I mean as long as it's apple and not some small company or individual, they can extort away.

You mention the community in your post

For example @lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Can't wait for the next one, I hear it's gonna be called Half-Life 3.

Yes, open source software often requires funding and corporate support because we live in a primarily capitalist society. That doesn't make it capitalist itself.

And I think the freedom foss offers is socialist - it necessitates cooperation, it's open for all to see and contribute to, and the idea of ownership is very loose. It doesn't matter what the political motivation is.

I don't think we disagree. Just thought it was interesting how closely FOSS ideas match those of communism and socialism, even though a lot of people probably don't view it that way.

The idea of free software is extremely socialist/communist. People working together to create something that anyone can use for free, with profit being a non-existent or at least minor motivator.

Maybe it was originally but I kind of enjoy being rickrolled. I get to listen to a cool song.

Plenty of the mods (portal stories Mel, portal reloaded) have plenty of playtesting. Valve already did most of the work with the base game, making sure the mechanics all function properly. But I think it's just as feasible to design a good puzzle with 5 playtesters as it is with 100.

Why would they? What could they offer that the hundreds of community test chambers and mods don't?

How would the distro tell if the tar.gz is a program or just a bunch of compressed files? I tend to use tar files for compression rather than for distributing or installing software

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda

Wipes the entire disk and replaced it with random data.

I've been using fedora on a surface go 3 and it's been a good experience - auto rotate works and osk mostly works. In general Gnome seems to be the best DE for touchscreens, especially if you use it in tablet mode a lot. You're gonna at least want something up to date and probably using Wayland, so I wouldn't go with mint.

One option is to use something like Fedora or Arch for both PCs, but use a different desktop environment (gnome on the 2-in-1, kde on the desktop).

Don't all mastodon accounts have RSS feeds?

It might not show up if you only play on one device.

Finally instance blocking! That should help a lot to tone down some controversies.

If you want it to sync with your Google account, gnome and other distros have an "online accounts" setting where you can log in with your Google account and see your Google drive as a mounted drive. Then you can store your files there.

Here's a tutorial if you need a visual
