  • gnome terminal and console have hardware acceleration and have had it for a while AFAIK

  • Organic Maps and thus by extension CoMaps are supposed to be minimalist and light on features. They are kinda the polar opposite to OSMAnd (at least regarding that)

  • It's so jover. Not even "reputable" news outlets know what correlation is anymore 💀

  • Every IT-literate person fights kernel-lvl malware disguising as games with everything they got.

    Since Linux has a high percentage of those, I hope those "solutions" will never spread

  • "Turning"?! "into"?!

    ig neither the glowies, nor Snowden, nor Manning exist

  • Postgres slowing factor

    I'm pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS's is faster than Python 💀

    EDIT: skimmed it wrongly, see corrections below

    Also no one knows how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

  • Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

    Assuming they haven't gone bankrupt by then ((:

  • Glad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy.

    Though I would recommend you go with "Syncthing-Fork", as iirc the "vanilla" app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that

  • Well, if you didn't know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client.

    But, I think both support making local backups of your chats.
    I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop

  • Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

    I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing

  • exactly, "reserve army of labour" is a tale as old as capitalism.

    Just that the IT industry has run a very effective propaganda campaign for it

  • Doesn't seem like it, but users who don't know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading

  • Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

  • Maybe Aurora by Universal Blue?

    It's based off of Fedora Silverblue, so it's atomic, rock solid and basically guaranteed to work (more secure by design as well). But uses KDE Plasma instead of Gnome and has a bunch of improvements here and there, including proprietary codecs and Nvidia drivers preinstalled (latter depending on the image you choose)

  • I personally wouldn't go that far tbh, but I haven't rly looked into it that much so idk.
    To me it seems like they are still maintaining Firefox, Gecko, and Thunderbird (which is more independent tho IIRC) quite well.
    I use Thunderbird directly and Firefox through Librewolf

    (haven't rly had the drive to look into Thunderbird analogues to Librewolf. Should rly do that tho)

  • The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

  • Bc this seems to be a crosspost, imma cross-comment:

    I get wanting to phase out Mercurial in favour of git. But why did they have to choose Github T_T

    Ideally they would have just hosted a their own Forgejo instance (heck, a Gitlab one would have been better too FFS). Even just using Codeberg and donating would have been better

    The for-profit side of Mozilla seems to have succeeded in purging most of the principles Mozilla used to have (IK they have been eroding over the years and sometimes been too "pragmatic", this is just the cherry on top of a long series of shitpiles)

    If Mozilla actually stood for a free/libre future they'd push Forgejo to the lvl they need it to be (if it already isn't capable of all that stuff. Haven't rly interacted much with it). Since they will still keep the CI/CD on Mercurial for now, there is even less valid reasons for using Github...
