Cool, where can we find it?

Or nushell.

I understand the argument being made, but I kind of disagree. Yes, picking a DE in which you'll be comfortable is really important (and often an undervalued aspect of using Linux for the first time), but I think that the time you need to spend self-maintaining your distro is more important, and is also prone to make-or-break your first-time Linux experience. That's the most important factor on whether a new user says "I love Linux and want to continue using it" or "I fricking hate Linux, it's filled with a bunch of problems, I'd rather just use Windows instead". And that's why it's important to recommend beginner-friendly distros, as to avoid frustration of newcomers, because those are more manageable (unless those newcomers want the frustration of managing something that they don't quite understand :)

Does it matter which one in specific? No, and it's probably at this point that the DE and visual looks should kick in.

Boo, what a blatant copy of the https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ /s

Does the dog like wearing clothes? I've always wondered that about animals that get dressed by their humans

I just see so many disadvantages on running your own instance:

• First and foremost, you need to rent a webserver and a domain.
• Then, you need to setup SSH and TLS, and to configure your server as to lessen the chances of you getting hacked/DOSed, and setup some failsafes in case someone still manages to hack you.
• Then you finally install the Mastodon/Pleroma/whatever and configure it to your liking.

And after all of that, many issues may still pop up at any time. What if your instance can't federate with others? And what if you get DDOSed? Lots of things can happen, and none of them seems fun.

I'm curious where linux fits into the story.

Someone here on Lemmy recently shared a really interesting article about the invention of Linux, written by a friend of Linus Torvalds who also worked on the project for a long time: https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/

Real Kanjidamage vibes

I should probably migrate my mastodon.social account, even though I barely use Mastodon. Any recommendations for cool servers with cool people?

For anyone wondering:

1. There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
2. This plugin isn't made by VideoLAN, it's made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
3. The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html

Nice one.

That album cover feels so angelical even

Can't wait for the tech reviews on this thing.

Wat, DougDoug ain't bald!

1. That's peak design.
2. WTF???????

Wait, is flosssing in the public domain even?

You missed the whole point of the article. If you don't have social media, you pretty much aren't advertising yourself. (What will you do instead? Ask people who like your art to show it to friends and family? Putting up posters in the streets saying "Please look at my art"?) No advertisement, no new fans of yours. No new fans of yours, no money from your art.
