I like computers (obviously) and messing around on the Interwebs (obviously).
I act like a fed sometimes.

@asie@mk.asie.pl Every time you succumb to the fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem and tell some poor clueless kid that can't run a bash script yet that he should run Mint on his gaming desktop because it's "stable" - that's one more person that inevitably decides we're all fucking crazy and never comes back Spot on. Every distribution of Linux has their own major asterisk. If you are on Fedora you need to manually grab unencumbered patents, or if you are trying to choose an arch distro it usually doesn't hold your hand, or if you use Ubuntu they might swap apt packages for snaps that sometimes have known issues.
Flatpak won when the Steam Deck shipped Flatpak as its default package manager for its desktop mode. SteamOS is by far the most popular desktop distro* and it has made its mark.
*chromeOS treats its dev terminal as a developer thing, not an end user thing.

@masklayer@slime.global I genuinely wonder, why are USB C flash drives so uncommon? Now that I think about it I have never seen a USB C flash drive. Ever.

Sharkey has been acting a little wonky for me lately, randomly not loading on Firefox until I clear cache. Anyone else on Sharkey facing this?

@jiub@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net sounds about right, mixing and matching desktops can be annoying especially if they don't use the same services for core things like power management, volume, Bluetooth, display brightness etc.

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io clearly you're trying to make us believe this is not valuable information of you stored in an encoded format! /s

@alice@lgbtqia.space I wrote a blog post about the current state of Android and how (I believe) Android was never destined to be open whatsoever - https://burgeronthe.net/googles-android.html

@alice@lgbtqia.space Software like Sharkey does a particularly good job of handling this on the poster's end by just notifying them that they missed adding alt text, so when they post images they know they are posting without alt text.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Doesn't the site imply "mainstream Linux distribution" is more desktop/server Linux and not Android and AOSP based systems, based on it demonstrating the attack occurring on distributions like Ubuntu, RHEL and Amazon Linux?

@nominom@ohai.social I might be mistaken but isn't Element server software (synapse mainly) dual licensed under AGPL and their own proprietary license? The government may be willing to open source their components in AGPL, right?
