linux

I’ve been a Windows user for 35 years and a Linux user 24 hours. Both refreshing and a bit scary. #Linux

Depois de todos esses anos nessa indústria vital, é a primeira vez que me dei conta de que chamar GNU/Linux de "Linux" é uma metonímia. Ao rememorar essa figura de linguagem, foi possível ver ainda que usar o nome de uma parte de algo no lugar da denominação do todo consiste em um tipo específico de metonímia chamado sinédoque.

Então, a quem está ciente da questão: que tal dispensar a sinédoque nesse caso?

A quem ainda não sabe bem do que se trata ou sua importância, sugere-se a leitura, p. ex., de Usuários do GNU que nunca ouviram falar do GNU.

#GNU #GNUlinux #Linux #SoftwareLivre

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

As we all know @stefano is a fantastic advocate for all things #BSD and #Linux but what I'm really interested to hear is what's his daily driver? Is it a BSD or Linux ? 🤔

Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans

Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.

Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.

Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.

A few things to be wary of:

People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

We love #Linux ! 😍

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?

And the answer is: Yes, actually.

⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10

Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

New #intro!

I’m a hyperjack musician, writer & video artist. My latest album, ‘Status’, is mainly about escaping Big Tech dystopia.

My website https://meljoann.com includes nerdy blog posts on Faircamp, Owncast & leaving mainstream social media.

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.

Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.

I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.

I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

Freed a chromebook (Acer 14 CB3-431) from Google. Got it used for 65€. Still has the power for 5 hours of movie (full hd/h265) or 6-7 hours of working with LibreOffice.

Ieri, con @franiky_gts (anzi ha fatto tutto lei) abbiamo installato PureOS, un distro base Debian totalmente libera (nella brevissima lista della FSF per intenderci).

Provata poco ma sul muletto gira alla grande. Sapevo già che l'hardware non avrebbe avuto problemi perchè sul muletto avevo già installato GuixSD che però è troppo lenta(il muletto ha 15 anni). Il DE di default è GNOME; esiste anche la iso KDE plasma ma per colpa di @lorenzo 🤣 ho voluto dare una seconda possibilità a GNOME dopo anni e devo dire che non mi dispiace (anche se per il mio user ho i3wm di default 😈).

L'installer è Calamares quindi dovrebbe essere intuitivo per tuttз.

Installato subito synaptic per franiky intanto che ripassiamo un po' di apt, ma si ricorda parecchio direi, perchè quella specie di "store" (Gnome Software) mi indispettisce molto 😅.

Ieri sera abbiamo fatto poco in realtà, ma se qualcunə volesse provare una distro completamente libera, direi che questa mi sembra abbastanza semplice, hardware permettendo.
