pastermil,

The only kind of draft they’d take is the beer kind.

pastermil,

I’m running coreboot on my machine. What’s your excuse?

pastermil,

It’s like the place where your bosses put lame boomer-styled memes and motivational stuff.

pastermil,

The fact you’re still on r/piracy is beyond me 🙄

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

Downvotes from Zion apologist in… 3… 2… 1…

pastermil,

On the other hand, check out this cool office document editor you’d have to pay yearly for.

Also, there’s this spying technology that comes with every new car. What are we spying? Well, you.

SDDM Wayland Greeter, to have 100% wayland on KDE

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

pastermil,

How about collecting & watching pirated TV shows off the internet?

pastermil,

If he did, the grandson may not exist

pastermil,

Also:

  • init system, without which you’d be left with only one program running at a time
  • some programs are written in interpreted language (e.g python, shell, perl), so the interpreter would also be required
  • C library, without which none of the above would function (yes, even if all the programs are statically compiled, it still has that library included with each executable)
  • this one is not necessary for the runtime, but is needed for creating a working system: toolchain – preprocessor, compiler, linker, assembler – all the stuff for transforming the source code into executables

Another comment mentioned Linux From Scratch, I’d totally recommend that, but it would take so much of your time manually building stuff (which is why it is so educational). If you don’t have the time, you may want to opt with Gentoo instead.

pastermil,

Yeah, I think Canonical is full of crap, but in this context, what they’re doing is justified.

This article is clickbait.

pastermil,

Time to make SDDM greeter Wayland by default as well!

pastermil,

I thought this is everywhere

And I’ve never been to Europe

pastermil,

Just get a 20 or 30 series Thinkpad that has no nvidia GPU, and flash coreboot on it.

No, you cannot get 100% free firmware these days, but you can get something close this way.
