Wayland … uses some Linux-specific components or libraries

No. Wayland is a protocol, not software.

rah,

I’m unwillingly associated with mankind.

rah,

a new libre respecting laptop (Star Labs is thankfully available in India)

FYI, Star Labs’ laptops require proprietary blobs.

rah,

Then probably the people to ask would be the Devuan people.

freedom of init system

What do you mean by this?

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...

rah,

I guess doing the same on my smartphone wouldn’t be too hard

Snigger

rah,

Device Tree Source. It’s a text description of the hardware. The kernel uses it to load and configure drivers. It’s the most critical set of information for supporting any particular board.

rah,

run a mainline kernel

Having a board which is supported by mainline doesn’t imply running a mainline kernel. Having mainline support is a huge advantage regardless of which kernel is run on a board.

Installies, a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for installing things on Linux and Unix-based operating systems. (installies.org)

Hi, for the past few months I have been working on my website Installies. It is a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for use to install, remove, update or compile apps on Linux and Unix-based systems....

Do we have enough coders to collaborate on an extension like this? (merv.news)

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link...

rah,

its for the lemmy/fediverse community as a whole

Then wait for the community to implement the thing you want.

Or learn to code.

rah,

If so how do we get started? (Idk how to code)

Learn to code. Otherwise, there’s no “we”.

Nobody is going to do programming work for you for nothing. Plenty of ideas men, thanks, don’t need any more.

Sad because I have only one upvote to give

rah,

unwelcoming attitude to newcomers

There isn’t an unwelcoming attitude to newcomers, there’s an unwelcoming attitude to idiots.

Look at the build output for the error. Run the build again with “-j1” if neccessary.

Also, try searching the web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems without being spoon-fed then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.

question about "synchronic displacement" in TNG 'Times Arrow'

So in this episode they go into a cave, and can read some sort of energy field, as well as Troi having a sense that there are lifeforms present. Geordie explains that the people must be displaced in time, but only by a few milliseconds. If that’s true, how is there not overlap? Say the people are a few milliseconds ahead of...

You won’t be able to make sense of it because the idea is just some nonsense words made up by writers as a means of allowing the story they wanted to tell to be told. It doesn’t make sense because it’s writing, not science.

Edit: fascinated by the downvotes.

rah,

if anyone more knowledgeable than ne could either confirm that it’s nonsense or give me a way that it’s actually potentially possible based on some legitimate scientific theory

Ah, an actual answer.

rah,

we do expect everyone to engage in discussion politely and seriously

My response was both serious and polite. No idea what you’re talking about.

rah,

We all know it’s made up and in the end there is no actual, definitive, real answer

We are here for the creative exercise of finding an answer that fits the universe of the show and episode.

OP’s question gives the impression that they’re here for an actual answer.

rah,

Is there any way to fight those assholes?

Yes, don’t give them your money.
