Kuba, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I want to REALLY get into Linux I mean like using only a WM and not a DE. Learn nVim, make some cool Shell scripts and download graphene OS on my phone,

OK hear me out, I’m going to install boxes on my arch install since I use arch btw, and install Windows 11 in a VM.

I’m then going to sign in with my Microsoft™️ account and give them all my data. Then after my free trail of McAfee™️ and Norton are install, and I play the free games that are included like Candy Crush Saga™️. My VM will evolve from just a VM to a M. I do this until the FBI van arrives as Microsoft sell my data to to Government, or until my beast of a machine slows to a crawl as Microsoft™️ takes more data trying to find a buyer.

Then I will install Oracle™️ VirtualBox™️, and try out new OS’s like Ubuntu and Linux Mint. And when I settle on POP_OS I will free my M (since its prolonged suffering has evolved it from a VM), and install Linux.

Then I will find something wrong with the install, probably complain about SNAPs being an option, or that not all of the software is FOSS. Remove POP_OS and install arch.

TLDR I use arch BTW in both my ssd and my fake HDD on my ssd

Can we keep mainstream politics out of here please. I’m sick of them getting shoved into everything.

everything is political.

Cowbee,

Is Communism “mainstream” now?

Joking aside, politics are everywhere, and Lemmy is always going to be more political than reddit, as choosing Lemmy over Reddit is almost purely a choice based on political values.

SkyeStarfall,

FOSS is political.

0x4E4F,

As much as I’d hate to admit it, everything is politics… talking with your wife is politics.

SkyeStarfall,

Marriage is a legal institution codified into law, so… Yes. Especially when it comes to who gets to marry and how.

0x4E4F,

Getting married is the easy part. Staying married is the hard part 😂.

hi tux, I am hoping I don’t have to see the end of next year.

Those things were so hideous… and I actually thought they were cool at the time… well. Except OS9 sucked balls.

The power mac versions with the pull-to-open side were cooler. Mostly because there was a space above the PSU had just enough space to accommodate a tub of cottage cheese.

Pop it in on a Friday…. You’d be having class…. Elsewhere on Monday…

Zink, in Steve Balmer quotes

Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.

Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.

Cowbee,

It’s clearly a red scare parody.

Zink,

Of course, and it’s an old image too, but it still amused me thinking of the contrast between the message and the current audience.

Cowbee,

There isn’t, the message itself is satire. The audience is precisely who the message is for, it’s making fun of Microsoft comparing FOSS to Communism, parodying red scare propaganda.

Unless I’m misunderstanding you, of course.

jaybone,

Trying to explain satire is communism

KreekyBonez,

it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.

riodoro1,

Yeah, he’s probably giving mad tips to the dev and he looks happy, so we know the red dude is not just a dickhead.

OneShotLido, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I’ve been away from Linux for about a decade. Currently setting up Docker, and struggling with subuid and subgid. I’ll get there eventually, but man, this shit has really changed since I’ve been gone. Loving the challenge though.

possiblylinux127, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I’ll continue using my awesome setup I created. I have proxmox cluster with docker hosting Nextcloud, Jellyfin and a bunch of other services.

I especially like Jellyfin as I have a bunch of content and live TV. (DVRs rock)

bhamlin, in Name em

None. I use Gentoo and everything is compiled statically.

Lmaydev, in Steve Balmer quotes

Microsoft loves open source nowadays.

People do a huge amount of their work for free.

They’re also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.

0x4E4F,

Steve Balmer wasn’t as keen on it…

palordrolap,

With Microsoft, any love shown could well be the Embrace part of the strategy that will lead to Extend and then Extinguish just as soon as they can figure those parts out. They might already have a plan.

The fact they've been able to turn things to their advantage so far does not mean they don't have such a plan. Or won't ever have one.

Lmaydev, (edited )

Seems unlikely with how they work now. You also can’t really extinguish foss.

.Net is cross platform and open source as well now.

Maybe if Linux becomes a competitor in the desktop market. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Aggravationstation, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

Set up a bunch of self hosted apps on my pi 4 (Nextcloud is erm, next) to completely end my reliance on public cloud.

Use the Grocy instance I already have on that pi to plan recipes and eat healthy (after gorging myself like a drunken pig between now and new year’s day.)

This weekend’s job though, set up a quick ‘n’ dirty torrent box/ NAS with an old laptop for festive movie watching before building a better solution out of an old desktop once I have the cash sometime around summer.

Whisper06, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I’ll hopefully get my uConsole next year and I plan to do a WM arch setup

cyanarchy, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

Got a old piece of hardware that I want to breathe new life into as an NAS. Going to learn me some more about file systems and networks.

pineapplelover, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I need live wallpapers of tux

A_Porcupine, in Name em

We clearly need a “Periodic Table Song”, but for libs. 😅
