Jumuta,

free market works when the market is actually free.

As soon as entry costs are introduced into the market, the free market falls apart.

Think of the costs of building factories, rnd, lawyers, etc.

Jumuta,

That’s fair but I don’t see how that solution contributes to the content thread

Jumuta,

I’m already taking actions, but I do it with the understanding that it won’t make much of a difference.

I’m sorry to break your bubble but most people just don’t care. They want their computer to play a video off the internet, and don’t care how long that takes as long as it works. Maybe they’ll care about things in the specific interests they have, but they won’t care about computers, software, and libre software.

We, people that care about software freedom are a minority and we need to accept that. And the only way to get things done when you’re in the minority is to borrow power from the majority, e.g. by passing legislation.

Jumuta,

maybe communities should be able to flag that they’re the same community as one on another server, and if they mutually do so be combined into one metacommunity that people can search for

Jumuta, (edited )

it just didn’t boot for me when that was enabled

Jumuta,

I agree that “guys” is not a gendered term but I don’t like your argument.

Definitions of words can be very different to how people use them, and we shouldn’t constrain the use of words to their definitions.

Did deep sleep broke for anyone else recently or is it just me?

I was running KDE Neon on ThinkBook 15 G2 and had deep sleep working after adding mem_sleep_default=deep to GRUB_CMDLINE. It worked for a while until it didn’t. I didn’t do anything other than running regulat updates. Since couple weeks back, when going to sleep, it shows BIOS Recovery progress bar or something and restarts....

Jumuta,

so cat /sys/power/mem_sleep or whatever outputs with the brackets on deep?

Need Some Total Noob Advice for Installing and Running Linux

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like...

Jumuta,

do you have a spare computer? maybe try installing Linux using some YouTube guides if you have one, it’ll help you gain confidence

Jumuta,

yeah obviously

Jumuta,

y’all is nice but yall isn’t

Jumuta,

Bill Gates

Jumuta,

idk, your disk might be corrupted

did you do anything bootloader or disk related before this?

Jumuta, (edited )

I’m sorry but Musk’s rockets are probably the most environmentally friendly. There was the dust cloud in orbital flight test 1 but it’s definitely not as bad as some other launches from other organisations. Rockets fail and that’s not a problem if you fail intentionally.

Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability

I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo....

Jumuta,

make sure to get the quad core models for >t440p though

Jumuta,

idk if nsfw is allowed on .ml

Jumuta,

helix superiority

Jumuta,

before debian 12 though, it was kinda hard to find the nonfree netinstaller on their site

Jumuta,

should be easy enough to avoid by just not buying computers with that processor

Intel ME / AMD PSP are similar things already on CPUs today, and because pretty much all x86 CPUs have it, it’s very hard to avoid it. They’re basically builtin Intel/AMD spyware and the only way you can get rid of them is by using something like Coreboot, which has very limited availability

Jumuta,

because the default Firefox is either more convenient for most normal users or gets them more funding because of corporate sponsors

privacy and convenience is always a tradeoff so you can’t just make firefox really private like librewolf and expect mass adoption

Jumuta,

ehhh debatable, mozilla still gets a lot of funding from google so they’re not as independent as you think. A better world wpuld be one where qtwebkit based browsers, chromium based browsers and firefox based browsers have the same market share.

Unfortunately Apple stole qtwebkit and drove it into the grave so there’s little chance of that actually happening :(

I still hold out hope though, and try to use Falkon whenever possible

Jumuta,

but just don’t choose Manjaro

Jumuta,

what does

cat /sys/mem_sleep

give you?

Jumuta,

wtf did i just read
