Krause, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?
@Krause@lemmygrad.ml avatar

audacious, AFAIK it’s the only one to support vgmstream

Krause, to linux in Gentoo goes Binary (packages)
@Krause@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Why “less”? Gentoo is about choice, you can still compile all packages, this just gives you the option to install binaries if you prefer that.

/tmp and /var/tmp are writable to regular users on most distributions

Krause, to linux in Firefox (finally) enables Wayland by default on their builds

Also, we’re all using proprietary hardware

Sure, I have proprietary bits on my kernel and my AMD GPU needs proprietary firmware loaded to work, but that’s a hell lot different than the situation NVIDIA shoves users into. It’s one thing to have small proprietary components that don’t bother me or break my workflow, it’s another to have black box drivers that can bork my setup if I dare to update my packages.

Wayland does not work properly on NVidia hardware

That’s a feature, stop buying hardware from vendors that treat GNU/Linux and *BSD users as second-class citizens and locks them into proprietary drivers.

Wayland is biased toward Linux and breaks BSD

Seems to work just fine on FreeBSD.

Wayland breaks games

Games are developed for X11. And if you run a game on Wayland, performance is subpar due to things like forced vsync. Only recently, some Wayland implementations (like KDE KWin) let you disable that.

Gaming performance is actually better on Wayland.

Krause, to memes in Israhell’s exercise routine
@Krause@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You seem like the kind of person who runs defense for apartheid and genocide to avoid having to question your unwavering loyalty to the people who rule you, this was never a conversation worth having so I thank you for saving me the effort.

Now could we agree to switch “Israel as a nation” with “The right-extremist government of Israel, it´s military and the ultra-nationalist settler movement” please?

No we can’t, fuck off. Israel is an apartheid state and Zionism is an European settler-colonial movement.

Krause, (edited ) to linux in Are there any downsides to using Homebrew as a package manager on Linux?
@Krause@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I tried Homebrew once in a VM and didn’t like it, I felt it was too invasive.

  1. github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/…/install.sh#L17…

Why does it create another user and put files under /home/linuxbrew/? Answer:

The script installs Homebrew to its default, supported, best prefix (/opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon, /usr/local for macOS Intel and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew for Linux) so that you don’t need sudo after Homebrew’s initial installation when you brew install.

Where’s the logic in that? Why not just install to the user’s home directory so that you don’t even need root access in the first place?

  1. github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/…/install.sh#L22…

Why is sudo hard-coded? Answer: it’s to prevent people from using doas and other sudo alternatives.

  1. docs.brew.sh/Installation#untar-anywhere-unsuppor…

Why is installing from the tarball unsupported and so frowned upon? FFS isn’t this just supposed to be a package manager? Why is everything so complicated and opinionated when compared to pip, cargo, Flatpak, etc? Compare this mess to Golang’s install and uninstall process where you literally just need to tar -xzf a file or rm -rf a directory.

Krause, to asklemmy in Why don't we use PeerTube to host the videos for Lemmy/kbin?
