bamboo, to linux in Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator

Wine is much, much better at this point. In particular, Darling doesn’t have much support for GUIs yet, so unless it is a command line tool you probably want to stick with Wine.

bamboo, to linux in Canonical changes the license of LXD to AGPL

It requires that you make available the full source code to anyone who you give binaries too (like the GPL), but also requires you make available that source to users of the software over a network. So, someone could not make a proprietary fork of AGPL software to sell exclusively as a service. In order to provide that service you have to also be willing to provide the source, including changes, which would allow users to then choose to run that service themselves instead of being forced to pay the provider.

bamboo, to linux in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

Interestingly though unless it has changed recently, you can’t add a third party snap repository. Canonical’s is hard coded, and when people requested alternate repo support, the issue was closed with a response that users seeking third party repos could just edit the string and recompile. Not the most useful solution

bamboo, to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

I thought maybe Minecraft would run faster on it. It didn’t, but it kicked off a learning process.

bamboo, to linux in Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git

It’s rather bold of many of the commenters in this thread to assume they know the needs of Mozilla and their developers rather than those people themselves. GitHub makes complete sense, even if it doesn’t live up to some people’s desires for free software purity.

bamboo, to linux in Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

The thermals and battery life of my Apple silicon MacBooks are unlike any other laptop I’ve owned. When I first got one, I started thinking of recharging it not in hours, but in days. 3-4 days between charges was normal for typical use. Mind you that was not full workdays, but the standby time was so good that I didn’t have to consider that the battery would decrease overnight or in my bag. I’ve used multiple Dell, Thinkpad, and Intel Mac laptops over the past decade as well and none of them come within spitting distance on battery life and thermals. I really hope that Qualcomm can do for other manufacturers what Apple silicon has done for MacBooks.

bamboo, to linux in KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

Like the other guy said, it is indicator of new account age. I think there is a setting to turn it off if you dislike it.

bamboo, to piracy in 12ft.io (paywall article unlocker site) has been banned by Vercel

That’s not even what 12ft.io was. It wasn’t scraping anything, it was just a redirect to the google web cache. Importantly, it was also accessible, something that anyone could use without installing anything.

bamboo, to linux in Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

Legitimate repairability and pricing concerns aside, what parts exactly are you accusing of being straight from the dumpster? The GPU is insane for a low-power laptop, screen, speakers, trackpad are best in class. Keyboard is a matter of preference but by any objective measure it’s not bad, much improved from butterfly switches.

bamboo, to linux in Laptop with long runtime

Does anyone have one of these that could confirm if that’s realistic? I’ve seen many laptops with similar specs and claims that come out to significantly lower battery life unless you do nothing but stare at an empty desktop.

bamboo, to linux in Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git

It’s the most widely used platform that the most people are familiar with that they get to use likely for free. Newer projects of theirs are also hosted there. Why would you say it makes no sense?

bamboo, (edited ) to linux in Debian Bug report logs: #1057843 - linux: ext4 data corruption in 6.1.64-1

Unlikely as they both have their own kernels.

Edit: actually raspberry pi uses a 6.1 kernel it seems so this might affect them. But they aren’t using the Debian package directly.

bamboo, to news in UN chief uses rare power to warn Security Council of impending ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ in Gaza

In the immediate aftermath of the Nakba, they didn’t want to make the refugees status permanent because they expected the refugees to someday be able to return to their land. In more modern times, Lebanon has a (largely unsuccessful) balance of power between the Christians, Sunnis, and Shias. Making the refugees position permanent would significantly upset that balance by shifting the population in favor of the Sunnis.

bamboo, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

Glad we both leaned something :)

bamboo, to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

That makes sense. Companies with no presence in the EU can likely skirt the rules, but any large company with an EU presence will be compelled to follow them.
