toastal, to memes in venture capitalism goes brrr

Community should fork & fix it⋯ oh

toastal, (edited ) to linux in KDE Plasma Mobile 6 Porting Underway

Nothing would make me more happy. I really wish it weren’t such a pain to deal with the telephony. You check devices on postmarketOS & while some devices can boot, it’s usually the actual phone part that isn’t working–which is kind of an important part. The open hardware phones work fine, but their specs are ancient while being as expensive as flagships. I still have eventual hope tho as device needs have started to plateau.

toastal, to linux in TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

It’s pretty hard to fight hegemony when your salary is just built on donations. A lot of important tech is also paid for via government grants then the private sector gets to use it and erect the walled gardens when it should be in the commons.

toastal, to memes in I love piped bot

One advantage of linking a YouTube video in an aggregator setting is if the video goes viral, everyone is spamming Google’s server for delivery instead of hammering smaller services. Video is pretty expensive, so for now I see no issue abusing YouTube (assuming everyone here is already ad-blocking & DNS sinking anyhow).

Will the source code ever move off of proprietary Microsoft GitHub where users need to have an account to contribute & search code—or certain users are blocked due to US sanctions? If the idea is wanting to stand up against centralized US-corpo-controlled social media for forums, why use that US-megacorpate-controlled code forge / social media platform?

1920×1080 FH

Not 2k. Not 16:9. Probably doesn’t even cover DCI-P3 or decent color accuracy. Folks are gonna keep thinking Linux is a geeks-only thing if you have terrible panel that’s bad for content creation.

toastal, to memes in I value this meme at eleventy billion and won't take a cent less

NFTs

Note: this is how you spell it. Apostrophes are for possession & contraction …not making words plural.

toastal, to memes in Your mix tape isn't fire, it's smouldering at best

Is this the real reason polka was invented?

toastal, (edited ) to linux in Linux reaches new high 3.82%

The more the number change in that direction, the more game devs will not choose to ignore non-Microsoft Windows options too moving the needle to native support. Imagine a future where a game only works after enabling WSL with command flag workarounds if you want to play on a proprietary OS 😂

I have had 1080, 4k, & 2k laptops in my life. 1080 text is blurry. 4k is obviously overkill wasting battery on pixels you can’t see. 2k has crisp text without so much wasted density & you have to get unreasonably close to the panel to tell the difference.

toastal, to privacy in Dropbox is sharing users' files with OpenAI, here's how to opt out

rsync was created in 1996

toastal, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Was that an Ubuntu problem or a GNOME thing?

toastal, to fuck_cars in French city of Montpellier makes public transport free for all residents

I don’t like the idea of requiring folks have chips on them & needing bank accounts to access transport. Worse if a for-profit payment processor gets to skim a little off on every transaction.

toastal, to privacy in NixOS

I mean yes you reduce your privacy by interacting with Microsoft GitHub in general, but posting your Nix config to the public isn’t much of a privacy concern since you shouldn’t have any plaintext secrets anyhow as a best practice since it would be compiled into the Nix store. There are a couple of different ways to encrypt secrets, as well as just not committing private *.nix to a public repository.

toastal, to opensource in Enshittification of GitHub?

Codeberg is ran by a German nonprofit. GitLab is publically-traded on NASDAQ.
