Want more GNU in Linux, so Guix, btw. पूंजीपति will be sent to corrective labour camp.

velox_vulnus,

Is that pic from Tamil Nadu?

velox_vulnus,

How about the other way around? I want to switch to Guix, but I want to keep using Nixpkgs for the time being?

I looked for it for, like, a hour or so, but couldn’t find the scanned copies.

Thank you for your effort, but it looks like someone will have to create a scanned archive haha.

I tried to email those folks, but never got a reply back. Kinda irritating, but as a last resort, I think I’m gonna have to ask for permission from the university where the books are currently available, travel to the physical location myself, borrow a camera, and archive the scans on the internet.

Apparently, this dictionary is said to the most comprehensive for any Dravidian language, and has been awarded the Gundert Award. It is kind of frustrating that I did not know about this work before, because right now, I am using Mariappa Bhatt and Shankar Kedilya’s dictionary, which isn’t that comprehensive, and also lacks IPA guides for character phonetics.

Right now is not the best time for me, because I am jobless, and have some monetary issues right now. I am trying to create a open-source WordNet (yes, there is one already available, but I could not find the data) to prepare this for when resource-poor languages can be successfully introduced to LLMs.

I should have framed my words better, I guess. Rust is a radically different language, and honestly, none of the feature it offers fixes the main issue, that is technical debt - I mean yes, there’s incline C or FFI, but that’s still going to be a radical migration.

What I’m trying to propose is an alternative project, independent from the ISO. Maybe it could be a C-to-Rust, or a C-to-Vale migration project. It could be any of the modern language, I don’t really care. But that particular compiler/transpiler/migrationpiler/<something>-piler should have the ability to do step-by-step migration.

Thank you for this. I think you probably forgot these ones:

Also !bharat is another redundant community - !india already does that job well.

Use Nix or Guix if there’s a lot of stuff that you want to move. What you’re doing is just pointless overkill.

velox_vulnus,

I use Matrix, which is filled with a bunch of Linuxheads and FOSSQueers, so it may not be to your liking. Other alternatives are Jami and Simplex.

What are the differences between linux distributions?

Hey guys! Trying to understand what developers actually do to create a yet another distro, or what are the differences between existing distros. Lets say we have ubuntu and fedora. What are the differences? Excluding DE, Installer, theme, installed packages/libs and package manager. They both are FHS compliant, both running...

velox_vulnus,

Research. ClearLinux is optimized, NixOS and Guix uses functional package managers.

Apart from that, there can be differences in FHS, standard library, package managers, etc.

velox_vulnus,

I would like to understand how would one delete their account under Jami? It is supposed to be peer-to-peer, right? So why the need for a username?

velox_vulnus, (edited )

Get a cheap mechano-membranous keyboard. You might be able to buy a bunch of cheap keycap set for the same.

Or just use a sticker.

CLI Editors with Distrobox?

How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...

velox_vulnus,

Use Nix expressions or flakes for that - just copy a simple example of default.nix or shell.nix from a git host and tweak it to your liking. Personally, I am not a fan of how Nix handles Python, and still can’t get used to how Python packages have to be included in expressions, so I create a temporary virtual environment for the time-being.

velox_vulnus,

Why the downvotes? Is there something negative about this art style?

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

velox_vulnus,

I don’t like GNOME for it’s poor theming support and it’s toxic dev community (ahem, talking about senior devs, especially Ebassi’s hostility towards newbies), but I think that it has some well-designed defaults. I love the workflow - everything is fast and snappy, shortcuts are pretty nice, aligning window is quick, and if there’s a lack of space, I can just drop the app in another workspace. Yes, I am using GNOME 45 at the movement, and I think it’s quite nice. But I also love the roadmap of GNUStep, and maybe if I can in the future, I would love to assist Gregory Casamento.

velox_vulnus,

That is definitely not going to work on Guix or NixOS lol.

velox_vulnus, (edited )

Honestly the name and editing is so funny.

velox_vulnus,

“Tooh Rerererere!”

“Tooh Rererere!”

“Boss, yes?”

velox_vulnus,

What systems do you use? I mean boot, init, home and all of that…

velox_vulnus, (edited )

I have ₹8k in my bank account - that is how much I’ve earned from my stupid internship in four months. Used some of it for emergency reasons. Placements for CS have dropped by 70% in India. I’ve graduated with a useless degree. And I’m still jobless after graduating last September. Haven’t used my bank account in a year lol. Have a broken laptop and phone. Fuck the system.

velox_vulnus,

If I remember, there was another display protocol being developed as an answer to Wayland for BSD. I don’t remember what it was called, but that project was basically about an open source MacOS.

velox_vulnus,

Is Guille compatible with Elisp? Because if it is, then you’re in luck!

velox_vulnus, (edited )

If you scroll down in the comments below, you’ll understand why - OP doesn’t like corporate backed software.

velox_vulnus,

More than DP, Ableton or Bitwig?

velox_vulnus, (edited )

There’s also a lot of racist spam from that instance. I’ve seen multiple images targeting Indians with toilets and excretion, especially on !memes.

velox_vulnus,

I have the same issue, and that’s affecting my productivity a lot. I’ve even disabled history from my entire Google account, so that I’m not suggested videos. But that’s still not working. Fuck you Google, you’re like that enabler friend who will force his alcoholic friend to drink even if he’s suffering from gangrene.

velox_vulnus,

Dying is better anyway, when not born with a silver spoon.
