Shuttleworth announced in November 18.04 will receive 10 years of support as well.

I'm relatively certain 4690 OS is a independent, proprietary OS or at least lacking the Linux kernel, which is pretty important.

It's a bit of an odd ball, but I loved contributing to the GuixSD project. I contributed multiple packages after learning Guile Scheme in a couple of days.

My experience trying to update a package was similar. I use Ubuntu so I had the extra friction of using their Launchpad service first, then being told to go-to the Debian lists instead.

Wow, that was an excellent post. I love that they ended up contributing back to a couple projects as they found bugs or lack of functionality with them.

I was actually playing with OpenBSD while stuck with the flu. The good: * ifconfig handling everything is brilliant. Having one tool to do networking, including WiFi(!) is great. * the documentation i…

Can you expand it on this? I agree that I use Ubuntu on server because I use it on the desktop, that makes sense. However, when I installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 recently it was delightful . There was …

If we were talking about OpenBSD I would agree with you, but I can promise you all those are functional across many laptops and desktops I've used. > Consistent UI, consistent configuration sc…

I haven't heard of No Agenda in years. I stopped listening to them a while back after they had a hard right turn IIRC. Their business model was excellent though.

I also have a good track record with Namecheap for bussiness and personal domains.

That's great, I do like using `ifconfig` for everything - it just makes more sense.

Anyone here use OpenBSD in production? I've used it off-and-on it always felt prickly, even with the excellent documentation.

I use the Materialistic app on Android. Works great.

They haven't given up Wayland though, it's just not ready for primetime quite yet - especially not for an LTS. They stuck with Unity for almost eight years as well, that's pretty long h…

I implore anyone interested in The Web, Operating Systems, project design/management etc, the mobile space...just about anyone really to read the original Story of Firefox OS and this follow up.

the Librem 5 phone will actually be using their own Phosh [1] shell - made for mobile devices. It's targeting GTK3+ apps but it is not GNOME 3 based. [1] https://source.puri.sm/Li…

It was merely a philosophical digression that clearly went nowhere. I'm not sure how you could've assumed I meant "all" left-wing thinkers. Only that a significant amount have talk…

I love to hate on Facebook to, but the point is that they get better - and this seems to be and excellent start! But I've yet to find similar opinions in tech groups online or even less techy s…

If we can assume Facebook's apps aren't lying (i.e. E2E is properly implemented - this seems to be the case with WhatsApp) then this is better for those exact purposes. Even the star child S…

But they're already doing that? If I could snap my fingers and everyone would switch to Matrix [1] I would, but as it stands hundreds of millions of people use these services daily and getting th…

Can someone fill me in on why people are upset Facbook will be consolidating DMs/PMs accross services - using E2E ? I've went other the past news releases, it seems to be a good thing t…

If you're reducing terms to meaninglessness yes, "everyone's police." The thinkers analyze the role police play in modern society. This refers to modern police forces that have the…

I used a blackberry as my first smartphone. It did a lot of things amazingly well that I still crave today. However the lackluster and slow web browser kept it from being "Smart" - especiall…

If we are being philosophical, plenty of left-wing thinkers have advocated for police abolition.

People suggesting Signal over Telegram must not have used either extensively. Telegrams UX is leagues beyond Signal and good enough that I've gotten my entire social circle to switch.

I like messing around with ffmpeg from time to time, and while I love free formats I have say VP9 is practically unusable for me, it just takes insane amounts of encoding time. I'm unsure what ha…

I've heard good things about the XPS line, but I'm surprised you'd move to a Macbook over throttling . My understanding is Macbooks are notorious for throttling, the last MB Pro bug be…

First off comparing the UX of the C64 and DOS to a modern Linux shell is nuts. I like my GUIs for a lot of things. Music playing for me almost requires album art. Instant messaging as well, I ne…

FreeNAS works fine with 8GB RAM, especially with such little data
