Yeah, very nice. It will be tough to bootstrap since you need a critical mass of people who ideally live close together so that it’s cheap and quick enough to deliver the items in question.
I’ll give it a try. Nothing to loose.
I’ve been using various GNU/Linux distro over the course of the last 20 years. When I started out, packages could never be too fresh and cutting edge. Nowadays I’m an admin and I administer way too many VMs. I dream of a system that I never need to update. While I know that’s almost impossible if you want to be secure now might finally be the time I give slackware a try. I’m also old enough to be more curious about learning less but more in depth.
Libre office calc would do the trick also, every cell is a day for example
Why a gantt chart for a road trip though. There are not that many parallel things you usually do, no?
KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.
Nice. I like the idea of simple and small. I’ve had a look at Plan 9 some years ago and had the impression it was mostly dead. Nice to hear that there is some movement.
Amazing. Do you feel that it has a future?
Thanks for the interesting point! I learned something today. I guess it all depends on your use-case, whether flatpaks make sense or not.
A floss project’s success is not necessarily marked by its market share but often by the absolute benefit it gives to its users. A project with one happy user and developer can be a success.
I’m not against probabilistic models and the like. I merely try to capture part of the reason they are not always well received in the floss community.
I use LLMs regularly, and there is nothing rivalling them in many use cases.
Flatpaks won’t get their libs updated all at once by just updating a library. This can be very bad in cases like bugs in openssl. Instead of just updating one library and all other software benefiting from the fix, with flatpaks, you need to deal with updating everything manually and waiting for the vendor to actually create an update package.
I’m not 100% sure about this. Flatpak has some mechanisms that would allow to manage dependencies in a common fashion.
This and on top of being inexact, it’s not understandable and un-transparent. These are two of the top reasons to push for free software. Even if the engine executing and teaching models are free, the model itself can’t really be considered free because of its lack of transparency.
I think it’s a short term vs long term debate. In the short term snaps are nice. They might help you get that software you want right now. In the long term though, it will only take away some of your rights and make you into a product.
There are also some interesting things to say about wording. Specifically consumer vs user. Software is not consumed, it’s used and depending on the specific software, the user might be abused by the people producing and controlling the software.
FreeCAD is really good nowadays. You need a bit of time to get into it but then it comes with everything needed also for complex multi-part assemblies.
You’re both right!
Look at the post behind the link. There is a dark mode version.
