a bit faster and lighter on resources.
Can’t confirm. I have two VMs with an identical image (about 200 MB).
Docker: Pulling the image takes about 10 seconds and needs about 200 MB diskspace.
Podman: Pulling the image takes about 15 minutes and needs about 110 GB diskspace.
Docker: Commands like “docker ps”, “docker stop” etc. run in a few seconds.
Podman: Commands like “podman ps”, “podman stop” etc. take at least one minute.
but if someone installs arch then complains that it broke because they didnt check the news (something that the maintainers recommend you do) then the blame/fault shifts to the user, not the system.
The question is though why pacman does not display these news during the update. Gentoo has been doing this for decades.
Indeed I am always disguested when someone says “send a mail”.
Maybe this is more common when English is not your native language; e.g. in Germany, “mail” is “Brief”, and “email” is just “E-Mail” or more short “mail”, because no one says “elektronischer Brief”.
Interesting to see his take on “e-mail” vs “email”.
So that might just be the origin of this language butchering you observed; as “email” means something different in various languages, lots of people who don’t speak English as their first language might have chosen to use “mail” for electronic mail. That is just speculation of course.
I have been done with email for nearly a decade now, mostly. So, to answer your question, I use fax and snail mail. Not joking. I feel liberated and don’t give a shit about postage or inconvenience. There is still that exceptional 5% or so who I will exchange email with, which does not have GAFAM in the loop.
I respect that. Reminds me of Donald Knuth, who stopped using email in 1990: " I have been a happy man ever since January 1, 1990, when I no longer had an email address"
when email is effectively controlled by major tech companies,
That is not the case. We both can setup a mail server and email each other without any issues.
What alternative do you propose that is not based on some proprietary solution?
What is a “gender filter”?
I mean come on, is it really asked to much to say your name and why you are part of this meeting?
Yes.
It makes the meeting artificially longer; if we would just get started, we would save save. Doing this is just being disrespectful to everyone’s time.
Why do you pipe stderr of du into /dev/null?
The same idiots who bring a toddler to the art museum. I can keep myself together when I follow my girlfriend 3 hours walking at the slowest possible pace through a boring ass exhibition; the toddlers, not so much.
But maybe it was an employee and the screams of the child enhance my art experience somehow.
apple is scummy just like the other big tech companies but it’s one of the least scummy out there, especially wrt open source.
Maybe with regard to open source, because that benefits them as a company - let others fix their bugs for free. But definitely not with regard to free software.
That is why I self-host https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped ; it is a bit of work to setup, especially because you need a SSL certificate. But man that thing is fast.
But you can also just play the video in mpv.
The FreeBSD desktop exists, it is called “Mac OS”.
Linus Torvalds used the GPL for his kernel, forcing companies to release the source code if they improve it and distribute it. The main userland was a lot of GPL licensed GNU software for a very long time, with a similar effect.
The BSD folks, on the other hand, decided to give everything away, by using much more “liberal” licenses. Apple took the BSD base, bolted their UI on top of it and gave almost nothing back. That would not have happened if BSD was GPL licensed.
How is he misinformed when he does not have problems? I had NVIDIA cards for more than 15 years, never an issue with the linux drivers. Then I got an AMD and the driver occasionally crashes, bringing the whole desktop down.
Who the fuck writes “instagram” into the google search? You can’t remember that it’s “instagram.com”?
Your comparison of Linux fanboyism and veganism is on-point (I am a Linux user since 2001). However, regarding “converting” them - this picture is a joke, not really to be taken seriously.
Confusing “FOSS” with “free software” comes to mind.
I did not configure anything, I just installed it from the debian repository.
