Peter Sunde said that the show is not a fair description of what happened and that it's missing the focus on what was important.

It's like the first time I saw the movie Trash Humpers (2009), I was thinking to myself: is this a good movie? It isn't. But, the beauty of that movie is that it exists. There's no deep hidden symbolism, it's a bunch of old people in long awkward scenes where they literally hump trash. The lack of a coherent plot adds to the question why they do that. In this world of endless choices and struggling, these people are trash humpers. And that's respectable in a whole aspect.

In an ideal world, dodging questions would lead to decreased popularity. Politicians should feel that if they give bullshit answers, they will not get elected. To get there, we must actually demand, reward, and punish with the power we have, our votes. Of course, one person doing it makes no difference. We need to convince others that this is important.

hello fellow sdf'er :) I specifically chose SDF so I could choose what to block myself, and so far I have just blocked a lot of anime. Anything political I see is leftist.

Does ex(1) count as specialized/higher ed? On BSD systems I just use standard ed(1).

If you don't mind me asking, how is this affecting you? How do you feel about it?

Is this something she expects you to figure out for her?
If I were you, I'd explain that you're open to try anything in any way that she is willing to try with you, but the initiative must come from her. You are there for her to help her figure it out, if she's interested in trying something.
If she is interested in exploring this, she will. If she is not, well, then nothing you can do will help or convince her. Instead it could become a stressful expectation in itself.

After reading this I was at the local grocery store and counted 17 different kinds of bearnaise they sell. Sweden loves bearnaise.

Only for a while, because I heard that it's the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so.. I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.

 

A video from openSUSE Conference 2024 about using distrobox on openSUSE Aeon.

 

For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system".
I also think we could learn website design from.. looks at notes ..everyone else.

I'm not proposing anything here, I'm curious what you all think of the future.

What is your vision for what you want Linux to be?

I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc.

A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it's now your desktop computer. That's one vision. ChromeOS has its "everything is in the cloud" vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it's free software.

If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?
