@mfat @lemmyreader it’s a really nice firewall router too with every feature you’d want
I use pfsense now at work

@areyouevenreal bought some bitcoin once? cryto analyst!
asked chatgpt something once? AI LLM prompting
downloaded a movie on bittorrent? distributed networking!

@jaycifer @lightnsfw try adding “crypto” “AI” “decentralized” “quantum” to your resume

@pingveno i think that two things get conflated. 1. flatpaks and appimages, snaps, have some niche uses for obsolete software and maybe some other edge cases 2. because the two major standards are backed by dumbass corporate entities, they have been promoted as the universal solution to everything that will revolutionize linux 3. the real thing everyone hates, is these stupid companies trying to get rid of a beautiful package management architechture so they can enshittify linux like windows

@kingmongoose7877 until someone tells me another way to run 2 python apps one which requires python 2 and one which requires python 3, on the same system, which is EASIER than installing a flatpak, im gonna maintain that they have a use case, even if they aren’t idealized package management as we dreamed of

@squid_slime let me install this flatpak of kde wayland on my oracle unbreakable kernel running under redhat enterprise

@tet its great because you can listen to people whine about it now instead of systemd

@n3m37h @Dudewitbow HDMI consortium decides to f around and find out if people really care re: displayport vs hdmi

@scratchandgame @Pantherina i only have an issue when they dont upstream any of the functionality they add… buuuutttt… a lot of the progress linux has made in recent years has been upstreamed evil corporation™ code so… i dunno… mixed blessing

@LunchEnjoyer all day im like ‘why are people running os/2 warp suddenly?’

@Dehydrated the car i drive to work is entirely proprietary!
but yeah, open source is awesome but not using something useful/good because of its license is just kinda shooting yourself in the foot IMO

@Dehydrated this is my pet peeve everytime i try to discuss anything about linux someone interrupts me about how SOME COMPONENT is proprietary
like yeah, the keyboard on the laptop is proprietary, so are all the ICs, come on…

@Dehydrated but something something proprietary! waa!
/s

@aluminium @ExLisper i mean technically, apple is unix based and android is too, the unix-based OSes have clearly overtaken all the other proprietary systems that popped up in the last 30 years, so there’s that

@hperrin @Dirk you can do this somehow and I even had it working at one point, but it was kinda a pain in the ass and I never redid it

@Rustmilian @just_another_person has nothing to do with this gnome however:

@Flaky @halm be nice if you could just essentially plug-in engines and swap them out etc
in theory they are all supposed to support the same standards

@Aatube @KarnaSubarna give us the widgets

@highduc @TCB13 GIMP now supports CMYK iirc so that excuse is gone and OpenOffice Calc supports PIVOT TABLES so I don’t want to hear finance dept tell me that one anymore :)

@limelight79 @gayhitler420 my only real nitpick with debian is that the package updates are too slow for my personal taste. for other people, maybe its perfect, but i think ubuntu has just a bit more bleeding edge without being unstable.
my 2 cents
ymmv
