Just to add confusion to the whole thing... I'm in the throes of writing my own media server... No blackjack or hookers yet, but it's pretty cool. You can try it out here: github.com/taobear68/rmvod

I always wonder if when a corporate behemoth open sources a model, theyโ€™re simply saying โ€œwe donโ€™t think itโ€™s profitable, and thatโ€™s all that matters.โ€

in reply to It's FOSS

These are the three websites ๐Ÿ‘‡

โ€” linuxhandbook.com/
โ€” linuxjourney.com
โ€” tldp.org

in reply to It's FOSS

I learn more from those:
- docs.kernel.org
- x86.syscall.sh
- github.com/mirror/busybox
- github.com/bminor/musl
I rather busybox and musl because the code is simpler to understand.

I hate to say it right now, but democracy depends on obedience. The question right now: Where does your obedience lie?

in reply to Nathan Schneider

Always eager to read a new piece of yours!

The On the Waterfront/Salt of the Earth contrast is not great. The collective struggle of ILA members against the mob, at great personal cost, was in no way anti-union. The "labor priests" who supported workers played a key, rebellious, role. And, as Bert Cochran detailed in his book Labor and Communism, the influence of Stalinism in unions like the Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers was often harmful to democratic worker self-organization.

in reply to Matt Noyes

@Matt_Noyes That's fair. Though I think it's also important to read Waterfront through the particular context of Kazan's anti-communist testimony. There are some good papers on the comparison, eg: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108โ€ฆ

I try not to be too preachy about where I work these days, but in light of all the B.S. Zuck dropped yesterday wanted to pitch Retro as a possible alt for people looking for a non-Meta owned personal social network. retro.app Elevator pitch: we're like Instagram ~10 years ago. No ads, no algorithm, no influences, just friends. Worth consideration!

Did you know red meat contributes up to 30% of agricultural emissions? It's one reason the ag sector is the 2nd-largest greenhouse gas emitter after energy. But not all meats have the same impact - on the planet or our personal health.

2025โ€™s here, and these 6 Linux distros are ones youโ€™ll want to keep on your radar! ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ‘€

news.itsfoss.com/linux-distrosโ€ฆ

in reply to It's FOSS

i absolutely agree with this list. I can't wait to get stable and fully featured wayland first DE in the highly optimized Pop_OS the same way I want to see the gnome and kde made in the way developers intended in the immutable package that will make sure people can rely on their system stability. But adding Ubuntu and Fedora in there seems kinda off - they arent as exciting as all previous points
in reply to It's FOSS

I think with Arch Linux deserves to be on the list:

1) Being in collab with Valve.

2) RFC for non-x86 architecture aka Arch Linux Ports: rfc.archlinux.page/0032-arch-lโ€ฆ

3) Being used more and more as a base. Example KDE Linux, SteamOS and more.

in reply to Mlรฉkaล™ Dan ๐Ÿฆฃ

@mlekar it's hardware, releasing everything before they've even had a chance to produce it themselves would be idiotic

they're a business

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

well I don't think that anyone should market something as open source if it is not at the moment. Seems dishonest. Also what is the cause of secrecy there? It's just a rpi 5 with off the shelf display, battery and keyboard in a molded case.
in reply to Mlรฉkaล™ Dan ๐Ÿฆฃ

@mlekar it's not dishonest in any way if that's what they will do, you're arguing at something when they haven't yet done anything at all wrong, just chill jeez
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I dont want to be a dick, I have burned myself multiple times on various kickstarter projects and this one in particular rises just enough red flags for me to be vary about the hype, however I would love to be wrong - especially about this one.


For the library folks out there: Word from Marshall Breeding is that SirsiDynix has been acquired by a group of businesses that also own BiblioCommons and EnvisionWare.

I've used Vim off and on for years. Not that difficult to use. Only need to know a few commands to use it. Power users would need to know a lot more.
