@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

@Xerxos no, and i don’t mean to be all hand-wavey and say ‘oh AI isn’t a problem because it’s open source’ BUT, it does give me some vague hope because an increasing number of really good models are being open sourced and lots of people not working for shitty corporations are having a lot of success with non-corporate AI models so… i dunno, some good could come of it?
some bad could be mitigated? maybe?

@Croquette yeah, i feel like if today, someone invented a cure for cancer, it would be weaponized as leverage against some group/country
it’s alot to do with the political state of the world which is a lot to do with enduring oligarchies

@Croquette @DestroyerOfWorlds It’s all open source though and anyone can use it

@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

@Dehydrated but something something proprietary! waa!
/s

@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

@atzanteol @just_another_person i have run into issues like ‘almalinux doesn’t work on this machine but centos does’
some distributions i think have started to remove support for some older hardware assuming nobody is using it (thats my theory)

@Aatube @KarnaSubarna give us the widgets

@Kultronx @JoMiran heh i would say it absolutely does not but Bitwig has a native linux version :)

@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
