31·2 days agoDon’t you need to put it on a USB-stick first? That’s the biggest hurdle, I think. Then getting into the BIOS and choosing which device to boot from. Those 2 steps are the ones that kick most normal people out.
I hope the installer will be so easy that even non-gamers with little to no technical knowledge will be able to download it, double-click, and follow the wizard then end up with SteamOS installed. That would be the dream.
I had a look at NetBSD and FreeBSD: I don’t think they are in a better position than linux honestly. NetBSD still uses CVS and mailinglists for contributing.
NetBSD even starts with this
An addition or change to the existing source code is a somewhat trickier affair and depends a lot on how far out of date you are with the current state of FreeBSD development.
Both might be even be worse than linux in terms of ease of contributions…
2·3 days agoI want a license that forces moneymakers to have to pay. In absence thereof, AGPL and GPL FTW.

mpv(usesyt-dlpin the background) work well for me 🤷
Is BSD moving to Rust and can one contribute with something else than a mailing list?
71·4 days ago@veilidnetwork@hackers.town I just watched the presentation on veilid and my question still stands: why rebuild TOR and IPFS?
Also, as someone pointed out in the comments on the video as well as here, you say
Stop being dependent on corporate systems
yet you’re on discord and twitter. Why aren’t you eschewing those services? Discord can be replaced by matrix, signal (which also has groups), zulip, maybe even rocket chat! Gitlab is fine, but you could also be using radicle (granted, 2 years ago they weren’t anywhere close to their current functionality).
Yep, that’s exactly what’s happening here. And it just keeps happening. What’s weird is they explicitly mention TOR and IPFS, then go on to just re-implement it. There’s no mention of why.
Fuck dude, we need an alternative to the Linux Foundation that actually focuses on Linux itself, not every single project that somehow runs on Linux. The linux kernel is a pain to join as a newbie, it’s underfunded (2% of all the Linux Foundation’s funding goes to the Linux kernel), the development cycle and tooling is outdated, the major language © is a security risk, the maintainers are turning old and gray which brings with it the typical resistance against change, and so many other things.
I don’t know if a fork is needed with a new org surrounding it that focuses 100% on the kernel, or if something else has to happen, but the Linux foundation wasting money on shit like AI and endorsing Chromium sounds an awful lot like Mozilla. Mozilla lost its way a long time ago and the Linux Foundation might be going the same way too.
Check out the linux hardware database entries. Seems to be working fine.
Big Tech, also known as the Tech Giants or Tech Titans,[1] is a grouping of the largest IT companies in the world. The concept of Big Tech is similar to the grouping of dominant companies in other sectors
I don’t know what Gitlab is, but if you look at the “smaller big tech companies” list, Adobe is the smallest on there with 17 billion in revenue as of 2022, which is ~34x that of Gitlab today. It’s probably on the larger end of medium sized companies, but that’s very fluid.
Gitlab = Big Tech? Dude, you have got to be kidding me.
Financially, the year was also marked by record performance. We delivered over $245 billion in annual revenue, up 16 percent year-over-year, and over $109 billion in operating income, up 24 percent.
Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights:
- Total revenue of $579.9 million
Yeah, they can build on top of I2P. There’s no need to rewrite all that stuff. They could’ve written something that glues everything together and reuse the existing nodes instead of creating yet another network.
Also, I2P has implementations in Java (main implementation) and C++ (i2pd). A rust implementation would be great news.
Yeah, there are alternatives. Matrix, Zulip for chatting and the entire fediverse for forums and micro-blogging. But they chose big-tech corp #321 and big-tech corp #123 👍
At least they’re on Gitlab. I’ll give them that.
I don’t understand why they would rebuild TOR and IPFS. Why not build this into I2P or something?
Oof. Well, they have to make money somehow. And probably there were people abusing the site. It wouldn’t surprise me for example if many did not cache the subtitles but had them on demand for videos.
Don’t worry, COSMIC will make (or probably already has made) one too.
