@npub15gs…9ep4 I bet that Thinkpad still works!

"This is my cab. There are many like it, but this one is mine." It's not perfect but it works very well for its use case. It's robust, redundant, defensible, and best of all runs 100% GNU/Linux.

@npub1gzd…wfsq Can you elaborate please? I can definitely see this in the creative professional field, for example.

I wonder if generative AI will cause a real drop in motivation for organic human creativity.. "I'll just have AI make it for me."

Someone has to say it: Replacing the default web browser right-click menu with "features" of your little web app should be a crime punishable by up to 1 year without access to a computing device.

@npub1zaw…tdg8 To be fair, you did compare a Linux house to a "modern" house with soft-closing drawers, prompting that there's a difference or that Linux lacks these types of features.
On that note, I hear there's a project to bring Compiz to Wayland ;)

@npub1zaw…tdg8 Interesting take, especially coming from someone with your background.
Following your context, I'd personally compare the Linux desktop to a house you own, as opposed to one you rent with other, proprietary OSes (which I'm assuming you're equating to the "modern house").
If the floor boards now squeak, the back door doesn't latch anymore and the toilet lever is broken, sounds like a lazy and/or inexperienced homeowner, rather than the design or quality of the house itself.

Filesystem permissions have always been one of my favorite sysadmin things.
So naturally my next article is, "How to Use Filesystem ACLs (Access Control Lists) on Linux". 😎
It'll be published on Friday! I'll link to it when it goes live.

One of the first file managers I used for Linux was Midnight Commander. It was introduced to me by a good friend who was helping me learn the ropes early on. Over the years I've grown to appreciate its longevity and feature set. It's an incredible and versatile terminal based file manager that's just as important to me as vim and screen.

@npub1zaw…tdg8 That reminds me of the EEE-PCs (of which I still have one!), very nice. I've been drooling over the Clockwork uConsole cyberdeck lately. The keys are much different but maybe different enough to find some neat use cases. And obviously a USB/BT keyboard isn't out of the question here.

@npub1h4m…f22a I've seen cases where basically HDCP barfs all over itself and will refuse to either display something or play sound until you reconnect and let it renegotiate all the fun copy protection bullsh*t. But that was many years ago, I'd think stuff like this would have been ironed out by now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@npub1xwc…ze8u Maybe I'm not understanding your point correctly, if so I apologize. "Meddling" in the second point is simply removing what we've already spewed into the atmosphere with unnatural processes, right? I don't necessarily see how that can be a bad thing overall. Surely you're not proposing we disregard the notion of #CDR.
"Understood and fixed" - yes, I agree. We need to learn, understand and respect the intricacies of our relationship with our host planet as a whole species.

Governments seem to be on the track of criminalizing strong #encryption "for the children".
Technologists of the world need to unite and put pressure on governments to not continue this route of public persuasion. It's naive and dangerous for everybody. There are better ways to protect children than circumventing encryption that protects us all from bad actors.

I think it's strange that #Threads is even a thing. What is it other than a #Twitter clone? Is there any real purpose behind its presence? Any unique offering that can't be found somewhere else?
