If your hardware ain’t working maybe there’s barrier to devs working on it caused by the designer/manufacture. Or we have not paid them enough for it to be worth their time?

I beseech you god of Irony, make it so Amazon workers can vote him out of office.

I have not used Ubuntu enough to say I have a bad experience with it. I know of Snap being effectively a proprietary store (a dumb feature) and Canonical has a bad reputation for being like the Microsoft of GNU+Linux.

Linux Mint offers the pros of Ubuntu but with the cons of like-Microsoft decision removed, why would I consider Ubuntu?

Furthermore you can mix GPL and AGPL licensed code, each part retaining their license. So you can include someone’s GPL code in a new AGPL project (or vice versa). It’s stated in the GPLv3 license under “Use with the GNU Affero General Public License”.

I’d like to know about that too.

I imagine you’re aware but GPL doesn’t directly prevent corps from using your code (just often done because their code is often propriety). They can use it legally as part of their own GPL licensed code or when they are offering software as a service (they don’t distribute the binary, it’s running on their server). In that case where your code could be running on a server then the AGPL would be preferable if giving software freedom to their users is part of your goals.

Tracked Steam games working on Linux Mint since I started > 4 years ago (from my final, successful attempt to stop using Windows).

[Edit: only loaded Sea of Thieves and then never played it because it required a M$ account - wish I asked for a refund]

Not passing judgement at this volunteering specifically but willingly doing something doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no problems. It could still be exploitative.

If you want to avoid this judgement (being a Linux user)

We’re here, we’re queer, Linux is top gear!

What games?

The users who wrote the content are going to get a share of the money, right Reddit? Riiight? /s

I think I should be able to get this working following your zprofile file. Thanks!

tmpfs (…) to build programs (…) to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes

Sounds useful. How did you setup the directory?

Running df tells me “tmpfs” is mounted on /run. If I build in that that directory then would it be stored in RAM, or do I need to do something else?

ls Volatile

Thanks. I briefly used Atom (on Win) but stopped as it was terribly slow to startup.

What is the software license for Zed? It’s Github page isn’t clear.

What’s that?

Windows is bad and immoral but I can’t say I hate it because I almost never use it. Most of the time Windows is just bad news in my feed which makes me anticipate friends asking beginner questions for their GNU+Linux install.

I stopped using Windows when it became clear it’s purpose is not to do what I want unless that happens to be what Microsoft wants. It was many things that all added up but I can only remember the last straw which broke the camel’s back. I was trying to get something to work and made an online account in desperation - then I struggled/failed to find a way to revert the change and make the user become an offline account again. Faced with a reinstall I couldn’t go through clicking “no, don’t fuck me” several times to reinstall Windows.

I’d like to watch but something makes me paralyzed when I anticipate the confrontation.

All we have are words or violence.

Is it possible to do work in a shed without using a drill?

It is good of you to do this work and post your findings, so no offense intended, but this command line meme is better off not being spread. The terminal is a tool and should be used when it’s needed and when is best. Time spent worrying about this is time that could be spent making it easier to understand.

I was introduced to the terminal by a friend so I don’t know of a good starting tutorial for newbies. I wasn’t interested until I saw you could use the output of one command as the input of another command using a “pipe” |
