     @Elliptica The guy’s spent a significant portion of his life in the scene without realizing “Free” doesn’t refer to the price, but the rights. Very diff. meaning.

     And they need to hammer on all these faggot companies for not pulling their weight in funding. IIRC Apple is in the illustrious $5/year donor tier to BSD

     @nugger all that time and he never realized “free” refers to the kind of copyright, not the cost.

     WOW. Autist moment

     @sparky I think a lot of these are subversion ops like that mom who was a “pastor” and immediately blew up her marriage and got on onlyfans. The timeline was real suspect, and they grabbed her out of total obscurity to push as front page news everywhere

     @Twoinchdestroya @verita84 I’ve actually asked that as a convo starter of pretty much every trad/religious guy I’ve ever worked and hung out with. It shocked me how many said “yeah totally!”

     We’re very gullible. I think guys don’t look forward 20 years to think about the ramifications of a whore raising their kids, because it’s gonna introduce friction when she says “oh I partied and lived it up, look how I turned out! Let her live a little!”

     Also most are hopelessly addicted to porn, and imagine female sexuality is the same, so a girl doing this kind of thing will end up engaging in enthusiastic, frequent sex to sate his addiction

     @Elliptica @WashedOutGundamPilot I dunno, man. I installed Pop!OS on a laptop this weekend and every piece of hardware "just worked", whereas this Windows 10 install I'm running on my work computer has somehow forgotten how to display image previews in Explorer after the last (forced) midnight update.

     @caekislove @Elliptica We were just talking about that one, someone said his POP won’t let him drag files into other applications, so he always has to go through the file tree.

     There’s always some odd niggles, they show up when you do more things. I have one comp running it and I’ve just left the audio channel on wired now, because changing the output blows the speakers with max-output glitchy static for some reason. Also doing screengrabs over 3 hrs ends up making a file that can’t be opened, everything freezes and shuts down.

     But the more you work with it the better you can get it. After a while it ends up more stable than windows, in any case. Though the pop app store uses up a TON of Ram. Last I looked mine was using 1.2gb just being idle and open. They said they’re fixing it though.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Sure, but it's still not sustainable. The biggest issue is that there are too many projects that don't work together. Looking at OS's alone, pretty much everything works within windows, and possible Mac (a bit more hit or miss that windows, but not by much). Linux struggles to even continue support for software and hardware from 6 years ago, let alone maintaining or implementing more advanced features that most commercial OS's have along side legacy support.

     @caekislove @WashedOutGundamPilot I had more luck with Pop! than most.
     
     A bit of a story, but a while ago I bought a used Lenovo Thinkpad 2in1 laptop. The windows license was messing with me, so I tried linux. Most use to mint distro, and even though it once supported the tablet screen, it stopped. Pop was better about it, but there were other issues with the hardware. If I wanted to use all of the features of the tablet easily, I had to go back to windows. So it's better in some ways (such as not having to install wifi card drivers), it's not perfect.

     @Elliptica @caekislove Pop’s the one I recommend to normies, unless they need something really lightweight for an old computer at least. I did a distro thread a while back and rotated through trying a bunch of them, lots of good ideas there.

     @caekislove @Elliptica I DO want a walled garden though, having to ‘sudo’ your way to get tiny little things like a status monitor toolbar and a colored battery indicator is just gay. If you give that to most normies you’re just cursing your brothers to everlasting tech support duty!

     @Elliptica @WashedOutGundamPilot Games are the only thing keeping one foot in the Windows world for me and Proton gets better every day, so when they finally force the 11 upgrade I'll probably just say bye to MS. If that means researching linux compatibility before buying hardware in the future then oh well.

     @deprecated_ii @nugger It doesn’t make any sense, but that’s written on the front of the box. This guy sounds like the retards whining about how many hours they put in volunteering for air ambulance. Can’t act surprised when they had to sign on a waiting list to perform 12 hour shifts pro-bono!

     Once the boomers go it’ll just be super autists chasing their niche crap, and AI probably shitting up the field with garbage code. I just don’t see the fervor there among anyone but old nerds

     @deprecated_ii @WashedOutGundamPilot @nugger Because up until now there was a autist to FOSS pipeline for most of the people working there were doing it not because they wanted to help people, but because they wanted to fix shit that was broken that pissed them off.

     Unfortunately, most of those men now end up trooning out of working for Google or Twitter.

     @deprecated_ii @WashedOutGundamPilot @nugger This is why the only open source communities worth being in are either backed by a corporation (or multiple corporations) which will be super gay/not really a community/not truly open source, or done entirely for fun without any expectations or promises for long term support.

     @nugger @WashedOutGundamPilot Yeah, right. Writing a good library is conservatively 10x the work of writing just the bits of software you need "for fun" and then there's the expectation that you'll support it for years or decades. Fun.

     I gave up FOSS over a decade ago- before it was all about identity politics. It was miserable, and at one point I was actually given a minor "grant" from an upstream project so I could afford the rather hefty downloads.
     
     I've never worked harder for less pay until I directly went into business for myself.

     I have no idea where you got this idea. There are plenty of younger people working at a very low level and pursuing high performance, robustly engineered code. The relevant information is far more accessible now than it was 10 years ago, let alone 30. That slice of humanity will nevertheless remain *very small* because *very few* people have the mental horsepower for the work.
     
     So much hardware control being concentrated in the hands of like three megacorps is the big problem, not lack of interest by people under 50. Nerds are not predominantly hacking away on 40 year old hardware because that's all they want to do, it's because the newer stuff is almost completely unapproachable.

     @MischievousuTomatosu @Elliptica @WashedOutGundamPilot Apple probably hired some BSD guys to work on their own kernel, but Apple doesn't contribute to the FreeBSD project. FreeBSD gets more money and labor from Netflix, which uses it for some of their appliances.
