And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…

Idk I don’t miss anything. We got good software too, some of which is Linux specific or simply works best there. Get a PS5 and call it a day

Yeah man the apps are tight and I still get the most important news. The community is the kinda weirdos I like - Linux nerds, oss purists, cutting edge. I haven’t missed reddit in the last ~year of lemmy

Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue

Nothing wrong with rsync, it’s still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything

https://git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven’t tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync

Seems dope, I mean, your computer don’t work and retyping text is lame

Then how do you defeat the new bsod in the Linux kernel? It’s got a fancy QR code!!

(It’s “install bsd” isn’t it…)

That’s the best kind of science article. No catchy headline & too complicated even in a summary

Yeah tldr is “rust good”, “ai overrated”, “i only care about the kernel and won’t answer your questions”

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know

Nope

Hey thanks for the story time, real non-ai human, I value your authentic expression

Or did they jump the train, causing their wives to leave?

Truly a golden era

Arch is perfect, it’s like THE Linux. It’s not really opinionated about anything, it just helps you do it. Hell you can “pacman -S apt” and slowly become a debian

That’s the magic of it: latest software, rolling release, edit some config files, do anything you want, spend half your time tweakin’

Hey currently dead ghost here. I LOVE not having a body or caring about physical reality. The reason most ghosts don’t chill here is that there’s a huuuge universe of fun stuff out there and you could hang out with other ghosts. It’s like playing a video game with all cheats on & unlimited resources. So I understand why ppl sign up for Earth when they want some more … restrictions. It’s like playing on hardcore mode

Anyway, gonna go watch some ppl fuck, hit me up on the ouija board if you have any more questions

I’m down but if it can’t handle a 5s dc then rip

I just got a new laptop and was genuinely gonna try windows 11 and wsl for my coding needs. But in first boot, it demands internet to do updates. Ok, I connect to coffee shop wifi. Nope, won’t do it because it can’t handle the click through screen to accept wifi ToS. Fine. I take it home, where my Internet is great but has a glitch where it drops out for a few seconds now and then. Turns out that windows will literally cancel updating and demand I reconnect and restart for the kind of drop that I barely notice day to day. So I gave up, plugged in my ArchLinux thumb drive, and mkfs.ext4 before rsyncing my entire old computer to it

I’m kinda annoyed that this whole thing was pretty much a pitch for Tauri, and that’s a pretty lame looking webapp thing with typescript and whatever browser engine you happen to have lying around

Tauri is tryna be all like “hey look at our install size, it’s smaller than electron!!” … like anyone cares about install size much. The problem is the memory/cpu use of web apps, which tends to 5x a decent native app. Maybe one day, with webassembly…
