This sounds a lot like every framework, 20 years ago you could have written that about rails.

Which IMO makes sense because if code isn’t solving anything interesting then you can dynamically generate it relatively easily, and it’s easy to get demos up and running, but neither can help you solve interesting problems.

Which isn’t to say it won’t have a major impact on software for decades, especially low-effort apps.

I sometimes wonder if Qmail had had a clear license, if Gmail would have destroyed the self-hosted mail ecosystem so thoroughly.

I think a lot of engineers underestimate the amount of non-technical effort that goes into running platforms with users.

It’s a shame I think there are some really interesting problems that a less profit driven dating app but currently anything without a big marketing budget isn’t going to have the userbase to support it.

Sounds like stuff Stalman wrote about 45 years ago, are windows users really that far behind?

This has been true for a long time, CPU sockets don’t last long enough to make upgrades worth it, unless you are constantly upgrading. Whenever i’ve built a “futureproof” desktop with a mid-high end GPU, by the time I hit performance problems I needed a new motherboard to fit the new CPU anyway. Only really upgradable components are storage and ram, but you can do that in your laptop too.

The main advantage of Desktops is still that you get much more performance for your money and can decide where it goes if you build it yourself.

Modular computing always seems to fall victim to Moore’s law/similar, everything core get so much better every 5 years, that by the time you want to refresh anything, it’s usually time to upgrade the whole thing.

Periferals are nice but USB is already a multivendor connector standard and if the choice is 3d printing cases or trusting a vendor to exist in 10 years I’m betting on 3d printers for now.

Hope I’m wrong but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen a project like this.

At the end of the day the n900 was the ultimate portable Linux machine, but it died because within 10 years you could do all of that on an android device AND have a decent phone too.

SpaceX isn’t public so 9-5s will just buy TSLA instead.

Also thanks too Moore’s “Law”, pretty much anything launched will have 1/2 the processing power of something on the ground of equivalent size every 2 years.

Part of the success of cloud hosting is that thanks to Moore’s law companies were hesitant to buy hardware only to have it quickly become outdated*.

*cloud servers are actually pretty expensive so it really didn’t work out like this, but by the time that was obvious, the advantage of cloud was you had support for aaS Software built in (e.g Database, load balancing, caching, etc), and downstream of that is the death of open source vendors being able to get by selling support, but I’m sure that won’t have any negative effects 🙄.

Not a space expert but in v1.5 isn’t the center of mass being unaligned with the center of drag going to cause issues over time?

Lol, either these won’t be able to cool themselves or they will pump out heat straight into the upper atmosphere, which seems like a bad idea (I honestly don’t know enough but I suspect we simply don’t have the data to know what long term negative effects it will have)

Also just like Starlink this is a really dumb way to solve any problem other than how to inflate SpaceX valuations.

Now the lie that Starlink is resistant to censorship has been exposed twice (Ukraine & Iran), this is just the test Elon Grift.

Good

Start on any standard distro do a net install or equivalent and pick a different DE, I’d recommend Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian/Suse, but YMMV

It supports sharing your clipboard from mobile to desktop you just need to select the click click share & then click on your desktop.

You can just admit you don’t understand the joke or security.

It’s a joke because AI tells people to kill themselves, so presumably an AI talking to businesses will talk them into shutting themselves down.

And as Mamdani is a socialist, he presumably wants private businesses to shutdown (and be replaced by cooperatives)

I’m in, anything with less Tankies and less channers is good.

What’s the best instance to use, I assume I can keep my current user and just view posts via piefed.social

Krita is what I use but I also find text handling difficult so I always do text last.

I dunno I’m in favor of telling businesses to shut themselves down.

None, if it’s not in a Debian repo I don’t deploy it on my stable server.

It’s not really about docker itself, I just don’t think software has married enough if it’s not packaged properly

I use Debian
