Something like GDPR and Digital Markets Act is easier to pass in Europe because it hurts big US tech companies most. In more controversial areas the EU is much less effective.

To me it always seemed like Linus Torvalds is mostly a pragmatist.

Richard M Stallman on the other hand…

None of these things are wrong. Work on your issues in the present, not the ones in the past.

Try wearing a watch

Both could be good if they were more strictly organized into communities or servers and the “all” feeds would lose importance… but unfortunately we are all just a bunch of shitposters and not the intellectuals we pretend to be

The equator doesn’t have strong wind though? And what does that map of ocean currents have to do with that?

What about unromantic relationships? Do you have a best friend?

I think even then, the actual important issues get drowned if everyone gets out their guillotine on every bait headline.

Always assume good intentions first

When you reverse, the mirrors tilt to the ground so you can’t use them to back up. That’s to force you to use the image from the rear camera on the screen.

What. Isn’t it just tilting down the mirror on one side so you can see the curb when parking, like other cars do?

For context, do you use Linux or have you contributed to open source?

I don’t get your point at all. I know that you do not say that, but you don’t even have any counter argument.

I don’t get what you try to say with your last paragraph. It sounds like you are worried that the poor 97% of Windows and Mac users are losing something because Linux is rising. Which makes absolutely no sense.

I believe many open source projects that are used by large corporations find a way to make money with that, at least by offering support or consulting or with sponsorships.

There are volunteer projects of which the developer doesn’t profit of but are used by corporations but I doubt they are the “largest” transfer as written in the post.

Dude you got that info from a TikTok

So if I tell someone else to draw something, who gets the copyright?

If you are using Gnome stay with that first. You can try gnome extensions and gtk themes, there are lots of possibilities. Many of the things that people post for other window managers will not work on Gnome.

Then know your command line well https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line

Then try to automate things, such that e.g. you can open a QR code of your clipboard with a key binding. Or whatever cool things you want your computer to do.

If you like these things and you have a lot of time, try other window managers as well. Start with something that has a good example config and good resources online, I believe sway was pretty easy to get into for me.

I’m not sure whether it is a good idea for your mods, but in my Linux home folder I have a link to a folder of documents on my Windows drive that I want to be able to access from both.

It was a symbolic link first, but I made a bind mount now which is treated more like a normal folder.

Not just kids

Both are fine choices for a text editor. But for everything? Vim doesn’t even have a web browser and a psychotherapist built in, smh absolutely unusable
