I'm on this thing since autumn 1999. Being able to break out of the windows hellscape was such an unbelievable breath of fresh air back then. And it continued to be for a very long time.
Seeing what they're doing to my beloved computering backyard garden, invokes a feeling of somebody setting my secret lair of comfort on fire.

      2 days of running as a daily driver has been smooth as silk. I fixed the touchpad issue on my thinkpad and getting a linux VM setup for my web dev build and deploys was way easier than FreeBSD.

      I am absolutely loving this operating system. it's solid, doesn't eat resources, and is simply a joy to use. I'm now seriously considering nuking my nixos partition and just putting debian or bazzite on it for only gaming.

                                Not only that, but over Type-C it drives my monitor at 120 Hz, whereas over HDMI it's limited to 60 Hz. I had no idea!

Computing takes you back to the late 90s when everything was new and interesting. Leaving Microsoft made me fall in love with Computers again.

                                            Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!

                                            Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.

                                            We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.

                                            How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

                                                      After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds".

                                                      A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word.

                                                      If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service.

                                                      When they see a community-run open-source project or a grassroots initiative, their first instinct is that it must be shady, illegal, complicated, broken or predatory in some way. It's probably some aftermarket grey area bootleg made by weird tech nerds, political groups with an ulterior motive, conspiracy theorists or some naive teenage hackers. They'd also be embarrassed for using it in front of their peers and neighbours; who uses some free back-alley software, are you poor or something?

                                                      The same people are the reason why Google is using the word 'sideloading', why scammers love wearing fancy suits, why people suddenly act childishly helpless in front of LibreOffice, or why DIY HRT is so demonised.

                                                      They trust any kind of 'official approval' over their own senses. If someone does something that isn't 'approved', they're a bad person or clearly endangering themselves and others. No idea why exactly, but psh, it must be wrong somehow, or everyone would do it, right?

                                                      If people on the Fediverse understood that the whole "it's all so complicated and clunky" thing is just a thinly veiled excuse for a general disdain for non-commercial software, we could finally stop making all our software imitate their corporate equivalents in a futile attempt to appease people who never gave us a chance in the first place.

                                                      You'll never convince them to treat it in good faith no matter how much effort or money you put into UX or 'ease of use'. All you're doing is making the software worse, e. g. through things like dot-social, verified accounts or begging brands, corporations and politicians to join and give your product some kind of 'official' validation.

Penguin: "Morning, slept well?"

Girl: "mhmhmhm"

Penguin: "What's today?"

Girl checks her school schedule. It's Monday, morning class - history.

Girl: "History.

Penguin, unenthusiased: "Sounds exciting."

Fish: "I wanted to call this class mythology, but Purple said history suggests that some of it might actually be true. Nobody remembers how long ago, but as you know, the world ended. While the inheritors of the ravaged land learned to adapt to their predicament, three brothers, successors of those who brought about the end, set out into the destroyed world to ruin it some more."

"Nothing to eat, nothing to drink. So now what?"

"I think it's time to do what our great great great grandparents spoke of - Go outside and restart civilization."

Fish: "You're going to have to help us play the third brother."

Girl, ecstatic: "School trip!"

Time for my OS opinion that's guaranteed to be unpopular with someone...
Sun Solaris used to be the OS that required overpriced proprietary hardware and still couldn't compete with Linux. That OS is now MacOS.
MacOS used to be the colorful and friendly walled garden OS that your non-techie parents would enjoy but was completely useless to you as a power user. That OS is now Windows.
Windows used to be the OS that could run a lot of apps, but was a headache to setup and maintain correctly and would sometimes blow up for no reason. That OS is now Linux.
Linux used to be the techie and developer oriented command-line OS that was lacking in desktop apps and might not support your hardware, but once you got it going, was rock solid and had no limits. That OS is now FreeBSD.

                                                                                This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

                                                                                In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

                                                                                I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

                                                                                I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

                                                                                  decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/run

                                                                                  And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.

                                                                                  Good luck!
