re: linux question
@trash_cat They know how to update and maintain their computer?

I almost accidentally put an email with someone genuinely curious about one of my projects in my Junk Mail. I really wish spammers didnt make it reflex for me to skim subject lines. I wonder if Ive missed out on some wholesome emails from people.

@postmarketOS Laughed at the replay with @proycon . I think you can also find me saying we won't support wayland during our alpineconf presentation. Shoutout to @stacy for proving how easy it would be to support both X and Wayland!

@calebccff @postmarketOS Amazing work on this! Im considering picking up a oneplus 6.

I wrote a new blog post:
How and Why the Benefits of Mass Surveillence are Overestimated While the Costs are Undermined

@abloo I talked to @stacyharper on irc and she said it's doable! Cool idea =D

@abloo keyboard input from the onscreen keyboard? It should work as long as firefox is in focus. For convergence, it's a work in progress: https://todo.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-tickets/264

@craftyguy fair enough

Cheers to Luis Falcon (founder of gnu solidario and author of gnu health) for daily driving sxmo! I love the idea of gnu health and health care is truly one place where software freedom needs to be absolute. Glad to see a fellow free software activist find use in our project to further the expansion of software freedom!

No toolchain just regular linux sysadmining. I run it bare metal

@linear @yarmo

At this point, I put all my repos on sourcehut. If a project is on github, I will submit an issue but wont submit code unless it's a major issue for me.

Sourcehut is the ideal selfhosted solution if you dont want your users to be encumbered by making a new account:

Oh and I trust Drew to not do stuff like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27724008

Sourcehut doesnt require your users to have an account to submit issues or patches. All you have to do is have an email account and send an email.

https://sourcehut.org/

When compared to selfhosted gitlab/gitea/etc. it is ideal since it encourages decentralization while not having a cumbersome first time setup for selfhosted instances.

Oh, and it's 100% free software. No open core stuff.

re: opinion
@benjaminradio @hund Also, portage is amazing when it comes to giving good errors, telling you what useflags need to be changed, and general issue debugging.

re: opinion
@benjaminradio @hund By the way, on gentoo, you have profiles so most of the useflags would be set for you and your usecase. I found the default package settings to be very sane. The packages in gentoo are some of the best maintained packages.

Havent run into issues, I started using gentoo for the first time in January 2021.

@hund It's the battle of unsustainable tech. Do you think the flood of cheap computers from Windows 11 will outpace the demand created by cryptocurrencies?

Very cool article by Luis Falcon about the pinephone and what it means for mygnuhealth. Glad to see the pinephone is pushing other free software projects into new realms!
