@fluor There are different motives, but for many, the idea is that many contribute to a collective that everyone can benefit of. With proprietary software, it's more and more the case that the consumer is seen as something that just has to be exploited for the benefit of the owner of the software. So, as long as there are people who believe, work for, and benefit from the collective work, there will be open source in some form.

@mattl Perhaps that's how they get you? You have to donate for AI slop, and then some more to make it stop again?

These honest error messages are just one of the reasons I enjoy using Linux so much.

@znoteer I see that often. When we held DebConf16 in Cape Town, it was election year, and many people were amused by all the "Vote EFF" posters on the sign posts.

Wow the Rhamaphosa / Trump meeting is off the rockers, insane that Trump played EFF clips of Malema in the White House, as insane as that house is, never expected that.

@fkamiah17 Wow and he's so mild mannered. Boycot NYU.

@Bubbles The people have spoken, lol.

@georgetakei Why are people so afraid to call it racism?

@danie10 I was going to write my exam on Saturday but have just been overwhelmed by work to study for it :(

@deadsuperhero @deutrino Where do I find this Bandwagon?

@foone Or even IP: 10.789265 port 8365

@cas Same reason why you're drinking it, the high caffeine content!

@purism How bizarre.

@phoronix I've been using GNOME 48 with Wayland on Debian testing and it's been solid. I think it is time.

How fucking petty must you be to deny funding to any university with any kind of DEI policy? Trump is trash and so is anyone who shows any support for him.

@fanf Correct, but the only downside is that it's easy to misread arm64 as amd64.

@jmtd @ttyS1 Nope, just plain GRUB. GRUB just needs less than 6MB so I thought I'd be fine. The problem is all the *huge* firmware updates that also need to fit there. UEFI is just such a huge mess on consumer hardware. On my ThinkPad, I tried to wireless netboot, but when I have WiFi enabled in my firmware setup, the keyboard doesn't work in the firmware setup program. At some point while trying to fix this I even somehow removed the BIOS setup program alltogether. Urgh!

@Diziet I had to sign up to Codeberg just to do this! But done PR sent.

"50MB of EFI should be enough for me"

Also me:

```
/boot/efi does not have sufficient space, required 45.1 MB, need additional 1.2 MB
```
