@abosio Aha I thought about something crazier but similar to avoid the boring ET and the penalties at the World Cup: if the game is drawn after 90 minutes, you can make whatever changes you want to the lineup, to have the most fresh players if you want, before starting ET. Then if the game is still tied after 120 minutes, both teams are eliminated 🤪

@codemonkeymike
1- Installing it is difficult and scary
2- You can't just "install Linux" - there are choices to be made (distro, SE) that you don't even know how to make
3- It's harder to find the software you're used to, and know how to install it
1- and 2- can be mitigated by using LiveCD to try things, installing it on that old computer that we all have lying around, and just going with default Ubuntu. 3- takes a lot of getting used to.

And it did appear on my RSS feed, finally confirming that this actually works

I wrote a status update! https://kevinguillaumond.com/en/2024/04/status-update-april-2024/ There's no guarantee that there'll ever be another one, but it's nice to have been able to spend some time writing #opensource code this month :)

@Marv Ohhh I just assumed it wasn't possible!

I dusted off the computer I got in university. It had a dual boot: #windows 7 and #ubuntu 12.04! Unfortunately could not remember any of the passwords

@julianfairfax @zeroday @agx @deedend @devrtz @purism I thought Signal didn't like 3rd party apps connecting to their servers? Has that changed or will they eventually prevent Flare from reaching them? I'm planning to daily drive my Librem 5 and that's my biggest concern at the moment

Hello from my #Librem5 docked to my new #Nexdock360! I really feel like I'm living in the future here.

@kyle I'm on Mastodon too! Mostly reading for now.. It was great talking to you :)

I received my #Librem5 today! Ordered in July 2019. Exciting times!

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org Bon courage :)

@brainblasted Real question: why are the flathub versions better?

@toddsundsted @kyle In my view, software engineering isn't writing code, it's translating business requirements into something a computer can understand. It's just that we currently use code to achieve that. Maybe our natural path forward will eventually make us "robot psychologists", as in Asimov's Foundation

@protonmail Thanks for doing the right thing!

@tbernard Confluence...

@dusnm And people who don't have a data plan. I visited NYC recently and ran into that problem several times.

@romanmutin nitter.net, eble? https://nitter.net/about

@craftyguy !!! good point. I'll double-check that; maybe I gave up too early there.

@craftyguy git repo checked out in a subfolder like ~/.dotfiles + custom script to create/update the right symlinks? That's what I'm working towards. I tried making the home folder itself the git repo (as explained in https://drewdevault.com/2019/12/30/dotfiles.html for example) but it doesn't really work because ~/.gitignore is picked up by every other git repo anywhere under ~/

@BrodieOnLinux It's a bit like looking at Mozilla isn't it 🙁
