that’s fucking scummy. he really hates mastodon admins having agency over their own servers

sadly, the web has become so complex and it changes so fast that it’s now almost impossible to keep up with the standard, so only google and mozilla are able to do it

thanks google!

as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don’t think it has much to do with low linux usage

1. lemmy isn’t very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances

2. unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn’t even see the survey anyway

i don’t know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I’m willing to bet both of these points apply

“this week in plasma: core plasma shell rewritten in typescript and electron”

this is supposed to be one of those “take that, racist prick” stories. these are pretty common

as someone recently diagnosed with adhd who used to have similar fears:

take the damn pills

systemd is a system daemon, not an init system

also, why should applications avoid depending on useful features?

i don’t know much about openrc, but doesn’t it use sysvinit? one of the major advantages of systemd is ditching sysvinit

he’s joking

at least this guy recognizes systemd isn’t (just) an init system

“it attempts to do more” yeah. that’s the point. that’s a good thing. a single source of truth for system background services. background systems used to be a fucking mess and then systemd fixed it. this is why it is the de facto pid 1

i wish people just quit whining

please do not use debian testing. it is not fit for production use and will give you headaches, especially when a new release starts approaching

vbox is easy. qemu is kinda frustrating to use sometimes, although virt-manager makes it a little easier
