It seems to be quite convenient that google flags immich.app site as dangerous, since immich is an environment in which you can host your own photographs in a safe manner without Google.

Why does #Linux require #mount points to exist?

And are there any circumstances where a mount can be done without a pre-existing mount point (i.e. a mount point appears out of thin air)?

Okay, friends: #Windows 11 or some flavor of #Linux for the gaming PC I’m building?

I had assumed Windows but MS’s recent actions have made me less eager to give them $140 for a license.

In Windows’ favor: more choice of games, compatibility with all the ARGB things.

In Linux’s favor: no MS bullshit.

A friend has recommended Pop OS. (Hi, not @-ing you here to not drag you into replies.) I think I could mostly live with it, except that openrgb doesn’t support my choices of mobo & GPU.

The birthplace of #Linux is #Finland, and 16% of its desktop users are from there. I don’t think so it is a coincidence.

the reason why you probably want to stop using the Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS supported release for your personal project is because of stuff they pull with "esm-apps". I think I will stick with Debian or FreeBSD and call it a day. #linux

@occult It doesn't sound silly. I was 77 when I started with #NetBSD and #OpenBSD after many, many years on #linux

A #linux application runs inside an LX-branded zone, where the #Illumos kernel (descended from #Solaris) natively implements the Linux kernel ABI. A #VPN connection, terminated in a separate Solaris-style zone, routes the application's traffic to a VPN endpoint on an #OpenBSD system running #Nginx, which serves #HTTPS content on a custom domain.

Well I guess one of the benefits of the #windows11 #upgrade is the mass availability of refurbished PCs. Why buy a new one when you can get a reasonably decent one dirt cheap? Perfect for #Linux and #FreeBSD.

#Windows11 so far seems like it's the best #marketing tool and product to encourage #people to switch to #Linux or #FreeBSD.

Not only is it great to see new people exploring these OSes, it's awesome to see them #discover #joy in using them.

I stumbled across this gem of an article yesterday about Microsoft's continued "excellent" QA track record. Great marketing indeed. 🤣

Me in October 2024: "Hmmm #Linux seems interesting, maybe I'll start learning it on a Raspberry Pi... and if I'm lucky enough in 5-10 years I can host my own Fediverse instance."

Me in October 2025: "No we can't fly back to Paris on October 25th. IT'S LINUX DAY in Italy! I need to attend events." I'm also self-hosting my own GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube and NextCloud (thanks to #YunoHost). And no I'm not bragging, I'm sharing my new addiction. Send help please 😅🤣

I've updated the Arch Install Guide and added a bootloader section with systemd-boot and GRUB as options.

The next update will be probably a disk encryption section.

Okay. So. I guarantee you that most Windows users—especially ones on Fedi—know how fucked up Windows has become. Bombarding them with "Install #Linux, we have cookies!" propaganda isn't going to send them rushing to download an image and flash it to a usb drive to install.

They know Windows is a nightmare, they want the nightmare to stop. But there are a lot of reasons stopping them from installing Linux.

One of the biggest ones is that even as Linux has gotten easier and easier to install, it's still a really big step for a lot of people. Maybe they only have one computer, and can't risk slagging it if they mess up. Maybe they don't even know where to start backing up their data. Google and the other search engines are returning AI slop, so they can't trust those to give them accurate and useful answers.

So instead of trying to convince them they want to switch, we need to help them find the resources necessary to do so if they decide they're ready. We need to be the opposite of all those fucking RTFM bros that made it hard when we first switched. We need to make sure they can find a helpful community to give them the support to feel safe in switching.

Because yeah, Windows fucking sucks. They know that, we know that. But breaking their computer so it works even less is fucking terrifying, and Linux has a fucking PR problem because the RTFM bros are the loudest members of our community.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced "Librephone," a new project aimed at achieving complete mobile phone freedom for users from Google and Apple. The initiative will work to reverse engineer obstacles until its goal of a fully free mobile phone environment is realized. Can they be successful where industry leaders like Ubuntu failed previously?
