Yeah, this is one of the things I found out the hard (ok, it was too easy to call it “hard”, but anyway) way.

Not particularly interested in opening YouTube though

+1 for using “You’re”

The future of it is no execute.

Aren’t you just providing them with free pseudo-random data, while reducing the randomness of your own system?

It is very possible that all store camera apps get an update from Google/Apple etc that bricks the phone or temporarily suspends functionality (also preventing phone locking) on glancing a specific QR code that will be given to all ICE operatives to wear somewhere on their uniform.

approximately 40 cm

Hmm, how approximate?

That’s not the probability they are looking for.

Now just need to add this as a Kernel module and ship the binary as the default for a distro.

Their basis seems to not be corporate actions, but the usability of software.
They would probably have been happy with Windows 7.

I would want to assume onlinepersona was joking, but maybe not.

BTW, in this case, being non-professional is referring to OOP telling the truth about his feelings.

Better than outlook, no?

There are also enough people in tech who don’t know about Open Source.

The percentage increases as you go away from the software domain

“Linux is bad”, because it doesn’t provide have data collection and transfer to shady corporations with large PR umbrellas, out of the box.

“native” apps tend to work a lot better when the system is under pressure

Well yeah, that’s pretty much a given.
I really hope recent lack of powerful computers drives up demand and willingness to make more native apps, but I’m not expecting anything.

I was told by an Electron user that the Framework itself isn’t bad.
It’s probably the types of users (framework users = application devs) that it attracts that are giving it a bad name.

But I won’t know much. I myself have only used QML for similar stuff.
And I have seen it to be pretty easy to make a mess out of.

So yeah, the same app dev might have made a shitty web-app instead. And I had heard of some Electron app that was actually good (forgot it though). Still not going to bother with them, though.

Considering that whenever I am gaming, the game is using all the VRAM it can, I’d rather not have more stuff be GPU accelerated. CPU cores are mostly freely available.

Since my tasks on the terminal are pretty basic, the runtime speeds don’t matter much.

In another use case, Kitty is much faster at startup than Konsole, most probably because of plugins, shared libraries, d-bus actions, etc. but then Kitty cannot beat st and its extra features are not particularly needed by me.

So yeah, perhaps if you can get st working in your setup, that might be a nice experience. Although that one would have other problems:

• I don’t know if it has tab theming. The tab functionality itself was a patch IIRC
• It makes an X11 window, so you will have to worry about XWayland issues

There might be some project trying to get a Wayland version of a st-like terminal emulator, which might work out for you.

The actual effects of the law are multi-staged, though.
Even if FOSS ends up managing to get this load off it, this still remains a scapegoat for Apple, Google and other players in this game, which enables them to collect as much extra data as they feel like.

Now I am thinking…
If a kit in California were to make a YouTube video using this OS and AG ends up not fining anyone for it, can that be used as a precedent?

Turns out I came here to say the same thing as everyone.

AppImages are not in the same competition.
They have different uses and you would mostly not find out how many people are using them due to their nature of being very useful offline.

Over here, people usually sell that level of stuff to some known parts dealer for pretty cheap.
I am just a hoarder who has kept my last few phones hoping to some day be able to use their high quality cameras with something else.
