Paying a bunch of marketing people to fly around the world attending conferences that only they go to, to talk about more conferences they’ll be hosting for the same purpose.

‘Corporate Operations’ gets double the budget of the Kernel itself.

Some people are living very well doing absolutely nothing.

If I had to guess, it’ll be released as part of the Steam Machine SteamOS update?

I’ve had more drama getting clean Windows ISOs to install on modern Thinkpads than I’ve ever had issues with Linux.

afaik, it just looks prettier and gets Cinnamon sooner if you use that.

It still has all the normal debian quirks.

ie. “The Gnome Way”* exported to the OS as a whole.

* Strip all features but allow them back as plugins that aren’t supported or secured.

That’s the neat part - You don’t! (unless you want incredibly long update times as every new util is a new overlay!)

The “systemd devs” are anyone with the cashe to contribute to it.

Not really, unless you’re employed by one of the big tech companies contributing to it, your pull requests are piped directly to the shredder, same with xorg, gnome, etc.

You can fork them, but why bother when it’s a mess designed to ensure the employment of its contributors, ‘WallyWare’ if you will.

From the blog-

Pursuant to Section 7 of AGPLv3, the copyright holder is expressly entitled to impose additional conditions. In the case of ONLYOFFICE, such conditions include, in particular:

• the obligation to retain the original product logo (Section 7(b));

• the denial of any rights to use the copyright holder’s trademarks (Section 7(e)).

Such additions to the License were implemented on May 25, 2021, and can be found at line 655 of the License.

ie. You’re not allowed to rebrand the software as something else and additionally, not allowed to use their trademarks without their consent - they’re trying to turn something agpl into ‘shared source’ proprietary software.

Never heard of OnlyOffice before, will never ever be using it now.

Dremel is probably a bit overboard, a utility knife will do it. But you’re right, there can be required modification (or just using a 1x to 16x riser for ~$2 from AliExpress)

RasPi isn’t actually very efficient for what it is.

As otherwise mentioned a 16x/8x/4x card can be used in a 1x slot.

Any 1x physical GPU will be extremely overpriced for what it is as they’re incredibly niche products.

ipv6 still sucks.

Real solution to ipv4 problem- ipv4 but we add another triplet.

I’d thoroughly erased it’s existence from my mind it seems. It’s the reason I went back upstream to Debian many moons ago.

I assume 6.6.6 will be the LTS release?

They do it all the time, but then ‘balance’ it with something terrible. (these aren’t in chronological order)

• Upstart - good idea.

• PulseAudio wayyyy too early - bad idea.

• Unity - good idea

• Mir (display server) - bad idea

Third time’s a charm for Vyatta/eBox?

I don’t see any paid support subscriptions yet, so maybe it’ll work this time.

I’ve often described Europe as being the ‘other end of the internet’ since from Australia it’s often routed over the Pacific to US(via Hawaii and either Guam or New Zealand), over the US, then over the Atlantic.

tu.berlin is 316ms away.

JamesDSP is nice too.
