That’s the theory…I usually have to first replace some packages that have been removed / renamed then homemanager is acting up because some stuff now is called differently. And every time it just shows me the one error that failed…

I usually use the pacman repo and if it’s not in there decide for this specific app if I use the AUR or flatpak version

If you want to make a point…present a real source not a vague hint to google.
What is the issue? Do you mean NPC predators in games? Probably should be 18+ rated then…

If you mean multiplayer…no age bucket check will prevent predators on the servers…

There is such thing as parental responsibility, if someone just lets their child consume higher rated media online without any discurse its a parental failure.

What is next? Does the blueray player need to verify with photoID that everyone in the room is older than the movies rating?

There are laws that make cism illegal in pretty every country. And most countries and companies are pretty quick with takedown requests. So why do we need age verification? CISM is illegal for everyone

Now for other stuff that is legally age gated in one country, but it is hosted in another country which has another legal age limit. Which one counts now?

Does the lawmakers have the reverse law in place, that when a page requests the age bucket, even if there is no legal requirement, does the pagebget fined as well? Otherwise it just leads again to the “cookie banner issue”.

That is a completely different premise. A) putting “Catholic church” and “protect children” in the same sentence is already a bold move B) if I place my child in the boy scouts I do have some expectations on them to protect the child, correct. But that’s not the all or nothing situation you mentioned in your example

My point is the same as with DNS Blocking: It is proposed under the umbrella of “think about the kids”, but it doesn’t work for what they propose it and it is a first step in creating the base of a censorship infrastructure. The govements (and by that I mean all of them not just the US) should hold the platform’s accountable for shit they mess up now and don’t accept “Sorry we can’t do that at scale” as an answer. Google and meta should act much harder on reports by the community. interestingly, they CAN act fast and hard for copyright stuff or other things which would reduce their earnings. As long as the governments won’t act based on existing measures, I can’t take any new ones serious

No, absoluetly not. Because the whole thing is notnto protect the children, but to gather more data.

That’s the false premise…if we just buy the one which isn’t enshittified to hell, there’s less and less options for “enthusiasts” and secondly, most users are fucked, because they just need something that works.

The only way to prevent keep the devices open is via regulatory oversight, forcing politicians to see the relevance of open platform / devices and create rules accordingly. And even that is a massive uphill battle…

Munin (https://munin-monitoring.org/) It’s not very pretty but quite easy to setup and doesn’t eat so much resources as a Prometheus/grafana setup

Also, it always tries to open the office files within teams instead of the actual office application. The features are worse and everytime you receive a chat and want to check it, teams closes your file…great productivity

I’m running endevourOS with KDM and there are some major issues with bluetooth…I can’t get some devices to connect (e.g my keychrone Keyboard, and Cricut plotter)

I still have to disable my wireless mouse, when I hibernate, because I couldn’t be bothered to adapt the udev rules to disallow the mouse to trigger the pc to start

And finaly, I just got back into X4 Foundation and my HOTAS setup depends on which device is recognized first…either its correct, or the controls are swapped (stuff that should be on the joystick is on the thrustmaster and vice versa)…un- and replugging in the correct order fixes this, but one wod think that it would lock the controls to a fixed device identifier

Important to know: the local copy is read only…so you can’t modify existing or create new entries if you aren’t connected to the server

Also what a lot of people don’t see ist, that as a company if you are looking for employees, there are a lot of potential workers with adobe experience, much less with affinity (although growing). Not sure how kany you find with professional FOSS tool experience.

So you do have major onboarding costs for each new employee who has to relearn their workflows

Ohh you are in for a treat 🫠

Did you get it to run? I tried it for about a day or so, and only got it kind of working

I tend to disagree, I do have several devices running Linux and with all of them I had issues after install (standby not working, swap partition not recognized, sound only playing on half of the speakers, issues with monitor scaling etc…) Im fine with it and like the journey, but there are still quirks.

Probably Im in an in-between-world where I do have some tricky use-cases, but missing the full know-how to do it…

thing which makes it not normy-usable, are the documentations: for windows issues you can find DAU-conform guides to solve something. Mostly on “official” (with probably too many ads) pages.

For Linux it’s usually a rabbit hole of official documentations (which dont show all the options), forums, reddit pages, where some guy tells another guy to add xyz to the config file…without telling which file and where in the file. Why is this command not listed in the documentation? What does that command actually do?

It has gotten much better, but there’s still some way to go

Unfortunately, the availability of “one time purchase” is not a guarantee anymore as more and more devs have killed existing versions sold with perpetual licences.

What helps a lot for apps with multiple config files:

• if you tell the user to “add code xy to the config file” : tell me which file. is it the main config file? the one of the reverse proxy etc.?
• provide a sensible example library of the config structure. For example: duting the implementation of an importer for beancount I was struggling with what goes where. The example structure was really, really helpful.
• also, if you have configurations which allow different options: TELL ME THE OPTIONS! If I get an error during startup, that for config.foo the value “bar” is not allowed, I need a list of options somehwere, so many hours lost to find out what I can write to config.foo

Also, some tools have plugins to provide vim controls for them.

I know at least and use these:

• SublimeText (https://github.com/NeoVintageous/NeoVintageous)
• Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff)

There are probably more…

For me, it’s hardware support, i.e my laptops fingerprint sensor just isn’t supported, for the speakers to work I had to find a script that remapped the speakers, multiple desktops (especially with different resolutions) are a pain.

But the killer at the moment is a good solution to manage and post process my raw photos. Went from Lightroom to On1 Photo RAW…unfortunately DarkTable is still not there yet. Also still missing the affinity suite on Linux :-(

Also, sadly these tools also don’t run well in a VM

Same here, just stumbled across this issue yesterday when I tried to restructure my network to use .local
