But surely this petition with nearly 400 signatures will convince them there’s a business case for supporting Linux!

This sums up my opinion of the new Assassins Creed. It’s a beautiful world but half the time I can’t actually see anything because I’m either blinded by sunlight or shaded by darkness.

Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.

“Mirror, signal, manoeuvre” is what we’re taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you’re acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.

Basically you only signal after you’ve confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.

The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That’s not how it’s meant to work.

What you’re describing aren’t issues with Wayland.

Your complaints are that you’re using old versions and poorly designed software.

Those aren’t Wayland issues they’re poor management and lack of investment

And it sounds like somebody on the kernel team reverse engineered the internals of bit keeper so they would have a clear understanding of precisely how it worked - but more importantly the ways that it didn’t suit their workflow

That’s not semantic versioning…

It could be implemented the same as most email clients do. A simple message “load external content” with an option to always load.

Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/

What do you do differently? I’ve been on Bluefin for 2 years but still never bothered with dev containers or anything

SSHFS is pretty simple to use.

Just mount the media directory of the PI as a directory on the NAS. Then the Jellyfin instance on the NAS basically treats it as a local directory.

I’ve done it with Plex in the past, no reason it wouldn’t also work for Jellyfin

Again, I’m not saying Linux is bad or even at fault for these issues, but these issues exist and I it’s valid that some people don’t wanna deal with it.

You don’t know that these things issues exist because you’ve never tried it.

You even admit at times you’re too lazy to even set these things up.

If you have a highly customised setup you need to accept some responsibility for it and not expect others to test it for you.

It’s hardly diminishing your anonymity. There are plenty of services to create an anonymous email account.

Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947, more commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov.

It’s the world’s most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood, it doesn’t break, jam, or overheat. It will shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with sand.

It’s so easy even a child can use it, and they do.

The Soviets put the gun on a coin, Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people’s greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure; no one was lining up to buy their cars.

Didn’t even need remote version control. All it required was essential files version controlled in the local folder.

I think they opted not to make any cuts to NASA. It would be a conflict of interest if they did. In the sense that Elon Musk wants them to keep giving spacex lucrative contracts and they can’t do that if they don’t have piles of money

The thrill of flying a 747 in flight simulator quickly wears off when you realise large planes are really fucking dull.

After takeoff you turn on autopilot and there’s fuck all to do for the next few hours apart from occasionally twisting the heading knob, or setting up the ILS approach for the landing.

It may actually liven the experience up if you have to deal with passenger complaints when you mistakenly over prescribe alcohol. You need to give the passengers enough to get them lethargic but not so much they reach the angry or depressed stage.

To me that suggests your view is in the minority.

There was a discussion about “ghost communities” a few days ago:

https://feddit.uk/post/24499702

People are quick to create communities but they sit unused, attract few posts and fewer subscribers. Often the mods move on so even if new posts were to appear they’d be unmoderated.

The simple reason for that is there isn’t enough demand. Lemmy is still small it’s too early to be spinning out ever more narrowed niche communities. If you think content belongs elsewhere then report it to the mods and let them decide. If they see a surge in unwanted Q&A topics then they can amend posting guidelines to direct people elsewhere or to a Q&A thread or something.
