nixosbestos

What, on Earth, do you mean? lmfao.

I'd prefer to not give JD Vance any reason to visit my neighbor.

Good thing it's just a username and the comment you replied to has literally nothing to do with NixOS. Also, I don't even use NixOS anymore so waaaah.

I'm all in favor of empathy and reducing pain. If only there was a single, SINGULAR fucking concrete, OR EVEN HAND WAVEY CRITICISM.

It's literally "lol linux suxors". Very actionable! /s

Sorry, some of us use it and are tired of this? Let alone contribute.

Sure I understand why you'd write "Everyone" on HN.

But no, some of us have had functional brains for a while. Thanks.

EDIT: to be fair, if you were even slighly more specific about the shit-eating morons that ate this illogical, stupid rhetoric, it would be too political and, at best, result in your comment getting clobbered so.... "everyone" it is. Can't make the dumb****s that led us here feel bad.

If I could wave a wand and ban a single class of comments on HN, it would be this. Rambling, non-specific handwaving useless text.

> user experience is nowhere to be found in the linux landscape.

It's ignorant, and its insulting, and it's stupid. You can read one or two KDE blog posts, look at the roadmap for Cosmic, look at the attention Valve has put into Linux and know that sentence is just rude. It's just so frustrating.

> People will tell you try this or that distro.

Dumbasses on reddit will. No one that has a single clue encourages distro-hopping.

Every second of my political consciousness in the United States has been acutely tinged with the awareness that a bunch of people, across most of the political spectrum live in a constant state of denial. Denial of personal responsibility or culpability. Denial of cognitive dissonance. Denial of any distinct, self-informed morals. Denial of anything but a fear of others. Denial of anything that makes them fearful or uncomfortable or might invite confrontation.

I've known from the second I started doing debate and FX/DX in highschool, well, let's just say I never thought that the majority of the 2FA-folks would be worth a damn when tyranny really came knocking. Fear of the other as a form of manipulation, and a distraction from class consciousness, has been their literal raison d'état since decades before I was born.

I guess I was shocked that the President being a convicted rapist and documented child predator would be a bridge too far. But then we re-elected him.

I believe it. We voted for this. We do nothing in the face of zero actual justice. This is exactly as good as we deserve. And best of all, it certainly doesn't stop here. This is what they chose to not redact. When we know they spent enormous tax-payer hundreds-of-people hours redacting the documents.

I don't think it's even conspiratorial to say they left stuff in, so they could use it as justification for not releasing the other HALF of the files that haven't been released, even overly censored.

We deserve this, and the much worse that our apathy has invited.

Just gonna refresh the frontpage until this disappears. Can't have "politics" in here, no sir-ee!

And there it is! between 12 and 13 minutes.

Fuck this site. "Free speech" fascist assholes flagging this, no doubt.

It's SO FUNNY HOW YOU JUST USED IT. Oh my god, I knew you would eventually, but in an actual reply in this thread. Truly amazing.

Anyone... They...

But yeah, I'm the weird one for using "they" the same you did rather than go look up the post authors gender. Jesus fucking Christ. Props for keeping the makeup on.

It's interesting how you seem to dance around understanding exactly why Tailscale is geo-blocked and then also try to act "curious" like Netbird will be different. And somehow, you can't or won't just go check for yourself if the app is available in your region. Hm.

Ah yes the woke practice of the singular they, when gender doesn't matter or is ambiguous. Which a hundo-percent never existed before scary mean woke-ism.

I guess I'll just say that I hope you share the blame with the appropriate parties whenever you are suffering through iOS entitlements and provisioning to publish or self-load it on your iPhone, since Netbird's iOS client is open source.

Though, maybe it's not doing business in the US, and maybe the app is not similarly geo-blocked.

Actually can you not just pull the app and then side-load it anyway? That's what I would do if I couldn't get Tailscale from the Play Store...

Maybe this comment helps shed light on who I think are real the cause of your ire. Frankly I strongly agree with Brad's comment on why they don't care to open source the iOS client like they do the Android one.

Your arbitrary, loosely-detailed complaints would apply to literally everyone, every app.

It's on f-droid, it's open source, you're being ridiculous. I'm not even sure you understand what you're asking for. The official, open source Tailscale client explicitly supports headscale servers.

Why would Tailscale seek to limit access to their clients, other than where required by law?

The Android client, at least is FOSS. It's hardly Tailscale's fault that people buy iOS devices.

Rust is too complicated!!11 Ooops wrong thread.

Props for doing the research and posting the links - I stand obviously corrected. I get why they did it, but it also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :( Sigh.

> No, it never was intended like that. That some people build infra/business around it is something completely different, but swarm was never intended to be a kubernetes contender.

That would be news to the then Docker CTO, who reached out to my boss to try to get me in trouble, because I was tweeting away about [cloud company] and investing heavily in Kubernetes. The cognitive dissonance Docker had about Swarm was emblematic of the missteps they took during that era where Mesos, Kube and Swarm all looked like they could be The Winner.

I cannot find any indication that this is true.

With the quality Google is pushing out these days, I wouldn't touch this with a 100ft pole.

remember when you agreed with me that it was maybe regretable that the Favorites space was removed in favor of a process that required multiple clicks? and now it's months later and Element still has this redesign shipped, with every single one of the original flaws mentioned, still present.

I think Matrix has a lot of smart people involved, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but dear god, are you hiring for a TPM, by chance?

Every, single, time I have to go "Home" -> "Expand" -> "Favorites" to do what used to take one click, I lose a bit more faith in Element/Matrix.

Though, y'all did finally fix the notification sound that made me want to kill myself every single time it violated my ear drums. Only took.... 4 years? for that?

It blows my mind how many stories hit the front page, every day, that bottom out on whining about proprietary software. I've literally been talking about the Win10/11 whining for 3+ years, and yet EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK THERE ARE MORE.

Lawnchair is *EXCELLENT*. I say that as a former Nova Launcher user. And Lawnchair is fully OSS and actively developed.

I just cannot fathom people who enjoy this non-stop BS rollercoaster and are happy to be passed from OG dev, to scummy publisher, to ??? publisher. And all just be happy about that instead of ... why am I even typing this shit. The people that care, care and use OSS or migrate when the writing is on the wall. The people that allow themselves to get jerked around and just take it are going to keep just taking it. And whining about it, while changing none of their behavior.

(Totally not related; see HN and the constant cycle of people shitting on decentralization and then being pikachu-shocked when proprietary centralized services do what they always do).

(Though, it's nice to finally, finally see a predominance of anecdotes of Linux experiences that aren't based on 3 year old distro ISOs. EDIT: 3 is generous, I saw people talking about a 20.04 LTS spin less than a year ago and acting like that was indicative of Linux on Desktop).

To be fair, I'm probably just way off base here. A company whose focus is absolutely not an Android Launcher surely won't enshittify or sell it in due course. Surely. Surely, surely, surely. Right? Like last time?

This... is why Rust exists, yes.

Jfc the quality of information shared on this site is abysmal nowadays.

I use Bitwarden, I use Android, I use Firefox on Linux. Passkeys work just perfectly fine on all of the sites listed here thus far.

Can you give any more details about this? I had bumped into this and couldn't figure out if it was actually Bitwarden extension but or a Firefox bug.

If I could give a comment HN Gold, it would be this comment. 3 times.

Good news. The devs of x11 agree and made a replacement called... Way... Oops

Accessibility? Sure. Everything else? Nah, I'm sorry. There are countless ways to do remoting with Wayland. There are countless ways to do kb+mouse sharing.

Can we summon the Trumphole licking HN users that spent their reputation insisting that us "libtards" were freaking out, and get them in here to explain how this fits in the MAGA 4D Chess?

Or is it against HN decorum to point out just how much of that shit-headery fart-huffing was allowed and transpired here, on HN?

Ahahahahhahahahahhahahahaahaha. Please tell me this is tongue-in-cheek and just more subtle than I give HN credit for. Please.

Hard to say because I'm a bit ignorant of the edges of Flox right now! This comment is great though. :) And even more exciting to hear it will be OSS'd. Appreciate your replies here, good luck!

30,000,000 / 30,000. Hope you can find a calculator to help you with that challenging math. I know it gets hard with such big numbers! (kinda the point, here!)
