But yes all that supported stuff is great, but man those things at the top. Dealbreakers.
We party of Merkel is great for "stability". But this stability also means everything bad will stay bad and stuff like policing lobbyism is not a priority for those politicians, because they are good enough to hide it and profit from it so much, that they don't want it to change at all. Worse, we even have one party FDP which is really small, but openly pushes against policing lobbyism and they are the second or third largest benefactor of huge lobby donations.
The powerful want to stay powerful. If you ask the normal citizen they would want things to change at least to make everything more right.
The third point is also quite critical. The biggest industry in Germany is car manufacturing. And because of this every change here might disrupt millions of people, potential voters, and harm the industry. The reason germany did not come up with a great Tesla competitor or even Tesla itself is because of that. Everything moves so slow in these companies, they depend on so many other companies to get you some part of your car and then in the end assemble it all, that any change will disrupt too much and gets killed before it can bud.
Also Microsoft Store bought games do not work on Linux.
Well and in the end i just want to play my games. And if i want to start modding, don't get me started on the hoops you have to jump through just to get a modded Skyrim with everything installed how you like it.
i gotta say all this shittoberfest hype now really killed my mood and i hope that in the end the 70000 t-shirts will still be enough. Also i did not have the time to start hacking on the 1st october directly.
it seems to also be a problem of scale. At first only a select few knew about hacktoberfest. now so many people want to participate, that they try to limit the possible reward. So yeah i hope it is still enough for me and not gone, because too many people gamed the system...
I would say vs code does all that and while using an easy to overcome entry bar. And I am much more productive even than in native ide's for embedded development. Like iar eclipse or Segger.
The only thing I would want to try is using the org mode in emacs for nice todo handling. But else I see no appeal in emacs. It is just ugly, more concerned about it's license instead of just saying, this is free software just contribute and we will improve by using everything we can.
Make it super easy.
I just want to open the software and tell hey here is my network drive/external drive. Please start the backup of all my installed apps, all my configurations, all my music and develop files.
Also for restoring, just make it easy. Can somebody point me to a good solution? The problem is Linux is too diverse. Either you use basic tools like rsync which everybody can use, or you get super specific with automated btrfs backups onto a specific btrfs drive with deduplication and backup snapshots. Sounds super useful. But not easy as well. Also a gui would be nice, or at least a super in depth tutorial walking you through backing up your apps, your configs, your ssh keys. whatevs.
My question is what does matrix do better than xmpp. What does xmpp do better than matrix?
I tell you this will happen more often and people are willing to pay. But not pay for everything. Good thing they had going. Well it was still illegal, but hey it will happen again i tell you.
In docker its easy. Download Docker. Start container. Install container manager like platformio. Done.
But true to the article. Docker seems very hostile towards the community and towards getting revenue. If i think about Kubernetes and Revenue i hear IBM, Red Hat. And i am too cheap of a person and too small of a customer to ever need those guys. So i will still keep using Docker.
And because i know more about Docker i will probably try to use it at work as well. Easy as that.
But i am open to suggestions.
