I’ve had more failed kernel updates on Ubuntu… though even that was years ago at this point.

i use arch btw.

i think the point isn’t that they should have to take it down but that they should take it down. not taking it down is a choice.

Only newbs use Ubuntu. You should really be compiling everything from source with Gentoo.

Easier to get features you didn’t even consider, shared testing and bug finding, and shared maintenance burden.

You even shared your code like you where inviting all of those things…

i did this for a good while. Obsidian did great.

i only migrated to mealie because I wanted a better way to share recipes in my household and quickly share them with a shared tablet in the kitchen. Needed to get it out of my personal docs.

I also kinda liked the ability import from url which saves a good 10min transcribing and cleaning up in markdown. Not that i still dont have to cleanup recipes, just it starts in a better place so its quicker.

if only there was a software concept that anticipated this and gave you the ability to own and modify your software…

i know right. i mean you do have to fight with the prompt. and it can mess up the resolution. and will often pick random formats that don’t match the extension which breaks sites with strict security and some cdns. and wasted a ton of power in a datacenter.

but thank god I didnt have to spend 30sec in gimp to get exactly what i wanted.

I do too. But most commercial appliance integrations are hacks, and having missing featurea or dont really work most of the time. Many times I suspect skirting very close to violating TOS too.

HA is great if you have matter or zigbee or zwave. Probably even some of the proprietary in building protocols too. But these one off cloud commercial systems honestly suck in my experience.

look, i wouldn’t mind a dashboad where i could see when the dishwasher was run, that the rinse fluid is low, the temperature in the fridge ans freezer over time, how many times the ice machine refilled, when the AC on…

smart devices could have been cool.

what we got was the ability for the power company to turn of my fridge, requiring a broken app to run cycles on a dishwasher, and spying for no benefit in every device.

The idea has promise and i hold a small glimmer of hope for home assistant. But, like so many things companies did not give anyone what they wanted.

Dont know if thats a fair summary of the original post. Technically, it answers the clickbait question but not what it was about.

Microsoft claims its using ISO files, but writes proprietary extensions into them. That’s vendored so doesnt break the files but is outside standardization so limited interoperability and has some long term risk.

Important though, it makes libreoffice look like it doesn’t implement the standard which isn’t true.

They’re dealing with that by detecting these vendored chuncks and displaying a message block in the document and re-writing it on save to preseve it. it sounds like the wording is something similar to the blog post suggesting its a Microsoft Extension that may be supported in future releases or something but i havent seen it.

“from 2016 onwards” some of those dates after 2016 are pretty recent.

ive been seeing screenshots of the new vibe coded new tab replacement that are totally broken and the redesigned ui has overly rounded components that cover up text components and hard coded “ai” purple gradients that are nearly impossible to turn off with going into about:config…

So I have low expectations of this going well and seeing that second option in my future.

a number of years ago we got server that had a internal usb connection for the OS and an “enterprise” usb drive with redundant flash storage. so its an option and we tried it to get the extra exposure space since it was vendor supprted.

But also, the third time we went to replace the storage the vendor said they no longer supported that as an option… which they had never told us before. Even 10 year old servers they’d find parts for it.

so, maybe an enclosure with a traditional drive, but in wouldnt trust traditional usb or flash card usb storage for your os. just arent reliable enough for constant storage access.

Backflip seems like a stretch from what the article says. But when Googles policies have me seriously considering if avoiding the walled garden was worth it, its a pretty unfortunate slip that says a lot about what Apple’s leadership is thinking.

I think we’ve all seen the enshitification playbook enough to know “accept or not now” just means its a matter of time before its not an option.

a lot of communities are aggressively clamping down on AI contributions. i think leaving the floodgates open really hasnt worked out. People touting “the kernel does it so get over it” gloss over the contributions being small and strict “your ai code reflects you and you own the consequences” policy.

additionally i dont buy the enterprise does it so get on board argument. the floss movement is literally built around pushing back on corporate norms. i dont know why anyone would take thay argument at face value.

for a lot of FLOSS communities, the ethics of the software is as important as the quality. which is why so many Debian community members felt betrayed by milquetoast ai policy adoption.

Graphene made a similar “look they’re all doing it too” argument on Mastadon which I feel just really undermines their image as the alternative.

“we dont police our developers usage as long as the quality meets out high standards. all code is at the end of the day ownedand reviewed by the humans in our teams” or some other equally silly statement would still have had critics but at least they wouldn’t sound like a grade schooler wining about how infair life is.

isnt secure… tell you dont understand security without telling me you don’t understand security.

Same… I tried Kagi small web which kinda promised to fix it but so far every page is a hyper-focused version of everything I hate. It somehow made it even worse.

I think it can’t really solve the problem because the people that want that tight nit free and open. Internet are already retreating from engaging with whatever this is.

People have repeatedly called things “Web 3.0” but I think we’ve legitimately made it finally and I hate it.

Honestly I can only think of one. Weirdly a “developer platform”

Well I guess a couple more because keyboard firmware sites do that usb browser thing that terrifies me is a thing and only chrome supports.

I think with that argument its better to point out Fedora has taken pains to isolate itself from Redhat/IBM. Because while IBM has historically had great engineering, they are not know for great licensing. In fact the basically destroyed and entire enterprise ecosystem recently with the licensing changes to RHEL.
