Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.

Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn’t change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.

Weaker copyleft. Doesn’t guarantee freedom the way GPL does.

If someone were to make a proprietary derivative using the MIT licensed code, that would be allowed. Their source code changes aren’t required to be shared and licensed under a FLOSS license.

GPL on the other hand, guarantees (legally, not always in practice) that any derivatives are to be licensed the same way, so they must remain FLOSS.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

I distro hopped a lot.

Mained Manjaro for a while… but now that I’ve found OpenSUSE, I’m not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE “Kalpa” installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.

Very cool!

If anyone is intrigued by terminal calculators, I suggest you check out qalculate.

Makes sense. Only consoles I have are the switch, and the best console (because it’s not a console), the Steam Deck.

I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.

Alt-right playbook is, and always will be incredible

I’m an RSS newbie, but I need to +1 Feeder. I tried a handful, and it was easily my favourite from the get-go.

I quite like what Cory Doctorow has to say about it. (Author of Little Brother, coiner of the term “enshittification” (and much much more obviously))

It’s an excellent choice.

I really like antennapod. It works really well for all of my podcasts.

Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That’s just upsetting to think about. “Widescreen” (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.

If you’re watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you’re likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.

Truly a person of refined taste.

Keep in mind that these transitional periods in software can be painful, but generally the replacement is aimed to be painless.

The nice thing about Wayland is that development is mature enough that we can see where it’s headed, even if it’s not all complete. Most of the available options that use Wayland make it pretty seamless. You won’t have to relearn much between sway and i3. You also won’t have to relearn anything switching to Wayland in the future if you are already using GNOME or KDE Plasma, for example…

The reason is Wayland.

Largely the only difference between i3 and Sway is that i3 is built for X, and Sway uses wlroots, a Wayland compositor. Sway was designed to function as a drop-in replacement for i3, your config should even be 99% compatible.

Since X is essentially a dead project, and Wayland is supposed to be the next step… some people want to make an effort to move away from X… Some people don’t.

But it’s not really about “visual stuff”. It’s about technical debt, and a bunch of stuff I don’t understand.

YaST is the reason that when I’m considering distro-hopping again, I don’t.

I’m pretty sure I’m legally required to post this anytime someone says they use Manjaro.

Manjaro was the first thing to get me to stop distro-hopping, so it pains me to admit that historically, it’s been a very messy project. I’ve since moved onto openSUSE Tumbleweed and love it (I’ve also dabbled in NixOS, but it’s a lot more hardcore).

If anyone wants the ease of Manjaro, with an Arch base, my understanding is that you should consider EndeavourOS.

Also, if you like i3 but want to use Wayland for any of its superior features, consider SwayWM.
