Multiple Chinese companies make their own Linux distro for national consumption, there is even precedent for this

One is libre software by a non-profit, another is a horrible ad ridden piece of shit whose only merit is that a Chinese capitalist asshole is behind it instead of an American capitalist asshole


Depending on your definition of spyware, quite a few Xiaomi phones do in fact come with buckets upon buckets of advertisements built in. One of the reasons I nuke every Xiaomi I get and install lineageOS
The funniest meta joke is the emacs bros rushing in the comments
ViM gives you :Sex what does emacs give you
The GNU licenses are written in the way they are because they were written with long legal counsel and analyzing actual law.
A text like this, other than the no commercial bullshit which may do more harm than any good, is not good legal text and leaves too much to interpretation. Also using a rhyme as a license may be rejected by some certain courts.
Ah but you see. You can manage BTRFS snapshots graphically with Timeshift. There is also Snapper for automatic hooks and such.
Also, it’s literally less complicated than LVM
Btrfs also has automatic checksumming amongst MANY other features which can warm you about silent corruption.
Use btrfs for CoW snapshots, it’s much better
To be frank I prefer GNOME for normal users because it has a distinct and uniform interface and supports modern tech, amongst other issues I have with Linux Mint
In practice I have found that teaching people to use a new environment goes better than trying to replicate Windows which will frustrate people when it doesn’t work exactly like windows
And even for making your desktop look like windows, KDE is miles, leaps and bounds ahead of Cinnamon
Also, NTFS -STILL- has write bugs occasionally with the ntfs3g driver (cannot speak for the paragon kernel driver) so it can cause dirty fs issues from time to time although they will be fixed with a chkdsk
LibreWolf and the likes are paranoidware/autismware and don’t work for most people’s workloads. Most people would like keeping history and other basic shit like sync that Firefox provides. Also, who hates Firefox’s features? You browse too much lemmy.


It doesn’t matter if a bunch of crusty compsci academics think something is bad if it just works™ in real life
And I am saying this as an academic. I’ve seen my colleagues write lots of papers that faded like a fart in a fan factory while Unix is still chewing ass and kicking gum 1970s style


Embrace the holy light of Dart
the fuck is wrong with LibreOffice?


reality crashes
Controversial opinion: those guidelines are poorly defined and ill advised made by a particular group of heavily anglo-american centric people and promoted by a few YTers and shouldn’t be taken like fucking gospel


Using crypto for international transactions is the intended purpose and has no connection to the shitcoin speculation that people associate with the name, and refusing to use it because of that is absolute puritan nonsense (people get scammed with regular money too, are you going to cease transaction over that?)
Dart is fucking amazing and it compiles to native code, transpiles to JS (with some restrictions on concurrency because of web workers) and also supports WASM.
Really if you want to write async and stream based code Dart is very good

Absolute Dogshit
