I done know if it has everything you need but in minetest ui you can find a game called mineclonia, it tries to be similar to minecraft.

I saw Linux used on Boeing passenger service systems.

I think any person with ability to read and follow instruction can install arch in 15 minutes (excluding waiting for things to download), there is nothing special about it.

Yep, all this «how do I learn linux» stuff is weird. You don’t learn your OS, you use it. Did you need to «learn» Windows? You just launch it and click your browser / file manager / media player and browse, manage files and watch or listen to your media files.

You can just use your PC as you would regularly use your PC and find solutions once you face some issues. Yes, Linux issues are different from Windows issues.

What do you mean by people being obsessed over Arch?

Archlinux is Linux, it’s just a minimal distro that allows you to only use whatever you want to use. I have no idea what’s with being obsessed over it other than «use arch btw» which became a local meme recently.

msys2.

Not if you use vertical tabs.

For the longest time people wondered: how do bees fly and don’t bump into each other? There are so many of them!

To find out, people used high speed cameras, and then they were shocked by the fact that bees actually do bump into each other.

Isn’t it ridiculous that we just take our assumptions on something we have no idea about as facts?

DimStar sounds familiar… But I can’t remember where I could hear about him.

Yeah, I just downloaded a few communities from AUR, they run really well under Plasma 6.

Have you never tried to download a community?

I use Quassel hosted on my server.

I wish I could switch to Inkscape, but it’s not there yet.

It is really good lately and only getting better, but there are 2 major issues I have with Inkscape.

1. Tabs (as in, tabulation, the \t character) in text objects. You can find workarounds, like splitting your text into multiple objects and aligning them on your canvas, but it’s just not as good as being able to align your text using proper text alignment tools. Tabulation doesn’t work in Inkscape because it’s not in SVG spec, AFAIK.

2. Object styles. Again, there are workarounds, but they’re not as good. Can you create a text style called “numbering”, use it to number a lot of stuff in your document, then just change font family (or make it italic, or bold) all of the numbers at once by changing the “numbering” style? I don’t think it’s currently possible. Sure, inkscape is not a word processor. But can you make an object of style “banner” with a blue gradient fill, orange 2 px stroke and 50% transparency, use it multiple times, then when you need to change from blue gradient to red gradient just change the “banner” style? Again, there are ways to achieve this, but if you do this kind of stuff, inkscape is just not ready to replace your tools.

Don’t get me wrong, I really want to switch to FOSS all the way and wait for these things to get implemented. As soon as they’re there, I’ll be the first to make the switch. But it’s not now, unfortunately.

If I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to stand corrected.

Arch never broke for me.

Unless you seek trouble and do stuff without knowing what you are doing (like blindly copy pasting commands from internet into your terminal), it generally just works.

It’s not as good as those distros where all packages come preconfigured for you to work nicely together, so if you want to build a custom system (like, choose your DE/WM/panels/widgets etc), you have to configure all of that to intergate nicely. But you could always just install KDE and everything is pretty stable there, same as in any other KDE based distro.

Thanks!

Is it trying to solve any problem that is not solved by rsync/rclone?

Don’t get me wrong, I love new tools, just curious how is it different (better or worse) from rsync?

True, Lemmy (and activitypub in general) could integrate RSS and also be accessible via NNTP.

Or at least add some functionality for offline reading/posting. It’s just not a priority for devs now.

About spam, most of spam was coming from Google groups and since Google unpeered from Usenet, there is no spam.

Probably it would be better to edit my comment, but I’ll go with a reply to myself.

To all fans of RSS: there’s this service called FeedBase that is essentially a RSS to NNTP gate. You add your RSS feed to that and it becomes a newsgroup on their server, and you can subscribe to it using any NNTP client. New articles appear as new posts in that newsgroup and you can post your own replies to them. So, you get RSS but with discussions or comments.

https://feedbase.org/

If you try this, let me know what RSS feeds you’re reading, so we could read the articles together and have some discussion there!

P.S. This comment is not an ad. I genuinely love feedbase and use that myself.

Others have said already, but XMPP and RSS. Also, nobody mentioned NNTP yet.

I wish everything was accessible by NNTP and we had better NNTP clients. NNTP is like RSS but for forums (so, Lemmy, Reddit, or anything where you could reply to posts). Download for offline reading, read in your client, define your own formatting, sorting, filtering, your client, your rules.

If Lemmy was accessible via NNTP, I could just download all posts and comments I’m interested in and reply to them without any connection, and my replies would get synced with the server later when I connect to WiFi or something.

Is there a link to this talk (or interview, or whatever this is) but in a video format, or at least a text without all those «SEE ALSO» self ads?

People that live in a place where 4 mbps speeds are a norm.
