By giving back to the tools you love, you support the community. It can be hard to realize or even think about, but it is true.

Looking for a phantomjs alternative, ran a search and ended up on a page with a seemingly good comparison of possibilities, until you realize the page is on zenrows.com domain. I don't think I'll take YOUR word for your product. Not sure what snakeoil they might be selling but feels overtly self-aggrandizing at least

About fucking time... Android finally doing proper DHCPv6. When this is live on my phone I can turn off SLAAC, and not have Windows insist on using it (yes, there's meant to be ways to stop Windows from using SLAAC, so it only uses DHCPv6, but I never saw any of them work). *I* don't want 'random' addresses, I want predictable ones for firewalling and ACLs:

It’s striking how dramatically our mindset has shifted in under 30 years. Before the 90s, people were frustrated by the need to buy products they weren’t able to build themselves. Today, despite having unprecedented access to tools, materials, and even electronics development, many people prefer plug-and-play solutions.
In essence, we once valued understanding how things worked. Now, we often prioritize convenience and mental ease. Even remembering a few keyboard shortcuts feels excessi…

I have just released my debut solo album, "Tools and Toys", part of an electronic/synthpop project (Transits of Mars) that I've been developing in recent years.
Available to stream and download on Bandcamp.
Produced with free and open-source music production tools in #Linux, mainly #lmms

#FreeSoftwareAdvent I couldn't work without LibreOffice or Thunderbird. The former is a fantastic and comprehensive office suite, and the latter is Mozilla's IMAP and POP3 email client.
I suggested using them years ago at a work meeting, and since then, Microsoft tools have been discarded in favor of their opensource alternatives.

Ah yes, behold this relic I crafted ages ago. Is it good? Absolutely not. Do I cherish its beautifully terrible quality? Absolutely yes.

Was mich bis heute seit dem Umstieg auf Mint nervt, ist, dass es keine keine einheitlich Pfadwahl gibt.
Bei manchen Tools muss ich erst CTRL . oder CTRL L (keine Ahnung wann welches) wählen, bevor ich einen Pfad im Dialog (entpacken, speichern, öffnen) einfügen kann. Unter Windows funktioniert in 99% der Fälle einfach CTRL V und enter
Ist so eine Usability-Kleinigkeit, aber eine, die immer wieder auffällt.

There's two other very interesting MX Linux iso's that I'd like to point to:
- the official Fluxbox version, which still offers a lot of the tools and software available to the generic XFCE version
- the minimal XFCE community spin (you know I had to check that out)
Fluxbox is actually a very nice floater, and coupled with the tools, theming and ecosystem of MX is a great choice for those old Thinkpads!

Civilian friend sent me a .zip file saying “won't open, help please” and it wouldn’t, and thus TIL about The Unarchiver, https://theunarchiver.com/command-line (brew install unar) which solved the problem.

Get in your Kei truck and chill out, literally, making deliveries to mountain towns in the middle of winter. Can you figure out what's going on around here?
This game performed extremely well on my Garuda Linux PC, without having to use any compatibility tools. In fact the only "complaint" I might have is the achievements never popped. I don't care about those, so it's not a big deal, but something to note perhaps.

Systemd ate everything because they have developers working on it and addressing issues. And they do it all under a single flag, the project called systemd.
I don't understand the hate.
It's just software, that is pretty useful. It's useful for distros, because it's well supported and works well.
It's useful for developers because it provides quite a lot of useful and stable tools to create logging and services, that are much more flexible and stable than …

This gets my goat a little bit:

Yes, okay, I get it. I _do_ understand the risks associated with passwords. But is it _really_ dramatically more complex to store them than anything else? There are pretty great tools out there already to handle this case. Personally I think it ignores the risks associat…

'Don't even consider' Microsoft?

With all my KDE, dwm, MangoWC, NixOS, Gentoo, FreeBSD, Wayland, immutably complicated stuff it is very refreshing to just download an MX Linux iso, install it in under 10 minutes and have evrything you might want up and running in no time.
Well curated, well styled, great tools, you name it. Documentation excellent.
What a great distro! A gem.

Syndicalist unions are fundamentally different from the bureaucratic trade unions that dominate today. Modern unions function as institutional frameworks that negotiate within capitalism, often acting to preserve the system rather than challenge it. They centralize power in hierarchical leadership, limit direct worker control, and prioritize legal contracts and state approval over genuine worker autonomy.
Syndicalism rejects this institutionalized framework. It refuses collective barga…

As much as I dislike Apple, tools like this make them suck a little less.
