Please do not do that. Do not do that.

Please.

Do not do that.

Don’t let the AI near your database and do not run the SQL code it writes.

Please. No.

Well buddy it’s a bit more than that. Personally, I’m not holding it against the guy maybe he’s changed so I’m not gonna freak every time I see him but pretending that’s it is wild.

The man in anger called some guy the n-word. No joke to it. Straight up, I’m angry so I’ll call this guy a racial slur. This, along with the constant (and it was constant) skirting with racism and Hitler which were framed as jokes made it clear that it wasn’t just a bunch of jokes. Wearing a military uniform that was as close to the Nazis as possible, constant talk of a final solution, jokes about ‘them’, German speaches, zieg heils, dog whistles, and alot more were commonplace in his videos at the time.

You don’t just randomly shout the n word in anger for the first time on live stream.

The guy was obviously going down the pipeline and people still don’t like him because of that. Not one joke but a constant stream of them along with a very telling instance

Yoo that’s wild man doing gods (Richard Stallman) work here man.

Great initiative nonetheless. Compared to 8 this much more secure and for programming it’s a great choice too. Bringing more life out of some old PCs, saving a school money, and forcing some kids to get creative in order to play Roblox.

As for is it ready fr this application, programming, it has been for a while. For general, especially web based, applications it absolutely is. Of course, there are quite few things were it’s just not but for the most part Linux is a great choice.

I’d argue this is more like “I want to build a competitor to spotify so let’s decide between using mariaDB or writing an SQL compliant database from scratch”

In your example, a database is the end goal and you can either start with a premade or make your own.

Here, a social media platform is the end goal. Activitypub is a very important part of it but it’s not the entire piece.

If we replace the parts of your analogy with the original your example would parse out to “I want to make a competitor to lemmies ActivityPub integration, so let’s start with fedify” which is not the same as the article states.

Now, should you re-impliment a protocol yourself or use a generic library is the real question. Both have their benefits. With option A you have full code ownership and can wrap your solution around your end goal without the issue of dealing with the original to get needed changes accepted. You don’t have to worry about code not written by or understood by you. With option B, you get a more robust and almost certainly more accurate implementation. Along with, for free, better integration with any service using the same library. Very useful for a federated service when talking about cross platform.

Both have many more positives and negatives of course and each person should decide on their own how to proceed.

My opinion? I think it’s usually best to own anything which could feasibly be understood by a single dev. Even if each dev doesn’t. Anything larger shouldn’t be internal in my strong opinion unless very good, specific reasons apply that makes an external solution impossible or increadibly difficult. Most negatives of an external library also apply at that point with enough time.

Native Linux version too btw and it works great

Thank you for posting it by the way. This is both good, and important news

Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn’t as good, I’d argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place

Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it’s very good on its own

This one’s got a bit more protein I’m it while adding an umami taste to the mix

I like you man you’re chill

Hamachi is easier to get others to use I’ve found. When we just want to game getting somebody to install a different application can cause frustration, anger, and a quoting mentality. Some people are just stuck in their ways.

Doesn’t matter how easy it’s to do, how you’ll guide them through each step, some people are just stuck in their ways and many people are atleast familiar with hamachi

Glad you’re using GOG too. Great platform considering the alternatives

There’s a transcript in the description and this is on tilvids, a FOSS fediverse platform which does not financially benefit the uploader

Of course there’s the suggestion of installing KDE plasma on PopOS! Which will work quite well but to give some info on the others:

KDE neon is mostly for devs and is less well maintained than other distros. Still definitly not a bad choice.

Tumbleweed stronk. Definitly out of what you say my preference though yes, it’s not deb based. You should be able to get what you want though through the app store and the open build service. Really it’s discouraged to find random .debs online and install but OpenSUSE runs on .rpm which are fairly commom.

Kubuntu is also good. Last time I checked it’s a bit slower moving than pop but that’s not inherently bad. Definitly a great “It-just-works” distro. Some people, myself included, dislike snaps which are built in but if you don’t know what they are I doubt you’ll care. Most of the hate is overblown.

I’d caution against endeavor as it’s arch based. It’ll demand more from you, stuff will definitly not just work all the time,and if an issue arises it’ll be the first to catch it. Like the grub rescue error that showed up about a year or so ago.

Don’t use Manjaro. The devs are incompetent and destructive to the ecosystem.

Debian is also chill. There’s always unstable (can’t remember the current name. Debian Trixie?) For something that’s more up to date

Last thing no matter what distro, just like an exe, a .deb is just an archival format like .zip and can be taken apart to be manually installed. I understand not wanting to do this though lol and it’s not always that simple

A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That’s the last one I remember only a year or so ago.

This only effected arch an it’s varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.

Rebecca black Linux is for the real men though.

Most forward thinking distro. First to ship with Wayland by default and the only of the three still getting constant updates.

No competitor really. It’s always Friday Friday, gotta boot up on Friday with rbos my friends

The issue with that is potentially keeping software which has security bugs on your system for longer than needed. Also, if you install new software you’ll have a partial upgrade which can degrade your system. If you don’t install anything though, your system should work as it currently does without issue. Unless a particular app takes something from the internet which may need the upgraded software (say, discord, spotify, etc. as they’re electron based.)

If that’s what you want to do I would suggest switching to xubuntu, mint xfce edition, DSL, etc. as they’ll still patch security updates in. You do you though of course as with your stated usecase I can’t see any functional issue. I don’t see the reason for arch though.
