I do hope you are correct.

Especially in the us? Definitely. Just in the US. I think it’s impacted everywhere. Things like the internet have seen to that. Just look at the situation when it comes to libertarianism. If one was to do a search for libertarianism. 99.9% of the information you turn up regardless of where you’re from. Will deal with the right wing larpers. You actually have to dig to find out much about Joseph dejacques or any other early libertarians.

I definitely think things are better over in europe. Having much more political diversity and better education. It’s harder to co-opt terms than it is here. But it’s still informs language choice these days to not be confused. Those on the left much more likely to be identified as Anarchist than libertarian. So as not to be associated with those right-wing ghouls much as communist often refrain from identifying his communist due to all the people who larped as Communists and all the crimes they’ve committed.

Indeed, the missuse and coopting is how libertarianism was stolen by the right as well. People more often associating it with the antithesis of libertarianism. Ghouls like Peter Thiel. And not Joseph Dejacque.

Recently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.

Yep, blaming the failure of the soviet state on something they didn’t have; communism. And not on their answer to every problem, brutal repressive authority. Much like where the US is now speeding towards. Just screams either disingenuousness or ignorance.

Definitely interested to see what Perry and the gang cook up. Straight up, if it’s something riscV with decent specs and company support behind it. I’m absolutely there for it.

Definitely interested to see their full plan going forward. I never owned a Commodore or an amiga. I had a friend that had a Commodore 64 though. And I always wanted Anamika back in the day just could never afford.

It’s very promising to see all the people old and new he’s got lined up to help.

It may be your setup. I’ve used rustdesk to connect from an Intel with an Nvidia card to an Intel with an AMD card. And from an Intel to An Arm based raspberry pi. From my Android phone to all of them and from them to the Android phone. I’ve never had an issue.

The thing to check out is if you have any firewalls enabled. Much like forwarding ports for remote X sessions. You will have to forward ports for VNC or rust desk

Without X there is no X forwarding. So that’s pretty much it. Honestly it’s been over 20 years since I used a remote x-session much. For modern tasks especially it’s not as functional as even vnc or something like rust desk.

Outside those playing around with retro systems and software locked to them. Or a few isolated archaic business systems. Most will never notice the difference.

Flat, answerable governance. That’s all. People only need alienation from terrible decisions. The insulation/alienation from the outcomes of their decisions are what allow them to make such horrible decisions easily.

Yep this really just seems like a tragedy from someone being overzealous. In the end only hurting allies. There’s no good outcome from this. But arguably the worst I think is to demonize an ally in an attempt to deflect blame. By shooting “preemptively” they’re where there blame lays unfortunately.

I don’t necessarily think that there should be imprisonment or jail in this for anyone. It was all completely unintentional. And doesn’t serve any public good. But I think unfortunately a lot of people are going to want someone to crucify or demonize.

Its always rhapsody. Never AUX.

Heh, I’m aware of DT but know nothing of a gun video. But he certainly gave a vibe like the 8 bit guy. So not surprised.

Yeah I think Brody was spot on with his assessment that this is exactly what a fork should be for. And people who want it will be able to use the fork Etc and X work will have its stability for now.

I only have a general perception of what happened with Lunduke. But I don’t know the specifics about what happened etc. Who was 2.0? Lol I wasn’t even aware of that necessarily for there to be a 3.0

Very likely.

Both sides however have behaved badly and both have valid points. Brodie had a decent video on it. Though for me the BS DEI claims are beyond the pale.

The Dev in question was pushing a number of breaking changes. Which yeah, if you’re pulling from git you’re gonna git bugs every once in a while. The problem is releases are so infrequent. People are pulling from the git and trying to use it for daily use. In order to get more up to date features. Some of the free desktop guys got a little too harsh with him. But then he sort of let loose with this whole Dei Etc psychosis. Which did him no favors.

Unfortunately though. There aren’t very many easy arm distros that are Arch based. I have done the traditional Arch install on x86 systems though. Gentoo as well. They are definitely good learning experiences. But honestly even as a techie person. For my money. I’m not going to waste time doing that every time I end up reinstalling or installing.

You never know when you will find another college student from Finland who happens to be in just the right place at just the right time for their hobby project to blow up.

Right now though it’s something to Marvel at. That something like Linux or Linux Mint even exists and is as usable as it is.

For many it’s just a hobby. But I really think with the way certain things are falling into place. Now would definitely be a good time for a few projects at least to get focused. With RISC V on the horizon, as well as a few basic open source GPU implementations. This would be a perfect time for a BSD or something similar to dive in heavy and establish themselves as a primary player for that sort of hardware.

But a lot of these obvious coders Etc and their projects also help shape future paradigms and push projects forward in their own way. So it’s still exciting to see what comes of them. It’s why all these years later I still check in from time to time on React OS.

People forget or are blissfully unaware of the financial mismanagement, the basic incompetence with keeping their own domain. They nearly lost it several times. Not to mention shipping with the AUR while being incompatible in many ways with the Aur.

If someone wants to use Endeavor or Garuda or one of the other different easy to use Arch spin-offs. There’s no issue with that. They all work like they’re supposed to and have generally been competent teams. There really is very little reason to use Manjaro these days. The last time I used it was for their Raspberry Pi version. Which wasn’t really going to work with the Aur anyhow. But I think endeavor is still providing a pi image now so there’s still no reason to use Manjaro

That said all this is yet another tick for Wayland.

Just watched Perry’s video. Best of luck to him. Honestly I’d love to see the brand revived. The X 16 the first new product. Revivals of the old. Maybe some new products based on riscv.
