THIS.
I gonna save this to just post it every time one of those entitled FOSS-bros crosses my path.

If the only way for people to use a computer is to either become a developer yourself or suffer through exploitation by big corporations it isn't an individual failure of those people, it's an absolute failure of the FOSS / Linux community to build good software.

Any computer-touchers looking for a job? The Cambridge Computer Lab is looking for a mostly Linux sysadmin. Great place to work, I still pop in sometimes, but don’t let that put you off!

EDIT: I believe this requires the ability to be physically in Cambridge (UK) at least some of the time. I am not sure if they can sponsor visas for this job, but they often can.

Just finished PewDiePie's latest Video: "I'm DONE with Google"

Going into it I was hoping that he discovered the Decentralized Web with things like Mastodon or even PeerTube but overall amazing video showing off DeGoogling, I do wonder if he will eventually discover PeerTube and things, along with if he does if he'd even actually host his own instance for his videos but I dealt it due to there's not really money in moving across to the Fediverse for creators like that.

I still highly suggest the video either way.

#Microsoft "accidentally" blocked every browser but Edge launching on my kid's #windows device. Chrome, Opera and Firefox don't launch anymore.

While you would think they could rollback the change, Microsoft hasn't got a fix out about one week later and doesn't have much to say about it either.

I don't even remember opting into Microsoft Family Security. Seems like Microsoft detected the age and turned it on.

Maybe time to explore #Linux gaming?

OK next #Linux question: what does it mean if when following the (very confusing and overwhelming) verify instructions (https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=291093) I keep getting "command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"?

Why is it so hard to just install it????

Edit: I think it might be because I downloaded the torrent and not the file? But I don't know what a torrent is and it doesn't explain it on the website, so...

Is #Linux Mint still good?

I'm trying to decide which Linux to go for on my desktop. I've used Mint before but a very long time ago.

Please do not fill my replies with techy talk. I want something easy.

Ich hab hier zwar bei weitem noch nicht so viele Follower wie drüben auf der eX-Vogelseite (pun intended), aber vielleicht mag ja jemand boosten?

Ich arbeite als "Hobbyprojekt" an einem Videotelefon für Senioren. Und es wäre echt schick, wenn sich noch ein paar Leute fänden, die das Projekt unterstützen. Boosten und Faven (auch auf andere Social-Media-Plattformen) hilft, direkt im Projekt mithelfen (Wiki pflegen, Social Media bespielen, Code schreiben, Mitbasteln) natürlich auch, und wer ein paar Euronen übrig hat, darf gerne selbst was in die Kasse werfen:

I'd like a solution to self-host services such as Vaultwarden, Immich and Home Assistant at home. I don't want to rely on cloud solutions for this so I'm thinking maybe along the lines of a Raspberry Pi for the Docker apps and a NAS for the backend storage, but I'm really clueless as what to get. I just know that I'd want something relatively simple and easy to maintain.

I'm also a bit of a Linux and Docker noob so I'm looking to get some advice and ideas from the Fedi community!

What would your suggestions be? What does your home lab setup look like?

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

Few days left for #liberuxNexx to reach their goal (!). Fingers crossed and some advertisement here ! Dimensions of the phone are supposed to be relatively small, at least not huge, and together with SD card support it's my most limiting criteria when thinking of a new phone (now samsung s10e with #lineageos and root)

Every so often, someone emails or DMs me (XMPP and Signal available too :)) to say that they are a lawyer, they've seen my various blogposts, and they want to try Linux for work purposes.

I am absolutely here for this.

I delight in people dipping their toe in these waters carefully and sensibly. One can try it easily, without having to make any immediate commitments or irreversible changes.
