1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)

This would somehow be worse than JS

Meh. I'd say we tie him to a post and burn the heretic.

They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

s/librebooted/canoebooted/

it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

so they went from having:

osboot
libreboot

to having:

canoeboot
libreboot

All they seemed to have done is confuse.

yea, no thanks - "the grind" mindset is just capitalism worming itself into your brain

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 5 months ago

yup, but the meme makes fun of that mindset and the original meme template in my opinion

Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 16 points 5 months ago (3 children)

windows [...] programming.

Every day this sub is in the active feed and I could not be more removed from the intended audience lol

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 20 points 5 months ago

This will continue until you're part of the intended audience.

Okay, it won't stop even then.

I'll allow it. But I can't promise anything from the void crowd.

I like Ubuntu 😐

[–] toaster@slrpnk.net 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry, once the others graduate school, break their arch install, and don't have the free time to reinstall it, they'll like Ubuntu too. 🙂

What if we discuss Debian?

You're smart just not an elitist.

What if I use Ubuntu but I'd rather talk about the kernel than distros?

Wait, there's someone here aware of hardened gentoo? Well I'll be damned! Come out of the shadows, fellas!

People should be talking about void. Such bullshit. :p

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 8 points 5 months ago

Called it!

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

But how can you talk about it if it has no type and no defined sizeof

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 7 points 5 months ago

Nah, that way, I can be the Alpha-Nerd in my circle, getting all the clout when I help them out with a command-line-command that contains awk.

Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 28 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

Ubuntu sucks. Not because it's for newbies, it's because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.

Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I'm more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

[–] Shadowq8@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

honestly open source software is important.

I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

[–] Failx@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.

Why does nobody just use a basic Gentoo setup? Compiling custom kernels and using tons of use flags And cflags isn't actually going to make your PC faster. Just install the distribution kernel and use march=native.
