@p @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @lina GNU wasn't designed to run on supercomputers, although it can.
GNU was designed to be a user OS that didn't need a special computer to run. -

@birdulon @p @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @foxido @lina >Treating a multimonitor setup as one big framebuffer synchronized to one monitor is below the bare minimum.
Xorg doesn't do that anymore since more than a decade ago.
You can still have that mode with certain software, which is kind of good for flightgear really, as you get fullscreen across 3 screens without needing configuration.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@conservancy Reviewing the talks, it seems some of them are about proprietary software and the titles are afraid of calling Linux, Linux? In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@Mamako @disarray Male ducks have evolved to use rape as a reproductive strategy, although I'm not sure if they "love" it.
Female ducks have meanwhile evolved to resist unwanted pregnancy from such proprietary activity.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@declarer7 The cameras aren't about security and offer none.
Yes, that is the expected image result or a video camera made at the lowest possible price in poor lighting conditions, vs a still image produced from data that was collected by one of the best infrared measurement instruments made.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@p @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @BionicNigga @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina The issue with that is then why is the xv program installed? Clearly it is installed to be run and saying not to run it contradicts the executable on the filesystem.
Slackware also uses a proprietary version of Linux, thus it may not be possible to choose not to run proprietary software either.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink

I was professionally diagnosed as not autistic.
I figure it's extremely autistic to insist that the kernel, Linux is actually some other software (completely ignoring that software has a name).In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

@Mamako @CSB It's not just that - they also hand it over to authorities who use it to investigate cold-cases, which has a nonzero chance of false positives - meaning you are risking having to deal with a police interrogation or even a criminal conviction for you or a family member.
