@s2208 Grandkids?
I have some quite excellent "furniture" builds mind you. -

@BionicNigga @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina >The vast majority of people cannot code, and they shouldn’t have to.
I agree that coding is a degenerate behavior.
The vast majority of people can indeed learn to program - they are just told that they can't and they should leave it up to the proprietary master.
A few decades ago it was discovered that secretaries learned to program in the Church of Emacs, when provided a manual how to use the editor, which they did not hesitate to follow, as it didn't say that want they were doing was programming.
>The myriad excellent software options available on a Mac
The jokes write themselves.
For software to be excellent, a prerequisite is not being proprietary malware.
You can quite easily have a functionally good program that is a disaster, as it takes the users freedom - which is clearly not excellent.
>it’s a pity you can’t use them because your rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset says so
It's not a pity that I haven't surrendered my freedom to apple.
That's like writing that declining to put your arms and feet into shackles and gleefully taking any abuse is a "rigidly restrictive proprietary mindset".
>is maliciously stupid advice in the era of 24/7 networking
It's something called not exposing the program to the internet via a firewall you keep updated.
>will inevitably cause compatibility problems as soon as you want to run a newer program.
The absolute state of the macos-addled brain.
As there are no proprietary restrictions, it doesn't matter what version of unrelated programs you have installed - you can have the most bleeding edge packages installed next to 20 year old software on the GNU system with no issues.
Even if you do have some old program with a cursed old dependencies, you do something called moving all the needed .so files into the same directory, or throwing the old program in a chroot with the old library versions and it will continue to work forever.
>computing experience on Linux, the operating system.
A false claim doesn't become true just because you repeat it over and over - that is a toddler level of thinking.
>macOS predates iOS you dingus.
All apple users have mentally been (i)toddlers ever since apple targeted the "market" of the hopeless. -

@SuperDicq @baleine @taylan >if you're working on a project anything posted on official channels should be about the project and not distract anyone from just getting the shit done.
But that is not what any CoC contains and requires.
There is no problem with a guideline advising that anything posted on official channels should be about or related to the project and that other posts should be made on other channels, as that is not a proprietary restriction.
CoC's are about demanding obedience in what people think and punishing any deviance, even if such punishment goes against getting things done - for example the removal of developers who make good contributions, but commit wrongthink and wrongwrite (which you can just ignore - don't read it if it's not a patch - there is free software that can do automatic filtering for you). -

@BionicNigga @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina >Not if you can’t code
If are not willing to learn to program, you should not use a programming machine like a computer - it's like wanting to use a calculator, but being unwilling to learn how to use that complicated multiplication operation - you'll find yourself calculating something as simple as 5*5 by entering 5+5+5+5+5 and find that many calculates are infeasible to perform.
>if you don’t feel like spending the rest of your life patching obnoxious compatibility regressions
You have the freedom to simply just not update the software and therefore no further patches are required.
>in designing your workflow on Linux
My workflow is the GNUflow with the Church of Emacs.
>let’s see it let you drag and drop a bunch of differently formatted photos onto it and have it intelligently optimize them for web publishing
Imagine being unable to use imagemagick or GIMP and needing some proprietary malware to hold your hand.
>or transform text in whatever app you’re currently using
Yes, Emacs can do operations on text, although bloat.
>or search the text of your last n visited web pages
Yes, that can be done in Emacs Web Wowser, although bloat.
>or draw anywhere on the screen while presenting
Totally useless feature that is a benefit not to include - but yes there are free software programs that allows drawing on a Xorg session.
You can also present just fine in GIMP with tab mode and draw anything you want with the drawing tools.
>intelligently provide shortcuts to in-app functions
Yes, the Church of Emacs has keybindings available for most operations and it is possible to keybind all operations to whatever combination you want.
>task management tools more complicated than a stupid pomodoro timer.
The GTimer free software time tracker offers functionality that most proprietary time trackers lack.
>recommendation to run proprietary software.
You are a itoddler. -

@p @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina I have to write it again and again and people still don't see reality - it will *never* be "Year of the Linux Desktop", as Linux is only a kernel that doesn't operate it again.
The year of the GNU/Linux desktop was around 1995 or so, as finally you could use a recent computer in freedom again - alas that freedom was savagely ripped away with the first of many proprietary programs added to Linux in 1996.
If a 1000% proprietary year ever results and what the prophesied "Year of the Linux [+ 9999 proprietary malware programs] Desktop" occurs, it's all over. -

@U_Shino That's not a bad thing to happen, as it saves you from the proprietary software, although only for a few hours (but even then, not with iphones, as the bottom percent of the battery is reserved so that location spying can continue no matter what).
That problem doesn't exist on GNUbooted Thinkpad GNU/Phones - as you'll see that the plug light has not lit.

@BionicNigga @phnt @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @birdulon @foxido @mischievoustomato @lina It's hard to say if gnome is free software as they love proprietary software just that much.
For the parts that are free software, you have infinitely more freedom that with the proprietary malware GUI in MacOS, as you do have the source code to make whatever customization you would like - people have made a library modification that re-enables theming for example.

The proprietary software industry doesn't care about women - all it cares about is dominating women with proprietary software just as hard as men. -

@p @SuperDicq @piggo @sun @foxido @lina >sshd had to link against systemd
No it in fact did not - Debian made a patched version to add notification support, which of course indirectly made it link against libsystemd.
libsystemd indirectly linked against xz-utils, which allowed a sneaky backdoor where proprietary software added to xz-utils could hijack sshd.
The proprietary malware developers were clearly quite skilled and probably could have pulled off a better backdoor that didn't only impact some systemd systems if there wasn't such a sneaky option - but now they've had to start from square 0, as they've gotten caught.
