Has anyone used such a system as a "daily driver"?

What do you need to do in order to boot a normal distro such as Debian or such? How does it stand from the perspective of user/software freedom? What sorts of proprietary sh#ts does it need to be usable? What sorts of compromises that may not be obvious at first glance?

Also how does it "feel" day to day?

Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.”

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic active dynamo at Mars's dead core? No? Well. It's fine. I'm sure you have some other workable, sustainable plan for shielding live Mars inhabitants from deadly solar and cosmic radiation, forever. No? Huh. Well then let's discuss something else equally realistic, like your plan to build a condo complex in Middle Earth.

a couple of things they got right about uthe future:

  • sitting alone in a bubble
  • depending on over-architectured machines
  • having the illusion to connect to others while only looking at them through something

In last 5 years for me:

  • a pair of decent (second hand) speakers
  • a cheap (blue switches ftw) mechanical keyboard
  • a standing desk
  • an ergonomic chair

(sorry it's not single item...)

I think it should always add:

"I am sorry*, Dave,* but i cannot .... "

The thing I find hard to convey is that FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software for many reasons, most of which are non-technical: FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software if it isn't spying on you, if it's governance is collective, if it's not build to make you pay for things that should be free, if it lets you decide where your data goes, etc...

we're often missing the point when we attempt at side-by-side comparison of FLOSS and proprietary software.. It's usually one-dimentional, and playing on our opponent's field: these companies racketing their users based on rent-based exploitative business models will always have more resources than independant developpers to improve "UX/UI"... so I think this must not be the only prism through which reading these things.

All culture belongs to everyone, therefore should be accessible to everyone.

The sale of goods only concerns those who can and want to afford it.

Sharing is not theft.

Pirates are cool.

wait. unlimited access to healthcare? isn't it "communism" when you're not a retired killer-machine over there?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

Can anyone point to the source code please? They claim it is "privacy friendly", so it cannot be proprietary, right? right? right?
