Believe this is one of the few vendors left making and distributing Linux magazines still(?). Would be interesting to hear what peoples feedback on these are, whether its this one or another. Seems like a fun monthly delivery to get!

Alt text; An image showing a meme about open source software. The top part shows an elephant standing on a beach with text reading "The entire world's IT infrastructure" superimposed on the elephant. Below this is a large, colorful beach ball being supported by tiny ants, with text reading "Unpaid open source devs." The meme illustrates how the global IT ecosystem heavily relies on open source software that is often maintained by unpaid volunteer developers who carry a disproportionate burden despite their small numbers.

Stumbled across this quick post recently and thought it was a really good tale and worth sharing.


A couple of weeks ago, I saw a tweet asking: "If Linux is so good, why aren't more people using it?" And it's a fair question! It intuitively rings true until you give it a moment's consideration. Linux is even free, so what's stopping mass adoption, if it's actually better? My response:

  • If exercising is so healthy, why don't more people do it?
  • If reading is so educational, why don't more people do it?
  • If junk food is so bad for you, why do so many people eat it?

The world is full of free invitations to self-improvement that are ignored by most people most of the time. Putting it crudely, it's easier to be fat and ignorant in a world of cheap, empty calories than it is to be fit and informed. It's hard to resist the temptation of minimal effort.

And Linux isn't minimal effort. It's an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

Now I totally understand why most computer users aren't interested in an intellectual workout when all they want to do is browse the web or use an app. They're not looking to become a black belt in computing fundamentals.

But programmers are different. Or ought to be different. They're like firefighters. Fitness isn't the purpose of firefighting, but a prerequisite. You're a better firefighter when you have the stamina and strength to carry people out of a burning building on your shoulders than if you do not. So most firefighters work to be fit in order to serve that mission.

That's why I'd love to see more developers take another look at Linux. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren't scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.

Besides, if you're able to figure out how to setup a modern build pipeline for JavaScript or even correctly configure IAM for AWS, you already have all the stamina you need for the Linux journey. Think about giving it another try. Not because it is easy, but because it is worth it.

Hej,

Tractive is a service to track dogs and cats, via a GPS tag attached to their collar.

I'm more than aware this isn't a privacy conscious service, but from what research I did it was by far the most "effective" service and easily accessible.

I paid a full year subscription for this service during January. But now two months later they have changed their terms. They do not list what these changes are.

My Questions are:

  1. What's the best way to find the differences in the old vs. new terms?

  2. I bought the product before these changes were made, does that somehow give me a right to continue using them under the old terms?

  3. Considering I bought this before the changes, and if I don't agree with new terms, do I have the right to a refund?

Appricate any suggestions!

Hi there, hope everyone is have a good weekend!

Got a general question regarding these types of coffee bags, that I keep getting with my coffee beans whenever I buy some from my local roaster. But honestly not sure what they're for...? Currently just using them as my lunch bags for work haha.

Let me know if they have a more specific use case!

Hiya!

Wondering how people's experiences are regarding the use of ultrawide monitors on Linux these days. What kind of setup do you rock?

Am thinking about getting an oled monitor as my next monitor and current setup is two 32inch monitors where one of them is vertical. But been keeping a keen eye on ultrawides for a while but not sure its for me and how well it's supported with Linux. I've read KDE supports it well, but what about when gaming? Also what's the current state of oled and hdr support?

Also, please add your monitor brand+models, would love to see what peeps are rocking. Personally been looking at the Alienware AW3423DWF.

Edit: I'm looking at screens that are oled and 2k resolution.

Let me know your experiences, tips or recommendations!

I did it. Finally. My meta account is in process for deletion! (Whatever that process actually involves we'll probably never know). But I did what I could and deleted all posts, pictures, aswell as changing name and email. Hoping that at least helps a bit. Feels good to finally get rid of what has felt like a burden for a long time.

Was able to move more people than I had imagined over to Signal, some easier to move than others ofc. But it truly helps that Signal is a breeze to use and setup for folks.

Anyway I just wanted to share what feels like a good achievement with you all. Hopefully you're also able to do the same during 2025, there are many good alternatives these days!

Have a good rest of your week!

Are there any brands left that is consumer friendly to buy from these days??

[-] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago

thanks for sharing the chart! I doubt they Sony takes a hint from this too, but it certainly shows other developers and publishers something about signing contracts with Sony...

She low-key fell asleep in the litter box late last night too hehe.. Kind of amazed she found her way to the litter even though the drugs were still effective on her.

Freaking Ironic using a VPN as a sponsorship for this video... VPN landscape is literary riddled with Dark Patterns. Surfshark are also guilty of applying these.

Highly recommend people have a listen to the podcast interview from Darknet Diaries with the founder of The Pirate Bay, it's highly highly interesting imo.
