@pinkRhododendron@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social it has a modern web browser which is basically the only hard requirement to daily drive an OS

@pinkRhododendron @leo I want this more than I want a computer.

@pinkRhododendron@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social i mean chromeos kernels don't compile half of those drivers in and people use chromebooks fine

@mcc It's telling that the one "big" success story in the years of slop has been computer programming, an industry where a lot of people have no professional standards and are allergic to solidarity.

@pinkRhododendron @leo i was already looking at learning linux kernel development to use some of these audio devices without windows

@lu_leipzig So far pushback seems to have had no impact on projects and I see no organized attempts to fork more than a couple scattered projects in protest of AI infection. If we want a best case scenario we have to take steps toward making it happen.
@mcc Agreed, but where to start? Personally, I'd be willing to contribute to fork efforts as long as they're well-organized and principled, but I couldn't imagine forking a project without having been involved / familiar with the codebase. IMHO, there also needs to be an organization uniting the movement, and both the FSF (somewhat surprisingly) and the OSI (unsurprisingly) are failing big time at that so far.

So file systems, nothing new there as there was a murder almong them.
Oh protect the children too. -
@pinkRhododendron @mcc @leo It really depends on what you need.
Most of my machines would be quite fine on FreeBSD, but the gaming machine would be an issue and my server & NAS intentionally use btrfs instead of zfs which means I have a problem (until a FUSE implementation of btrfs is available, anyway). -

If I can't run flatpaks I'm going to have really big problems. I have a webcam, I have a video capture card, I stream using OBS, I expect my AMD video compression acceleration to work. I expect to use my computer as a computer. I *am* looking at btrfs for my backup drive :(

@lispi314 @leo @pinkRhododendron I have a Steam Deck for games. But I still need to be able to run OBS on the laptop, what if I run the Steam Deck into it

@mcc@mastodon.social @leo@60228.dev @pinkRhododendron@mastodon.social For a backup drive, which doesn't usually have redundancy available,
ZFSis probably fine.My issue with
ZFSis primarily that for live arrays (which a backup drive isn't) it assumes you're rich and can afford same-sized-or-larger replacements.(It also assumes that datacenters spiking prices to 2~3x their norm never happens.)
FreeBSD has the
DRM&amdgpuso it may or may not be fine even for GPU. It kind of depends on where the most recent ports from Linux are there. MESA ports are available too.Flatpaks are most likely not an option. iirc they explicitly target Linux.
USB HIDs should be all fine.
I have a video capture card
It kinda depends on how it works. Some of those fake a webcam, some involve custom drivers, some completely bypass the host system (using the PCIe slot purely for power), it differs quite a lot.
AMD video compression acceleration
sdl_gpu
Depending on just how discovery is done, it might work fine.
Pipewire ports are available so that's everything JACK & PulseAudio handled (as well as the natively pipewire).
So, possible.
(Do not take this as a personal endorsement of FreeBSD, I do not currently use it, I simply know it has decent support and an adequate wiki.)

@mcc @leo @pinkRhododendron Convenient. My own gaming machine is older and less portable.
Used to be I could say cheaper to maintain but with modern GPU prices... -

In questa guerra, capire perché sia iniziata è quasi difficile quanto capire come potrà finire. Negli ultimi mesi Stati Uniti e Israele hanno offerto spiegazioni diverse - e spesso contraddittorie - per giustificare l’escalation contro l’Iran. Dalla protezione dei manifestanti iraniani alla minaccia nucleare, le motivazioni sono cambiate rapidamente. (Alessia Melcangi 11 marzo 2026 La Stampa)

@voipmeister yes, I'm sure this will happen 😆

I think one of the thing R demonstrates is how important the distinction between
"we want to make something good by making it structurally impossible to do something we think is bad"
and
"we want to make something good, so we'll tell you doing that is probably not a good idea but it's still possible. Whatever happens when you do that is sort of on you tho."
Allowing people to do (good) things that you didn't anticipate is literally the best possible outcome of making anything, and the balance between unstructured, groping in the dark chaos and the world of grammarlike intuition is the first, only, and total challenge. The evaluation model of R is a product of serendipity and reverse engineering that is objectively horrible to imagine, but has resulted in some of the most downright intuitive tools I have ever had the pleasure of using.

From a newsletter I received:
[...]
To make it short, “print on demand” means working with another company who will print the product for you and fulfill (ship) it directly without your intervention.Back then I did a ton of research on the subject, and was pretty much convinced that it was the way to go for artists: "stop making packages and managing stocks, create more products and make more art instead".
“Sending boxes is not where you create the most value.” to quote the ( my own, Ed.) blog post directly.
So, what changed now that I print and send boxes all by myself?Honestly, it’s because I’ve realized what the “value” of an artist really is.
I believe that the unique thing indie creators can bring to people is the human connection; whether it is an illustration that deeply speaks to specific people, a deep conversation with people on the internet, or a box coming in the mail… To me, this is what has become the most important when I create.
A lot of independent creators are trying to sound too big and professional (saying “we” even though it’s one guy in his garage), and I realized that I was doing exactly the same mistake: By refusing to put a bit of myself in each order, I was basically turning away an opportunity to connect with someone directly.
Imagine, it's like if I was hiring someone to write this newsletter! It's not directly my art, but it's still so important.
So, to correct my past self, I think artists and creators create the most value by connecting with people. Making art and sending boxes are just some of the opportunities to do so!

This reminds me of the time I "fell in love" with Vincent van Gogh.
It wasn't his art in the first place.
It was his personality, his life, it was him that pulled me in.
Then I looked at his art and realized that this kind of art could've only been made by this kind of artist.
His personality, his story, he himself, connected with me.
And that's why I still think he is the greatest artist of all time.

@GinevraCat That's wrong according to https://www.green.it/olio-di-palma-nella-nutella/ #Ferrero uses only 100% certified and sustainable #PalmOil to make #Nutella @palmoildetectives @connynasch
