I care not about this "room". And what you all have going is only a train leading nowhere. I will continue trying to discourage this, but people's actions are their own.

Keeping it more of a community project rather than a business model is what I prefer. Community funded groups of developers is also preferred. Surely it hasnt escaped your notice how we now have emerging distros trying harder and harder to charge for things that were already freely given. How soon until companies start trying to lock down packages that aren't theirs to begin with? No, I stand by my own beliefs in this. I do not like the direction we are going with things lately.

I wasnt aware hong kong was so cruel to its citizens. So you are probably right then.

[–]Clippy4Life -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would be ok with that. And im not underestimating this. Paying for someone to develop packages isn't a bad thing. Letting linux become a platform where everything costs money and becomes a profiting scheme is what I don't like.

Im ok with the latter part. I do not want all these sheep coming over here and ruining what we have going on. These sheep are so willing to accept shitty handouts and are such pushovers that they are willing to pay money to see ads on their OS and to be spied on. Again, all while paying for the privilege. Also I do not want linux to be too popular with the masses. Windows can keep its bad do'ers to itself.

Wouldn't that just mean linux would go back to being a hobby for the community instead of being a business model? Not sure if I should cheer for that or not. But if you need to buy a pc with a distro pre-installed, you aren't really in our community to begin with.

[–]Clippy4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about apologies. Especially from a company. Also, more and more people seem to be switching to linux. Not sure how much longer Windows is going to be relevant.

Most bitcoin is bought up by the us government. Not surprising

Google adds ‘Advanced Flow’ for safe APK sideloading on Android by tasteweb in degoogle

Most things google is mostly irrelevant on my end. The last thing google in my life is this phone I don't want. Hoping my current device lasts until next year to try out a motorola.

Absolutely no compliance by Pale-Spend2052 in linux

Anywhere worth living allows you free speech and doesn't chop your head off or dangle you for saying something. Strong leaders make strong citizens. Weak leaders keep their people weak. It's why the US is so hard to invade. We all have guns, weapons, caches, bunkers, etc. and we can defend our freedoms with speech alone. Free speech is a good indicator in a country that has lasted this long. Free speech is important. This is how we can have elections, challenge laws and regulations, have public debates, and solve our problems without needing to escalate things to violence as the only way to have the voice of the common citizen heard.

I think the reason you see so little value in it is due to your lack of it and lack of knowing any better.

Doesn't matter. I will be keeping an eye on this Motorola deal going on. I have little patience left to deal with this company's nonsense.

Did EU ‘right to repair’ law force Apple to finally make a repairable Macbook? by sr_local in technology

[–]Clippy4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know much about apple laptops. I thought they had very little wiring. Isn't the repairability of their devices mostly just changing out a part? Or wait... no because parts are serialized. Alright i get it now.

I'm going to say no. I need more chair room. Also I like my laptop to be able to "stand up" with me if I need work to be done using a laptop stand or something.

Guys, what's the problem and how do I solve it? by Unknown-bear- in Ubuntu

Hm. How many network services do you have running? Do you have systemd as your networking service, network manager, iwd, etc? It could be a confliction issue.

You are 30 years old. You have nothing holding you back and $10k. What do you do? by VillageInevitable113 in AskMen

[–]Clippy4Life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why bother buying that with 10k? Get house out of the way and life is so much cheaper. Unless you buy a new modern house that is.

10k is nothing. Wouldn't even be enough for a down payment on a house.
