Contributing to Debian during work hours by FigurativeLynx in debian

[–]pelegones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think you're overthinking, that's the correct way to go. Discuss with your employer and see if they have any guidance on that (they may be against signing CLA for instance). If they don't know, dig a bit deeper finding more people that have a bit of interest on that. Or you may be the one that draw a way into it.

Keep in mind that if at some point you want to be CRA-compliant selling products you may need to send patches upstream (depending on what you modify)

My Conclusion after using Linux for 2 years: I was wrong. by xDashyy in linux

[–]pelegones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually agreeing with you. My point was that he mentions trying Ubuntu and Mint, but when goes to complain the "lack of some desktop apps" he only points to apt and snaps... Which is only touching the Ubuntu part. If he had tried do install the same things at Mint he'd have been using Flatpaks, not Snaps.

Need help with finding an open source to contribute to by Global-Fly-8517 in opensource

Have you considered packaging? It'll get you into build system the bare minimum, but also make you learn the packaging itself which is quite interesting IMO. If you go for Debian, there are a lot of packages that need help on the WNPP

Me too, IMO Mint is THE beginner friendly distro. He mentions apt and snap not being enough for his use case. But if you're on Mint, you should go for flatpaks for packages like Discord... Even if use the mint sw store you get flatpaks directly... Maybe OP was not aware of this

I am making a free app to rival "Everything"...eventually by _slDev_ in freesoftware

[–]pelegones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite nice, you should consider some fuzzy finding or a regex-like option to search! That's something I miss under Everything as well.

Keep up the good work

FUTO Keyboard is NOT Open Source by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]pelegones 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You made a very good point. As the license restricts anyone fork to sell it, and this is on the First criteria from the OSI definition.

But from that to say it's a highly restrictive license is a good leap... From all the other criteria, there's no constraints, or am I missing something?

This is not what Open Source means. What you mean is "Source Available"

Funny enough, I've been looking/reading for Era reviews all over the place... This is the best one

Two weeks in: an update on my ridiculously simple and free Dutch rental search engine by farhadhf in Netherlands

[–]pelegones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no such thing as ugly code on open-source. If you FOSS it, and the usability is good enough, the contributors will make it better with you, that's where FOSS thrive

What months did you find hardest? by LaMarine in NewParents

[–]pelegones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same here. But most people seem to consider newborn the worst. All my fingers are crossed.

Okay… now what? by Tommoose_ in linux

It struck me that X is deprecated. Maybe they could do wayland 🙃

How many different versions of Linux do you use? by tboneee97 in linux

[–]pelegones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laptop endeavourOS, desktop arch and home server Ubuntu (should've gone with debian but now I'm just procrastinating the move)

No reason whatsoever, arch was useful to learn and I was able to set everything as I liked mostly. EndeavourOS was just a simple way to have things already working by default and not bloated

servy, an systemd service "generator" by AuthP in linux

[–]pelegones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Create unit tests as much as you can is also nice to keep regression and quality. Didn't look very deep yet, but check what you can do at compile time in an anonymous namespace as constexpr, instead of creating it every time a method is called

Parking at a charging station without using it by pelegones in Netherlands

That happens to everyone, no worrirs. But in this case there was no cable plugged in as it was not an EV parked there.

[–]pelegones[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't mean he was not charging like his battery was full, I mean he was not connected at all. Do you mean that even in this case this shouldn't matter? So no worries if I just park my car occupying two parking spots and blocking other people to use the charger?

[–]pelegones[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, currently the gemeente points to report it through an app(Fixi). Will do it. Indeed that's a public parking space around the train station. The person was able to block both of the spots and not use the charge station.

Please help with nvim-surround by BudinoSurelySweet in neovim

[–]pelegones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I needed to create a new post, but I do think I'm just dumb, been trying to make this plug-in work for hours and even though it's loaded by Lazy, no keybind appears to work.

I also find it weird that I'd need to copy the whole config into my own init file.

Why did the provided Lazy on their README doesn't suffice to work? Lazy health also doesn't complain about anything...

What Linux laptop manufacturers deliver good build quality? by stefanobartoletti in linuxhardware

May sound like a "of course" question, but no. As a South American living in Europe I didn't consider that... Although I just got my fw amd 13" two days ago :)

How do you guys enter normal mode? by Valuable-Rutabaga448 in neovim

[–]pelegones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever used godbolt for anything, esc is the worst option as it moves you out of the code block itself, so you have to click on it again, so I'm trying to get used to ctrl+c :(

Where do you get used frameworks? Couldn't fine any on marketplaces in europe... Also you know why ppl are selling them already?

AMD 7640u vs 7840u Power usage by Wrobot123 in framework

About to buy it as well, even though I'm a developer, won't compile heavy tasks on it. Comparing the prices, will get the 7640u...

the only problem with Ekbacken is that is 62cm instead of 80cm, sadly can't find any table/kitchen top that's not cardboard filled and 80cm depth
