I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.
Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:
Redhat
Suse Linux
Gentoo
Sabayon Linux
Debian
Kdenlive
Arch
Ubuntu Studio
Fedora
Fedora Silverblue
since 2017 NixOS
NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.
Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you're waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)...
I always wondered why Google took this choice. With the help of this article I understand now.
RSS ist still not dead but many commercial websites and platforms are not interested in this because it is harder to monetize.
Although the advantages are obvious. An RSS feed is much more accessible in many ways. It is most times better readable, sortable, offline savable and more efficient to get. What is even better for the environment because a with scripts and external content overloaded web page has a much higher carbon fingerprint.
Google Reader died and so ATOM/RSS will because the lack of commercial success.
This one is something that were brought up a lot by developers including me who are very weary about corporations profiting off of our work for free and this basically put us off from contributing to open source in general....
Historically the GPL seems to be not cermercial in the sense of taking care for developers rights. The GPL is also connected to the term Open Source. Because it was too restricted for some cases a derivation was made witj the LGPL with which it is posdible to use GPL licenced libraries easier in combination with other more restricted or more opened licenses.
For some looking for Free Software all this was too restricted and the libre BSD license and all its derivations were made.
There are several licenses which forbid commercial use. But where does this work? When I want to use a piece of software while working on a profitable project it is commercial use. It may be on purpose to restrict this but sometimes it is not meant to be not free.
Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn't find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!...
Occasionally I get feedback that some listen to DJ sets I put together to work. So I took a look at what I actually listen to for deep work and recorded a mix specifically for that.
