I am a Python developer who makes open source apps and games with Linux in mind. Trying to prove that open source and Linux are commercially viable.

And here's why the HP Dev One (it was a laptop that shipped with Pop OS ootb) with its 16GB of RAM just wasn't cutting it for me.

And I'm not even a developer. I'm just over here doing marketing and community management stuff!

@killyourfm Is that Fedora KDE? 🤔

A lot of distros will probably be affected by Ubuntu switching to an immutable, fully "snapped" base.

As far as I know, most Ubuntu-based distros still rely on Canonical to provide updates for the Ubuntu base itself and many packages we install.

I'm guessing this move might force those distros to either integrate Snaps as well or roll out their own infrastructure for updates.

I'd appreciate it if someone can provide some insight on this.

@hirad That may be the case for now but it's probably not going to last. I think their final goal is to completely replace the current desktop offering with a Snap-powered one.

@hirad Perhaps... However, larger distros like Pop OS might choose to roll out their own infrastructure or even change their base.

@wiredfire @killyourfm I quite agree with you.

The real issue here is the lack of transparency and possibly user choice. If anything, it's very likely this will be enabled by default and very difficult to opt out of.

I do think this will definitely become an integral part of the "Windows Experience" rather than just being a gimmick, though. It's quite powerful to be able to change system settings or crunch data by just asking Windows Copilot.

It's amusing how Windows as platform is changing.

@wiredfire @killyourfm If you are looking for a OneDrive client, you should take a look at OneDriveGUI.

Sometimes it's REALLY tough to keep a secret. But now that the secret's out...

Our new logo is designed by @jonhicks, the creator of the original Firefox and Thunderbird logos. It will make its way to you when Thunderbird 115 launches this summer!

@killyourfm @jonhicks Unlike the current logo, this one makes it very apparent that Thunderbird and Firefox are related. It looks great too! 🤩

@eniko Do you have any experience with Pygame or Godot? Also, what are your rates like?

Everytime I go on Odysee, the content there seems to drift more and more towards conspiracy theories, complete disinformation and nonsense, or at worst ultra racist / xenophobic / hateful rethoric. The staff has a history of just saying amen to everything, including white supremacist stuff.

I’ve been thinking of abandoning it (I would keep PeerTube as the alternative to YouTube for people who really don’t want to use YT). Out of curiosity, a little poll about my content:

@thelinuxEXP I was a strong supporter of LBRY and Odysee, even going so far as to promote it by creating videos there.

However, I stopped using it a while back. For one, the Odysee frontend itself is no longer guaranteed to remain open source.

They have also begun including ads and tracking users to some extent. At this point, I might as well just use YouTube.

Will Odysee be Open Source? Odysee has chosen to continue to release code in an open- source fashion. However, Odysee is not bound to do this, and does not promise to do this. Source: https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/lbryandodyseeevolving:7
