estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Thinking about switching to Linux; main concern is son's games6·6 months agoI guess all those games work out of the box in linux through steam. I personally play just Stellaris from that list, but I do not see why the others wouldn’t.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden Echoes Richard Stallman's Warnings On Proprietary Software After User Says 'Adobe Can Not Be Trusted'16·1 year agoso… just to be on point. On which part your arguments are related, to sustain or deny, this:
Because all the rest, is just not an argument.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden Echoes Richard Stallman's Warnings On Proprietary Software After User Says 'Adobe Can Not Be Trusted'32·1 year agoHe is at Rusia because Europe denied him passage when he was traveling to south-america. And of course, he benefits the fact that Rusia and the US are not in good terms. But… how in earth that makes him accountable by the acts of the government of the country he lives in? That’s just a falcious argument (ad-hominem), not a real fact. Where, in which acts, what actions he did to “collaborate” with “one of the most brutal fucked regimes currently and historically”? Is like saying you as american citizen (if you are), are directly accountable for all the “brutal and fucked up” actions your government does and supports along the world. But this is not technology, is politics… in what this article is important for this comunity is that a remarkable known specialist on security endorses what we (supporters of FOSS way of doing things, that includes Stallman, on which we could have also a lot of other difference, but not on that) have been saying during years.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why FOSS projects are using proprietary, privacy invasive infrastructure?1·1 year agoOh, I agree with that (I use a selfhost solution -gitea- myself). I was just pointing to what I think is the current situation and why is like that :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why FOSS projects are using proprietary, privacy invasive infrastructure?243·1 year agoWell, keeping an infrastructure like github is very expensive. Other solutions like gitlab are no real solution as gitlab itself is also not completely FOSS. Codeberg is a relatively new kid in the block, and sustainability in the long term is still not proven. Gitea/Forjego requires you to selfhost your repositories and that’s something not everybody can afford/take the time to do.
So, we have a situation of a standard de facto, when one company took the space and constitued a monopoly, forcing the users to use it or be invisible otherwise.
So, there you have the reason: visibility in a market dominated by just one actor.
How to fight this situation? There is no much way as individuals, a partial solution is to use a FOSS solution and then mirror on github for visibility. Of course this is limited as individual solutions wont change collective problems, but FOSS groups doing the same are no longer individuals but communities so with time we may have a way to get out…EDIT: s/go/get
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•I made an app to install websites as desktop applications on Linux2·1 year agolol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜
yes, but discord has
/tenor
and/giffy
to do queries and autopaste :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?152·1 year agoMind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)
well, I has been already years using Manjaro and never happened to me.
Not that it can’t, but never happened to me and I hope it wont :)
Manjaro Gnome. It just works ;)
This is nice!
Still, I would like to have an equal list of non GAFAM channels, heh.
I know “The Linux Experiment” (the best of those channels IMO) has a peertube:

estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup?26·2 years agoI turned on my computer and started to play mass effect 2… during 48h.
Slept a bit.
Call my family and friends to go out and not be alone.
Continue living.
Two years later I met my actual partner and we have a beautiful life with two incredible kids.
Just remember: losing someone hurts but is not the end, the heart heals.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?8·2 years agofor another (other than Tuxedo) EU based solution: https://slimbook.es/en/
(They are at Valencia, Spain).
But I have no about idea its quality as I have never tried one.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?2·2 years agoI have been using Manjaro as my daily driver for years now (I work making a programming language), and I have absolutely no complains ;) … but this thread is to talk about hardware :P
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?8·2 years agoI have a tuxedo. I love it. But…
- it supports just its own version of linux (TuxedoOS, based on KDE) and Ubuntu. I use Majaro and I have to tweak it the same way as I would do it with any other non-linux computer.
- I had a problem with sound and needed to send the computer to germany so they were able to check at it and fix it (replacing the mother board). Client service is good, but I live at 1w distance of germany (france)… what happens with people living far away?
- Is certainly good… but not cheap :)
sorry for the confusion, I meant that I work doing Pharo, and hence the license of my work is MIT, because that’s the license chosen by the Pharo project. Of course MIT license means you can license your own work with whatever license you want, including proprietary licensing :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?English1·2 years agoSame. I love it and I don’t know how I spent so much time not-using it :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Which GPL-like licence for object oriented?23·2 years agothis is the “virus” thing explained (by chatgpt, heh, but this is exactly what I heard) : Inheritance and Derivative Works: In object-oriented programming, inheritance allows you to create new classes based on existing classes, inheriting their attributes and behaviors. When using GPL-licensed code, whether GPLv3 or LGPLv3, any derived classes or subclasses created within your project will be considered derivative works. As a result, if you choose to distribute or publicly release these derivative works, they must comply with the licensing terms of the original GPL-licensed code.
hello, thanks for your answer and sorry for late acknowledge :P
yes… sadly there is still no response but as my other problems are solved and I just have now the backlight control issue remaining, I will patiently wait until gnome+tuxedo drivers go back in agreement :)
