Why do you think it’s AI?
Tainted and unsigned module it says. Have you tried undoing some of your modifications? They might be the root of your problem.


Please don’t make me sub to LTT 😅


Ah, the RTFM argument. So you didn’t go to school, did you? You picked up a book and just started educating yourself?


LTT soon? They made a few Linux videos and still love windows too much to recommend it.
Arch users recommending Arch to beginners. In other words, Arch is fine, the community isn’t.
If it’s on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it’d be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).


How does one get a job like this? This is great! I want to get a job in a school or university and infect it with linux. “Guys, look! It’s cheaper and we can set it up then pay for support which still makes it cheaper and students can learn how to use it on their computers too, since it’s freely available to them!”
Thanks for the response. So there’s a bunch of stuff to do myself but also surprisingly enough stuff for an editor.
I’ll take a deeper look at it.
After reading this, I’m kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It’s becoming more and more VSCode like and I’m not a fan.
Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, …), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, …), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?


Interesting. But what’s the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?


I read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It’s something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it’s not possible for me to miss it.
Is this the “restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer” feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.
Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.


I would then encourage you to look up how those work and what proof of work actually is. Proof of work requires some work to be done by the client. If you want regular people to browse the internet normally and “do work”, that means JavaScript, otherwise it requires them to install an extra binary like TOR or something, which would lock out most of real users. I imagine that’s not the goal of site operators.


There must be a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.). Does that not exist? After 20 years of these systems existing, somebody must’ve tried…
Also, it’s clear that once again, open source needs some kind of funding model, because it’s a little crazy that a project like this can get so popular so fast, the dev flooded with praise, thanks, and issues but not money to maintain and develop it.


How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it’s not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I’m curious how you would implement a system without JS.
That just looks like an Apple clone. Why do people think that’s “user friendly”?


I wasn’t being very serious about nix. IMO, it’s quite the time investment due to its poor documentation and it has a lot of gotcha’s if you aren’t on NixOS e.g one example is that it’s great for terminal applications, but horrendous for GUI applications as it’ll be hit or miss. Again, this is if you’re not on NixOS. So, it can feel like an “all or nothing” approach.
If you have the time and will, then it can be very rewarding. But if you just "want something that works ™ " side by side in your current system, personally, I wouldn’t recommend it - unless it’s hidden by some other tool like devenv (which is a great tool for reproducible developer environments).


Adopt nix and you will be able to ignore it forever! 😉
Seriously though, as others have said, use whatever fits you best. I avoided snaps and flatpaks due to the increased size requirements. So many things were duplicated for no apparent benefit (to me). However, with their introduction of permissions and portals, it does seem like a safer option. Although, we’re in a phase right now where not everything is flatpakked and applications trying to talk to each other is a pain (keepassxc unable to talk to flatpak firefox librewolf, chromium, etc.).
Now that I use nix, I have a whole bunch of other problems, but at least getting packages is quite low on the list.


Jolla says the phone will sell for €299 (including a 1-year subscription license for Sailfish OS)
Emphasis mine. Mate, just what are you doing? A subscription license of a mobile OS? Wat? They could be working together with Purism, Pine64, PostMarketOS and other software+hardware groups trying to make linux phones popular, but instead they are making some proprietary stuff in their corner. Is it really that difficult to work with other people or what’s going on?
Phoronix commentors will be furious.
