What’s good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.

It’s actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it’s not receiving that much funding.

I don’t see a problem with Flatpak in this. It does what it’s supposed to do. You find not using it better? That’s great, that option is the default in all of the distributives.

Is it even a problem for a desktop in 2024? Never had an issue with RAM or diskspace. And even for those that have, they can just not use flatpak until they upgrade, no reason to kill it.

Your SSD will likely live longer than most of the other hardware. 8gb is surely low but quite enough for running Asahi in daily tasks.

My main concern with this happening is how much secret control the US government has over top Linux maintainers. Many commenters say that Linus couldn’t refuse the request from the government because he lives in the US and Linux Foundation is in the US. So what other requests from the government known to put backdoors into software they couldn’t refuse in the past or won’t be able to refuse in the future?

If I recall correctly Russia is not allowed to participate because of their state doping program not because of their politics. So unless there was an Israel state doping program discovered that’s not double standard.

There’s definitely a lot of opposition to Russia’s actions in the world but your comment sounds especially funny today when leaders of most of the world(including the UN Secretary General and even a certain NATO country President) are currently in Kazan, Russia on a global cooperation summit.

It’s basically your encrypted file, you are to handle synchronisation yourself.

That’s a small step towards enshittification

Going away from opensource model that you built your business over is a pretty big step.

How is the battery life on Asahi Linux compared to MacOS?

14 hours of lifetime on Macbook while also being silent is great.

You can boot straight into snapshot, may be useful if an update went wrong or you don’t like new kde.

You can change drives and raid configuration online. For example I bought a laptop that had windows preinstalled, so I used the second half of the disk space for linux, then I figured I don’t need windows so I formatted windows partition to btrfs, added it as a new device, moved all the data there, deleted the old linux partition and extended the new one to the whole drive, all that easy and without reboot.

I’d be looking into setting up ZFS on root for my next machine

I too was on the path of adventure once but then the kernel module hasn’t been built after the upgrade. Also btrfs offers some nice features for root especially that zfs doesn’t have.

No, you can for the games that don’t have drm, just launch the executable. Steam itself doesn’t require any drm. Even the games that use Steam services can be drm-free. Here’s the list of some drm-free Steam games

Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while

As far as I know GOG also sells drm content and Steam also sells drm-free content. So what’s the point

they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche

I also don’t remember them doing anything for Linux apart from releasing a broken port then badmouthing people who complained that the game they bought is broken.

I’m against censorship in any ways, just seems hypocritical to judge Israel here when everyone does it.

To be fair both the US and the EU did ban Russian journalists, so it seems hypocritical to judge Israel here.
