@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: I think this is also where the distro-hopping phenomenon comes from.
People use a distro for like a week until some generic easy to fix issue pops up and instead of spending 10 minutes of time to learn to solve it they "blame the tool" so to speak and install something else.
@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: I really don't know. You know have the kind of people who always just reinstall their OS or actually buy a new computer if something like that ever happens.
@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: There is nothing wrong with hand-editing patch files by definition but you should definitely test if your edit still applies the patch correctly expecting before committing it.
@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: I notice that I often have to deal with merge conflicts because they are handed of to me because the junior developers have some kind of negative emotional response to is while I just see it as a regular part any other programming work.
@c90eef37@cb6f91f1 I'm a free software developer so yes.
Making money with free software is very straight forward. You just sell the software (selling copies) or you sell hours like I do, as in clients pay me an hourly rate to develop custom software for them.
@32d1cccb@cc700677 I can't believe you feel like sharing anti Stallman propaganda on the day where we are celebrating GNU. And on YouTube of all places. We don't care.
@0xa1baa1baa1baa1ba When I was in elementary school there was a Win3.1 computer at the back of the classroom and whenever no pupils were using it it had this screensaver on it and I have spent considerable amount of time watching it as a kid.
@c721880c With household appliances such as toasters I think you could actually argue that toasters from the 80s and 90s are much better than toasters today, as many appliances today are made a lot more cheaply and aren't built to last.
@c721880c I think the entire smartphone market is basically Apple doing random stuff and all the other companies just trying to copy that.
I don't think if mature market is the right word for that, it's mostly monopoly maybe?
@c721880c I don't think so, there's many things they can improve on like power efficiency, making phones actually smaller, adding actual useful features, improving repairability, improving product lifecycle, using more eco friendly materials, and especially making their software more freedom and privacy respecting.
But instead of doing actual good things phone companies just be like "add another camera and call it a day".
@c721880c There has also been a complete halt to any meaningful innovation in the smartphone space for the past 10 years. There really is no reason to buy a brand new smartphone other than a 2% performance increase or having 6 instead of 5 cameras.
@Shebang! :blobpeektrans: I personally think every social media platform should have to communicate with people on that platform without using that platform, aka through some kind of federation system, i.e. activitypub.
If that is not the case you'll always end up creating a closed echo chamber with a company behind that is essentially a monopoly.
@Shebang! :blobpeektrans: Been like a month or something I think?
I feel a little like their audience doesn't quite fit into the fediverse. "reward based social media" feels a cryptobro scam to me. However I've had no issues with them and software is free software so can't really hate on it.
@c9202e22 100% of GNU/Linux systems having audio support is just completely unnecessary. Do you even know how many devices that don't even need audio run GNU/Linux? Like servers, embedded devices, etc.
