for real, on windows getting an update meant “ugh what thing do i need to disable now”
now on Linux, it’s “whoa, that’s a cool feature!” and “OMG THEY FINALLY FIXED THAT FINALLY”
the most negative thing is when they change something and you gotta get used to the new way. im not the biggest fan of the recent changes to Dolphin (the file manager, not the emulator), but it’s fine and I’ll get used to it. it’s not worse now, just different
In the FOSS world, I really appreciate what’s happening to immutable / atomic distros like Bazzite. It feels great to have a system that “just works” while not being locked down like an Android or iPhone.
The Fediverse gives me a lot of hope too. It will probably never surpass the centralized corporate-owned sites. But, who cares? Lemmy and Mastodon are already filling a void for me. I used to spend most of my time on Reddit, and Reddit was at its best when it was significantly smaller than competitors like Digg. Digg imploding and all the Dig Dugs moving to Reddit was one step in a whole chain of events that made Reddit suck.
Proton is another game changer. I used to need a Windows desktop if I wanted to play PC games. I hated it, but I loved gaming. Now I only boot Windows once a month or so (mostly driver-related things).
Good morning,
We received repport about your behaviour on other instances/communities.
Our code of conduct is applied on jlai.lu but also on other instances/communities you will interact :
L’utilisation de propos violents envers une autre personne (insultes, moqueries, attaques personnelles, etc.), ou un groupe de personnes (sexisme, validisme, racisme, homophobie, transphobie, etc.), déguisée ou non.
You don’t need to use slurs to prove your point. I invite you to edit your comments and apologize. Or change your writing style.
Saying FOSS solves enshittification and disregarding the fact that this completely ignores the entire hardware enshittification side of things is dumb as all hell.
And I will not stand for dumb bullshit.
The laptops you mentioned are not FOSS because they’re neither free nor software. So my point stands about the shit the top comment in this thread is spewing about FOSS as the enshittification solution.
That’s cool buddy, next time someone talks about Tech in general (the post you clearly didn’t read from OP), you can spew your strawman bullshit about how FOSS solves enshittification. And be wrong as all fuck.
i’ll paste my reply from mastodon:
I was gonna say the same
I am actually excited for tech from the world of foss
I love simply reading patch notes and going like
“Ahhh yeah that annoyed me but I did not realize”
Thanks to all the hard working devs keeping things interesting and competitive with big tech

You can revert some of the changes such as bringing bottom bar back from app’s settings

Endless wonder if you enjoy reading patch notes like:
Well just point me towards a FOSS laptop then. Or a FOSS TV? Why not a FOSS toothbrush?
Tech is not just software 🙄.
I’ve only got the laptop

Open source is not just software
Chonky boi but I like it
FOSS is just software… it’s literally what’s that acronym means.
Edit: imagine downvoting the truth because it slapped you in the face. Hope you all get a fucking welt from that reality check.
Yeah you gotta have FOSH
Because the last S in FOSS stands for software?

Thank you, Snoopy for jlai.lu team.
Who sharted in your coffee this morning?
Beeing excited about parts of tech does not warrant you to be a grumpy old man.
Also RISC-V exists and there are laptops, there you go
They are not amazing in performance but it is pretty amazing that they exist at all.

Any laptop can be a FOSS laptop.
A truly foss laptop would be repairable with readily available hardware.
Almost all are not.
FOSS just stands for “free and open source software”. While repairability fits in with the ethos, it’s a separate issue.
firmware is software, which often powers hardware 🙄
