2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Any gui rendering is bloat

    [–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Really, the metric we should be looking at is (f+a)/b where f is some subjective weighted measure of functionality, a of aesthetic value and b describes the bloat.

    [–] Melody@lemmy.one 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    No, (f+(0.5*a))/b.

    Aesthetics should never get as many points as functionality.

    1. That's a personal preference. Many people do care about aesthetics and I don't think invalidating their taste is fair. Hence, if you wanted to add factors accounting for that preference, you'd have to define some additional variable for it.
    2. If a is a subjective measure of aesthetic value - as it must be, since taste is a subjective thing - you might as well include the factor already.
    3. If a is normalised against some fixed scale, but bloat (having effectively no upper limit) is impossible to normalise, it would be more reasonable to increase f instead in order to model the fact that a larger distro may also come with more functionality.
    4. You don't need the extra parentheses around 0.5*a
    5. We're both fucking nerds and I love it

    The trick is securing a marriage before using Linux, if try the other way around it doesn't work.

    I don't know. I'm pretty sure one of the many ways you can end a marriage is installing Gentoo and saying "I'm just gonna go and compile my kernel." to your significant other, then go to your computer and just never be heard from again.

    I don't date because women are proprietary.
    You can share them with the community, but you can't modify and use them in any way you like.

    First time seeing hate for deepin. What's wrong with it?

    [–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 106 points 1 week ago (8 children)

    It’s by a Chinese company, and collects telemetry on its users via Umeng+, which is a Beijing-based analytics company. Even though it’s open source, the code is large enough that it’s hard to tell if there is anythinf compromising in there from the Chinese government, and/or whether/what data collected by Umeng+ is making it to the Chinese government.

    [–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It's unfortunate, because I really like the DE. Real stand out. If it were more trustworthy, it'd be my first choice.

    First time seeing hate for deepin. What’s wrong with it?

    Western concerns about connections to Chinese government

    Radware's head of threat research has commented on concerns about analytics collected by Deepin, and whether these are sent to the Chinese government: while the CNZZ analytics service has been removed, analytics are still collected, now by "Umeng+".[29] According to cybersecurity lawyer Steven T. Snyder, due to the sheer size of Deepin's codebase, it is impossible to really scrutinize all the code comprising it to be sure the Chinese government doesn't have backdoors.[29] The project does remain fully open source allowing anyone to review, modify or change the code to meet their standards.

    Get back to me when you use a real distro, the Hannah Montana distro is the one true distro.

    For a while the deepin desktop's looked pretty cool. It got old quickly though and it doesn't seem like they are innovating as much.

    I mean, I dual-boot Mint now. And at least you don't come after me for DOS, because that would get me defensive..

    just use Garuda if you are a gamer, Qubes or Tails if you wear tin foil as your hat, Mint or Ubuntu if you barely know anything about computers, Arch or Void if you like to tinker with your system, Slackware or Gentoo if you hate yourself, Alma or Debian testing if you need a secure server, openSuse Tumbleweed or Kde neon if you like KDE and productivity

    [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Slackware or Gentoo if you hate yourself

    The preferred nomenclature is 'learning experience,' thank you very much
