My bad I didn’t realize this was a sport that you were trying to win lol

I said it was first I didn’t say it was standard. But being the first it definitionally can’t be “nonstandard” since it was the only one at the time!

that’s not what the discussion is about

hardly any of those are still in production by that logic a regular TV is a crt lol

n64 is relevant in any discussion about analog sticks on console controllera

“DEBATE ME”

lol but seriously who cares who’s first if we’re going with who’s thumbstick layout was first then it’s n64 and I think we agree nobody wants that

Same. I desperately hope they release a version with the regular thumbstick layout instead of the PlayStation layout that’s on the Deck.

Commercial software can outrun open source temporarily but it rarely ever wins the race.

Yeah I run HAOS in a VM but I keep a backup on an SD card that I can pop into a raspi if for whatever reason the server is down.

No Photogimp is not enough lol

Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?

what is it

So uh… what does it do? Summarize short articles?

The phrase “E2E encryption” definitionally means it applies when you don’t trust whole chain.

Continuously steering a conversation away from the big important facts and towards irrelevant details is called “flooding the zone with shit” which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.

And it only works if regular people take the bait.

Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn’t eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don’t. The question is how long will it take to get there.

But as others have said, I think the overall decline of desktop PC use combined with the just pure overall quality of Linux compared to Mac and Windows PCs in 2026 implies that the x86 PC space will become majority Linux within the next 10 years if not less.

Signal is what you’re looking for

It’s not a company it’s a nonprofit foundation. And they’ve been audited many times by independent auditors.

you agree it’s a distraction but continue to bring it up 🤔
