potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·7 days agoI tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·7 days agoIf it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts4·8 days agoYeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.
About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts14·8 days agoYeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that’s so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.
This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.
Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.

Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

I deleted a post because it was the dumbest shit ever written by humanity. I was drunk at the time…
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.world•GNOME's Busy Week With Disabling X11 Session By Default, Greater systemd DependenceEnglish111·9 days agoThe anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.
I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.world•GNOME's Busy Week With Disabling X11 Session By Default, Greater systemd DependenceEnglish111·9 days agoMost healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.
In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.

On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:
Maybe he’s cold. Try coating the fish with algae.
