For actual tutorials the Wiki is the best choice.
Reviews etc. I always found pointless, and esp. with Arch because of its user-centricity: each install will be different.
FWIW I’ve been using it for 10 years and the only gripe I have is that my hardware is getting old while Arch isn’t.
The one I’m using right now of course!
I’m saddened to think that altruism in software has gone to the gutter
Yeah me too but it’s been a long time coming. Ubuntu started it decades ago by replacing the altruism* with a warm and fuzzy “sense of community” while exploiting the enthusiasm of largely unpaid coders, Google certainly has done this for a long while, and by now it’s just how you do your basic FOSS Kickstarter campaign.
All that really brings is “more customers”, and doG knows that’s not what the whole of GNU/Linux needs.
Over the years I have developed a sense for how projects present themselves before choosing one that suits my needs. Because the sane ones, both feet on the ground types, that do GPL and accept donations (or sometimes offer paid support), those still exist, old and new.
* a form of altruism btw that does not exclude egoism!
Ah, OK. No, of course not. I was thinking more about hobby developers.
But somebody else already pointed it out: MIT makes a project more attractive for investors. Follow the $£€
Maybe there could be another reason why people choose MIT to begin with:
When you start a new repo on github it makes suggestions which license to use, and I bet many people can’t be arsed to think about it and just accept what they’re offered. [My memory is a little patchy since I very rarely use github anymore, but I definitely remember something like this.] And maybe github tends to suggest MIT.
That said, please undestand that many, many git platforms exist and there is no reason at all to choose one of the two that actually have the word git in them.
getting rid of the gpl is the motivation behind e.g. companies sponsoring clang/llvm so hard right now
And there it is. Follow the money.
Avatar checks out.
we could modify the desktop environment and make it waaaaay lighter by getting rid of jpg or png icons and just using pure svg on it
That’s already happening.
You can also change the main color of many SVGs (icons or even desktop backgrounds) with one simple edit, one command, one click.
In web sites, you can assign CSS classes to SVG graphics and thus e.g. change their color according to a theme.
That’s my extent of fiddling with it.
IIRC they also use fonts the same way CSS/HTML does.
BTW, there are situations where an SVG is significantly larger than a corresponding raster image. It depends on the content.
Reddit was already a nieche social media platform.
was niche
So, h264 video playback at 1080px works flawlessly, and flac audio. What about
Thanks. Does it support multiple accounts? How are remote calendars & contacts integrated into KDE generally, or kmail specifically?
Long transfer (possibly over network), you start wondering what’s going on. All you have to go on is a bar that doesn’t move. Would be useful to get more info in situations like these.
One of these days, I will switch to KDE.
My OS paradigm started off as a super-lightweight desktop around Openbox, but more and more I got forced to pull in Gnome dependencies to the point that I switching those to KDE dependencies probably wouldn’t make a dent in performance.
Speaking of which, what’s KDE’s mail client like?
We do not collect data from sites and users as claimed by A_norny_mousse@feddit.org.
I have a faint inkling of how a service like yours would work and I do not see any way it could work without doing just that. Since both users and site owners need to create an account.
Seriously stop protesting so much. It makes you look bad.
No misconceptions on my side.
Your business is about three things:
Both these things are what makes the hype around web privacy/anonymity.
You pinky swear that you don’t sell or otherwise abuse personal data, but you still get class A data about which users visit and deeply interact with which site.
Why should I lay all my eggs in one basket in the first place?
Of course the same could be said about a secondary or tertiary email provider but then quite a few exist who are at least as trustworthy as your solution.
I said your business is about three things; I think it’s easy to see that the first two lead to you growing your business.
About your elaborate emoji- and buzzword-laden replies, let me reply with Shakespeare: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
People have every right and reason to be extremely skeptical about offers like these.
BTW I deleted one of my comments because I realized I was wrong. That seems to have rubbed you the wrong way?

Regarding those screenshots:
But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal .io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?
I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.
I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.
Also I could not find a link to the git repo.
edit: according to OP’s answer it is as I thought. Yet another company that collects data both on sites and their visitors. Another iteration of the good old Free model a lá Google.
edit2: my personal recommendation is still that people get themselves at least one extra email account with plus-addressing. From a trusted provider of course.
edit3: an option for true aliases would of course be better
According to this, for me it would be Ubuntu 10.04. It was my final step away from $PROPRIETARY_OS, way back when.
Or, you know, all of them.
In case anyone had the same kneejerk reaction: no, this is not about privacy etc. Just performance, according to OOP.
Still, this reads like a reaction to a recent overblown debacle.
edit: no, it actually does say “hardened security” in the README, lol, but the whole project seems to boil down to some compiler flags.

Let’s say it together: No, it isn’t
