If you are not talking about the past, present and future of Hannah Montana Linux I’m not even talking to you.
“Rewrite the internet in C”
We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)
Does node have wasm support yet? Corporations have been looking for a way to stack performance degradation on the web to an arbitrary degree. The Node running on wasm running on node running on wasm running on node running on wasm running in the browser stack could get so hot.
This would somehow be worse than JS
Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.
windows […] programming.

People drink the Microsoft Kool aid, it’s called money, they generally want it.
Plebs…
It is said that the true linux developer can survive for months at a time on nothing but a piece of dead skin from a callus on his foot and the energy of the community-maintained free and open-source software
We don’t use open-source around here pardner.

They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)
s/librebooted/canoebooted/
it’s honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.
so they went from having:
- osboot
- libreboot
to having:
- canoeboot
- libreboot
All they seemed to have done is confuse.
Canoeboot was made as a joke to make fun of OSS enthusiasts.
corebooted chromebooks are more libre
The problem is installing Linux on them is a nightmare and bring a risk of bricking them.
also a lot of them have soldered storage of like 16 gigs, which just isn’t enough for most ppl
I like Ubuntu 😐
Don’t worry, once the others graduate school, break their arch install, and don’t have the free time to reinstall it, they’ll like Ubuntu too. 🙂
yea, no thanks - “the grind” mindset is just capitalism worming itself into your brain
yup, but the meme makes fun of that mindset and the original meme template in my opinion
We live in a capitalist society though.
I am the Excel/Ubuntu person 😳
I still love you
Meh. I’d say we tie him to a post and burn the heretic.
But with love.
Just a tad.
Every day this sub is in the active feed and I could not be more removed from the intended audience lol
This will continue until you’re part of the intended audience.

Okay, it won’t stop even then.
honestly open source software is important.
I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don’t think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.
Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?
LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.
Where Nix/Lix/Auxolotl/NixOS?
I’m running NixOs as a daily driver for a while now. It’s the first time I want to actively convince people to try out a distro. But then I realise most people around me would not want to bother learning how to configure it.
Same. It’s very elegant. But yeah: the lacking documentation makes the learning curve way too steep for most people.
Are you using this format in an un-ironic way?.. Why
nah, but in hindsight it may be a bit too subtle
Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.
Ubuntu sucks. Not because it’s for newbies, it’s because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.
Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.
average 5 year ubuntu user
Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor…
Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn’t a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you’re not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you’ll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.
i think i have a 2 day streak of the twin towers being mentioned in a day.
Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell
Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? Average user age on lemmy is more than old enough for the majority of users to have been using linux pre 9-11.
am a long term open source dev and contributor…
That is a flex, kudos. I’ve been dreaming about contributing to an open source project for a while now.
After having to use Ubuntu at work for > 1 year, I find it hard to endure. But of course, maybe it was just the computers being slow, except for Debian KDE working perfectly well on them.
Isn’t it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?
You’re affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I’m not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you’re a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.
How you feel about it is upto you.
Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?
I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It’s probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don’t envy, but pity you.
I clearly didn’t put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.
And no its not THE problem, I’m able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.
Ubuntu is spyware.
Pure FUD
They’re owned by a for-profit company, they collect data on you by default, they’ve already had privacy issues in the past, and they include non-free software by default. I would rather have a beginner start off with Debian or Trisquel. We shouldn’t be trapping people into these distros because then they’ll potentially get too comfortable and not make the switch. This is coming from someone who did start off on Ubuntu. Sure, it’s more convenient, but we should be teaching people to value freedom over convenience. Even if the data collection is minimal, it’s still data.
What the fuck even is this meme lmao?
Me and OP can compare paychecks, I’ve never used Linux in my life.
