  • Well I tried writing it with my tongue, but got saliva everywhere.

  • I tried Gnome a few times, last time maybe 3 years ago, but it just is not the right environment for me. It feels strange and everything is so complicated (most likely because I'm not used to it) and it is so limited when it comes to features and customization.

    My first graphic OS was GEOS on the C64 back then, followed by Amiga Workbench, then different flavours of Windows. Using Linux with KDE just feels natural, it has the same usage paradigms and flows as all the OS/Environments I used before.

    I had to use MacOSX for some time at work and I had the same issues with it that I had with Gnome, everything was a fight, nothing felt right or was at the place where it has to be.

  • Maybe delta chat could be the right thing? https://delta.chat/

    It uses email technology to implement the secure chat

  • That Hurds 😜

  • Yes, but the centralization runs so much deeper! We should ditch the centralized linux kernel and create at least 10 completely new kernels that are barely compatible to each other but will ensure our freedom and provide choice to the community!

  • One of the many benefits of having open source drivers, like RADV

  • Ok cool, I was not aware of that page. Thank you!

  • Preamble: The following is only a extreme example to illustrate a core problem. It doesn't show or represents my personal opinion.

    Ok, the UDHR has the right to life, does that mean that no doctor or clinic who is pro-abortion should be allowed to use or work on FOSS Software? A lot of people would say that abortion is in hard conflict with the right to life and with that against the declaration of human rights.

    Having a declaration of rights only helps with the groundwork but all the Details are a huge mess and often include lots of devils.

  • Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) into law on October 13, 2025.

    It is a valid law, it only has a postponed start date of January 2027 to give everyone time to get their Systems ready.

  • In advance of what? The law is already enacted, and the time until it gets active is exactly there for preparation and development.

    It would be in advance if he had done it when the law was still in the plan phase, but that is way done.

  • It is not complying in advance, it is beeing prepared for when the law becomes active and binding.

  • This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots

  • as far as I read the law, but i am neither a lawyer or even american, are those Option only needed for Systems with users and a user, as defined by the same law, is

    (i) “User” means a child that is the primary user of the device.

    The law says nothing about Systems that don't have such a "user", or at least i could not find anything.

    So, there could be a valid argument that the law does differentiate.

    • Providing courses for kids to learn linux? Not longer possible
    • Providing older, but still perfectly fine running, Computers with Linux to low incoming or otherwise in need families? You are now a criminal!

    Systems have to be ready and in place when the law becomes bindig and active, it is to late to beginn with the work then.

  • Because it is not only one dumb state but also multiple countries with such laws, either already active or as plans.

  • They will not ban it on Servers or for Corporate use, but ban it in youth Centers, in schools, in public libraries, and everywhere else where kids could have access to Computers. This will create another generation of people who only know close source Systems, most likely from Microsoft, who will have no issues with making their Systems compliant to the bindig laws.

  • I like to create partitions with specific max sizes, you can't do that with btrfs subvolumes unfortunately. It is possible to set a quota but that can have a major performance impact with btrfs so it is not really a valid Option.

    Thats why I shy away from using btrfs subvolumes.
