Lmao

:(

May she rest in peace.

I agree. Though the pragmatist in me also thinks it’s for the better for things to change slowly, as bad as that feels. It kinda feels like social progress moving too quickly just results in more intense backlash.

Broader culture has to be able to keep up with the change and if it outpaces them it seems like people reject the changes and it can cement the problems in place as people dig their heels in :/

I appreciate that he pushed things forward though. There’s a lot more change still that needs to happen- I’m not holding my breath but I really hope the next pope actually carries that forward.

I assume it’s probably a colossal process to uproot and move infrastructure, but personally I see that eventual hassle as being better than the project never getting enough momentum in the first place.

I think once you actually have a project and audience you can make all the most ideal choices but they do come with costs that really matter when you’re just starting things

I recognize I’m no expert on running these projects though

For all intents and purposes different Linux distros are different operating systems, built with some number of overlapping components (including the Linux kernel after which they’re named) so unfortunately no :/

Best of luck to you in whatever changes you decide you wanna pursue!

Is it better for them to build an open source app and host their meetings on Zoom, a platform familiar to the audience they’re hoping to bring, or for them to just not, and for local cooperative banks to all build their own in-house proprietary banking apps with no open source option existing?

I’d really like it if we stopped letting perfect be the enemy of good. My credit union uses an app that’s just a webview wrapper for their website. I haven’t taken a look at the project but a native app built as an open source community project would be fucking awesome, regardless of whether they host video meetings with zoom or jitsi.

They want their project to succeed. A free software project that dies doesn’t actually provide anyone with freedoms; hosting with the more well known and familiar video hosting software when they have no existing audience is the right choice.

Yeah, as someone with a circadian rythm disorder DST time changes kinda destroy me. Every single year, twice a year.

I’m hoping the US manages to get rid of it, we had a bill to do just that get unexpectedly far, before stalling out I think :/

Sending love from the US, y’all take care :)

That’s very fair! I was concerned by that video too, though I would point out that if I remember right, the games in that video don’t work on non-steamdeck devices including if you install steamos on a laptop or desktop

There kind of is though. I’m not here to argue it’s enough to unseat windows but it is markedly different

From a technical standpoint it’s just another linux distro with some nice tweaks for gaming but from a human perspective it has brand recognition, familiarity, a known company behind it. Those things do really matter for adoption. No idea if that’d be anywhere near enough, I’m not inclined to make predictions, but it does have explicit advantages over consumers hearing they can get a laptop with Ubuntu or fedora on it

You should cross-post to !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I’m sure folks there would love to see it!

Wasn’t sure if there were better places to post this, feel free to cross-post if you know other fitting communities :)
