  • The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.

    1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it’s all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it’s as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.










  • I love the enthusiasm but it’s funny to say posting to a platform that makes copies on other servers and opens up APIs that make it very easy to scrape and build a profile with a little scripting has any privacy.

    It’s still better than meta or Twitter but your not private on these platforms. The companies that might make accounts to advertise from can easily be blocked and need to try harder to actually get your attention.

    Just be weary AI and ad companies are probably already scraping these platforms and it’s thanks to the open nature and the inherent flaws of modern monolithic social media design.










  • Yeah, I don’t have foss painted on my chest but I like the idea. It’ll become more mainstream once people figure out a system to get devs paid and reduce the drawbacks of someone cloning a project, injecting ads, and providing it as a free alternative. If all those things and the issue of paying people to provide professional support for companies using it get solved. I can see a bright future for foss.

    EDIT: I’ve also heard graphene is is pretty good, I like my android auto though.
