Sounds like a discussion about if someone likes apples or pears

It’s the misleading exclamation mark. If I see this picture, my impression is that kitty works only with issues on Linux

Usually dmesg should tell you something. If you tried everything you can and the problem is still there, try it on Windows. If it works on Windows, then the gpu should be fine. Then I would try different kernels and maybe also try different drivers.

Of course. I’m not happy about many things, but that doesn’t give me the right to harass somebody.

They are not being harassed, but are being shown in this way that their intentions and behavior are more than just shit

Pointing out something politely is very different from jumping on a bandwagon and spamming an issue, or creating meme issues and meme pull requests. We should be better than that.

Is that really what we want? Anything slightly popular making a misstep to be hounded by an online mob?

This is not a misstep. They just don’t want to hire developers for Winamp and rather try to outsource the work to others for no cost. And then they call it copyleft while forbidding anyone to do anything else with the source code except sending them pull requests. That’s disrespectful, rude and simply shameless. This is fully calculated, not a misstep. If it was just a misstep, then I would agree with you about these meme pull requests and so on. Saying this, I absolutely understand why the receive such “feedback”.

This whole thing sounds more like a way to get some pull requests to fix their product for free. That’s not open source. The source code is simply available, that’s all. In the first run they even prohibited to fork it (!!!) while it is necessary to work on this project. They may fixed it, but you are still not allowed to do anything with it, only provide free work. Of course people are not happy with it.

They should delete this repo and change their license if they want contributors for free. Or just hire programmers for money.

You described a problem you have with an OS you use, which I fix every day at work. No Linux, just Windows. It is the most normal thing, that drivers might not work or the Hardware is faulty. We often have to change something, try different things and you don’t need Linux to tinker around, the Windows environment offers enough opportunity to do so. And your problem sounds like a driver problem or maybe faulty hardware. It has nothing to do with Linux.

You definitely don’t work in IT, otherwise you wouldn’t mentioned printing. Printers are evil beings itself and these fuckers don’t care wich OS you use, they just don’t want to work properly. Hardware supports depends on the kernel. That’s normal, Windows 7 also doesn’t support newest hardware. There is still nothing specific Linux. Regarding UI: KDE Neon is great, try it.

Yeah, Windows has problems. But those arise more typically for advanced users (and that’s including Windows 11 being more and more broken over time).

Would this be true, I probably would need to change my profession.

But until the more boring stuff gets worked out, it’ll still be hard for it to be used more commonly, and thus harder for it to get more funding and usage as well.

Because of your ethernet problem? I understand that you are mad for the problems you have now, but I wouldn’t use your experience with the ethernet NIC as a basis for the question how good all Linux distributions are usuable for everyday work.

Idk, maybe it’s just Debian based distros these days and I’m behind in the curve. Fedora based ones like Bazzite haven’t given me issues so far at least.

Look, drivers get updated or introduced in newer Linux kernels. You could decide which distribution you want to use depending on the kernel. amdgpu got fucked up since a specific release and my RX580 won’t work if it loads, so I am still using an older kernel. In Windows the drivers crashes often sadly. You need to look how well a specific hardware works and then decide which kernel you should use. We always do this on work with Windows and it is really needed, because manufactures sometimes don’t really care about there drivers and compatibility with newer Windows 10 versions or Windows 11.

This is probably also the reason why you got downvoted so much, because you describe a generic, OS independent problem and then you blame Linux kernel for it and all Linux distributions, while you are using a specific distribution named Linux Mint. If you replace Linux with Window in your rant, it would be the same way wrong. But I hope that your problem gets fixed. You are free to describe your problem in specific communities, they probably might find a solution with you together.

How is this a explicit Linux problem?

Isnt that something PHP always was able to do? Maybe a title like “tool for uploading/downloading files in PHP” would be better and you could add in in the README.md that it doesnt use JavaScript.

but Im seeing syntax that Ive never seen in my life

Which languages do you know? What is your background?

What is wrong with “var test int”? There is no need for a return type, if the function returns nothing. Thats the language design and I think it is easy to remember.

func(u User) hi ()

u is something like self in Python and hi() is a method of User.

Please explain why do you think something is too messy, also with which languages you have already worked.

When I have problems like this, I start to question whether I can program at all and whether I should perhaps change my profession. This often happens when I’m tired or overworked. I make stupid mistakes and assume that the cause of the problem is something complex.

Just a guess, but I think it is also somehow connected to an handler object

Anarchist mainly. This here are great works from Lenin and Plechanov, which explain it well:

“Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder

Anarchism and Socialism

To fully grasp how containers actually work, you should read the Linux kernel documentation on namespaces and permission control via capabilities.

Hmm, I thought the aspect of demystification would also include a brief explanation on, how namespaces and capabilities work.

Trans rights for liberals mean, that the bourgeois which takes the surplus value can be trans

Has your cryptography professor something to say to the crypto wars? It was not a long time ago. How democratic is it to weaken encryption algorithms or only allow to export weak ones? Why are there worries about the nistp256/nistp512p curves? If Europe is not happy with end-to-end encryption, then it is only cause of democratic reasons, or?

In my experience, the wording is not “I am attracted to this person”, it is rather done in a more degrading way. It is ok to say to your friend, that you are attracted to someone. But it can get quite annoying if a person starts rating every other person. I can somehow understand this behaviour if someone is experiencing puberty. Hormones are a hell of a thing.

It gets far more inappropriate if it is done in a political context. Likey being part of an organisation/party and some comrades are behaving like they are on Tinder.

Op should simply tell their friends, that they should stop doing it if it is a problem.

I am more disgusted, that they are here implying, that national unity is something good. Reading from them, that the division of the German national unity has to be stopped, gives me some 1933 vibes.

It’s not security debt, it’s just general technical debt.

I would also say, that this is just technical debt. I also fully understand, that there are things like breaking changes. I remember clearly when we used asyncore in the past for Python at work and then it became deprecated. It was still possible to use it for a long time, but a change was needed. Such breaking changes caused work and are not nice. Especially if it is a big software.

On the other side, I am not happy if I buy software or hardware, which has probably insecure dependencies. I understand the developers, I am also one, and I know that many things are not under their control. I am also not blaming them. But it is a no-go if something new is sold with 10-year-old OpenSSH Server, 15-year-old curl or other things.

But I am not taking exotic vulnerabilities that seriously. Like, if you need specific constellations, so this is somehow hackable.

The best thing I always hear is that Putin is the cause of the rise of the far right in Germany. And he wants to divide the german nation!

The dynamics in families differ a lot. But your question could also apply to any other situation, where you have to interact with people you probably disagree with on many things. You should question yourself if it is worth participating in such discussions then. There is nothing to gain if you are facing people who don’t want to have a proper discussion. Especially if it is just a circlejerk. In such situations, where I am somehow forced to participate (Like someone asks me directly) I simply say, that I disagree with them and that I don’t want to discuss this topic. You could say, that you don’t want to speak about negative things or politics generally.

That’s what I do if there is no point in discussing some topics. “I disagree with you, but I’m also really not in the mood to talk about it”.
