Just do a quick simple sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop

*yo’ure

Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.

VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

It’s the Secret Service of Ukraine. Dissidents don’t join the Secret Service in the first place, and the people ‘purged’ got treason charges.

No one does firing squad nowadays. It’s either poison or defenestration.

RISC-V is not proprietary enough.

So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.

The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.

Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.

If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.

That’s what the asteroid belt is for!

It’s false that you cannot sell GPL-licensed work.

Busybox was quickly replaced by BSD-licensed Toybox everywhere for that exact reason.

Copyleft licenses (like the Gnu General Public License) mandate that all derivative works remain free.

This is false. It’s perfectly legal to take GPL-licensed work, modify it, and sell it. As long as the work itself does not reach the general public, you don’t need to release it’s source code to the public (e.g. your work for the military, you take money for your work, and provide source code to them, but not release it publicly).

I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

It’s made worse by the fact C++11 made a lot of solutions for the deep problems in the language. As the C++ tradition dictates, the problems themselves are carefully preserved for backward compatibility, the solutions are like a whole different language.

And Lisp is small - the first Google result provides a Lisp interpreter in 117 lines of Python code.

C++ is OVERWHELMINGLY SUPERIOR, if you ask any professional C++ developer.

Nope. They don’t care about privacy, as long as there’s no lawsuit.

Samyang noodles are okay, I just add a bit more water than specified on the packaging.

Beware that you need to boil the noodles for 3 minutes, they are not instant.

TIL someone ported the collection of classic Linux screen savers to Android.

I’m in the same boat, I have (or rather had) published a few Android games which I don’t have time to update anymore, and Google had been unpublishing them one by one.

I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.

Debian 12. It just works, except for buggy Wayland, thankfully KDE still supports Xorg.

The first one is a fancy CPU warmer. The second one will play loud noise through your headphones, and setsid will make sure you can’t stop it with Ctrl-C.

There was a thread about console commands seen in movies or TV, when the actors need to do some ‘hacking’ on camera. And the most common one was just installing updates to your Linux distribution of choice.
