There used to be x86 Android phones. But they kept that port going even after the phones went away because it was good for development on x86 machines. You could just run a VM instead of having to emulate an arm ISA.

Not even, amd on both my laptop and desktop, but still lots of issues. None of them major, but it adds up.

while they happily stick to the X they know

I mean, I’d love to, but…

Gnome forced me onto Wayland a few weeks ago and I’ve been dealing with issues ever since. Some issues even affecting the most basic level tasks like typing text, imagine dealing with that in 2025. Following your analogy, if the Uber with the fancy new transmission came to a halt every kilometre, you’d care too.

And xorg is older than it appears, as it was forked from the much older XFree86 over licensing disagreements. XFree86 started in 1991 according to Wikipedia.

More like:
No system package -> installing from user repos -> appimage -> flatpak -> creating your own package -> using a VM with a distro that has the package -> not installing package

If after that you still don’t have it, it wasn’t meant to be it’s probably just not very good software.

I use quadlets instead - it’s part of podman and lets you manage containers as systemd services. Supports automatic image updates and gives you all the benefits of systemd service management. There’s a tool out there that will convert a docker compose config into quadlet unit files giving you a quick start, but I just write them by hand.

Cantarell is indeed nice. Gnome switched to Inter recently, but I could only stomach it for a few minutes before switching back to ol’ Cant.

I was the pond.

Well, you have to own one of these things when you’re a king, you know.

The thing I’m supposed to be doing is on workspace 3…

I recently needed to build newer versions of some packages for Debian. Now, they’re go based so the official packaging is super complicated and eventually I decided to try and make my own from scratch. After a few more hours of messing with the official tooling I start thinking “there must be a better way.”

And sure enough, after a bit of searching I found makedeb which allows you to make debs from (almost) regular PKGFILEs. Made the task a million times simpler.

“Mad as a bicycle!”

As if the original comic wasn’t reductive and unnecessarily dismissive enough, you’ve somehow made it worse. Let people make things if they think they have a shot at it, please.

They’re going after the anger dollar, that’s a good dollar. We’ve done research.

fzf makes ctrl-r really nice so you use it more often, especially if you use tmux as well.

Unfortunately, almost all of them are mediatek based, so while that makes rooting easier, there’s very little chance of getting a custom ROM running on them.

But they weren’t just “typing it on a computer”, they were typesetting it in latex, and trying to make it look grandiose. But they just showed to everyone in the know that they don’t know what they’re doing.

I think the meme is backwards. It should be one serious person in a meeting of clowns and puppets.

Here’s a better example: the use of GPL software (primarily Linux and busybox) by Linksys when they made their wrt54g router was used to compel them into releasing the source code of the firmware for that router. Subsequent GPL enforcement by the SFC made Cisco release full firmware sources for a whole series of Linksys routers. Thanks to those sources openwrt, ddwrt and several other open source router firmwares developed.

I can now run three openwrt routers in my home purely thanks to the GPL. If those projects had been MIT licensed, Linksys and Cisco could have just politely told everyone to go suck a lemon because they would have had no obligation to release anything.
