FLOSS is dumb because it’s too good for us. I haven’t paid for software in ten years. And I could use this great stuff to build bad stuff.

That’s why I refuse to use Linux. It enables a front end of tech stacks for morons to profit from, and sell ideas like state surveillance, AI worker displacement, and other boogey monster tech to audiences gooning for tech to profit from, instead of honoring the purity of open source and what it enables creative young folk to do with it.

FLOSS didn’t radicalize me to create, it radicalized me about worker rights.

AFAIK xfce desktop environment on top of Ubuntu (xubuntu), or any Linux distribution, is considered the best resource utilization option for old hardware.

Will checkout your repos. Thanks for comment. It’s been a breeze to write python and the docstrings are pretty great. I’ve had periods where everything just worked for Sphinx autodoc and then others where it’s just broken for months. Thanks again

Would seriously love someone to rip down Sphinxdoc and put this baby to bed.

In my history of using docstrings, I’ve put maybe 20-40minutes of docs into a 200k+ codebase. It’s super easy.

In my history of using Sphinx autodoc, I’ve spent about 5-10 hours fumbling with Makefiles, configs, and other nightmares and it still has the worst developer experience after about 8 years of using it.

No, Linus will blacklist your MAC address on your next update. Traitor.

Hi, request for comment: how do you feel about GNU guix? Is this the future of package management we wanted?

I’ve used RedHat and Ubuntu and Arch primarily because of the package ecosystem, and security is definitely major concern for most sysadmins (I am not one).

Is guix going to be the future? Thanks

Imagine a toaster with an Archbtw ™ logo on the side, but instead of toast you have floppy diskettes.

Why not Pop!_OS with vanilla Gnome3 and Wayland? It runs snappy and you don’t need the experimental Cosmic desktop.

Pipenv is PyPA/PyPI and also recognizes pyenv version management. Very nice together.

Thanks for cross posting.

Dear Jeff,

love your channel.

I think the biggest gift of Jeff’s channel and others like it in the DiY space outshines far above corporate darlings like LMG and others. The reason I think this about Jeff’s channel is that it is a gift of education on how to relay opinions, media, and data ownership in a world dominated by EULAs and advertising.

What Google and Tech don’t understand is that the content created on those platforms truly isn’t theirs. It may be monetized on those platforms, but the second they start doing things, like feeding digests of political content and reactions to subvert the people and their free speech, the platform becomes part of the digital handcuffs, the “free as in beer” solution that subverts the conversations and the people.

Moreso than LMG or anyone else adjacent in the tech YouTube space, Jeff’s bright smile and your good attitude brings something to the table that these corporations can’t comprehend the value behind: freedom from popularity contents. Freedom from censorship and platform lock-in.

Thanks.
