It’s the language of GNU. And a scheme. That’s also why you would choose Haunt. It’s probably not for you.

If you’re into GNU/Guile Scheme, there is also Haunt: https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html

Yes.

What languages and patterns will be considered woke?

For sure memory safety and dependent types. C++ will probably be shoved down our throats.

I stopped using Nextcloud a couple of years ago after it corrupted my encrypted storage. I’m giving it a try again because of political emergency. But we sure need a long term replacement. Written in Rust or some other sane language.

Just buy a Steam Deck instead.

Quit?

Agree! Tumbleweed is by far the best stable rolling release distribution as of February 2025.

Nix and Guix are the only alternatives IMO. Given that you’re into modern hipster distributions and want to feel special.

Arch doesn’t add any value and is pretty much last season.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is the distribution for you.

There is no reason to use Arch at all ever. It has a good wiki and thats pretty much it. If you want an advanced modern distribution you should go with Nix or Guix. Arch is very much last season and doesn’t add any value over “normal” distributions.

EDIT: after doing some reading on Cachy, I change my mind. It seems like a good choice because of the kernel optimizations and the rollback support. I would still prefer Tumbleweed, but mostly because I nurture an irriational dislike for anything Arch.

Unless you’ve solved the issue by know, I would recommend to install openSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s an “beginner friendly” “stable” rolling release distribution with rollback support. After the first update, everything should just work.

Almost certainly the game isn’t running on the GPU. Use rocm-smi to see which processes are using the discrete GPU. Should be similar to nvidia-smi.

Also, check the Proton status of your games at ProtonDB.

Yes. But I’m worried about Big Tech hijacking ActuvityPub and that they enforce the end of net neutrality. EU regulations and investments is our only hope right now.

Steel Division 2 and Hearts of Iron 4.

Good. Never been able to make mypy work as intended.

Better federation and search. Make it easier for content creators and instance runners to monetize. Make it easier to script your own feed/recommendations.

All of the above is true for all software on the fediverse. But monetization especially for PeerTube. Pay to watch, donations and ads should all be options in the official implementation. Because of the high cost of running a large high bandwidth instance (if that wasn’t obvious).

Seems like the only ones who really benefit from PeerTube right now are right-wing extremists. The only large Swedish instances are far-right. And they are big because of content supply and demand.

So I was correct. Thanks!

That’s great!

Yeah, maybe that was a bad example. I believe my point is that if the quality of the product and/or the number of users is large enough, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a viable business plan yet.

The big risk when it comes to the fediverse is that it still is so small that big tech could just highjack the whole thing, and it wouldn’t even be a bullet on the weekly board agenda. I.e. it’s still pocket money we’re taking about.

Exactly. And there are countless of popular open source projects which are funded by VC. Many of which I have no idea how they plan to make money. Astral (the creator of ruff and uv) is one recent example.

Just say that you use Rust and AI, and the VC will come.

Instead of writing the same answer to all sceptics, I’ll just write one answer here:

I believe that you greatly overestimate the rationality of VC at a micro level and greatly underestimate the number of business cases that can be made on top of popular open standards. Developing a fediverse software like Pixelfed is basically free if you’re with the big money. The question is if it will hurt your other investments and strategy. Right now it looks like the answer is “no”. The risk of putting too many eggs in the oligarch basket seems quite high.

Is it not possible to make money of the internet because you don’t own the infrastructure and the standards are open?
