OpenClaw’s whole thing is that you give it unrestricted access to your Computer and online accounts. It’s made for people who do not want to think about safety.

I will keep laughing at Americans till they manage to get their broken democracy to establish an ID system like every other country.

Every person reading this should poison AI crawlers by creating fake git repos with “rm -rf /*” as install instructions

Automated TPM2 LUKS setup might be the one thing that can get me to switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE.

So when do I get the dress?

The only thing I really miss about visual studio is the automatic profiler. Everything else just felt archaic, bloated, slow, and unintuitive. Adding one line in cmake often does the same thing as clicking through five submenus which never once got updated since 2012.

No self-respecting UI designer would ever want to work on that dinosaur of a codebase. The GIMP team is simply unable to do what Blender did, even if they made the UI their number one priority.

Isn’t C just wonderful?

You might have issues with permissions for serial ports on some distros, but there are loads of easy to follow guides for that. Linux definitely handles them better than windows though. I never had issues where they just stop working like on Windows.

The “liberal” German coalition is being actively hostile as usual…

Oh lawd, another thing to check out

Both GIMP 3 RC1 and FreeCAD 1.0 in the same month, damn

Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?

Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

Same! I also have a separate directory for college assignments and stuff. Gonna set up separate gitconfigs for both soon, so there is a smaller chance of mixing up my credentials

People on Hacker News are speculating that they implicitly define forking as “taking the project in a different direction in an independent repo”. The Github TOS say that everyone has the right to create a fork of any public repo in the Github sense of the word. It’s all a huge mess…

They have the audacity to use the term copyleft for that bullshit license… It doesn’t mean anything unless you have the right to fork it.

Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons

Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

I bet the others already gave a lot of good advice, but there is one thing I wand to emphasize. The way in which you install software matters more on Linux than on any other operating system. You are meant to install it through your distros package manager, which you will most likely use through the software management GUI of your distro. Do not download any executables from websites directly, unless you are absolutely sure that:

• They are made to work on your distro
• They come from a trustworthy source
• You have complete and up to date instructions on how to install them

Sometimes you might need to add additional repositories to your package manager, the same rules apply there. You might also run into things called Flatpaks and Snaps, these are universal package formats and another great option for installing software. Flatpaks work out of the box in a lot of distros. Number one rule there is to stick to things that are marked as verified, unless you have a good reason to trust them. These universal formats might be integrated in the GUI software manager too, this varies across distros.

If you follow those rules and keep your system updated, I don’t expect you will have much trouble with Linux.
