rolymath··on Bazzite Post-Mortem
This blog post is the only exposure I have to this whole thing, and from it, all I can say for sure is that this post is incredibly immature.
rolymath··on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT
Just no, bro. Take the L and move on.

Your argument was "what makes you think matrix wants to be popular?"

We answered: Their mission statement.

It's a pretty open and shut case. Anything after that is mental gymnastics that I want no part of.

> What seems misplaced is the expectation that Matrix must be popular. Why should it be? It is not your project, and you are not contributing to it. Where does this expectation of its popularity come from?

Brother, what even are you talking about? Have you read their missiom statement? They specifically say they want to maximize the number of users and maximize the number of self hosted networks.

You saying they don't want to be popular is, with all due respect, completely from your ass. Matrix and Elements mission statement has them declaring they want to be as popular as possible.

rolymath··on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT
OK great. I guess you answered why Matrix is not more popular.

No I mean they were recently forced to unbundle by the EU or face monopoly claims. I guess they saw people paid anyway and unbundled everywhere else.

I would argue that villainy and "bad people" is an overcomplication of ignorance.

If we equate being bad to being ignorant, then those people are ignorant/bad (with the implication that if people knew better, they wouldn't do bad things)

I'm sure I'm over simplifying something, looking forward to reading responses.

rolymath··on Ask HN: What's the best virtual Linux desktop experience on macOS for devs?
Keeps telling me to upgrade my icloud for one. I don't want to. Perhaps you get no ads you have complied with all of them.

It seemed like you rejected the proposal before you knew what it was, and then looked for reasons to justify your decision.

rolymath··on Linux boxes via SSH: suspended when disconected
I would use this with expensive GPU instances so I don't forget them running. Not so useful for cheap instances.
rolymath··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
What an incredibly entitled message. If you know what anthropic should and shouldn't do, go start your own AI company.

Computers themselves are a fad.

rolymath··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Critical thinking comes later, not before. So religion doesn't erode them, but delays them.

Secondly, tribal behavior is strengthened through sports teams, college allegiances, rep vs dem party lines and many other things, with the latter of those being the main reason.

Thirdly, the dems were very pro zionist while Trump was able to maintain deniability. This swung a lot of dem voters.

Lastly, Kamala got something like 0 votes in the primary. Wishing she would win the general election was delusional. Dems should themselves in the foot twice vs Trump with Kamala and when they betrayed Bernie to help Hillary.

You should engage in some critical thinking yourself instead of blasting your insecurities over the internet. Your media diet (bet $1000 that reddit is a big part) needs a do-over.

rolymath··on FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – configuring ZFS mirror (RAID1)
Zero mentions of btrfs?

For anyone reading in the future: ZFS is better for multi-disk setups. Btrfs for e.g laptop etc.

Fedora and Arch use btrfs by default now if I remember correctly.

Hardly a comment worth singing up to HN to post.

I think he's joking I.e that command won't delete what's on the openai servers. But I could be wrong.

VS Code official docs explain the incompatibility between kdewallltd6 and vs code.
rolymath··on Aurora: The Linux-based ultimate workstation
It's literally in the VS Code official docs.

Maybe try research instead of reactionary comments.

1) using KDE and saying this is for developers is a little strange for me considering VS Code has issues with Kdewallet 6. Has this distro done anything about that?

2) Including homebrew in a Linux distro is a criminal offense normally punished by public flogging.
