IKR? Why every one ignores BSD? They are fully functional systems suitable for casual use cases.😁

Don’t look for a solution that is technical where the problem is mental.
That’s fair, but come to think of it, the architecture of the CPU doesn’t really say anything about privacy. Someone can build an RISC-V chip but sneak in telemetry, or you can build yourself a x86_64 CPU and be 100% no telemetry. It’s about the manufacturer, not the architecture.
I don’t think you can ever be 100% sure that the CPU you’re running on is telemetry-free unless you have those kick-ass X-ray machines and examine it yourself. Building your trust on top of something else you deem trustworthy though, is practical. Billions of people are running Intel/AMD off-the-shelf CPUs, and there are perhaps millions specialists in them, what is the chance that a backdoor remains hidden?
The same goes for software. How do you know Linux kernel, OpenSSL, Wayland is trustworthy? Because many people use them, and it’s unlikely a backdoor is there. Think about the sheer amount of software the CPU runs. Don’t you think we shall have a greater concern there?
Hopefully this calms your paranoia about hardware a bit.

1·3 months agoTo be frank, not really. What’s so special about us Lemmings? I mean, so many other people brighter and more experienced than us have already shared. Whatever we said here can only be a subset to that at most, then why not just read the old threads.

Yes! I mean, don’t divert the hate of permissive license to Rust. Those are unrelated but now more people hate Rust because of this.
Go through LFS, but just read it, imagine packages being compiled.

Why would you fixate on drag-and-drop specifically like it’s granted? If the software developer developed it, it’s supported; if it wasn’t developed, it doesn’t work. If you’re not happy, open a pull request. You have no right to demand features from open source developers even if you donate.

BSDs are mostly for servers. For personal, “home and office” use the best BSD in regard of hardware support and userbase is FreeBSD.
If you have limited time, please consider buying the BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, MidnightBSD etc.) a coffee once in a while, in order to really wake up some day and see the news of the year of BSD.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Photoshop Style Settings Hotkeys and User Interface for Krita
2·8 months agoI draw in Krita and I am always using a tablet. The tablet has keys on it which can be bound to any key or key combination. I don’t feel the need to use the menu ever.
The tool bar can be and shall be customised to my own habit, therefore plugins to make it exactly like Photoshop also makes no sense to me.
I mean, you can cross-compile to generate a Gentoo rootfs for the embedded system.
I worked on embedded systems for audio devices. I of course endorsed Alpine as well, but with musl as the C library I got weird bugs of stuttering audio output.
With Gentoo I get the option to build my entire system with musl as well, but I would rather have that bug not in my system. That’s what Gentoo offers: options.
By “LFS”, I think you mean Buildroot, practically. Buildroot is also highly customisable, but Buildroot isn’t a distro. Like LFS, there is no way yo update a system, only rebuilding with latest packages. It also does not have flags for the whole system, so you’re on your own if you want to disable, say IPv6, in the whole system.
Being slightly more useful isn’t the only problem AI needs to solve. What about morality issue? Sure, slavery is very useful, but some of you, including me, ban Nestlé products. Why do you not have the same standard with products that are produced by, or assisted in production with AI?
