  • You're venting your anger on the wrong target mate. I am a developer with no diploma, never have been in any managing role (so not higher either) and always refuse to participate in any big evil corp (so say goodbye to high salary).

    Other than this I am contributing to different FOSS project and specifically more interested in GPL than business-oriented MIT.

    I don't need nor feel like downvoting you, you are totally missing the spot : the majority of my work was done be a team of 1, me, and sometimes up to 5, I have worked with designer here and there and it was so much better for me who interact way differently than 99% of the people (emacs user here).

    In general don't think any executives would waste their time on Lemmy, they're busy enough with their Nazi Twitter.

  • UX is also about code : think about behavior, you may want to prevent any action before one is finished. This is UX and need to be coded.

    An other example : I hate how kde's file explorer "dolphin" freezes completely while loading a remote storage. There is no change to be made as UI but a big one to do for the UX.

  • I can't read anything from that website but I trust you. It's been a while I am away from debian based distro and digging a bit : the problem is not that you need a ppa but you want the very latest version of the driver. You can have your reasons for that.

    Mesa drivers are properly packaged from debian and forks alike. Going out of this way to install package from unknown people/org has its risk indeed. If newer GPU/graphics chipset would need newer driver I still make a point that this should be the manufacturer responsibility and not community to work from opaque implementation.

  • I am not here to defend mint, never used it, but saying that a graphic driver can brick your system is spreading misinformation.

    Bricking is very serious and means that your device becomes as useful as a brick. It can happen when damaging the hardware or firmware.

    It seems you had a bad experience with graphic driver, this is 99% of the time the responsibility/fault of the GPU manufacturer (I guess Nvidia for you, AMD is not that friendly either). At worse you plug a bootable USB to recover your files and reinstall Linux.

  • it is sad to see people falling again and again on the same traps.

    Murena is not our friend, it is very much business-minded, and /e/os is also lacking in privacy and customer respect (going straight to the worse of AI company with OpenAI, pushing/forcing you into their VPN stuff)

    Here we have a 1200€ phone (who buys that? Tesla owners?) with 2022 hardware (Mali g615, really?) and amoled screen we never asked for (maybe Linux tech tips kinda folks want that yeah).

    I like privacy indeed, give me linux please, don't sell me half-decade old hardware for insane price just because "hardware kill switch" (librem guys came back?). Don't shove amoled in my throat and give me my reliable audio jack. Then we're talking

  • it used to be cheaper, and with an audio jack. Add some environment and social consideration and I see many reasons to buy it.

    Or you can buy a Google phone from Amazon and text about privacy or freeing Palestine while sipping your Starbucks coffee in your Tesla car.

    Not everything has to be about how much do you personally get for the money you give.

    I am so glad I could get the Faiphone 3 while it still had an audio jack. At that time the hardware was not too far behind, still too much for my use which is mainly scrolling through obscure left-ish forums and YouTube channels (thanks newpipe) and startups late-stage capitalist hacker news (I don't know any better about tech).

    Is there a reason firefox saves file you just want to open? It used to not be the case.

    I don't find any value in Red-Hat but I see their corporate thinking. Who really need them and why?
