No they will not.

That's a shitty article by a "journalist" that hasn't read the bill otherwise they would know that it's NOT right to repair, but rather it's a bill disguised as right to repair that actually gives even more monopolistic powers to big tech.

I wish nix had something similar as I rarely use flatpaks

then just use fedora asahi remix because the asahi linux team did the work for you, also they would really appreciate some donations

Yes sir, I sometimes feel sad when a good piece of software doesn’t have a donation button or license to buy

Yep, I feel that too. There is too much gratis software that's actually good and I want to pay for but many FOSS developers are scared to ask for money for some reason

I only used winrar when I was a kid. I've been using linux (and macos) for most of my life and before that I used 7zip for my zipping needs, so no winrar license for me.

I agree, BUT, you should pay anyways. FOSS developers should be paid

don't lump in everyone with musk, there are many people that actually believe in free speech

Their search results constantly impress me and honestly it's 10 bucks for unlimited searches, it's worth it even if it's not a business expense, plus since you're paying for the service they're less likely to track you. I wish their code was FOSS, but I'll take it, still better than google, bing, and all the others I've tried.

Also they actively promote the small web and you can even personalize your search results by removing websites you don't like from the searches (for example I have a lot of big tech websites blocked)

Actually other search engines do much better with Lemmy. Kagi's search works wonders if you select the filter for Fediverse Forums. And you can assign that filter to a bang, such as !lemmy, so that when you search "!lemmy query here" it'll search only on the fediverse A few examples:

And this ladies and gentlemen is another reason why we should try to escape big tech's grasp.

In general I agree with you. I find that most FOSS software is more polished than proprietary software, and it is generally more powerful.

However, I think that one problem that people somehow overlook in my opinion is that the financial side of the issue is also extremely important. I want more people to work on quality FOSS software, and I want it to become socially acceptable to work on FOSS as your main job. For that one thing is needed in my opinion: we as users of FOSS software need to give developers the financial incentives to work on what they love the whole time. In fact I want it to reach the point where immoral, non FOSS companies struggle to find developers because they're all working on FOSS.

I prefer the extremely intuitive:

[C-R]=system("grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9")

or

i:!grep -P "PPid:\t(\d+)" /proc/$$/status | cut -f2 | xargs kill -9[esc]Y:@"[cr]

It just rolls off the fingers, doesn't it?

Edit: damn it lemmy didn't like my meme because it assumes that characters between angle brackets are html tags :( you ruined it lemmy

EDIT 2: rewrote it, just assume that square brackets are buttons not characters
