Last Notes npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue yeah, that is true. We depend on many Linux-specific features and would need a huge amount of changes to support anything like BSD. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue have you heard of snap packages? (Disclaimer: I work on the project as an upstream developer). Have you tried packaging your software as a snap? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue interesting. So this way, you need to stick to the subset of the language or the oldest system you want to support, right? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue I mean if you make a package with this, can you deploy it across say, last two or three LTS releases of Ubuntu and expect it to work. Does it bundle Python or does it depend on python from the distribution? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue how is binary compatibility like in that approach? Does it work across a wide range of systems or is it more constrained? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qw7…q0ue how do you deploy your tools to your users and systems? Python is somewhat of a mixed bag here. Do you have any constraints apart from preferences? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1qk5…jlda very nice colors. I wish there was a nice forest somewhat closer to me but this has made me want to go and see one npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon A family member has died recently and as a part of shuffling stuff around, I've recovered a thinkpad I used to use. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon During the last Canonical engineering sprint someone mentioned it is possible to know if a terminal has light or dark a background and adjust colors to match, so that application text remains readable. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub19la…hm4g There is a bugzilla https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc wait, is it? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc right but I think this is related: the alternative to the copyleft+CLA is, in many cases, full proprietary. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc in your opinion, is that equally morally wrong as making proprietary software or is there a gradient there? npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc I think I either don't understand something about your opinion or I can not make my opinion clearly enough. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc, but then you also say that all the contributors participated in immoral activity, and I think you can not make that claim for them without taking their agency away. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon Having lots of RAM in your desktop or laptop is liberating. No need to remember to close one project and focus on something else. Ability to run large test environments. I feel cramped on a 16GB system I use from time to time. My main desktop has 128GB and my main laptop has 96GB and with this anything I'm working on fits perfectly. npub1zkgvmg0hr7hxf2yznxvfdkq03s4cj3t0cn0l7vzmjv4w8kvx5vlq0pmzx5 zygoon @npub1sg4…xslc ridiculous
