I’m liking them! even if they do not seem very alive (still, blogging itself is not the most “alive” activity around nowadays…)

estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Thinking about switching to Linux; main concern is son's games6·7 months agoI guess all those games work out of the box in linux through steam. I personally play just Stellaris from that list, but I do not see why the others wouldn’t.
Oh, I agree with that (I use a selfhost solution -gitea- myself). I was just pointing to what I think is the current situation and why is like that :)
Well, keeping an infrastructure like github is very expensive. Other solutions like gitlab are no real solution as gitlab itself is also not completely FOSS. Codeberg is a relatively new kid in the block, and sustainability in the long term is still not proven. Gitea/Forjego requires you to selfhost your repositories and that’s something not everybody can afford/take the time to do.
So, we have a situation of a standard de facto, when one company took the space and constitued a monopoly, forcing the users to use it or be invisible otherwise.
So, there you have the reason: visibility in a market dominated by just one actor.
How to fight this situation? There is no much way as individuals, a partial solution is to use a FOSS solution and then mirror on github for visibility. Of course this is limited as individual solutions wont change collective problems, but FOSS groups doing the same are no longer individuals but communities so with time we may have a way to get out…EDIT: s/go/get
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•I made an app to install websites as desktop applications on Linux1·1 year agolol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜
estebanlm@lemmy.mlOPto Programming@programming.dev•Pharo, the immersive programing language, has released its version 12 !6·1 year agoIt’s a Smalltalk. I do not like to compare languages because each one has its own merits, but until now, I do not think there is an environment that matches what Smalltalk (and Pharo) provides (which is just understandable by using it, heh)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlOPto Programming@programming.dev•Pharo, the immersive programing language, has released its version 12 !2·1 year agoOk, I admit I do not understand why it is returning an error (link is good, however)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?152·1 year agoMind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)
well, I has been already years using Manjaro and never happened to me.
Not that it can’t, but never happened to me and I hope it wont :)
Manjaro Gnome. It just works ;)
This is nice!
Still, I would like to have an equal list of non GAFAM channels, heh.
I know “The Linux Experiment” (the best of those channels IMO) has a peertube:

I love Pharo :) All the power of a Smalltalk for the 21 century, a small but very nice community, decent library support (but not huge), and a good FFI interface when this is not enough.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•A different kind of programming workflow paradigm2·2 years agonot with mlem (or I did not find how) ;)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•A different kind of programming workflow paradigmEnglish1·2 years agoOops… most people now ignores… I meant :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•A different kind of programming workflow paradigm7·2 years agoThis is what Smalltalk is all about, and it has been like that since it’s origin: you basically program in the debugger, you program running, you change something, you proceed the debugger, etc. That’s why technics like TDD, refactoring, and others were developed in Smalltalk and just later translated to other languages (and always lacking, since no one reproduces the live programming experience 100%). As the time passed, attention has moved to other languages and most people not ignores what it was to program like that. But there are still some implementations around: I work with Pharo (https://pharo.org), and I can to say is all what you ask for in this post :)
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?6·2 years agofor another (other than Tuxedo) EU based solution: https://slimbook.es/en/
(They are at Valencia, Spain).
But I have no about idea its quality as I have never tried one.
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?2·2 years agoI have been using Manjaro as my daily driver for years now (I work making a programming language), and I have absolutely no complains ;) … but this thread is to talk about hardware :P
estebanlm@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?7·2 years agoI have a tuxedo. I love it. But…
- it supports just its own version of linux (TuxedoOS, based on KDE) and Ubuntu. I use Majaro and I have to tweak it the same way as I would do it with any other non-linux computer.
- I had a problem with sound and needed to send the computer to germany so they were able to check at it and fix it (replacing the mother board). Client service is good, but I live at 1w distance of germany (france)… what happens with people living far away?
- Is certainly good… but not cheap :)
oh, Ghost is cool :)
Not sure how much can use it, but indeed it feels like a great platform (maybe too much for some small posts :P)
