Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages

Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.

Well, that's for you to decide.

I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?

Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase

I think these ARM chips are more expensive than we realize! Apple's egregiously high upgrade pricing on MacBooks sucks, and 8gb of RAM by default on the base model sucks as well, but it is likely to raise the average sale price of devices equipped with their chips. This has been known for some time, I feel.

I'll cut Samsung some slack since we don't know the unit cost of the Snapdragon chips, and they aren't likely to sell out of these devices right away even with competitive pricing because of the state of Windows on ARM. I'm excited to see how Linux support pans out on the next generation of non-Apple ARM notebooks, though; I think this is a chance for some manufacturers to take Linux more seriously, as Linux on ARM is actually not a terrible experience.

Mostly positive. My encoding utility Aviator can be shipped with a custom community-backed SVT-AV1 fork in the background without anyone noticing any issues like they would if I linked to system SVT-AV1. Flatpak makes this kind of thing easy, and users don't have to think about it.

As an Android user, Android phones with Google Play Services are no better - in fact I'd say they're probably worse

I'm running a black & white wired Brother printer through a CUPS relay & I couldn't be happier without HP's bullshit
