Yeah, maybe an Option for developers to selfregister their dependencies/forks? Like a community driven gentlemans agreement

Like if the freetube developers gives an honest review on what other work they build on, and the percentage of money that should go to them vs the projects they build on, the yt-dlp (which is hypothetically used in freetube) author can accept the offered split % (in which case the split is done automatically without user interaction) or ask for an alternative split %, in which case the user needs to choose which percentage of their donations goes to whom.

I know handeling user data and accounts is probably out of the scope of this project, but wanted to put this out there anyway

I would love an APP like this, actually thought about needing something like this a few months back.

I would use it, but I see the problems mentioned by others with giving hugely wrong incentives to devs, if the app gains traction (running in background, making slower software, hiding dependencies, etc.)

Also I dont really know if use time really is the best metric (dont know anything better though.)

Also also there would need to be a smart way to detect dependencies, forks and the like, as the frontend is often not the part which is the most work to maintain

Good ol Thunderbird

Yup, this site is very familiär tot me since i got a VPN

Exactly. Hope you are a troll, because if you really believe that… Holy shit I don’t even know where to start.

Nah you are brainwashed if you think people who are bored/unhappy are at fault themself in a system which constantly takes from the poor masses and gives to the rich few.

Reading your replies under other comments: How fucking entitled and brainwashed are you? You are the definition of toxic “good vibes only” rich girls

You one busy boy, you post the same meme to all comunitys so it floods the timelines…

Yeah well, no problem with steam proton games.

Now get the ones with kernel level anti cheat running (league for example)

Was a while ago, i think i did. All I know is I worked trough the whole doc to upgrade start to finish because I didn’t know which sections apply to me and which don’t, it was like ten hours of work trying t o understand everything which, holly shit, wasn’t easy and when I finally got completely through it didn’t work as expected.

Not that I think the docs were wrong, I am aware that I was the problem there, but it sometimes bothers me when people act like Linux is super easy and even grandma can understand and use it while I, the most techy persons in my peer group, give it my all and still dont even manage a simple upgrade, which would be absolutely no problem on the corporate OSs

Would be nice if it were just that easy, wouldn’t it?

Thats not what i experienced… Trying to run sketchup with wine, 3 days trial and error, doesn’t work even though winehq says its possible Using vive wireless? Not possible at all! or playing league, hard before vanguard, impossible after… Updating between major versions? Always breaks my setup and makes me start from scratch Using zoom for work with sharing desktop? Huge pita and u need to deepdive in Wayland to get I running (I didn’t so I switched back to x)! Install a non native daw like ableton and get it running without crashes and usable latency? Impossible! Using your rack audio interface? Not possible as there is no Linux driver and pipewire only recognizes half of the functions

I have a ryzen 5 12 core and a Vega 64, so hardware is decent and clearly not the problem here.

I am aware that those problems often stem from programs not being designed for Linux, not Linux itself being bad, but the effect is sadly the same: using halfbacked freeware or study IT to get it running, nothing apart from Mozilla “just works”

Havent brought myself to upgrade to 13 yet, but from 11 to 12 i followed to official guidlines, and when trying to reinstall my packages after kernel upgrade stuff got messed up. Packages didnt recognize their own config files anymore, wine completley behaved random, apt was flooded with error messages, the blzrry glassy Theme in I had in KDE plasma didn’t reinstall properly leaving my desktop looking horrible, half programs not working and some weird driver(?) behavior ( hanging Indefinitly when trying to shut down the system and stuff like that)

Maybe all would have been fixable for someone smart enough, for me it was easier to start again from scratch.

Not to say you are wrong in general, just a personal anecdote: i run Debian, everytime i need to upgrade from one major Version to the next I work for a day, dont get it done, cry, and then setup all my 3 PCs from scratch. (And NO a rolling release like arch or tumbleweed is not the solution, as I am not smart enough to manage different versions of dependencies and everything breaks at somepoint, Debian is at least stable between the major releases) My vive wireless will not work under Linux so I need to keep a dual boot windows on the workhorse which is difficult to maintain itself sometimes. And on my low spec PC audio is never synched with video and no matter what I do I don’t get it fixed

I love Linux for its philosophy and hate Microsoft for theirs, I will go back under no circumstances and agree that Linux gives better error messages and docs to fix things, but I never needed to do that with Microsoft. I never needed to open the registry apart from escaping out of box setup…

User experience for someone with high technical expectations for what should be possible (vr, games, hi-fi cinema, CAD, DAW) but only moderate technical skills (I can navigate GUIs and make basic use of the terminal (grep, nano, apt) but if I try to understand English primary source docs I don’t get it as after ~7 years of Linux I still only know about 30% of the necessary concepts and vocabulary just isn’t that good… Like, Damm, its hard for someone without any technical training who only has a few hours a month to work on his PC (meaning having time to fix and learn stuff, not just using the PC) to get the stuff done which is a no brainer on win

Any oppinions regarding librewolf vs ironfox?

I take green and Start with all weapons on earth. Imagine the redneck waking up with poop under their pillow, poop on their walls and whole cabinets filled with poop. Fkin hilarious

Indeed oh no
