    I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.

    Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.

    Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.

    Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.

    If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

    If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .

    It is the same/similar problem that Nokia/Maemo and Sailfish/merOS have all had.

    Some things are binary-blobs + NDAs and many things are still locked, the OSS community can only do so much before they hit the commercial roadblocks.

    We need a complete CoreBoot + OSS silicon-chips + OSS firmware + all-community / all-commercial dual production lines.

    The open-source-based company should be able to sell both the commercial locked-version and the oss-all-unlocked-version with the ability to switch infinitely between the two models.

    But the world of electronics rarely will ever work or reach that level of interoperability , repairability or recycling this way. Not for a long time maybe in some distant future.


  • Evangelists exist in all communities. I was simply stating that people whose agenda to convert you to Linux may not always have other peoples best interests at heart. Clearly I don’t have that agenda. I would prefer people made their own decisions and choices based on their own needs. Not forced into an untenable situation.

    I like how upvote/downvote does not matter on Lemmy.

    Its about free speech as in beer. And not censorship. We can have our opinions without fear of being the unpopular opinion.

    No one in the Linux community wants to force users onto Linux. If they do that, then they are morons and should not be listened to.

    Windows is blatantly forced on users through monopolistic practices and underhanded dealings going back decades.

    I know what I actively will choose. Also it is my choice. It doesnt have to be your choice or even the right choice. Choose what you want and what you need. No one in the Linux community can or will force you to switch to Linux.

    For some of us, X11/Xorg is better , way way better than using Wayland.

    Linux means we should have a choice without sacrificing our freedom. So if I want to use X11/Xorg or Wayland, I SHOULD MAKE THAT DECISION.

    Looking at the garbage trash fire that is systemd.

    Only way I can get SysVInit back is if I use Slackware, Devuan , so a complete switch of distro and tools. No choice no freedom.


  • I can tell you for a fact, in 1999, we were running Windows3.11 and MSDOS 5.x on a brand-new Pentium II ? or something like that, because the DSP-board and daughter-card system didn’t like Win2k. We were all on the network. Everyone ran Win2k Pro while loading the test codes via network / SMB/CIFs share to that machine.

    Same could be done using Linux on all those systems except for the test rig.

    NO YOU DO NOT have to use Windows on your desktop just for your toolchain. Put that shit on a separate test-rig and isolate it.

    Best Practices and Good Standard procedures makes it possible to use Linux on the Desktop.

    It is a matter of ability and talent to do things properly using the best tools at any given time.

    Swyers disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

    A Genetically-born XY person with fully developed female-organs and no visible male-organs hence failed to go through male-puberty remaining for all intents and purposes female-adjacent.

    The Olympics committee via Scientific investigation have determined that Swyers disease persons are essentially female from birth including physical characteristics hence an exception has been made to be allowed in the Olympics female category for participation.

    Trans-persons are still not allowed in the Olympics female category no exceptions.
