Linux Laptop - T490 or Latitude 5410
What would you recommend for a Linux laptop. Will multiboot with Windows 11.
Both with i5 10th gen. T490 with 24gb ram and 5410 with 16gb ram.
$200 USD for the dell and $260 USD for the Lenovo.
Just want to do basic office/web stuff. Only gaming would be Minecraft. looking for a quiet laptop with good thermals.

in reply to group_hug • • •lenovo. replaced my old dell precision laptop with a T480 and I'm loving it.
dell pros:
- fast
- solid gpu for the time
- clean look
- came with linux.
dell cons:
- battery swelled up, made the trackpad and keyboard not work. replaced the battery a lot.
- keyboard wore out well before lenovo
- chassis screws fell out and then the hinge broke as a result. this is not a thing with lenovo.
- front edge was too sharp and slightly cut into my wrists. not a show stopper but annoyed me the whole time I owned it.
For your situation 16G may be adequate. But 24 is better.

in reply to group_hug • • •T490. i personally had issues with dell laptops a few times. (hinge problem, coating on palmrest/trackpad peeling) also, i don't like dell laptops' keyboard layout but this is just personal preference.
and 8gb more ram for $60 seems decent in todays prices. (afaik it's soldered so not even upgradable?)

in reply to group_hug • • •The 5000 series from Dell is worse than the T series thinkpads. I'd say the 7000 series would be comparable.
I had a 7280 (IIRC) which was great for years, I really like the mobile Dell keyboards. I wouldn't touch a 5410 though, rather a 7410.
So out of these two, the Thinkpad seems like the better deal.

[Python, commandline] NamePlate: Rename files and directories by transforming their basename
github.com/thingsiplay/namepla…
I wrote some niche commandline Python script to rename filenames. I know there are many tools to do this already. It's in the vein of something like Perl
renamecommand. Maybe someone is interested, I don't know.Manual installation only:
BTW, use option
-n(--dry-run) to test commands without applying any changes on the filesystem. The README got some more examples.GitHub - thingsiplay/nameplate: Rename files and directories by transforming their basename

While it does technically have a sequel (which is a prequel, if I remember correctly) set in the same universe, the first book is a complete story unto itself.
The world feels vast and detailed, and the characters are satisfying. Samantha Shannon's prose is great as well. Highly enjoyable book!

in reply to bowsertattoo • • •It’s really hard to compare (nearly complete) series with a standalone book.
Maybe try Mistborn: The Final Empire, and just read that specific entry of the Mistborn series and ignore all the other Cosmere books.
Unfortunately I’m not very good an answering this question, because I often go for long running fantasy series and not one off books.
I’m assuming you’re looking for something in the realm of high fantasy, right? Or are you genre-flexible?

Also I would check out the Mistborn series. It's more books, but many of them (like mistborn) can stand alone and be a great story. Insanely good world building, some of the most unique out there I think

Tem alguém não-binárie defendendo pautas não-binárias???
A análise e seu motivo
A plataforma VoteLGBT permite que candidates registrem suas identidades e um perfil resumido para facilitar que pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ que buscam ser representadas na política achem candidates que gostam.
Obviamente, representação política não é tão fácil: candidates precisam apelar para uma maioria perissexo, cis e hétero para serem eleites, além de precisarem lidar com uma maioria perissexo, cis e hétero não encontrando vantagem em tornar o território menos hostil a pessoas LGBTQIAPN+.
Dito isso, le @Aliel@colorid.es me fez uma pergunta quando veio aqui em casa. Algo do tipo, existe candidate não-binárie que defende a neolinguagem? E, não, eu nunca vi alguém com este comprometimento. Infelizmente, ainda é um assunto ao qual a maioria está indiferente ou é contra. Mesmo o uso de neolinguagem em materiais de campanha ou na abordagem de pessoas para dar panfletos é tabu. O livro de Urse já mostra que, enquanto a direita se preocupa em combater a neolinguagem, a esquerda não se preocupa em defendê-la.
Mas aí pensei: se existem candidates não-bináries e pautas não-binárias, será que há algume candidate que as defende explicitamente?
Os partidos analisados para achar candidaturas não-binárias no site VoteLGBT em 2026 são: UP, PSTU, PSOL, PCdoB, PT, PV, PDT, PSB, MDB e PSDB. Não só partidos de direita (especialmente menores) têm menos chances de acolherem pessoas não-binárias como eu teria que verificar cada página de candidatura do AVANTE ou seja lá o que for o que for para saber se cada pessoa ali é não-binária. O PCB seria incluso se algume candidate LGBTQIAPN+ tivesse se registrado na plataforma.
Lembro vagamente de já poder ter filtrado por pessoas autoidentificadas como não-binárias em eleições passadas, então só poder usar os filtros "trans" e "mulher", ambos os quais aparentam excluir pessoas que se disseram não-binárias desses filtros nas pesquisas, foi um empecilho a mais em coletar esta lista.
Além disso, só incluí pessoas autoidentificadas como não-binárias. Não sei quantes des candidates que escolheram "outro" o fizeram por estarem questionando suas identidades de gênero (um processo que não necessariamente inclui a não-binaridade) ou mesmo por não saberem o que significa o termo cis. Também existem travestis que não se colocam dentro da não-binaridade, então decidi não incluir a categoria travesti por si só.
Tentei dar uma lida nessas marcações diferentes de homem/mulher para ver se alguma descrição explicava melhor a situação de gênero da pessoa, mas, quase sempre, todas as informações extras que poderiam ser relevantes eram que colocaram ou só ela ou só ele como tratamento e que quase todes tinham gay, lésbica ou heterossexual como orientação. Menções honrosas vão para a Senhora Mar, que é travesti pansexual concorrendo como deputada federal pelo PSOL na Bahia e citou infância sem gênero como uma de suas pautas, e para a Bancada Transformar do PSOL no Pará, que defende a pauta de acesso de "travestis, transsexuais (sic), transmasculinos e não-binarios (sic)" ao ensino superior; o líder da chapa se coloca como transmasculino ou homem trans, dependendo da divulgação, mas não achei algum local com qualquer ume des participantes sendo descrite como não-binárie de forma explícita, então também estou excluindo tal candidatura da análise.
Análise inicial
Agora eu vou entrar nos links de cada candidate e ver 1) quais são suas pautas e 2) se há pautas específicas para a população não-binária. Pessoas não-binárias acabam precisando de mais auxílios quando a saúde, educação e emprego (como pessoas de quaisquer outros grupos marginalizados) em comparação com seus pares cis, e minha intenção aqui não é tratar a população não-binária como alienígenas que só precisam de quem defenda nossa hormonização, retificação e linguagem (ou outras pautas do tipo), mas o ponto desta postagem é especificamente ver se esta representatividade não-binária está só nas fichas ou se há uma perspectiva não-binária dentro das propostas também.
As candidaturas
Lucas Penteado (Federal por SP, 1303)
Lucas Penteado só tem um Instagram como referência (o qual não tem link para mais nada), o que dificulta achar qualquer projeto ou proposta. O perfil em si não tem nenhuma menção à não-binaridade, e a maioria das postagens parece se tratar de falar a favor do Lula e contra o Flávio Bolsonaro. Também tem algumas postagens junto com pessoas que estão concorrendo para serem deputadas estaduais.
Este vídeo com Jaque Medeiros fala sobre a importância de representatividade de mulheres e menciona a falta de representatividade "do nosso povo", sem explicitar qual o povo em questão (se é uma referência genérica a viver fora da classe política ou se é sobre fazer parte de algum grupo marginalizado). Outras publicações só fazem referências genéricas a já conhecer o candidato (sendo que eu não acompanho BBB e vou pouquíssimas vezes ao teatro ou ao cinema, então não tenho contato com os valores desta pessoa).
Filipe Menino (Federal por SP, 4054)
O "link para Instagram" do Felipe Menino na verdade vai para o Threads. Dito isso, já há algumas informações sobre ele na própria página do VoteLGBT:
Ok, quanto a pautas, temos aí acesso à saúde visual.
No Threads, ele compartilhou sua propaganda eleitoral, onde ele defende:
Ele também publicou outro vídeo com basicamente as mesmas propostas.
No Instagram, tem vídeos que ainda falam destes mesmos assuntos, como este que promove Talita Cadeirante, e mais uma coisa ou outra, como este vídeo visibilizando um caso de queermisia (aviso de conteúdo para violência verbal).
Dito isso, não encontrei nenhuma menção específica da não-binaridade dele nos perfis, ou mesmo menções específicas a pessoas trans ou não-binárias fora da sigla LGBTQIAPN+ em si.
Santo Legaliza (Federal por SP, 5042)
Como já deve ser óbvio para muitas pessoas, a pauta principal que Santo traz é a legalização da maconha. Seu site também menciona que o candidato também quer o fim da violência policial contra o povo periférico.
Eu não conheço o histórico dos candidatos anteriores desta lista, mas pelo menos eu sei que esta não é a primeira eleição onde Santo se declara uma pessoa não-binária. Dito isso, não há nenhuma menção à sua não-binaridade em seus perfis, e seus materiais contém o uso constante do artigo e da flexão o.
O Filipe Menino já publicou pelo menos um cartaz onde o uso de LLMs foi óbvio, mas o Santo faz uso desta tecnologia de forma mais descarada ainda: várias de suas publicações no Instagram e no YouTube possuem aquele visual genérico associado com LLMs, assim como a própria moldura para ícone que oferece em seu site para sues apoiadóries.
Álex Souza (Federal pelo AM, 5050)
A última candidata da lista de concorrentes a deputade federal é a única que não está concorrendo em São Paulo. Ela também é a única até agora com um documento inteiro onde apresenta suas propostas e que diz ser não-binária em seu perfil no Instagram. O programa tem 34 páginas, design simples mas relativamente bem feito e é para uma candidata com número fácil (5050), então imagino que haja bastante foco nesta candidatura. (É apenas minha impressão, mas não sou do Amazonas.)
O programa tem 8 eixos:
1. População LGBTQIAPN+;
2. Povos originários;
3. Juventude;
4. Para o povo;
5. Saúde e inclusão;
6. Meio ambiente;
7. Direitos humanos;
8. Cuidados essenciais.
Eu dei uma lida e, além da linguagem mascunormativa, o que me deu um gosto ruim da boca foi o uso dos termos "mãe atípica" e "pai atípico": que (em geral) não é sobre nans neurodivergentes, e sim sobre responsáveis de crianças neurodivergentes que buscam se centralizar em discussões sobre neurodivergência por conta disso, assim apagando a existência de pessoas adultas neurodivergentes (e perpetuando mais um eufemismo, "atípique", ao invés de usar termos mais diretos, assim como "especial"). O termo neurodivergente (ou mesmo neuroatípique ou neurodiversidade) não aparece em nenhum do programa em si, apenas autismo (em um contexto que dá a entender "pessoa com autismo" ao invés de pessoa autista, que é o termo que grande parte das comunidades autistas organizadas tende a preferir). Quero ressaltar que estes problemas não são exclusivos de qualquer candidate ou partido, e sim daquele "senso comum" que joga grupos marginalizados para baixo do ônibus caso certas pautas ou problematizações não sejam suficientemente populares, mas é algo que eu gostaria de pontuar como um ponto negativo em um programa que, em geral, é excelente.
(Em seu perfil do Instagram, há esta publicação que usa o termo "centros de neurodiversidade", acompanhado do quebra-cabeça, símbolo perpetuado por grupos antiautistas, especialmente Autism Speaks, que quer "exterminar o autismo". É o tipo de capacitismo que ocorre quando famílias alistas que precisam lidar com crianças autistas são centralizadas, ao invés de adultes autistas ou de organizações formadas por pessoas autistas.)
Algumas das pautas que posso citar de forma positiva são: criar um incentivo para cidades manterem transporte público à noite, criar pensão para pessoas que não podem trabalhar por ficarem o dia inteiro cuidando de outres, criar programas de ensino superior em estabelecimentos penitenciários e defender a proteção a terras indígenas demarcadas além da demarcação de terras indígenas ainda não reconhecidas. Em relação à população LGBTQIAPN+, Álex propõe a criação de uma rede de casas de acolhimento para pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ em situação de violência, abandono ou falta de moradia, preparo maior para o recebimento de pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ no SUS e criação de banheiros sem gênero em espaços públicos, como alguns destaques.
Pessoas não-binárias são mencionadas múltiplas vezes (no caso, Álex não usa o hífen), especialmente quanto à inclusão de pessoas não-binárias dentro do atendimento do SUS (inclusive nos documentos e no respeito a tratamento, embora aqui esta questão esteja sendo referida como "pronomes") e uma vez na questão de banheiros neutros. Há algumas menções a "pessoas trans e travestis" e outras menções a "pessoas trans", enquanto outras vezes a menção é aos três grupos (pessoas trans, travestis e não-binárias). Eu vou presumir que tais incoerências sejam por falta de vontade de repetir tudo, e não exclusões propositais de travestis ou de pessoas não-binárias de determinadas propostas ou da modalidade trans (não há motivo para reservar vagas de trabalho para pessoas trans sem incluir travestis, por exemplo).
Indianarae Siqueira (Estadual pelo RJ, 13169)
Indianarae Siqueira tem um parágrafo que lhe descreve no VoteLGBT, e ali também tem um link para seu Instagram, o qual contém links para financiamento coletivo e uma conta no Threads. O local com mais informações é a descrição do financiamento coletivo, mas, antes disso, quero chamar atenção para as biografias nos outros sites:
Não há em nenhum momento uma indicação de pronome ou artigo, mas há indicações das flexões a e e. Também não há indicação explícita acerca de identidade de gênero e o perfil no Threads (que requer mais cliques no VoteLGBT) é o único que usa somente a flexão e.
O financiamento coletivo aponta a história de Indianarae Siqueira, a qual sem dúvida traz um currículo impressionante:
Em relação a pautas e propostas para o futuro, porém, só há isto:
Suas propostas parecem estar concentradas em suas publicações de Instagram. Esta "cola" contém o seguinte parágrafo dentro de sua descrição:
Já esta publicação contém uma série de propostas para auxiliar pessoas que protegem animais, oferecer saúde pública a animais e combater violências contra animais. Esta aqui traz 20 propostas para a cultura, entre elas piso salarial maior para artistas e técniques de arte contratades pelo Estado e agenda 50% gratuita para coletivos independentes em teatros e centros culturais. Há também esta postagem onde as seguintes propostas são citadas:
Não acho que Indianarae Siqueira seja o tipo de pessoa não-binária apática à causa não-binária, levando em consideração seu histórico de vida. Mas acho relevante para o propósito deste texto apontar que pessoas não-binárias não são mencionadas de forma específica em nenhum lugar, embora suas propostas sejam tão espalhadas que podem existir propostas mais específicas a este grupo que simplesmente não encontrei.
Douglas Meriz (Estadual por SC, 50505)
A publicação de apresentação de Douglas Meriz contém o seguinte como pontos principais:
(Qual identidade? Qual ou quais religiões de matriz africana? Existe um peso racial quando uma pessoa generaliza um aspecto de um continente inteiro, como em "culinária asiática", "tradições ameríndias" ou "religiões de matrizes africanas", o que inclusive faz parte das discussões sobre orientalismo. Por isso, é importante saber especificar para além disso, como em culinária coreana ou vodu haitiano. Faz sentido usar um termo mais amplo quando se trata de uma questão mais ampla, mas o contexto é de uma pessoa autodeclarada branca falando sobre a própria fé "nas religiões de matriz africana", dando a entender a ideia de totalidade, quando seria possível falar sobre ter encontrado fé em algumas ou múltiplas religiões de matriz africana, ou ter nomeado caso se tratem de apenas algumas.)
Também há outra postagem onde elu lista uma série de "propostas" (que estão mais para pautas em muitos casos, por não serem concretas), separadas em temas:
Como em tantos outros casos da lista, não há nenhuma menção à não-binaridade ou ao fato de Douglas Meriz aparentemente não se importar com tratamento gramatical. Todos os materiais utilizam artigo e flexão o tanto para sua linguagem pessoal quanto para linguagem genérica, mesmo em casos onde seria fácil evitar marcações (seria fácil substituir dos trabalhadores por do povo trabalhador no espaço disponível na imagem, por exemplo).
Depois de ver que uma das imagens de fundo tinha um símbolo de estrela de 4 pontas mostrando que era uma imagem feita usando LLMs, não pude deixar de perceber que vários dos textos contém listas de 3 itens que são relativamente arbitrários (como nas frases de efeito "quero construir um mandato que tenha lado: o lado de quem trabalha, de quem luta e de quem muitas vezes é obrigado a resistir para ter seus direitos respeitados" e "existir com liberdade, segurança e dignidade é um direito"). Eu não acho que todo o texto das imagens linkadas foi escrito por um gerador de lero-lero, ou que todos os designs das imagens (os quais são em sua maioria bastante simples e consistentes) foram feitos com LLMs, mas acho provável que os textos tenham passado por um ChatGPT da vida em algum momento do processo de escrita.
Pessoas trans são mencionadas em especial uma vez (na suposta proposta "políticas de inclusão e proteção para pessoas trans"). Pessoas não-binárias não foram mencionadas de forma específica nenhuma vez, nem na sigla utilizada (já que não há N em LGBTQIA+).
Everaldo Oliveira (Estadual pelo RS, 80000)
Apesar de "ter um website" listado, na verdade o link no VoteLGBT aponta para a página inicial do site da UP. Para seu crédito, é possivel achar informações específicas sobre uma candidatura no site.
No VoteLGBT, a não-binaridade de Everaldo é mencionada, ainda que de forma resumida ("NB") que usa a sigla como substantivo ao invés de adjetivo:
Porém, esta questão é completamente omitida no perfil da página da UP:
Em seu Instagram, elu também tem "NB" ao lado de uma bandeira arco-íris.
Quanto a questões defendidas, elas são bem resumidas nas duas descrições mencionadas:
Porém, uma publicação de Instagram dá mais detalhes: são 25 pautas, algumas das quais são propostas relativamente diretas ("passe livre nos ônibus e na Trensurb", "Delegacias da Mulher 24 horas em todo o RS", "prioridade de investimento para prevenção de desastres ambientais") enquanto outras estão mais para ideais abstratos ("combate ao racismo e à violência de Estado", "combate ao feminicídio e aos estupros", "valorização dos aposentados"). Um dos itens é "anulação da Reforma Trabalhista e da Reforma da Previdência", sendo que estas são questões federais.
É até possível que Everaldo Oliveira tenha planos concretos para todos os seus pontos, mas, infelizmente, o documento mais completo oferecido sobre o que ile faria na Assembleia Legislativa foi um carrossel de Instagram. Tentei procurar no site da UP, presumindo a possibilidade de que o programa fosse igual a todes do partido, mas não achei menções a vários dos itens citados no carrossel.
Nenhum dos itens, porém, menciona ou teria como público-alvo principal pessoas não-binárias, ou mesmo pessoas cisdissidentes ou heterodissidentes num geral. Novamente, não acho que isso por si só é necessariamente um problema, especialmente pelo quanto há de pautas relacionadas com combate à violência, acesso à moradia e valorização de estruturas públicas (SUS, escolas públicas, fim de terceirizações, etc.), mas é uma questão perceptível quando outros grupos específicos e outras opressões específicas foram mencionades.
O veredito
Há mais pessoas não-binárias que não se declaram não-binárias fora da plataforma VoteLGBT (4) do que indicam não-binaridade em seus perfis fora da plataforma (3), sendo que, no caso de Indianarae Siqueira (contade como alguém que explicita sua não-binaridade), a não-binaridade apenas pode ser inferida a partir do uso da flexão e em combinação com a ausência de especificações acerca de gênero ou expressão de gênero.
A representação não-binária também não aparece de forma centralizada ou positiva em nenhuma campanha. Váries candidates se orgulham em, por exemplo, representar uma determinada região, profissão ou pauta, e parte des candidates listades se incluem nisso (como Filipe Menino e seu foco em saúde visual); mas, se a não-binaridade aparece, é como uma linha no perfil ou uma menção em "ser LGBTQIAPN+" no material de campanha. A não-binaridade é, aparentemente, algo a ser escondido do eleitorado geral: algo que não só não ajuda na campanha, como também poderia prejudicar o quanto cada candidate é aceite.
Em relação às pautas, 4 das candidaturas mencionam questões LGBTQIAPN+, com 3 destas oferecendo pelo menos uma menção específica a pessoas trans e apenas Álex Souza mencionando pessoas não-binárias como uma categoria específica. Sem perfis mais completos, porém, é difícil saber quantas das outras 6 pessoas votariam contra a implementação obrigatória de banheiros neutros ou da reformulação da "política de linguagem simples" de forma que a abra para reconhecer a diversidade de gêneros gramaticais para tratar pessoas específicas, ou a favor da inclusão explícita de pessoas não-binárias não trans (como isogênero ou absgênero) dentro de políticas voltadas para a população trans, por exemplo.
Eu consideraria votar em Álex Souza, Indianarae Siqueira ou Everaldo Oliveira, mas não voto em tais estados. Enquanto isso, prefiro candidates com propostas concretas e que não aparentam estar usando LLMs constantemente, algo que pra mim é um sinal de que parte da reflexão da pessoa está sendo terceirizada para uma máquina treinada para gerar textos que a média da internet faria. Já temos problemas suficientes com a classe política ignorando (ou mesmo suprimindo) pautas consideradas "nichadas demais" em busca de ter um eleitorado amplo para também termos que lidar com a eleição de mensageires de carne.
E de resto, temos aliades?
O VoteLGBT não tem filtros para questões mais específicas, apenas para "principais pautas". Porém, mesmo filtrando para quem tem como prioridade "Cidadania LGBT+" (a categoria mais próxima de "contra o avanço das pautas antitrans" ou "a favor de avanços para o respeito à não-binaridade"), há muites candidates que não facilitam para que suas opiniões ou pautas sejam encontradas. Inclusive há candidates na lista que mal citam questões "LGBT+" mesmo listando tal prioridade.
O Instagram limita bastante acesso sem login, por exemplo, e a maioria des candidates usa somente o Instagram para comunicarem suas ideias. Mesmo que eu não seja contra candidates manterem contas em redes sociais onde há mais gente, não acho que o formato de rede social seja ideal para acompanhar as posições de ume candidate. Outres candidates querem inscrições em suas listas de e-mail ou canais de WhatsApp, ao invés de explicarem suas propostas publicamente, e eu não acho que este deveria ser um requerimento para entender que tipo de propostas alguém tem.
Mesmo quem tem site próprio muitas vezes não elabora muito nele. Por exemplo, Prof. Marcelo Yoshida (PT-SP) tem vários depoimentos e várias fotos, mas apenas 4 caixas pequenas para dizer "o que defendemos" que estão mais para ideais do que para propostas. Enquanto isso, Ruth Venceremos (PT-DF) oferece propostas mais concretas e Fe Miranda (PSOL-RS) tem tanto parágrafos explicando sua posição quanto propostas derivadas de cada eixo.
Aliás, não é necessário um site próprio para disponibilizar um local apropriado para propostas. Por exemplo, este material da Vilma Reis (PT-BA) é um PDF no Google Drive, ao menos não exige login e tem a capacidade de disponibilizar bastante texto. Lorran Neves (PSTU-RJ) decidiu colocar um resumo de suas propostas na descrição de sua campanha de financiamento coletivo.
Mesmo assim, é muito difícil saber o que boa parte das pessoas listadas no VoteLGBT fariam ou não fariam pela população não-binária, especialmente em pontos que podem não ser necessariamente benéficos a pessoas trans binárias ou binarizadas (por exemplo, já vi pessoas defendendo a não criação de banheiros neutros porque o que deveria ser feito é deixar pessoas trans entrarem nos banheiros que correspondem com seus gêneros, sendo que apenas duas identidades de gênero são representadas nesses banheiros, e a questão da neolinguagem mal é defendida pelas próprias comunidades não-binárias mesmo sendo necessidade para um grupo cada vez maior de pessoas). Quando o assunto é a inclusão de pessoas trans por estarem em situação de vulnerabilidade, esta é outra questão que deixa pessoas binárias defensivas, dando a entender que somos pessoas cis que decidimos ser irritantes em relação a como somos tratades e podemos parar a qualquer momento, quando muites de nós sofrem com as mesmas questões de exclusão social, vontades de transição física, violências com base em nossas aparências e disforia de gênero não aceita pela família do que mulheres e homens trans. As novas casas de acolhimento vão incluir pessoas não-binárias? E vão ter um espaço que não seja designado para homens ou para mulheres? E as cotas trans para empregos e universidades? O pessoal que defende inclusão LGBTQIAPN+ em empregos sequer parou para pensar que a maioria das vagas repassadas por aí são para "estagiários(as)"/"engenheiros(as)"/etc.?
Com as informações que consegui ver, admito que não encontrei outras menções a pessoas não-binárias. Raramente vi menções a pessoas trans, embora tenha visto uma ou outra menção a questões trans, como defesa do uso do nome social.
No final, mesmo depois de toda esta pesquisa, ainda acho que (aqui em São Paulo) vou votar na Neon Cunha, como fiz em outras eleições (desta vez ela está com o número 13913), e no Guilherme Cortez (5005), de quem recebi santinho perto de onde moro e gostei do que vi no site. De qualquer forma, peço para que todes que estejam lendo procurem ir atrás dos programas completos de sues candidates, não apenas de uma combinação de representatividade e partido ou de frases de efeito engraçadas.

Any scripts/toolbox around crun/runc for containers?
Once you know how it works, managing containers manually with crun is pretty easy. But if you don't want to do everything manually, the next best thing is podman.
But podman pulls already around 500 MB in dependencies on Alpine, while half of it's features don't work without Systemd and the other half duplicates system-interfaces on a local website.
Which is why, before i create my own scripts, anything that let's you with a single command
* create container from template
* add sub-uid:gid
* add respective default nftable rule
* same for deleting container
* list contianers by status
Things like that?

tech support: qubes error when cpu pinning or updating
two questions if you have the answer to just one thats great )
I followed this guide forum.qubes-os.org/t/cpu-pinni…
now no vms work i get this error "failed to start logical volume “vm-sys-usb-volatile” already exist in volume group “qubes dom0” (vm sys usb volatile is just an example)
also gui is buggy (slow and not appearing where it should be) and clicking doesnt register (not a external mouse) and logging in/out is super long but this happened before cpu pinning and just happens after updating it works fine on fresh install before updating

in reply to lemmingsareawesome • • •Hey I see you are trying out Qubes! But I think you got sucked down a bit of a rabbit hole here. CPU pinning is a very deep customization, it is absolutely not necessary, and is a case of the author of the guide wondering "can I do this?" and finding out that yes, there is a way. But I would suggest that you not worry about it, as the difference in performance may not even be noticeable to you.
The best way to approach qubes as a new user is to do almost nothing to modify dom0, and do all your playing around in the qubes.
Also, for in depth tech support like this I would always post to the Qubes forums. Its a niche OS, so posting on a general Linux forum is probably going to not get you a ton of help.
lemmingsareawesome
in reply to skyline2 • • •i did it because i was having problems with it. it was crazy slow and unresponsive (gui doesnt appear when/where its supposed to, clicks dont register (its not an external mouse) only after an update though. without updating (and logging out and back in) it work just fine. i pinned the cpu and that seemed to fix it but then it had problems only after i logged out and back in
also the forum is a little dead lol

in reply to lemmingsareawesome • • •Have you checked the hardware compatibility list, and the hardware requirements? What are your PC specs? Qubes relies heavily on virtualization and your hardware must support certain features (and those features must be turned on in the BIOS) for good performance.
So confirm that you have turned on all the recommended hardware features, which should be on BEFORE install, you may need to reinstall if they weren't turned on as I'm not sure what Qubes does at install time if those features are off.

WTF is going on with my less
Today, I was doing some command-line stuff and then this happened:
It's rendering
ls --helpwith control characters. When I dols --help|less --raw-control-charsit doesn't show the control characters, and it looks all neat and pretty. Isn't this the opposite of how it's supposed to work?!Is
--raw-control-charsa toggle and some config is causinglessto show control characters when I invoke it with no options? If so, where can I find this config and stop this?This has absolutely no bearing on my work and my life in general except for the fact that I'll go absolutely batshit trying to figure this out, because that's how my brain is. So far, all of my web searches just confirm that
lessshouldn't be working this way, but they don't give me any way to fix it. Please help me, Lemmy!!!testman

Aliases aside, I wouldn't expect the shell to be the cause. None the less, I installed version 4.0.2 of the fish shell and ran the same command in it and didn't see any control characters. But that's not really surprising - my old version of ls doesn't produce them. So I ran
ls | lessbecause even with my versionlscolour highlights files by type, but in the pipeline to less, there were no codes.If I run
ls --color=always | lessthen I do see codes in the less output.You might check your environment variables to see if CLICOLOR_FORCE is set.
Otherwise, I am out of ideas.

This has nothing to do with less (or bash or fish). It is a new behavior as of Coreutils 9.10. It is to preserve the hyperlinks in the help output of ls, cp, rm, mv, etc. In default mode, less catches these control codes and escapes them so you see the visual escape codes. If you use
less --raw-control-charsthen less is NOT escaping the control characters (just passing them through) and they get interpreted by the terminal as screen formatting codes.Debian 13, which ships Coreutils 9.7 does not have the change and cannot reproduce the behavior.

Ubuntu 26.10 stops low memory from killing your desktop session - OMG! Ubuntu
Ubuntu 26.10 changes how the system choose which processes are killed when memory runs low, making a rogue browser tab is less likely to punt you back to the login screen.
When your system runs out of memory, the kernel’s out-of-memory (OOM) killer kicks in, terminating processes to recover some.
The issue is that doesn’t always kill the right things.
By default, many apps and critical desktop services share the same priority score. When the OOM killer is choosing its victim target, it looks at their OOM scores, not “what’s using the most memory”.
Firefox and GNOME Shell, for example, share the same priority status. If memory pressure increases, the OOM killer may decide to terminate GNOME Shell to free up memory rather than the the process causing runaway memory requirements.
I regularly encounter this myself in Ubuntu VMs if I try to do too many things (with too many Firefox tabs open): rather than OOM nuking an app, it kills GNOME Shell instead – but I’d much rather a tab crash than my entire desktop session.
Ubuntu 26.10 makes changes to mitigate this.
Canonical’s Jean Baptiste Lallement says “the goal is simply to preserve the desktop session where possible” by terminating apps before core session services. To do this, it’s lowered the OOM scores for desktop processes so they’re less likely to be nixed.
Ubuntu 26.10 also stops systemd-oomd being able to kill user sessions as it doesn’t use the same OOM priority scores as the kernel, and important desktop services could still be nixed based on memory pressure requirements.
These changes will improve how Ubuntu copes when memory runs out, but Lallement calls it “a first step” that “does not make Ubuntu immune to OOM conditions”. More granular OOM policies for desktop services and apps are planned.
Ubuntu 26.10 is released on Thursday 15 October, 2026, but if you plan to test drive the beta that’s due on Thursday 24 September, these changes will be there – not that you’ll notice them, hopefully!

in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •FishFace
in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •Isn't this article essentially wrong because of this line:
systemd-oomdworks completely differently from the kernel OOM killer. Unless it's changed, it just ranks everything by how much memory they're using and picks the biggest memory hog that isn't manually deprioritised by some config rule, and kills that. The OOM killer has a much smarter heuristic to deprioritise processes which are being actively used.As far as I understand,
systemd-oomdwas always a shoddy implementation because of this, and when it first started being used in Fedora (I don't know about Ubuntu) also had insanely aggressive settings so that it would nobble something when you still had 20% free memory.The problem it was trying to solve was that Linux's behaviour under memory pressure is actually abysmal. I have no idea if other OSes are any better, but basically once your computer starts thrashing, you're better off rebooting it because it'll be up again in a minute, whereas if you wait it'll probably be half an hour if you're lucky. The OOM killer detects actual out-of-memory, not thrashing, and so you can spend days slowly grinding your way through operations that should have taken seconds without ever triggering it. Hence
systemd-oomdis designed to kick in before you actually run out of memory... and as a consequence it somewhat frequently does so too early.MonkderVierte
in reply to FishFace • • •Which is why you're stuck for 2 minutes, until it's done it's decision-making in low-memory. And why i use earlyoom.
(and why is it yet another systemd-somethingd? Free the service!)

in reply to MonkderVierte • • •MonkderVierte
in reply to FishFace • • •FishFace
in reply to MonkderVierte • • •sure, but how much memory? Here's how I imagine it working (based on approximately zero knowledge):
So in my imagination it only takes two small blobs of data being swapped in - if kernel code and process information even can be swapped out; maybe it can be protected. Maybe you know something that ruins this picture though.

Write the module name into:

or /etc/modules on Debian-style systems.
OpenRC's modules-load service reads configuration files from the following locations, in order of precedence

Is there a way to know the specifications of your cables?
Hi everyone!
Over the years, I’ve started having big collection of cables or dongles.
Mostly USB-C, USB-A to Micro USB, USB A to C, USB C to A, HDMI..
I was wondering how I could know their specifications as nothing is written on them. Maybe through a Linux program telling me how fast they can transfer data.
I was wondering also if there was a way to know how much power was sent to a device when these cables are used to power one. For instance, I’ve noticed that my Steam Deck battery was draining when playing games with 15TDP and being charged with an iPhone charger.
I don’t know if it’s useful, but here are my computers: Steam Deck running Steam OS, Surface Go 1 running Fedora Silverblue, MacBook Pro 2012 running PopOs.
I don’t want to buy anything to be able to measure how much data or power these cables can send😇
Thanks in advance for your help.

You should either buy a cable tester, not use high powered supplies or throw away what you have and buy cables you know are what they say they are.
Especially for power delivery, buy a tester. It’s cheaper than a house fire.

However, we would get monthly emails from the office manager detailing everyone's exact amount of overtime. Even though we were salary, we had to clock in and out to make sure we didn't work overtime. The nominal reason for these emails was to tell people to lower their overtime since it wasn't allowed. Those emails had the actual effect of ranking everyone by how much overtime they had worked and pressuring people with lower numbers to work later. People would regularly leave the office around 9 or 10pm. All hiring is done April 1st when a large cohort of college grads come in and they are expected to work there for life.

[brag + followup] configured and compiled a kernel for the first time ever 🛠️
Following the Arch wiki, I built a custom kernel for the first time ever. It was easier that I thought it'd be, probably because the Arch wiki is so thorough and because I didn't make that many changes... I just enabled a few FireWire related options as per this guide in order to work on this project (or this).
Results/takeaways
- The OS ran fine with the new kernel 💃
- I learned how to manually create GRUB entries 🔧
- I learned that I don't even have to create new GRUB entries, since I can simply point to the new kernel image and initramfs from the bootloader menu 🪛
- I learned that my 5800X3D runs well (compiles the new kernel blazingly fast) with all cores set to negative 30 in the UEFI
- FireWire is dead 💀
Tiny followup on that project
That old GPU did something to the UEFI (possibly CMOS?), because even after removing all potentially incompatible hardware and reinstalling my modern GPU, I still got that same error message, saying that the system was forces to boot in CSM mode. Only by resetting the UEFI settings was I able to restore the system to a working state. I admit, I panicked.
I'm building an analog video/audio capture rig, but..

Oh NO 🤣 I did successully install Gentoo once and I see the benefits. I really do. BUT. My brain works in such a way, that I need to understand every single USE flag, otherwise I "can't" install packages 😭 I simply can't allow myself to do a... "as is" installation with Gentoo... And I don't have to motivation right now to learn EVERYTHING I'd have to learn xD
Sorry, short answer: yes, later xD

in reply to eldavi • • •In times of pre-optimized repos (like CachyOS) it seems rather redundant from a performance perspective. Other reasons remain valid though (learning or specialized optimizations or requirements).
Alternatively, it can also be considered wasteful (electricity/compute) when everyone compiles their whole system instead of doing it once in a central server.

Compiling your own kernel is very intimidating at the beginning and one learns a lot after plunging down that rabbit hole
After some time it gets pretty straightforward. Just don't forget to enable the modules for your drive and filesystem (it has been a while, maybe that's not needed anymore) and the rest you can always fix with another compilation
That part where you got stuck even after switching hardware: yikes. I wouldn't expect that

[solved] How do you remove any trailing characters from a variable in bash?
Edit: Thank you all for your quick responses! No downtime at all with this project! 😁 More specifically, I followed the advice to put command line parameters in the script. By slapping a

ffmpeg, as one should - finally have found the encoding options that I'm happy with. 😁But instead of retyping the PhD dissertation that are the
ffmpegcommands that I use a bazillion times, I have simply started to do command substitution with for instanceor

After doing awconFILENAME, I noticed that there is an invisible trailing something after the filename - possibly some whitespace char - since it thinks that I mean to use an option "-synced.mkv".How would you go about writing the now bash script (it simply wouldn't expand the variable through command substitution...) so that the trailing whatever is deleted, if that is indeed the case? I have tried slapping " ", ' ', ( ), { } in all conceivable configurations, but I'm simply to inexperienced. xD

in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •First, did you look if the filename itself contains a trailing whitespace? I had this issue a few times myself, thinking the script is broken, but in fact the file on the filesystem had a space. That is annoying. If your variable has an additional space and you want to remove it, then I think its better to find out where this space comes from (if its not the file itself), and solve the issue there. Because if you get an unexpected space, then this could be a bug in your script somewhere.
There are multiple ways to remove leading and trailing whitespaces with Bash. The best is not to call a command for this and rely on Bash substitution. This can get ugly, but luckily we can steal from Stack Overflow, 😛 (basically what we did before Ai):

It may eventually be good, but it is taking a goddamn lifetime to do it. Completely mismanaged imo.
mmmm
in reply to atzanteol • • •Maybe what you call "basic functionality" isn't as "basic" to implement in code. Or maybe there aren't that many people that consider those functionalities "basic" (me for example).
All in all the hate towards wayland just does more harm than good and people limited on complaining and hating maybe should consider ways of actually improving it.

in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •(Note: I've not watched the video yet, but this is what I think of common hate towards every project mentioned)
systemd hate is just "fans" of the UNIX philosophy complaining that "it does too many things to get it right", while they follow a flawed philosophy and also fail to separate systemd the init and systemd the project.
Wayland hate is just silly, yeah it's not the same as X, but it's getting there while still avoiding becoming a total mess of software. Same with flatpak.
Ubuntu and snap hate is deserved because of how canonical is steering those projects.
GNOME hate though... I can totally understand the dislike for it. It can force too many opinions onto its users with not much choice, but thats kinda its thing, having a simple and consistent desktop experience. I kinda like their approach to a usable desktop.

in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •Speaking as someone who doesn't use any of these things, at least half the problem is the people who push these pieces of software. Hint: telling someone "oh, your preferred software is crap, use this instead" when what they have is already sufficient for their purposes makes you look like a liar and turns people against your message because they don't like being insulted. There are examples in the comments here already.
There is a type of person who instantly jumps on new software because it is new . . . and y'know, that's fine. We need those people, or software will never improve. However, most people don't think that way and need to be offered a compelling reason to change. "This new software has this great new feature" may be a compelling reason . . . for someone who needs or can use that feature. "The codebase of the software you're using is old and crufty and not attracting many developers" is not a compelling reason as long as there's at least one person around providing needed patches. Even "the software you're currently using is completely unmaintained" may not be a compelling reason if the software continues to work and doesn't have any known major security issues.

Anyone know how i can reset a free trial?
im on mac os and using this app called pencil+ along with an addon for blender so i can get nice outlines on 3D models. The app costs more than a years wage in my country so i cant afford it. The trial has all the features unlocked and lasts 14 days but even if i delete all files it installs it somehow still knows my trial is over.
Im assuming its phoning home and reporting my mac uuid or something to let it know my trial is over. Formatting the mac lets me restart the trial but i cant format my macbook every 14 days. Anyone know a good way i can reset the trial? It has an offline activation mode if you have a license key so maybe i can prevent it from going online and have it think im still in trial mode?
Any help is deeply appreciated

in reply to xnx • • •Maybe make timemachine backup before install, install only your app, try if timemachine restore can reset trial. Or compare filesystem before app install with after, see below.
Very technical way: try find every file
open/create during install or run. Linux has strace, macos has dtrace/execsnoop but depend on macos version difficult to setup. Then dump trace for all file operation (open/write/rename/...), find filepath from trace, try delete file that outside of directory you already try to delete. Prepare you might brick mac or not allowed because of tight security.
If not show any other file maybe also syscall trace useful if kernel give "uuid" to program. Also maybe macos has better way to debug app, like gdb maybe, and try to find all call to open , then intercept and log filepath like that.
Or install fresh system, take apfs snapshot (apparently possible using tmutil, or just make timemachine backup but iirc those not backup all file of system so might miss some), install only your app, take apfs snapshot, mount both snapshot and compare to find all change/new file. Maybe
rsync -avin newsnap oldsnapfor metadata compare orrsync -avicn newsnap oldsnapfor content checksum compare (if actually change content without metadata somehow) or snapshot or backup diff using other program, i think timemachine could show backup diff somehow.Edit: also wireshark for intercept and inspect network traffic.

FEP-c0d0: Context Locking
This is the main discussion thread for the draft FEP-c0d0: Context Locking
Summary
Context locking (and its inverse, unlocking) refer to the action whereby a topic no longer accepts new replies.
This proposal introduces a
lockedproperty on the context object, and a new activity type,Lock, to signal changes to a topic's locked state across the fediverse. Unlocking is expressed with the standard ActivityStreamsUndoactivity, applied to the originalLock. It builds on FEP 1b12: Group federation for audience identification (theaudienceproperty) and theAnnouncewrapping pattern, and on FEP fe34: Origin-based security model for authorization.This FEP is a sibling of FEP f15d: Context Relocation and Removal, which covers the
MoveandRemovemoderation actions.The full FEP text can be found at github.com/julianlam/feps/blob…

@profpatsch@mastodon.xyz good question! This FEP is specifically limited in scope for simplicity but does not preclude the use of additional mechanisms to allow for fine-grained privileges related to reply controls.
Reply controls are a whole 'nother ball game which is deserving of its own FEP. This deals with binary moderator/admin level locking of a topic for arbitrary reasons (spam, off-topic, inflammatory, etc.)
For example,
postingRestrictedToModsis something Lemmy, NodeBB, and Wordpress (among others) use to signal that a category can not be posted to freely.@silverpill@mitra.social's FEP-5219: Groups and permissions attempts to put together something similar, although I don't know if there has been any adoption.
I'm not entirely happy with
postingRestrictedToModseither, but it is what we have currently.fep/fep/5219/fep-5219.md at main

in reply to julian • • •Context locking is exactly the kind of thing that makes me both excited and nervous. Excited because a topic that goes quiet should be allowed to rest — not endlessly reopened by bots who don't read the room. Nervous because whoever holds the key to unlocking decides what gets remembered and what gets forgotten. That's a lot of power for a protocol layer.
How do you see the balance between 'the community decides this thread is done' versus 'an admin or the original poster can silence it'? I keep thinking the answer should live with the people who were actually in the conversation.
FenTiger
in reply to julian • • •@julian Should people be able to lock/unlock their own threads? Facebook supports this, and I've seen plenty of people ask for this on the Fediverse, too.
In my own notes I have separate "locked by moderator" and "locked by OP" properties, so that moderators and OPs can only undo their own locks, not each other's.

guix shellfor local development environments, for example when I need current Rust + cargo or an LSP package in Emacs.Guix is typically very little behind of Arch (which I use as well, in a VM), and depending on what you do, it now has a pretty massive package selection (well, less npm stuff or NVidia hardware support).
It is also quite good for packaging and distributing own software that way, offering for developers and power users a better solution to what flatpaks solve. Since it works across different distributions and across most popular languages, I expect it to become somewhat of a standard for bazaar-style open source contributions.

The declaritive system config is a game changer. I like it so much I would never go back to a distro that doesn't support it. The rollback feature has saved my @$$ a few times.
I haven't done any yet but I want to try packaging some software for guix. I think that's it's biggest downside, some packages not being availible on any channels forcing users to install via nix, flathub, or something else. In my experience it can add a bit of friction.

Emission Control in Continuous Tire Pyrolysis Plants
Continuous tire pyrolysis plants operate at sustained throughput, making emission control a core part of plant design rather than a secondary environmental measure. Unlike intermittent systems, continuous operation creates a steady stream of process gas, condensable vapor, and combustion exhaust. The treatment system therefore needs to maintain stable performance under prolonged thermal loading.
A well-designed emission control strategy combines airtight process equipment, controlled combustion, gas recovery, and downstream flue-gas treatment. The objective is not simply to remove pollutants after they form. It is to prevent uncontrolled emissions throughout the entire thermal conversion chain.
Why Continuous Operation Requires Robust Emission Management
Waste tires contain a complex mixture of natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, steel, additives, sulfur-containing compounds, and other constituents. During pyrolysis, these materials undergo thermal decomposition and generate a mixture of non-condensable gas and condensable hydrocarbons.
In a continuous tyre pyrolysis plant, fluctuations in feedstock composition can alter gas generation, heating demand, and combustion characteristics. Poorly controlled conditions may increase incomplete combustion products, particulate emissions, or volatile organic compounds.
This makes process stability an important component of environmental performance. Consistent feeding, temperature regulation, pressure control, and gas residence time help create a predictable operating envelope.

Airtight Pyrolysis as the First Emission Barrier
Emission control begins inside the pyrolysis system.
Airtight continuous pyrolysis reactor construction prevents process gas from escaping into the working environment. Sealed feeding and discharge systems are particularly important because these interfaces can otherwise become potential leakage points.
Slightly negative pressure can also help prevent process gas from migrating outward when properly integrated with the plant's pressure-control system.
Continuous monitoring of reactor pressure, temperature, and gas flow provides operational data for identifying abnormal conditions. Mechanical integrity should also be periodically inspected because thermal cycling and prolonged operation can affect seals, joints, and rotating components.
Controlled Combustion of Non-Condensable Gas
Non-condensable gas is one of the principal energy-bearing streams generated during tire pyrolysis. Rather than releasing it directly, a continuous plant can route the gas to a controlled combustion chamber or thermal oxidization system.
The combustion process converts combustible hydrocarbons into primarily carbon dioxide and water when adequate oxygen, temperature, and residence time are maintained.
Stable combustion requires careful control of the air-to-fuel ratio. Excess air can reduce thermal efficiency, while insufficient oxygen may promote incomplete combustion and increase carbon monoxide or unburned hydrocarbon emissions.
Automatic temperature and oxygen control can therefore help maintain consistent combustion conditions as feedstock and gas composition fluctuate.
Flue-Gas Treatment and Pollutant Reduction
Combustion alone may not be sufficient to satisfy applicable emission limits. The final treatment configuration depends on local regulations, feedstock characteristics, plant scale, and the composition of the exhaust stream.
Particulate control can be achieved through appropriate filtration or dust-collection equipment. Acidic gases may require dedicated neutralization or scrubbing processes. Where sulfur-containing compounds are significant, desulfurization may be incorporated into the treatment train.
Volatile organic compounds and other combustion-related pollutants can be addressed through optimized thermal oxidation and, where required, additional treatment stages.
The treatment train should be engineered around measured or reasonably characterized gas composition rather than relying on a generic equipment configuration.
Managing Sulfur and Other Tire-Derived Compounds
Sulfur deserves particular attention in tire pyrolysis because many tires contain sulfur-based vulcanization additives.
During thermal conversion and subsequent combustion, sulfur-containing compounds can form sulfur oxides. Their concentration depends on tire composition and process conditions.
A dedicated sulfur-control strategy may therefore be required. This can involve feedstock characterization, controlled combustion, and downstream desulfurization.
Feedstock screening is also useful for identifying materials that could introduce elevated levels of chlorine, metals, or other contaminants. Reducing variability at the input stage makes downstream emission control more predictable.
Monitoring for Long-Term Compliance
A continuous plant needs more than emission-control hardware. It requires a monitoring framework capable of demonstrating stable performance over time.
Key operating parameters can include reactor temperature, combustion temperature, oxygen concentration, pressure, gas flow, and treatment-system status. Depending on local requirements, stack emissions may also need periodic or continuous measurement.
Data logging creates an operational record that can support environmental reporting, equipment diagnostics, and regulatory inspections. Alarm systems can identify deviations before they develop into major process disturbances.
Regular maintenance is equally important. Filters, scrubbers, ducts, burners, valves, and sensors gradually deteriorate or accumulate deposits during operation. Preventive maintenance helps preserve the designed treatment efficiency.
Integrating Emission Control Into Plant Design
Emission control in a continuous tire pyrolysis plant is most effective when treated as an integrated process architecture. Feedstock management, reactor sealing, thermal conversion, gas recovery, combustion, flue-gas treatment, and monitoring should operate as interconnected systems.
The central principle is to control emissions at multiple points rather than depend on a single end-of-pipe device. Airtight equipment limits fugitive releases. Controlled combustion manages process gas. Flue-gas treatment addresses residual pollutants. Continuous monitoring provides operational verification.
This layered approach improves environmental resilience and helps a tire pyrolysis facility maintain stable performance under continuous operating conditions. It also provides a more robust foundation for meeting site-specific environmental requirements as regulatory expectations become increasingly stringent.

How Philippines Apartment Projects Plan Concrete Placement
Apartment construction in the Philippines often requires concrete to travel through a constrained chain of production, delivery, pumping, and placement. The challenge becomes more pronounced as buildings rise and available ground space diminishes. Dense residential districts may provide limited room for mixer trucks, while narrow access roads, neighboring structures, overhead utilities, and active traffic can restrict equipment positioning. For apartment projects, concrete placement therefore needs to be planned around the actual geometry of the site rather than around equipment capacity alone. The selected pumping method should correspond to the building height, pour volume, access conditions, pumping distance, work sequence, and expected continuity of concrete supply.
Different construction stages can also require different concrete pumping arrangements. A foundation pour may favor one system, while upper-floor slabs or columns may demand another. Instead of assuming that one machine must serve the entire project, contractors can evaluate the concrete route at each stage and select equipment according to the prevailing constraint. This approach makes concrete placement more adaptable and helps prevent equipment access, pumping distance, or interrupted supply from becoming a hidden bottleneck.
Plan Concrete Placement Around the Apartment Site Layout
Ground-Level Access Determines Where Concrete Can Enter
The first consideration is the point where concrete can physically reach the project. Apartment sites may have narrow entrances or limited internal space because of property boundaries, temporary fencing, neighboring buildings, and other construction equipment. A mixer truck may be able to approach the site entrance but still remain too far from the actual pour.
In this situation, contractors can separate the concrete delivery point from the placement point. Concrete is discharged where the delivery vehicle can safely position itself, then transported through a pumping line to the foundation, slab, column, or wall being constructed. This simple change in site logistics can make a constrained plot much more workable.
Building Geometry Changes as Construction Progresses
An apartment project rarely maintains the same concrete route throughout construction. During foundation work, the primary concern may be excavation depth and horizontal pipeline length. Once the structural frame rises, vertical pumping and floor-to-floor access become more important. Later, completed structures may further restrict ground-level vehicle movement.
Concrete Planning Should Follow Construction Stages
Rather than fixing the pumping arrangement at the beginning of the project, contractors can review equipment requirements according to each major pour. This staged approach allows the pumping method to evolve as the building footprint, elevation, and access conditions change.
Match Pumping Equipment to the Type of Pour
Concrete Boom Pumps Suit Large or Elevated Placement Areas
A concrete boom pump for sale can be useful when apartment construction requires concrete to reach elevated or difficult-to-access areas from a relatively fixed truck position. The articulated boom provides a controlled placing route and can reduce the need for extensive manual hose handling. This can be particularly relevant for large slabs, structural frames, and multi-floor construction where the placing point changes across a broad working area.
However, contractors still need to examine the available setup space, boom reach, obstruction clearance, and truck positioning requirements. A boom pump is not simply selected according to building height. The actual geometry between the machine and the placing area determines whether its reach is suitable.
Concrete Mixer and Pump Systems Combine Production With Placement
Smaller apartment developments may have a different requirement. When concrete demand is moderate and the project has limited space for separate machinery, a concrete mixer and pump can combine mixing and pumping in one workflow. The system can produce concrete and deliver it through a pipeline toward the required placement area, reducing the number of separate equipment interfaces on the site.
Integrated Equipment Can Simplify Intermittent Concrete Work
This arrangement can be particularly relevant when concrete is needed for foundations, columns, beams, retaining walls, or smaller slab sections at different times. Instead of maintaining separate mixing and pumping operations for relatively modest pours, contractors can coordinate production and placement through one compact system.
Portable Concrete Pumps Fit Changing Work Zones
A portable concrete pump can provide flexibility when the pumping position needs to change between construction stages or when a truck-mounted boom pump cannot occupy the required location. Its compact arrangement can allow the pump to remain at an accessible position while pipeline sections extend toward the actual work area.
For apartment projects with narrow plots, this configuration can be valuable because the pump itself does not need to follow every change in the placing point. The pipeline can instead form the bridge between an accessible equipment position and the concrete placement zone.
Use Stationary Pumping for Repeated Vertical Delivery
Stationary Pumps Suit Structured High-Rise Pumping Routes
As an apartment building rises, repeated vertical concrete delivery can become a defining logistical issue. A stationary concrete pump for sale in the Philippines can remain at a designated ground-level position while concrete travels through a pipeline toward higher floors. This arrangement avoids repeatedly positioning a large vehicle near each placement area and can support a more systematic pumping route.
Pipeline Design Becomes Part of the Construction Plan
For stationary pumping, contractors should establish the pipeline route before major pours begin. Vertical sections, horizontal runs, bends, pipe diameter, support points, and the final placing arrangement all influence pumping conditions. A poorly planned route can create unnecessary resistance and complicate maintenance, even when the pump itself has sufficient theoretical capacity.
Continuous Supply Must Match the Pumping Rate
Apartment concrete placement also depends on synchronization between concrete arrival and pumping. If the pump is ready but concrete supply is interrupted, the pour can lose continuity. Conversely, excessive delivery without sufficient placing capacity can create congestion around the discharge area. The concrete supply rate, pump output, crew size, and placement sequence should therefore be planned as a single operational cycle.
Coordinate Concrete Placement With the Overall Work Schedule
Equipment Positioning Should Protect Other Construction Activities
Concrete placement rarely occurs in isolation. Cranes, reinforcement crews, formwork teams, material deliveries, and workers may all require access to the same area. The pumping system should occupy as little critical circulation space as practical while leaving clear routes for essential construction activities.
Different Pours May Justify Different Pumping Solutions
There is no requirement for every apartment project to use one pumping method from foundation to roof. A boom pump may handle a large structural pour, a concrete mixer pump may suit smaller concrete works, a portable pump may address changing access conditions, and a stationary pump may support repeated vertical delivery as the building rises.
The central planning principle is straightforward: concrete placement should follow the project's physical constraints. By assessing access, elevation, pour volume, pipeline geometry, equipment footprint, and supply continuity at each construction stage, Philippine apartment contractors can establish a concrete delivery system that remains workable as the building changes from excavation to structure and eventually to upper-floor construction.

The Inherited Sofa Problem — And How Fabric Solves It
Nobody prepares you for the emotional weight of dead people's furniture.
It shows up in a moving truck or sits waiting after the estate is settled. A large, well-built sofa in a pattern that doesn't belong in your home. You didn't pick it. You can't return it. Throwing it away makes you feel like a terrible person.
So you keep it. You rearrange your living room around a piece you never wanted. You cover it with blankets that slide off every time someone sits down.
The guilt is understandable, but it's solving the wrong problem. What you actually need is a way to make the sofa yours without erasing why it matters.
Look Past the Surface
Most people evaluate furniture based on appearance. With inherited pieces, that's a mistake.
The upholstery — the foam, fabric, batting, and cushion inserts — is what ages visibly. It sags, fades, pills, and goes stiff. But underneath all of that sits a frame that was likely built to outlast several rounds of fabric.
Furniture produced thirty or forty years ago used solid hardwood, proper joinery, and real spring systems. Mass-produced modern equivalents often substitute engineered board and staples. The older construction philosophy prioritized longevity over manufacturing speed.
Before you make any decisions, give the frame a physical test. Push the arms and press the back. Lift one corner and see how much the opposite leg stays grounded. A sturdy frame with minor wear is worth saving.
A well-built skeleton is genuinely difficult to source today at moderate price points. Keeping what you already have sidesteps that search entirely.
Understanding the Process
This work is structural, not decorative. That distinction matters when setting expectations.
The piece gets stripped completely. Every layer of fabric, every piece of batting, every cushion comes off until only bare wood remains. A technician inspects every joint and re-glues or re-secures anything loose. Springs get re-tied and webbing gets replaced where it has stretched or torn.
From there, new foam fills the cushions, fresh batting wraps the frame, and hand-fitted fabric covers the whole structure. Sofa reupholstery follows a strict sequence because each step supports the next. Rushing produces visible flaws within weeks.
The timeline reflects the labor involved. A complete project typically takes several weeks in a busy workshop. That duration is normal, not a sign of inefficiency.
You're essentially getting two outcomes at once: mechanical restoration below the surface and a visual transformation above it. Both contribute to how the piece feels when you sit down every evening.
Fabric Changes Everything
If the frame is the skeleton, the fabric is the face. It's what you and everyone else sees first.
Choosing it wisely is the single most impactful decision in this entire process. A dark, heavy tapestry replaced with soft dove-gray cotton turns a formal relic into an everyday favorite. Same frame, opposite impression.
Three areas deserve your attention before you commit to any material.
Durability under pressure. Homes with pets, children, or heavy daily use need textiles that resist abrasion. Look at double rub counts — a metric the industry uses to measure wear resistance. Numbers above 25,000 to 30,000 serve well in active households.
Color in your actual space. Swatches behave differently under store fluorescents than beside your own windows. Tape samples to the piece and check them morning and evening. Texture matters as well, since you'll feel it every time you sit down.
Scale of any pattern. A plaid or stripe that looks restrained on a small sample can dominate a full-length sofa. Ask the craftsperson how the pattern will align at seams and cushion breaks. Proper matching takes skill and will influence the estimate.
Experienced professionals offering sofa reupholstery guidance can prevent costly mistakes at this stage. They know which textiles endure and which fail under real household conditions. Listening to them early saves money and frustration later.
One financial reality worth noting: good fabric is expensive. A three-seat sofa can require fifteen to eighteen yards or more. Set a per-yard ceiling before you begin browsing, or the total will escalate beyond your plan.
Design Tweaks You Can Make Along the Way
A stripped frame offers room for adjustments that go well beyond fabric selection. Small revisions can shift the entire visual direction.
Removing a skirt and exposing the legs gives the piece an airier feel. Replacing short, blocky legs with tapered ones changes the silhouette dramatically. Swapping three separate seat cushions for a single bench cushion introduces a modern edge.
Piping, nailhead trim, and tufted buttons can all be added or removed during the rebuild. Professional sofa upholstery services handle these modifications as a routine part of the process. None require altering the frame's core structure.
Think of each change as a conversation between your taste and the furniture's history. You're not erasing the past — you're translating it into a language that fits your home. The result is a piece that feels curated rather than inherited.
What Drives the Cost
People want a simple answer to the price question. The honest answer is that it varies.
Labor is the dominant expense. A standard sofa demands twenty to forty hours of skilled handwork. Quotations from sofa upholstery services generally break down into three categories: labor hours, fabric yardage, and any structural or cushion repairs.
The investment makes strong sense when the frame is solidly built and perfectly scaled for your room. It also makes sense when the piece holds sentimental value — which inherited furniture almost always does.
The case weakens when the original construction was cheap or the frame shows serious damage. If the total approaches the cost of a high-quality new sofa, the comparison deserves honest scrutiny. Always request at least two or three quotes, since regional pricing can differ significantly.
A trustworthy professional will tell you plainly when a project is not worth pursuing. That kind of honesty is the most reliable indicator of a shop worth trusting.
Selecting the Right Workshop
The craftsperson you choose determines the outcome as much as any material decision you make.
Referrals remain the most dependable way to find quality shops. Ask friends who have had furniture reworked. Speak with local designers or visit a fabric store and ask which upholsterers customers trust most.
During your search, request photographs of completed work — especially pieces with similar shapes or styles. Confirm the shop handles frame repair and foam replacement rather than simply stretching new fabric over old padding. A detailed written estimate should list labor, materials, yardage, pickup, and delivery.
Workshops that provide fabric yardage numbers demonstrate transparency and allow you to source material independently. Shops that ask about sunlight, pets, and daily habits are thinking about how the piece will age. Both qualities signal professionalism worth prioritizing.
Expect a meaningful wait. Well-regarded workshops carry full schedules because careful work resists compression. If someone can begin immediately, it is worth asking why their calendar is empty.
What Stays and What Changes
Decades of family life are embedded in that frame — meals shared, naps taken, conversations held. The wood remembers what the fabric cannot.
You chose new colors, new textures, and new details. The object your family loved remains in active use. It belongs to your daily life now, not just your conscience.
Someday someone will inherit it again and face the same choice. They'll keep what matters and change what doesn't. That cycle is the entire point.

Their operations seemed purposely created to create as much outrage as possible without actually effectively damaging the oil industry in any measurable way.
It doesn't help that they were funded by a fucking Getty oil heiress. So it's hard for me to determine if it was actually a false flag operation or just the good intentions of a incompetent billionaire.

The laws getting passed at least shows people how the law is being used to benefit the rich and powerful. The previous unspoken rule gave the people in power plausible deniability. I'm not some huge fan of Just Stop Oil but the edges of the laws should always be probed by activists, imo.

Cold-chain probe log: seventeen probe tips before the cooler seals
Cold-chain close is a probe tip log, not a hand on the door. Seventeen probe tips get a written line before the cooler seals. Miss a line and the night lead keeps the radio.
The log hangs on a clip inside the cooler vestibule. Header lists T1 through T17. Those codes match the physical probe slots on the rack, not wishful nicknames. If a slot is retired, reprint the header the same day.
Walk the tips in order
Start at T1 with a dry pen and a charged light. Read the display once. Confirm the tip is seated, the cable is undamaged, and the reading is in range. Write three short marks. Move. Do not rewrite essays at T1 while T17 waits behind a pallet.
Each line needs: tip seated (yes/no), cable intact (yes/no), reading in range (yes/no). Add one extra word for trouble — drift, fray, open — then keep walking. Full incident detail goes on the red cold-chain pad, not on this log.
Radio “probe log complete” only after T17. Then seal the cooler. Sixteen lines with a blank seventeenth is a failed log. The far rack loves hiding an open tip.
Empty slots still get a line. Write EMPTY plus the code. Erasing a row because “that product never ships tonight” is how blind corners return. Tagged-out probes get OOS plus the work-order number.
Cost of a blank probe line
Blank is not later. Blank is an unread tip. Morning then finds a drifted reading, a frayed cable, or an open connector, and the day crew debates who left the mess. The log ends that debate.
A missing T11 once delayed an outbound chilled load. A missing T4 once hid a tip left hanging in air. Both needed one honest line, not a meeting.
When the problem is real, the log still helps. You can show which tips were checked and which were not. That narrows the window instead of blaming the whole cooler.
Where this log sits with the other night boards
This cold-chain probe log is separate from the extinguisher tag board, the shrink-wrap seal card, and the pallet jack check. Same discipline, different surface: write before you claim sealed.
When quality wants a week of cooler photos as one clean PDF for review, we merge the phone shots in tip order instead of dumping a chat thread. A quick merge on pdfmergefiles.com keeps T1–T17 readable. Put the date and “T1-T17” in the filename so nobody hunts a chat scroll.
Keep the physical logs thirty days even after you photo them. Auditors like a dated paper trail more than a gallery.
Failure modes we keep killing
Yesterday’s log left on the clip. Skipping far tips in a hurry. Phone photos instead of written marks. Clipboard left on a forklift seat. Each one seals the cooler while a tip stays unread.
Fix stays dull: clipboard on the vestibule hook, today’s date stamp, T1→T17 in order, radio only after T17.
Another quiet failure is rewriting marks after the radio call. If you need a second look, walk again before you claim complete. Do not invent a cleaner page at the desk.
Teaching the next night lead
Night one: they write, you watch. Night two: they walk alone, you check the log before seal. Night three: they own the radio call. Seal authority waits until that sequence holds.
Neat identical “yes” marks copied from memory fail harder than messy honest ones. Send them back out. Have them point at each tip while reading the line aloud.
If they say seventeen is too many, recount the slots together. Fewer slots means a new header the same day. Seventeen slots means seventeen lines.
Morning handoff
Day shift reads seventeen lines before the first chilled pick. No standup required. “Drift” means start there. Clean log still gets a glance at T17.
Binder archive for thirty days. Photo if the binder is full. Merge photos when quality asks for a week. Always merge in T1 order.
Scope we refuse
No cooler Wi-Fi tablets that die in the cold. No QR scavenger hunts on wet floors. No thirty-page probe SOP at 23:50. Seventeen tips, three fields, one radio call.
Permanent slot removal means reprint the header the same day. Invented T18 gets stopped. Scope creep kills the log faster than laziness.
Last soft check
Say T1 through T17 aloud. A skipped code means skipped feet. Then seal.
Safer seals come from seventeen written tip lines, not from hoping the cooler felt cold. Fill the log, then seal.

Just unpacking the archive basically installs it. Restarting Steam is enough. There are tools that manage these custom Proton versions. I leave you a few relevant links:It has additional fixes to Proton and is often more up to date. Some launchers such as Heroic Launcher I think integrate it too, so its usable outside Steam. I linked a gui tool to manage that, but you don't need a manager if you simply download and unpack the archive yourself.

Oversized Tile Showdown: Ceramic and Porcelain Compared for Real-World Use
Ceramic vs. Porcelain Large Format Tiles: Durability, Cost and Best Uses
Walk through any tile retailer today and the change is unmistakable. Compact squares that once filled every wall display are increasingly hard to find. Large format tiles have claimed that space, and the shift makes sense.
Fewer grout lines. A cleaner look. Rooms that feel bigger and more seamless. What is not to like?
But once you start comparing options, you run into a decision that trips up a lot of homeowners: ceramic or porcelain? They look similar on a shelf. They are often displayed side by side. And the price difference can be confusing, sometimes significant, sometimes barely noticeable.
First, What Is the Actual Difference?
Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are made from clay and fired in a kiln. That is where the family resemblance ends. Porcelain is made from a finer, denser clay. It is fired at higher temperatures, usually around 1,200°C or more. The result is a harder, denser, less porous tile.
Standard ceramic is made from a coarser clay, often red or brown in color underneath the glaze, and fired at lower temperatures. It is softer and more porous, though the glaze on top gives it its color and protection.
In plain terms: porcelain is the tougher cousin. Ceramic is the cheaper, lighter, easier-to-cut one. Both have their place.
Durability: Where Porcelain Pulls Ahead
Let us start with the category porcelain wins outright.
Porcelain's density makes it resistant to just about everything. Water, stains, scratches, heavy foot traffic, freeze-thaw cycles outdoors. Its water absorption rate is under 0.5%, which is why it is rated for outdoor use in cold climates. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and porcelain shrugs it off.
Ceramic absorbs more water. Not a huge amount, but enough that it is generally not recommended for outdoor use in places where winters get cold. Indoors, though? It holds up fine in most rooms.
Now, here is where large format tiles complicate the picture a bit.
Large tiles, anything bigger than roughly 15x15 inches, with some now measuring five feet or more, are more demanding than standard tiles. They flex less across their span, which means the surface underneath has to be flat. Really flat. They are also heavier and harder to handle during installation.
Ceramic's softer body is actually a small advantage here if you are a DIYer. It scores and snaps with a basic cutter. Porcelain, especially in large sizes, often needs a quality wet saw and a diamond blade. Some installers charge more for porcelain for exactly this reason.
But once installed, porcelain large format tiles are hard to beat. They handle high-traffic areas, commercial floors, and busy households without complaint. If you are tiling an entryway, a kitchen floor, or a commercial space, porcelain is usually the safer call. Ceramic large format tiles work well on walls, in light-traffic bathrooms, and in rooms where the floor does not take a beating. Just know its limits.
Cost: More Complicated Than You Would Think
Here is where people get surprised. Yes, porcelain generally costs more than ceramic per square foot. Ballpark figures:
But the gap has narrowed a lot. Mass-produced porcelain from major manufacturers is often priced close to mid-range ceramic. Meanwhile, handcrafted or imported ceramic can cost more than basic porcelain. The label alone does not tell you the price anymore.
The real cost difference often shows up in installation, especially with large format tiles.
Large tiles need more prep. The subfloor has to be flat within tight tolerances, or you will get lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than its neighbor. That means more self-leveling compound, more thinset, and more labor time. Installers may also charge extra for porcelain because it is harder and slower to cut.
So a realistic budget comparison for a 200-square-foot room might look like this:
If you are only staying in a home a few years, ceramic might be all you need. If this is your forever house or a rental property, porcelain's lifespan usually justifies the extra cost.
One more thing worth mentioning: visit a ceramic tile shop in person if you can. Online photos hide a lot. Tile color, texture, and finish look different under showroom lighting than on a screen, and seeing full-size slabs side by side makes the ceramic-versus-porcelain decision much easier. Staff at a good shop can also tell you what is in stock locally, which matters more than people expect when you need three extra boxes mid-project.
Where Each One Shines
Let us make this practical. Here is where each material makes sense.
Choose porcelain large format tiles for:
Choose ceramic large format tiles for:
A Few Things That Apply to Both
Whichever material you pick, large format tiles come with shared realities:
Your subfloor matters more than your tile choice. A slightly uneven floor that is invisible under small tiles becomes obvious under 24x48-inch ones. Budget for leveling compound.
Grout lines will be minimal, so what is left counts. Even two grout lines across a big tile surface stand out. Take time picking a grout color that works.
Rectified edges are worth it. Rectified tiles are cut to exact dimensions after firing, allowing tighter grout joints and a cleaner overall look. Most large format tiles are rectified, but double-check.
Buy 10–15% extra. Breakage happens. Dye lots vary. Running short mid-project is a headache nobody wants.
The Bottom Line
There is no universal winner here. It depends on the room, the budget, and how long you need the floor to last. If durability is the priority, or the tile is going somewhere tough, porcelain wins. It costs more upfront but rarely needs replacing.
If cost is the priority, or the tile is going on a wall or in a low-traffic spot, ceramic does the job nicely. Modern ceramic looks great and saves real money.
And if you are still torn, do what the pros do: pick your top two or three options, get samples, and live with them for a few days. Lay them in the actual room. Look at them in morning light and evening light. Tile is a long-term decision. A little patience before you buy beats regret after installation.
The best tile is not the most expensive one or the trendiest one. It is the one that fits the space, the budget, and the way you actually live.

Flatpaks are NOT any more secure than system packages, and their “sandboxing” should not be trusted to accomplish anything.

in reply to Azazel • • •This is not about defending corporations. It doesn't matter who does that, I don't think writing new tools with a different license is bad. My opinion has nothing to do about who does that, if communities, or corporations. I think having tools in a different language than C, especially something like Rust, is a good thing. Anyone who writes Rust code can read, adapt and make changes to it.
And for licensing, GPL can be problematic in some cases that is not compatible with every license. Therefore having an alternative in MIT license is a good thing. Even if it ends up being in a proprietary program, its still better than not able to use the code. The old GPL code is still maintained independently.
Azazel
in reply to thingsiplay • • •I actually an agree an independent rust project would be really cool. If it was also GPL. I have yet to encounter any argument against GPL that doesn’t boil down to corpo boot licking.
You say “Even if it ends up being in a proprietary program, it’s better than not being able to use the code”. This is a bad faith argument. Everyone can use GPL code freely, the restriction is only that you must also publish under GPL if you publish. I’m sorry your favorite corporation can’t profit off community projects without giving back to that community… not. If GPL was a real problem BSD would have overtaken Linux ages ago. But it didn’t because GPL is good not just for the community but for the project. The only people that don’t stand to gain from GPL are corporations that want to monopolize the technology.
thingsiplay
in reply to Azazel • • •One example is that GPL games cannot be published in Steam, with using Steams proprietary tools and features.
And in general I am not actually against for any company to use MIT licensed products without open sourcing their own proprietary tools. It would be nice if they open sourced it, but I am against in forcing companies to do so. Now I understand the risks involved here, but its not like MIT license is the devil, just like GPL can be problematic in some cases, MIT can too.
Azazel
in reply to thingsiplay • • •Corporations are by their nature entities with priorities that are not aligned to the good of society. It is natural and obvious that we do everything in our power to compel them to do the best thing for society rather than the best thing for them.
Also while valve tends to be a pretty fair company they don’t need to be proprietary. Their product is selling game licenses and server space for cloud sync, none of that requires a closed source client. So while valve may be my favorite corpo they don’t get a pass from my previous statement about not being sympathetic to wanting to profit of community projects without giving back.
The exact problem you point out is in my view a feature not a bug because it means there is an economic advantage to someone doing what steam does but open source. Which is exactly the sort of incentive that helps capitalism help people.

AI has tells they built in nowadays. If you use the newer models at least. But in addition...its pretty easy to just find the code in codebases if you end up in an audit.
Im not defending it, just saying that MIT is one of those that you can get away with a lot more than other licenses. And that might be an issue to some.
thingsiplay
in reply to mesa • • •I can't speak for medical field... but a more serious topic, in example videogames. 😁
I think sometimes GPL can be in the way, so it is a tradeoff. In example if you use proprietary Steam features in your game, then you cannot build the game with GPL libraries and code, because that is not compatible with proprietary code. For some that is exactly what the GPL is set to do, for others its hindering games and other software to be released on Steam with Steam features. That means, its impossible to sell GPL software on Steam, if you want to use any of those features (I think in example Achievements and online save files in example). MIT would solve this issue.
mesa
in reply to thingsiplay • • •Ill be honest, I know of GPL but I know theres like 5 different versions of the GPL. Like AGPL is the most restrictive and has held up in court before because someone forked a project then stripped out everything, sold it again. And was deemed liable.
MIT could potentially solve it...or make it even more messy. Ill believe you on videogames.
If I were to guess, its probably moot in all cases unless it goes to court (or like my orgs not let you use software) and gets defended one way or another.

Canonical sells products and support to corporations. The gpl is a problem for corporations because it requires that they contribute their changes back into the commons, creating additional overhead in many ways.
Canonical is funding, prioritizing and providing support for a rewrite of a gpl project in a different language with a more permissive license.
Put two and two together. Canonical is bankrolling and pushing something that materially benefits them.

in reply to TrollAccount69 • • •But from all the things why core-utils? I don't think it is common to need changes in core-utils. Now with this MIT version it may certainly be needed, because of broken compatibility. So it feels like instead of doing nothing (because they work as is) and using GNU core-utils they switch to MIT core-utils that are slightly incompatible and because of that need work. I would assume that it will certainly provide patches for MIT core-utils, but I am sure it will just make another platform target for scripts like macOS. Some GPL projects will change their scripts to make them work with Ubuntu.
I guess corporations will corporate.

Plastic Pyrolysis to Fuel Oil: What Grade of Fuel Does It Produce?
Plastic pyrolysis is increasingly being considered as a way to recover value from waste plastics that are difficult to recycle through conventional mechanical processes. One of the main products is pyrolysis oil, which can potentially be used as an industrial fuel or further upgraded for higher-value applications. But an important question for investors and recycling companies is: What grade of fuel does plastic pyrolysis to fuel oil actually produce?
The answer depends on the feedstock, pyrolysis conditions, reactor design, and post-treatment process. In most cases, untreated plastic pyrolysis oil is considered an industrial fuel oil or intermediate fuel product, rather than a direct replacement for finished transportation fuels such as gasoline or diesel.
What Is Plastic Pyrolysis Oil?
During pyrolysis process plastic to fuel machine, waste plastics are heated in an oxygen-limited environment. Instead of burning the plastic, the process thermally decomposes long polymer chains into smaller hydrocarbon molecules.
The resulting vapors are cooled through a condensation system, producing liquid pyrolysis oil. Non-condensable gases can generally be recycled as process fuel, while solid residues and other impurities are separated from the main liquid product.
The composition of the oil is strongly influenced by the type of plastic being processed. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) can produce different hydrocarbon distributions and therefore different oil properties.
What Grade of Fuel Is Produced?
For many commercial projects, raw plastic pyrolysis oil is best described as an industrial-grade fuel oil rather than a finished road fuel.
Its properties can make it suitable for certain industrial heating applications, depending on local regulations, specifications, and the characteristics of the produced oil. Potential applications may include industrial boilers, furnaces, and other thermal equipment designed to use appropriate liquid fuels.
However, raw pyrolysis oil should not automatically be classified as standard diesel. Diesel for road transportation must meet specific fuel standards covering parameters such as sulfur content, flash point, density, viscosity, distillation characteristics, and other quality requirements.
Therefore, simply producing liquid oil from waste plastic does not mean that the product is automatically equivalent to commercial diesel.
Why Feedstock Determines Oil Quality
Feedstock selection is one of the most important factors affecting plastic pyrolysis oil quality.
PE and PP are commonly considered favorable feedstocks because they consist mainly of hydrocarbon polymers. Their pyrolysis products can contain significant quantities of hydrocarbon fractions suitable for fuel applications.
PS behaves differently because its structure favors the formation of aromatic compounds. This can influence the density, composition, and other properties of the resulting oil.
PVC presents a particular challenge because it contains chlorine. Thermal processing of PVC can generate hydrogen chloride and chlorine-containing compounds, creating corrosion and contamination concerns. For this reason, PVC content should be carefully controlled, and appropriate dechlorination and gas-treatment systems may be required.
Raw Oil vs. Upgraded Fuel
There is an important difference between raw pyrolysis oil and upgraded pyrolysis oil.
Raw oil may contain a broad range of hydrocarbons and impurities. Depending on the feedstock and process, additional treatment may be necessary before the oil can meet a specific commercial fuel specification.
Upgrading may include filtration, distillation, dechlorination, desulfurization, stabilization, or other refining steps. These processes can separate different boiling fractions and improve properties such as viscosity and volatility.
The appropriate treatment depends on the intended end use. An oil intended for industrial heating does not necessarily require the same specifications as a product intended for further refining or petrochemical applications.
Is Plastic Pyrolysis Oil the Same as Diesel?
No. This distinction is important when evaluating a plastic recycling project.
Although plastic pyrolysis oil can contain hydrocarbon fractions within ranges associated with conventional petroleum fuels, its overall composition and properties can differ significantly from commercial diesel. Meeting a diesel specification requires controlled refining and quality testing rather than simply collecting the condensed oil.
For this reason, project developers should define the target product before selecting a pyrolysis system. If the goal is industrial fuel, the process can be designed around the relevant industrial fuel requirements. If the goal is a higher-value hydrocarbon feedstock, additional upgrading and purification may be necessary.
How to Determine the Fuel Grade
Before investing in a plastic pyrolysis project, the oil should be evaluated through laboratory testing. Important parameters may include density, viscosity, flash point, distillation range, sulfur, chlorine, water, ash, and other relevant characteristics.
The test results can then be compared with the specifications required by the intended market and end-use equipment.
This approach is more reliable than assigning a fuel grade based solely on the appearance or yield of the oil.
Conclusion
Plastic pyrolysis to fuel oil generally produces an industrial-grade pyrolysis oil rather than automatically producing finished diesel or gasoline. Its quality depends heavily on feedstock composition, operating conditions, condensation efficiency, and downstream purification.
For waste plastic recycling projects, the most practical strategy is to define the desired end product first and then design the pyrolysis and upgrading system around the required specifications. With appropriate treatment and quality control, plastic pyrolysis oil can move beyond basic waste-derived fuel and potentially become a more valuable hydrocarbon resource for industrial or petrochemical applications.

Biochar Machines for Metallurgical Applications: Producing Reducing Agents and Carbon Additives
The metallurgical industry relies heavily on carbonaceous materials as reducing agents, carburizing materials, and process additives. Traditionally, these materials may include coke, coal, and other fossil-derived carbon sources. Biochar produced through controlled biomass pyrolysis offers another carbonaceous material for selected metallurgical applications, particularly where renewable carbon, controlled ash content, and specific physical properties are important.
How Pyrolysis Converts Biomass into Metallurgical Carbon
A biochar pyrolysis reactor thermally decomposes biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Instead of allowing the feedstock to combust, controlled heating drives off volatile compounds and concentrates carbon in the remaining solid fraction.
Feedstock selection has a direct influence on the resulting biochar. Woody biomass, agricultural residues, nut shells, and other lignocellulosic materials can produce biochar with different fixed-carbon content, ash composition, porosity, and volatile-matter levels. These characteristics determine whether the material is suitable for a particular metallurgical process.
Process temperature is equally significant. Higher pyrolysis temperatures generally increase carbonization and reduce volatile matter, while also changing pore structure and mechanical characteristics. Consequently, biochar production should be designed around the specifications required by the downstream metallurgical application.
Biochar as a Renewable Reducing Agent
Many metallurgical processes require carbon to remove oxygen from metal oxides. Carbon reacts with oxygen-bearing compounds and contributes to the formation of reducing gases such as carbon monoxide.
Biochar can potentially serve as a renewable carbon source in selected reduction processes. Its relatively high reactivity can be advantageous because its porous structure provides substantial surface area for gas-solid reactions. However, its suitability depends on fixed-carbon content, ash chemistry, volatile matter, particle size, strength, and reaction conditions.
A metallurgical application therefore requires characterization rather than assuming that all biochar performs identically to conventional coke.
Carbon Additives for Process Control
Carbon additives are also used to adjust carbon concentration during metallurgical processing. Depending on the process, a carbonaceous additive may influence melt chemistry, reduction behavior, slag interactions, or final material composition.
Biochar can be processed into a specified particle size or further densified when the application requires improved handling characteristics. Pelletization or briquetting can increase bulk density and reduce the variability associated with loose biomass-derived carbon.
The final formulation should account for ash and mineral constituents. Alkali metals, silica, calcium, and other inorganic components naturally present in biomass can influence slag chemistry and furnace operation.
Reactor Design Influences Biochar Quality
The thermal uniformity of a biochar pyrolysis reactor is critical for producing consistent carbon properties. Uneven heating can result in different degrees of carbonization within the same production batch, creating variability in volatile matter and fixed-carbon content.
Industrial systems therefore require controlled feeding, temperature monitoring, residence-time management, and effective discharge cooling. Cooling is particularly important because freshly produced biochar can remain hot and may oxidize when suddenly exposed to air.
A well-integrated system can also utilize the combustible gas generated during pyrolysis as a process-energy source. This improves thermal integration and can reduce dependence on external fuel.
Matching Biochar Properties with Metallurgical Requirements
The appropriate biochar specification depends on the metallurgical process. Important parameters may include:
Fixed carbon: Determines the available carbon fraction.
Volatile matter: Influences reactivity and gas evolution.
Ash content: Affects slag chemistry and furnace balance.
Particle size: Determines feeding behavior and reaction kinetics.
Bulk density: Influences storage, transportation, and furnace charging.
Mechanical strength: Particularly important for applications involving material handling or packed beds.
Chemical composition: Helps identify potentially undesirable mineral constituents.
Laboratory testing and pilot-scale trials are therefore useful before large-scale substitution.
From Biomass Resource to Industrial Carbon Material
Biochar production can create a pathway for converting renewable biomass residues into engineered carbonaceous materials for industrial use. The opportunity is not simply to replace one carbon material with another, but to develop a feedstock-specific product with controlled chemical and physical properties.
For metallurgical applications, a biochar pyrolysis reactor provides the core conversion stage, while feedstock preparation, thermal control, gas utilization, cooling, sizing, and quality verification determine the consistency of the final material. When these parameters are aligned with furnace requirements, biomass-derived carbon can become a technically relevant reducing agent or carbon additive for selected metallurgical processes.

That part I'm not sure about. I'd expect it to be a bit more demanding
I understand you'll be running those on another computer and only streaming via OwnCast, so that goes back to earlier point

in reply to goofsqueak • • •You’ll want a GPU with hardware encoding and decoding for popular codecs. Most GPUs these days do that, even the budget ones, but you do need one.
Minecraft servers want fast single core CPU performance and a decent amount of RAM.
The rest of it could be RAM hungry too.

in reply to goofsqueak • • •You are making a mistake.
Do not build one big computer to do everything.
The system requirements are wildly different for the different things you’re asking. That means your computer can’t make compromises to be cheap.
Jellyfin and the piracy stack will want a potato with middling amounts of ram and a cheap discrete gpu from six years ago. And whatever storage you plan on using.
Minecraft will want ram and fast cpu.
Streaming will want a recent cpu with all the bells and whistles and a remote.
Playing games needs a okay gpu.
When you combine all that you need an okay gpu, a recent fast processor, a good amount of ram and the rest of the stuff to make it a computer. Plus your time. That’s approaching $800 now.
If you split it up you can do jellyfin, the arrs and Minecraft server on a ten year old gaming pc of yore that someone thinks they screwed you on when you pay them $100 for at a yard sale and hook your tv to a dedicated streaming set top box that can talk to your jellyfin for $100.

in reply to TrollAccount69 • • •fair enough
i already have a jellyfin server on my familys old ass laptop, but its kinda meh so i thought hosting it on this streaming box would be a good idea AND im always connected to the server (in my room where the box is of course). The minecraft server thingo isn't really needed and the same applies to the steam games

best distro for a streaming box with plasma bigscreen?
okay just to start things of; I AM NOT AN ADVANCED USER, I WOULD SAY BOTTOM OF INTERMMEDIATE AT BEST!!!!
im planning on ditching my chromecast for a little mini pc with plasma bigscreen, so i'm just wondering what distro would be good for that. I'll also be hosting my jellyfin server, and maybe game too but idrk

Arcden
in reply to goofsqueak • • •It's not a bad set up at all. There are some additional codecs you will want to get if you have an Nvidia GPU, but there are plenty of guides on that.
Bazzite is an atomic distro with a focus on gaming and based on fedora silverblue. I'm currently running it on my main gaming rig and it's very nice. It is more complete out of the box than fedora but installing something like bigscreen will probably be more difficult. Although, I bet it's possible. I haven't tried to figure it out though.

If you have not spent money yet there is still time to avoid this mistake.

in reply to goofsqueak • • •There's a list right on the website: plasma-bigscreen.org/get/
Since Plasma bigscreen is part of KDE, you probably want to start with a KDE desktop environment. So just get Fedora Kinoite (performs "atomic updates" which are a little faster and more reliable) or Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop (traditional packages which maybe have a higher chance to break, a little more annoying to update I think).
To install plasma-bigscreen on Kinoite, you run
rpm-ostree install plasma-bigscreenand then reboot the computer.Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop

You can go much more general purpose, but if you don't need general purpose then all that general purpose capability amounts to (intentional or accidental) attack surface you don't need.

Just a little update: effed by the archaic Geforce GT 220 somehow 😅
Update: thank you ALL for all your input! 💐 After some back and forth with @thorry@feddit.org , I decided to simply swap between the two capture cards whenever I need to, in order to make room for my old 3080 and call it a day. This way, I won’t have to spend any more money on this project and I retain the processing power of the 3080 when I start encoding my raw captures.
Here I thought I had been insanely smart to buy a GPU from 2010 for $10 since the CPU is going to do all the encoding anyway. And because my previous card, a honking 3080, wouldn't have allowed for the other two capture cards to be installed, taking up all the real estate.
I have been trying to setup an Artix system on my own for two hours now, but GRUB won't install in CSM mode... I've tried UEFI on GPT, BIOS on MBR, BIOS on GPT... 😅 Boot partition with and without file system... 💀
I'll just buy a more modern yet slim card, I guess? Unless I wake up tomorrow and give researching the issue a chance.

in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •The A series is pretty limited, I would go for a B series if you can find it. But keep in mind drivers for Intel on Windows are terrible and on Linux even worse. So that would not be a good time.
There's plenty of cards that would fit in 40mm, but your airflow would be pretty bad. Do you have a pic of the inside of your system? There has to be a way to make something more fit.
But most 6600, 7600 and 9060 cards should be able to fit in 40mm. And with AMD the drivers on Linux are very good.
printf("%s", name);
in reply to Thorry • • •Thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it!
I just removed the GPU, which sat in the PCIe 4.0 slot - which I guess really doesn't matter, since capturing shouldn't rely on the GPU, right? (Perhaps when I encode with
ffmpegthough... Even then, I don't mind letting it encode through the night.) The top and bottom cards are the capture cards.Thorry
in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •That's tight fit. If you really need the two capture cards then that's the room you've got to work with. If you can bring it down to just one card at the top that would be a lot better. I personally use a capture card that's connected using USB3, which works very well and doesn't require room inside the computer (even though I would have room).
Most videocards have two or three fans on the bottom these days, with such a tight fit one of the fans can easily collide with the capture card. And even when it doesn't it will have a hard time sucking in air from there. You can try and find a blower type card, but that would be a bit harder to find.
And you wouldn't happen to have a GPU inside the CPU? Because the iGPUs from AMD are very solid if you don't need much in terms of performance (easily faster than the 1030 you mentioned). Otherwise two capture cards and a GPU is a big ask in such a small case.
printf("%s", name);
in reply to Thorry • • •Thanks! You just gave me two ideas:
1. I already have all the hardware I need: if I do as you say, and only work with one capture card at a time - namely, FireWire or VGA - I can simply swap them whenever I need to. Cards as small as these won't be to much of a hassle to swap, especially since the side of the case/chassi simply pops off/comes off with a click. I would then be able to use my 3080 and call it a day. And have huge processing power.
2. I could just buy an ATX chassi and put the 3080 at the bottom, thus fitting all the cards.
3. Bonus: I too have an HDMI to USB capture card, but that's for digital only. The whole reason that I bought the card at the top is because it takes digital and analog. Which sounded cool.
I think I'll try #1 before investing any more money at the moment. Again, thank you so much for taking your time! 🥰

in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •Ignore the other guy on this, I have an A770 in my gaming ring and a B60 in my server. The drivers are amazing on Linux, and much better than NVIDIA.
If all you need is encoding, then VAAPI just works. There are some other caveats with the Alchemist series, which is mostly it was made during the transition to
xe, which means you either pick better encoding withi915(default) or better gaming performance withxe. For your use case I'd leave it with the defaulti915, though there are encoding patches forxeif you must use the newer driver. Both drivers are mainlined and officially supported by Intel.CorrectAlias

Run Linux from USB and use storage only for... storage: yay or nay (and why)?
I am just about to set up my new Linux machine, which will be used to convert analog video and audio to digital video and audio. Is there any reason why I shouldn't run the system off of a live USB stick (say, a good quality one from Sandisk), that is, without installing Linux on the hard drive and not setting up a boot partition, a system partition, and all that?

The person who said it’ll be too slow and you’ll ruin your usb is right but also:
Your system supports a nvme and sata. Dumping raw to nvme then working with it there so it doesn’t take so long to page into ram will be significantly faster.
Use spinning drives for storage though.

in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •Yeah!
So work on dumping and encoding your raws on the internal nvme SSD and then save the finished stuff and project folders you’re not using on the magnetic drives.
That’ll give you the fastest paging. That’s a ddr4 board right? The old wisdom used to be that you’d get faster performance with only two sticks of ram but that’s from back when two 32gb sticks was the same price as four 16gb sticks. Don’t shy away from using all four slots.

This causes disk access to be a bit slow, but is useful for a Pi when you're tried of the SD card dying and don't have a M2 hat.

And also mount options to cache for a minute or so, for the smaller writes. But you better have some RAM then, for Firefox in memory/tmpfs. And compiling larger software will destroy your stick.
Also keep in mind, that thumbdrives are relatively cheap is, because it's flash memory is one step in quality before defetctive. Also no wear leveling.
LogicOverFeelings
in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •That's a totally valid use case, I have done it in the past and there are Linux distributions that are made to be used this way. Those distributions usually work by loading the whole system into ram which avoid multiples writes to the USB stick. They also usually offer some persistence mechanism so that data can be added on the USB stick.
Examples of distribution meant to be used this way: MX Linux, Puppy Linux

Saves your hard drives from all the bootloader stuff, and should be faster than a spinning disk if the drive is 3.0.
Id even mount the USB as read only to ensure it isnt damaged, and use any ISO generator to manage updates from another device (Like create a new flash, shutdown this PC, plug in the new flash - bam update complete)

in reply to Echedelle (she/her) • • •No, proof about the maintainers intentions. Because you make a statement about them.
(And besides, making statements about other people's intentions is already stirring conflict, because normally only a person theirself knows what is happening in their mind and their heart, so stating what is happening inside somebody else is already a kind of transgression, a violation of boundaries. Which stirs empty conflict, whether you want that or not.)
I totally agree that there are very strong reasons to avoid LLM use ("AI"). Also fed up with the ham-fisted manners it is shoved in every place by companies, like github copilot. Also, all the BS in advertising it, with dishonest arguments. Also, its glaring links to authoritarianism. And I am extremely worried about the implications of "AI" as well.
And: Some people which take over this corporate ham-fistedness into personal behaviour might need to be informed about boundaries. This is good. We need to define and keep boundaries on that (such as the above policy of the Void Linux project).
But: you do not win this discussion by name-calling. Are you aware that the Linux community is also a target of trolling? Have you perhaps heard that polarizing topics (for example right now, gas prices, or migration) are absolutely used in a kind of information warfare to break communities and civil society? This topic is one of them.

Hardest part?
Unlocking the bootloader. Because it's Xiaomi. I have screenshots from the whole process, but that's more of a thing for "mildly infuriating" community.
Fun fact: Xiaomi doesn't even allow installing APKs via ADB without Mi account...
Why is it running plasma-desktop?
It's the first UI I tried. I've used it with a touchscreen before, and it worked well.
I've also tried installing both plasma-mobile and plasma-desktop, but the configurations seem to clash.
Also, when I use Android I always increase DP in developer settings to >600 which switches some UI elements to tablet mode. I prefer more things on the screen.

But I found it might indeed be a good idea to just keep a full image backup. After a bunch of NULLs, there's more data.
filedoesn't recognize it, but runningstringson it reveals readable text:<> California1 San Narciso1 Yoyodyne, Inc.1 Yoyodyne Mobility1 Yoyodyne1#0! yoyodyne@example.com0Indeed, it seems this is a certificate: source.android.com/docs/core/o…
Anyway, I am once again getting reminded it might be good to learn assembly (ARM in this case). The content of sbl1 and aboot seems to be an ELF, so I might be able to pop it into Ghdira, and try to figure out what it's doing.
Maybe. I don't know, I have the most stupid of ideas usually.

The only fix is to SSH into the phone and restart plasmashell using
systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.Web browsing mostly works, though in this case, the phone only handles YouTube playback up to 480p.
Oh, one more interesting observation: Cloudflare CAPTCHA causes Firefox to freeze with 100% CPU usage (single-core). So entering websites like lemmy.world is not possible.

Jason Perlow’s New NCZ-OS Scratches Several Itches in One Distro - FOSS Force
What would you do if you bought some capable hardware that you really like, but there’s no Linux distribution that runs well on it?
When Jason Perlow found himself in that predicament, he broke out some tools and built his own Linux distribution to fully support it. He’s calling the distro NCZ-OS, and it currently supports arm64 machines, with a specific focus on the CIX Sky1 platform, targeting Radxa Orion O6/O6N and Minisforum MS-R1 devices. Support for OrangePi systems is currently under validation.
He’s not stopping there. He’s now working on getting it to work on some older hardware that’s been stranded by Microsoft and Apple.
If Perlow’s name seems familiar, there’s a reason for that. For years his byline graced articles on sites such as CNN, Linux Magazine, ZDNet, and others. He’s also spent stints as an employee at the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, and IBM. Some of you might also know him for his foodie videos.
“I think the story here is interesting because I have heavily used AI pair-programming tools (Codex, Claude, OpenCode/Goose/Pi) to put this distro together, along with Yocto as the build system,” he told me in a conversation that took place via email. “This would have been basically impossible for a single person to do five years ago.”
Making Linux Safe for Arm CIX Sky1
In some ways the project harkens back to the 1990s, when coders were working to build GNU/Linux distributions that would work on whatever hardware they had laying around and needed to get it to work on.
“I bought a Sky1-based system,” Perlow said. “It was an attractive piece of hardware for $600 — 64GB RAM, 12 cores, GPU, and NPU. When it arrived, a lot of stuff wasn’t working out of the box. I decided to keep it and not return it, and see if I could get it to do as advertised. I now own two (Minisforum, Radxa) with a third on the way (OrangePi).”
NCZ-OS originally used an Ubuntu base, but now starts with the arm64 port of Debian testing (forky). It uses a customized Debian installer with a bit of built-in failsafe: the base system is installed directly from the image, doing away with issues, like maybe an iffy network connection or unreachable mirror.
“The goal is specific: make the SoC’s accelerators work under a current kernel and a fully Wayland desktop,” he said. “On new Arm silicon the accelerators are usually the last thing to work and often the thing that never does, with the GPU falling back to software and the NPU and video engine present only as device nodes nothing can drive. Closing that gap is the point of the project.”
There have been numerous workarounds necessary to get the OS working to his liking. That’s not surprising. According to Perlow, the CIX Sky1 is not only new technology, it was apparently initially designed for China’s domestic smartphone market, so architecturally it has more in common with a phone-class system-on-chip than a conventional PC. Although it’s supported by some other distros, the support is incomplete.
“NCZ-OS is not the only option and I would not want to suggest otherwise,” he said. “Armbian maintains a CIX board family, Radxa publish Debian and Fedora images for the Orion O6, Ubuntu has a concept image, and CIX publishes an SDK and is upstreaming core SoC support, which matters more in the long run than any downstream image. A community project, Sky1-Linux, assembled kernel and GPU packaging and drew genuine interest, though its repositories have had no activity since March 2026.
“What differs here is the scope of what is made to work on one image, and the practice of measuring each claim on hardware before making it,” he added.
Perlow isn’t stopping with NCZ-OS as a specialized Arm distro. He’s working on a specialized x86 version too.
“The x86 target is deliberate rather than opportunistic, and it is the one I care most about,” he said.
He’s attacking x86 on two fronts, starting with enabling full desktop support for older Macs that were built before Apple said goodbye to Intel and x86 in 2020.
“I have been a committed Mac user since leaving Microsoft in 2017, and none of the Linux desktops I’ve used since then has given me a compelling reason to switch,” he said. “I own an Intel Mac from 2020 which is largely abandonware, with the exception of the T2 kernel being developed [a Linux kernel with patches or drivers for T2-equipped Macs], but there is no distribution that really is tuned for it. They all kind of stop at the kernel and are the same Ubuntu or Arch or whatever distro experience everyone else gets.”
“That’s not a bad thing necessarily,” he added, “but I think you need a compelling reason for end users with older systems to switch to Linux more than ‘my abandoned hardware now works.’ That doesn’t pull millions of systems necessarily out of the e-waste pile.”
Mac branded x86 machines that were manufactured in the years leading up to Apple’s change to its own chip design are still capable today, Perlow pointed out, but they need a specific kernel patch series to make the keyboard, trackpad, audio, and networking work.
“That series exists and is maintained by the t2linux community,” Perlow said. “Carrying such a series on a current base is the same task this project already performs for Sky1, which is why it is a realistic target rather than a wish.”
A Wintel 10 Lifejacket Too…
There’s more in Perlow’s sights than specialized Arm and old Apples.
“I also have several Windows 10 laptops that are perfectly good but also abandonware — right now they are servers, I don’t like the Linux desktops that exist today. I want to develop a fully modernized distribution that is open source but also delivers an end user experience that doesn’t compromise and ‘just works.'”
“The Steve Jobs approach,” he added. “That’s a very lofty thing for one person to try to do. I’m no Google — but I’m arrogant and motivated…”
He’s talking, of course, about Windows 10 machines with modern specs that couldn’t make Microsoft’s cut for the upgrade path to Windows 11. Official support for Windows 10 from Redmond ended last October, although in some cases extended support remains available through October 2027.
NCZ-OS’s desktop environment is Singularity, which is not a Windows clone by any stretch, but offers a conventional layout that won’t confuse Windows (or Mac) users. It’s from Italy-based Mirko Brombin, whose tech resume checks multiple boxes, including UI/UX designer, open-source developer, and Linux project founder. He’s probably best known as the creator of the popular Wine front end, Bottles, and the Debian-based Linux distribution Vanilla OS.
For the x86 version, Perlow said he intends to use the same Debian Forky base, installer, and Singularity Wayland desktop, paired with a Yocto-built Linux 7.2 kernel.
“The initial targets include T2-equipped Intel Macs from 2017-2023 and capable Windows 10 systems that cannot officially move to Windows 11,” he said. “The goal is the same on both Arm and x86: support as much hardware acceleration as possible and deliver a modern, cohesive experience rather than merely making abandoned hardware boot Linux. I expect the x86 work to be easier, although hardware has a habit of punishing statements like that.”

in reply to OccasionallyFeralya • • •It was removed about version 44 or 45 or somewhere about then. Maybe a couple of years ago.
Unless they've fixed it in a very recent version, it now has a "next five weeks" view instead - starting from the middle of one month and ending part way through another, and showing you a mixed up "Aug/Sep/Nov" sort of thing - which might be sort of useful for knowing what you're doing socially next week, but if you're trying to do accounts, timesheets, budgeting and other admin stuff it's a massive pain in the arse.
[Edit]I had a look to see when it was done - there's a blog post talking about removing month view here:
feaneron.com - 2023, extending the month to infinity
though I think that version didn't appear in Linux Mint for another few years though.

The compatibility issues aren't the alternative's faults. Rather, the cause is Microsoft playing dirty.
Microsoft Office silently breaks compatibility with its own self-made document format (the so-called "Open Office XML"). They made the public standard and switched to it around 2010, and yet they still sometimes just... stray from the standard.
Since most everyone uses MS Office, people's first instinct is to doubt the small player for being bad, underfunded, low quality or whatever else instead of doubting MS for playing dirty. The entire tactic reads like a slightly modified Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •Usually it's not "their preferred office suite" but "office suite they are forces to use at work". MS Office usage is high because of network effect, not because any other office suite is worse.
I use LO Writer for any document I write (or work with) myself and it's perfectly fine. The only reason I keep MS Office is that I need to work on documents other people write (or need to work with).
Of course there are people who actually prefer MS Office, but it's similar to Windows itself: most people did not choose it, they either don't know there is an alternative or are forced to use it for compatibility reasons (at work). It's rare that anyone actually "prefers" MS software.

in reply to SocialistVibes01 • • •This might be useful for some Linux users who want (but don't need) to run Microsoft 365 occasionally, but actually relying on this kind of hack is a terrible idea.
I certainly hope this doesn't "help draw in people into Linux". It's sad to think about people and organizations switching to Linux on the basis of someone misleading them into thinking that relying on this kind of thing is a good idea because when it breaks it will give them a bad impression and they'll blame "Linux" instead of Microsoft (or Bottles or whoever told them it was a good idea).
When the lack of a Linux version of a specific proprietary program is the blocker preventing someone from switching to Linux, relying on a workaround which remains unsupported by the proprietary/adversarial software vendor is... a recipe for a bad time.
Even if this mostly works today, it is extremely likely that (either intentionally or inadvertently) Microsoft will break it in the future.
So, although I do see how this can be useful for some people when/while it works, in my opinion Linux and the world at large would be better off if this software didn't exist. I hope Microsoft breaks it sooner than later!

Plus, there's probably cases where the web versions aren't going to be viable. Kind of ironic that so many linux people simultaneously make fun of the ChromeOS workflow where everything depends on browser-based services while dismissing people who can't switch fully because needing the MS suite with "just use the browser version".
