  • With the release of Ubutnu 26.04, a reminder of what they used to stand for.

    Jump

  • Have told this story many times but it's due to the nostalgia of an era that seems long gone.

    One day after a lectureship at unit there was some hackathon with people demoing computers with Linux. I got to see the compiz cube thing and my jaw dropped. They gave my friends and me one of these pictured, an Ubuntu 5.10 CD (I still have it somewhere in pristine state) so thanks to Ubuntu is how I got into Linux.

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything that OP has said. You could feel the ubuntu everywhere, from the logo, the color scheme, visual theme, wallpaper and icons (and the 'simplicity' and cleverness of Gnome 2) all the way up to how the help pages were phrased and of course their motto, "Linux for human beings".

    It felt cozy. It make me feel like my computer was indeed mine. At that point I didn't even knew using a computer could be felt like that. It's been 20 years, some 4 years after that I moved on to use Gentoo, but I still remember and miss that old Ubuntu feeling.

    So that's why I have bittersweet thoughts about Ubuntu: on one hand, as with many people, it was my gateway into Linux and thus it changed the way I use and interact with computers forever; on other hand, it was really sad to see what it has become.

  • A PHP Dev Just Solved a 20+ Year-Old KDE Plasma Problem No One Else Would

    Jump

  • It's great those long time issues are solved, but after reading the article I can't help but wonder if the person vibe-coded it or something. I am a bit experienced on PHP too and know a tiny bit of C but still find C++ so incredibly daunting and complex I can't even imagine tackling such a serious bug on it all by myself

  • Maybe the fr*nch aren't so bad after all

  • Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word?

    On a serious note, though, on my first semester at graphic design a teacher once told us that some day (here in Bogotá, Colombia) a punk wearing a jacket or something with a struck though swastica waiting for the bus near the uni. Some old lady saw him and the swastica and passed out on the spot. Apparently she was a jewish migrant or something. I never even imagined such things could happen here but the point was to be aware of the things you use in your communications

  • Motorola suddenly raises budget phone prices up to 50%—you can probably thank AI

    Jump

  • I don't know how good Motorola phones came to be with the years, but my first "smart" phone was a Motorola Atrix 4G. You know, the one with a fingerprint sensor in the back, at the top edge. One year exactly after I bought it its wifi/bt card died all of a sudden. Never have looked into their phones ever since.

  • Gentoo Releases Experimental Images Using GNU/Hurd

    Jump

  • I can't speak for the Debian case since I didn't knew about it much but afaik on the Gentoo side it was because its hard dependency on Bashisms (and Bash as a whole) so it needed many hacks and stuff to get around of those and make it work on the BSDs.

    That it didn't work because "it is just too alien to Linux" isn't quite true because it did work, it's just that it needed too much work to keep it going with Portage as it was (and is).

    At that time systemd didn't even exist so no, it wasn't because of systemd.

    Jump

  • I switched to 2.6 Specialized butchers in my 2021 Trek Xcaliber 8 and, while I can keep up with people with road tires the first few kilometers, after that they will tax you. Don't know how big the thead size of the tires of that other person's tires can be, though, but with this tires I feel like I'm driving a tractor.

    Sorry I can't give any advice for your bike, though. I'm just a colombian dude. With what you are saying in this post I can only think about a gravel or an hybrid bike but I don't know about most of the brands you mentioned nor if you are cyclyng to your gf's place that distance as in start-finish-start or start-finish

  • What would you change?

    Jump

  • I'd put Haiku on the extreme top left corner (or in one of the two rows below that first column) since it's based on BeOS - it's a corporate OS wether it exits or not and it intends to replicate said corporate OS. In its place I'd put either TempleOS or Plan9.
