Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by business models.

Hi! I'm Andrey.
I'm a software engineer. My topics are privacy, self-hosting and FOSS.
Also love boardgames, Lego and old video games :)
I was here already for some time, but finally decided to make some activity. I enjoy the community a lot and hope to find new friends!

I almost wish I had an LG "smart" TV!

@rugk @sheogorath Yep, I did. I shared the *localhost* URL on my development machine publicly on Mastodon.

And if you can reach that, I have far greater problems ;)

I've just released libadwaita 1.0! https://blogs.gnome.org/alexm/2021/12/31/libadwaita-1-0/

I have successfully upraded an §elementaryOS laptop from 5 -> 6 by replacing 'bionic' with 'focal' in apt/sources.list and the .d/* occurances.

A little dance with apt update && apt dist-upgrade && apt auto-remove did the rest.

At one point I needed to do a apt --fix-installed update again to break a dependency cycle.

May this be useful for you.

GPL is basically the software equivalent of Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike.

Those who have a problem with it do so because they don’t want to share alike.

They want to take but not give.

So you decide how you feel about that.

Trickle-down economics is the theory that if I eat both my lunch and your lunch, this will somehow eventually prove nutritious for you too.

(It’s the lie we tell starving people to keep them from slitting our throats.)
