But selling other peoples’ labor would introduce it to the capitalist system. Not saying that makes you a capitalist. Just saying some people might want to keep their art out of that system.
I think that’s best left up to the author. Sometimes someone might prefer that their art stay independent of capitalism. I think that is a respectable position.
With a NC license, the author still can sell the work and make money. It’s just that other people can’t.
They changed the refund policy on the Linux phone that they sell.
At the time when the phone was under development they let people preorder in exchange for a small discount. Many people including myself wanted to support such a product and payed in. At the time the policy was you could get your money back any time before the phone shipped.
The phone was delayed for years and years and naturally people got impatient and demanded their money back.
Purism on the fly changed the policy and said you could only ask for your money back in a small window just before your phone shipped. Not before and if it shipped it was too late. They just refused to honor the original policy.
It was discovered that people could content the attorney General of California and the state would force them to honor the original policy. A lot of people, including myself did this.
The fact that it came to that makes them a shady company.
This all being said I am very happy they are profitable. While I would never preorder anything from them again, if they update the phone specs I would consider buying one.
More Linux first companies is a good thing.
Schwip Schwap is my favorite. Mountain Dew is also quite nice when I can find it.
Maybe licensing the art under some sort of Creative Commons Share alike license might serve your purpose? This being said I 100% get artists keeping full rights to their art. If you do that there is nothing wrong with that either.
You raise a valid point. Perhaps “art about open source subjects” might be more technically accurate.
In either case it’s welcome.
While I disagree with the basis of the comic, I love that you made it. Keep it up. Open source art is always super cool.
It’s ok. I would go with “user hostile” in this case.
Fair. But in that case best use a more appropriate word.
I get not being a fan but no toggle switch. But in this case it literally isn’t “enshittification”. Is it anti choice? Yes. Is it enshittification? No. Enshittification does not just mean “thing I don’t like”.
Here is a quote that describes what enshittification is:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

I know “Enshittification” is the Lemmy word of the year but you can’t just call everything you don’t like enshittification.
This clearly isn’t it.
I agree that’s why most of my systems run btrfs. (Maybe soon bcachefs).
But XFS is in the same tier of “datedness” as EXT4, just with more performance. Some apps like ScyllaDB actually require XFS performance crazily enough.
Btrfs or XFS.
No idea why people are into EXT4. XFS is more performant by far.
You have to set each entry under the same domain to to match against “host” and you’re set.
Hey. There is no reason to feel useless. Everyone has value. And the best part about Linux is that we all can make our own choices. If people hate systemd they don’t have to use it. That’s ok. Void linux I think is actually a pretty cool distro. It reminds me of the BSDs for some reason.
I use systemd because I like how it works and I think it’s well designed. As for desktops I am a huge fan of sway. Gnome isn’t bad on a laptop or tablet though. What do you use?
If the service is already running it has to be stopped as a system service and run as a user service. In order to ensure that the service inherits all the correct permissions / acls / se linux policies the service needs to be launched from the limited permissions context.
With the systemd approach you’re not just passing a control handle around. You’re ensuring the process is running under an appropriate security context.
If you want to let multiple users manage the user systems service, I would probably go with sudo and systemd user files. You could create a group which has sudo access etc. The important idea is that an unprivileged user controls an unprivileged service.
Ahh. Bone Apple Tea moment.
