R. because it’s really easy to work on spreadsheets. i know there’s pandas for python but at that time RStudio made it look really attractive. i will do anything not to work on excel.

yes, thank you

lemmy client? it would be amazing just to have a tui.

is this a blender reference, too?

i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.

for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.

it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.

the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.

i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.

zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).

i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.

i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.

if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.

the other day i asked my coworkers that “doesn’t that bother you that some of your apps are always listening to you?” they said “i’m not saying anything illegal and when i see a product that i was talking about, it’s almost like a reminder, otherwise i would forget all abou it”.

i gave up.

tldr it’s a clickbait title.

alpine and void linux are pretty lightweight.

i guess it’s from 2011.

he chatgpt, finish this construction robot.

i have a t420 and running up-to-date void linux perfectly fine.

sometimes that’s right, but other times it fires back. like in autodesk software, it turns into a money making machine. because they’re the industry standard for more than a decade now, they just pump out new version every year with barely any changes and deliberately not forward compatible. so you just pay more every month, because everything is subscription based now.

• this is 100% valid. even on wayland it’s working great.
• it took like 3 days to migrate my whole workflow to libreoffice. it’s definitely doable for 95% of ms office users but when you’re in a big company it gets tricky. formulas work a little bit different so you have to consider that. libreoffice is case sensitive, ms office is not.
• this is again mostly a compatibility with other parties issue. and from what i understand photoshop has a lot of third party addons that would definitely be cumbursome to migrate.
• i have to use windows at work and it drives me crazy. constant notifications for mundane stuff, no package manager, no sane way to keep apps up-to-date, commandline is shit.
• even freebsd was better at handling my thinkpad. i have a wifi dongle, on linux it just works, on windows i have to install an xp app to be able to use that.

the colonial occupation means a continuous state of war, so it makes it a war crime. maybe you should stop being a debatebro.

understantable have a great day :)

it is the equivelant of the dude’s rug, it ties the room together. the end user doesn’t even recognize that change. it brings all programs that work with different sound servers (alsa, pulseaudio, jack) under the same umbrella.
