Is keypassXC problematic?
-
@jackeric @aaron @da_667 @cR0w ohhh its not hard and thats part of the curse. Installation is trivial, basic setup is like the angels singing from the heavens. You weep because this is how it should be... then you bump into your first problem that isn't in the plentiful docs and have to find the community...

NetBSD is small and pretty quick to install so I think its worth trying
I honestly found the installer pretty much fine¹. You're somewhat likely to have problems with wifi (you *can* use a usb wifi card) and suspend-resume (not much you can do in that case); but they're both working on my laptop, with a little bit of jank
¹: I've heard the partitioning part is rough but I just wiped the whole disk and selected "recommended partition sizes"
@river I mean with debian I need a script I named `fixmouse.sh` to do something-or-other to the trackpad after resume to get more advanced features like click, scroll etc to work again

@jackeric ha well if you're putting up with that then netbsd should be fiiiine

Is keypassXC problematic? sort of. Heard they started accepting AI commits. Is it "We tacitly support a dude who thinks europe needs an ethnic cleansing" levels of bad? Well AI sucks ass, but its not quite as bad as supporting DHH.
@da_667 There's an AI-free fork at https://codeberg.org/ChiPass/ChiPass

Use linux. Accept the curse of the automatroid: most major distros are accepting AI commits. Accept that systemd has been a cancer for a very long time.
Use macOS. Accept the curse of the Walled garden: You may run only what we tell you to run, when we tell you to run it. The rules change with every major OS update. You will accept them or you will go elsewhere.
Use Windows. Accept the curse of the hunted: You are being watched. You cannot slip your pursuer, you cannot obfuscate yourself. Even if you think you've hidden yourself, because of how convoluted Windows is, you can't really be 100% sure that you are not being watched. And even if you aren't you won't know whether or not a critical update re-enables the watcher in the walls.
@da_667 Could you tell me more about your problems with systemd? The only criticisms I've seen is that it's "bloated" and "monolithic". Are there moral issues with it too?

@nthelt no, I won't.

@nthelt no, I won't.
@da_667 I should accept that it's a cancer without evidence?
You're definitely not obligated to do free labor to educate me, but advocating for a position and not backing it up is odd.

@nthelt dude, I'm not having this conversation at 9 in the morning. I don't owe you anything.

fellas, I'm gonna level with you. I'm starting to feel like computing in general is a series of trade-offs on how far you're willing to compromise on your morals.
@da_667 this is life in general. I've found that part of maturing is realising all the ways in which you're evil. Even vegans have to draw a line somewhere, deciding just how much human exploitation or risk of animal exploitation they can accept in a product they buy.

@nthelt It's pretty easy to look up the history there since it's fairly recent, but the *biggest* thing is the software and the developer don't play well with others.

@da_667 expand "computing" to "life" and I'm with you.

@da_667 @cR0w yes, really, fresh leaves of hemlock makes a great tea if you are a tech billionaire, member of Herrenrasse or both! It was a favourite of the Spartans, gives strength and power and superiority, so it could only support yours, right? Ignore the tingly feeling in your mouth, that ceases after a few minutes. Adding a teaspoon of lead sugar improves its taste.

@da_667 Sadly, since the move back to RISC and given Apple's reluctance to publish documentation, we don't even have the option of wiping MacOS to install something else.

@da_667 I agree that you don't owe me anything. I said so in my last post.
You asserted that I should "Accept ...". If your goal is to get your audience to accept your claim, it's in your interest to say what you mean.
Maybe I'm not in your target audience. And that's okay. I don't follow you. I found your post from Drew DeVault's boost.

@da_667 this pretty much has summed it up for decades now. It consumes more of my time than actual doing the computing and really takes the fun out of technology anymore.
Just the fact that I have to spend so much time now to see if what I want to use is backed by a piece of shit is so tiring and mentally draining.

@da_667 That and capitalism.

@da_667 Huh. I don't remember this particular feat in Esoteric Ebb.

"I want to use a web browser that isn't deep-throating AI"
Well, your choices are lynx and that's basically it.
@da_667 i’m holding out hope for servo. they have a no-llm policy

@da_667 It's not really computing though. It's the IT industry and the usual Capitalist greed for ever-increasing profits from a shrinking work force.
