Life hack
Whenever a bureaucrat tells you that something cannot be done, leave, and come tomorow to a different bureaucrat.
Half of them don't know what they can do, and half of the rest don't care to help you.
I have been meeting with bureaucrats only a few times in my life, but this was the solution 80 fucking percent of the time.
random FOSS drama that popped in my feed
Yeah... trying to look into this rabbit hole a bit. Can't say I found what this is actually about, but I learned enough to know:
1) it has something to do with Asahi Linux
2) don't use Asahi Linux.
Pretty clear the core devs are pure code-of-conduct cancer, that get their fee-fees hurt.

"hostile fork"
What are these people even on about? Have people gone legitimately insane? How the hell is software "hostile"?
And I love the messaging of "don't use the hardware that you bought, because I feel offended by a hostile developer that made a driver for that hardware". Yeah, fuck off.
Also, forking is now "ban evasion" apparently.
Oh, and you shouldn't merge patches that solve actual issues, because it "would legitimize the abusive behaviour".
Lol... "let's cripple our software to own the bigots"....
Pathetic. Give me a good god damn reason why I should jump ship from the infected FOSS hellhole.
Linux can still be frustratingly stupid sometimes
*groan*
The whole Mesa proprietary codecs hardware acceleration debacle is such a mess, and it seems Manjaro literally took the most illogical, inconsistent approach out of all distros currently dealing with this.
From my understanding Fedora basically yeeted everything with a patent from a default install, and they decided Mesa hardware video acceleration for h264/h265 should be a part of that. Fair enough, and consistent with yeeting non-free codecs.
Manjaro also decided to disable hardware video acceleration for patented codecs, but it makes no sense, seeing how non-free codecs ARE included in a default install.
I've read through their forums (which honestly I've rarely had to ever do), and it doesn't seem like anyone understands what the Manjaro team is trying to accomplish. You can't exactly claim you're avoiding a lawsuit as long as you're still including software based decoders for the same non-free video formats.
I've seen people ask numerous times, why disable Mesa h264/h265 capabilities, but include other software that accomplish the same thing, i.e. encoding and decoding those patented formats. But no one gave a clear answer.
GG Linux for shooting yourself in the foot again. Please stop acting surprised as to why people prefer Windows.
Just another random person passing by.
