What Linux Journal's Resurrection Taught Me about the FOSS Community
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 7y agoI'll miss Linux Journal's resurrection.
- IceWreck 7y agoIs it too much to hope that someone else reaches out this time and saves them again?
- velcrovan 7y agoI'm so confused.
- wyxuan 7y agoLinux journal died, they found some more operating funds, and then died again.
- dman 7y agoGetting a sustainable OSS based third option for mobile devices where we can run OSS code without restrictions is the pressing problem of the day. I applaud Purism for taking this on, hope it catches on enough that it manages to become a self sustaining project.
- isostatic 7y agoMy desktop looks very similar to that screenshot Two screens, not 1 -- right hand screen has two rxvts (green on black), with vim on the left and a shell on the right Left screen has fullscreen firefox. I dropped out of slashdot around the time of beta, I believe it's got better since, but the ratio of good:bad commenters is still low. I never got into transparent terminals, but I did have some silly effects when I dabbled with E17 for a few weeks. That didn't last, and I went back to my WM around that era was blackbox (and fluxbox later), and indeed I only change to xfce around 5 years ago -- very similar screen estate. Just as I had 20 years ago, I have focus on mouseover, raise on click. I no longer monitor cpu/memory usage using the program that's on the right side of the screen (I used to use it, but I can't for the life of me remember it's name). I'm using mplayer to listen to an internet radio station rather than x11amp to listen to local mp3s, if anything I think the main change in the last 20 years for me is less window dressing (which was already pretty minimal)
