Winepak: to make it easier to install Winedows apps on Linux.

This is about packaging Wine applications as Flatpak bundles.

No need to dive through hoops and jump hurdles & whatnot, the plan is to reach a simple install solution. Pick the application of Winepak from the Winepak repo and go, dammit.

Taking its babysteps, already initial Winepaks for Fortnite... Overwatch... World of Warcraft...

A Wine-based distro incoming?

@chess7th They've released their Dos source for an older version. Give em time. A F*load of time ;)

Microsoft claims that their are supporters of Open-Source software, they should release their entire code base of their OS. Afterall... That would be a big thing

@linux Not only that, but it also is going to add support for federation (like Mastodon has), which means you can fork it if you don't like the direction it's heading, or want to host your own instance.

GitLab "Ultimate" and "Gold" for self hosting now free for education and open source.

This is GitLab taking this massive opportunity after Microshaft swallowed GitHub and making the best of it.

The more people are moving over now, the better their own future will be in the long run.

GitLab also make migration easier, starting the #movingtogitlab campaign with a straight-forward video etc.

GitLab is open source itself, too.

After trying Zsh for a couple of months, the only persuasive reason I’ve found to stick with it vs Bash is that the tab completion is genuinely faster in some situations (e.g., “systemctl restart n[tab]”).

OTOH, in other cases the tab completion is annoyingly deficient. Forget trying to complete a file path in your Git repo if the .git folder isn’t in the normal location (which I do with my dotfiles).

Getting ARM installed on my RPi 3 ended up being a very painless process. Opted for the vanilla kernel.

Mark finit par cliquer sur « Supprimer Facebook » ce qui, contrairement aux autres utilisateurs, ne supprime pas le compte mais le réseau.
Les services annexes comme Messenger, Whatsapp ou même Instagram arrêtèrent de fonctionner.
Les patrons de Google, Microsoft et même Amazon en firent de même, et Apple rendit son code libre et améliora le niveau de vie de ses travailleurs les moins aisés.
Twitter, lui, passa au protocole ActivityPub et devint une instance comme les autres.
