Well… fuck.

Eh, youre not missing Much aside from setting flags and watching it compile. I don’t think the performance improvements are significant enough at the point to bother. Though it was fun on some older systems.

Its an interesting life I suppose.

I don’t like it.

Client systems outside of my control.

It is not usually a thing to be concerned about. It is something I end up having to be concerned about though.

I didnt realize it could go to different bash versions.

That could actually be really handy for me, write once and out for the versions I need…

Just to mention, workbench worked beautifully with wine last I tried it.

That said, I have a VM at the ready with win10 for anything that could annoy me in that moment. I recommend a USB Ethernet dongle dedicated to the VM and passed through at the ready for anything random (like needing DVS or something).

Media player, I’d say MPV especially if you learn the fun options you can leverage. Its more media player engine than a media player like vlc, but you can load an m3u playlist or use autoload.lua, change playback speed, grab a camera feed and play it out, switch profiles, create loops and clips, even listen to a playlist (on YouTube) with no video playback - all from the command line.

And for stupid reasons needs to run a connectivity check to google, amazon, and microsoft or it throws an error.

Apparently I’m missing something that has netted them an absolute fortune. Or they are (cough morals cough).

Oh if its a bundled “service” application almost definitely.

It will also have a UI reminiscent of win2k, cost a minimum of $20k to engage them for any “project” effort, and the first 3 meetings will be a waste of time over miscommunication on expected status.

And yet, not what MS shops use in the overwhelming majority of cases.

I’m talking about mid to large enterprise, from finance to legal. Changes are so slow in orgs like those that it often isnt worth it to bring up. So they dont, they just spin up another server VM on HyperV to run another instance of IIS.

Other shops are windows shops

This is the biggest chunk from my experience. They have it for AD, on prem exchange, then they do another for storage so why make it different. Then they need a database, so why not keep it the same? Whoopsie, need to support some locally hosted web. Another server? Let’s not rock the boat, IIS works well enough…

And it just continues from there, all MS all the way down for them.

Take out the F and you have a Lying Pig.

I have ended up with a bag of food and no milk and had to go back.

I have to list, even for one item.

Yes, though really its a lot of servers.

I wouldn’t worry about tools yet, I’d recommend getting a book/wiki on networking if you’d like to learn, its knowledge that builds.

curl stands for client URL, and you use it to talk to a server (URL) in whatever protocol you specify. Its used for development as a way to test client & server communication, built into applications to perform communication between a client & a server, and its used often because its extremely portable, has great error logging, can be rate limited, and can provide a substantial amount of detail about the communication.

Is the logo ai generated? I’ve had coworkers who could rip out a logo like this in no time from scratch. I’m on my phone (without my readers) so maybe I’m missing something. As far as style goes, I’d just note that every time a new style is “the thing”, everyone did things in that style - long before AI.

That said, that looks pretty cool and I’m going to check it out. I don’t really give a crap about branding unless its something problematic (like the person mentioning the qanon distro - I won’t touch framework anymore, won’t touch ruby on rails, Omarchy, etc, but thats less branding and more leadership). Ive seen terrible branding for amazing tools, and amazing branding for terrible tools. As long as they aren’t parroting the proud boys or something, its fair game to me.

I’m thinking of it as an alternative to a software emulated RISC-V more than anything else

I think the rk3588 based boards are a better bang for the buck than pi (aside from my continual disappointment from how the managed things during the pandemic, but thats a whole other thing), and some esp32 boards fill the other gaps, but thats how I think about things, obviously not an answer for everyone.

But even with the really comparatively bad performance of this little guy, its still going to be way better than emulated I think. Of course, I’ll have to buy one to confirm that. A perfect excuse! 😄

Performance seems pretty terrible, but as a cheap RISC-V dev board thats a pretty great price…

I’m a bit surprised they didnt know what that USB port was for, its pretty standard. Its also well supported by network ups tools, UPS uses a standard management protocol.

Using is promoting IMO, but to each their own.

• Both Hyprland (which we’ll just say has an unpleasant history of allowed comments) and Omarchy (DHH… Mostly self explanatory, but go ahead and read his blog and you’ll see exactly the person DHH is. Dogwhistles and all.) were brought up as benefitting from Framework.
• Nirav Patel (nrp) (Founder, CEO) replied by saying “its a big tent and everyone is welcome”, which pissed off a lot of people.
• Rather than respond in the community forums, nrp went to twitter to say he isn’t bigoted.
• Clarification of support was given, that no money went to DHH (kind of a lie here, I’ll get to that), and only a bit to Hyprland. Avoided all discussion of the outsized amount of posts by framework about Omarchy.
• Blog post was made by framework/nrp detailing how money was spent. Left out any mention of hardware being sent out, later edited.
• blog post shows that Railsworld (DHH was the keynote speaker) received massive amounts of money by comparison to every other event. That includes hardware, Linux firmware, the major DEs, etc - combined. A truly astounding amount compared to every other sponsorship. To date I do not believe this has been addressed.

I don’t know about further updates, at this point I’ve written off framework. If you want open, go MNTRe IMO.
