  • I just wanted to add that you can run gui applications through ssh with x11 forwarding, options -X or -Y (untrusted/trusted but at least in Debian back in the day they behaved the same). So if you wanted a gui file manager you run it in the ssh session on the remote server, sudo if you need but NEVER logged as root, and the window will pop on your local DE instead of having to run an entire desktop on each server


  • For me the difference between a cli and a gui is like asking someone to do something speaking in a language they can understand and doing it just by pointing at things and doing gestures. It’s enough for ordering at a restaurant, but for more complex tasks it gets ridiculous, even at a restaurant you’ll get better results if you can ask for some information and understand what the server says




  • A CEO that brings lots of money and consistently gets to lower the share of your flagship browser seems like a good candidate to destroyed from within. How can Mozilla stay independent when most of their money comes from these ‘royalties’ and most of it is from Google? We’re talking hundreds of millions agains 7 mil in donations that barely pay for the CEO. How are they gonna push back against this webDRM shit google is trying to pull (or any other thing)?

    I feel the same as you, I’ve been using Mozilla/Firefox since forever, because I felt they were doing things I’m aligned with. But I don’t know anymore. I don’t know if they are doing it or they have started to become just muppet opposition.

    Enshittification spreads fast, once it takes roots its to late. But it sure seems like, lately, it’s an all out attack on any freedom left on the internet
