FreeBSD's KDE Desktop Install Option Ready For Testing

As part of enhancing the FreeBSD experience on laptops and desktops, FreeBSD developers have been working toward adding a convenient desktop install option to their text-based installer for easily deploying the KDE Plasma desktop along with the necessary GPU drivers. After it didn't get wrapped up in time for the FreeBSD 15.0 release, that desktop installer option is now ready for testing...

Ein knappes Jahr seit dem Wechsel ins Fediverse. Was mir fehlt: Austausch mit Künstlern und Kollegen aus Literatur und Show. Wo finde ich die? Gibt es Gruppen? Oder nur Listen? Wenn ich oder eingebe, finde ich nur eine Handvoll Einträge. Fühle mich ein bisschen verloren hier. Was ich nicht vermisse: Werbung, Filter und "Schaut-her-wie-geil-mein-Leben-ist"-Posts.

I am the daughter of Gaza. I bear the responsibility for my elderly parents, and securing food and medicine for them has become harder than ever before, after our educational center, our source of livelihood, was destroyed.
This is a plea for life, not a passing post.
Whoever can extend a helping hand, let them come forward now.
And whoever cannot, let them be our voice and share the plea.
Humanity is measured in these moments.
Do not leave Gaza alone 🤍

RE: vis.social/@infobeautiful/1160

Last time I posted this, I got a little spate of exceptionally low-quality replies about how it’s actually a good thing to misrepresent risk and old people will die anyway and who cares if they do.

I hope those people see this again and get even angrier.

It's been fun, it feels like a new superpower to "quickly fix something and send a PR". It's also a super dangerous rabbit hole generator, because now that it's easy to fix stuff, it's very tempting to do so… 🐇

My prototype has some rough edges:

It clones the latest commit, which doesn't always compile using the setup (but it seems reasonable to check whether the bug is still there).

And invoking the phases of the nixpkgs stdenv manually can be tricky. nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stabl

The EU will soon adopt its 20th sanctions package against Russia.

But the previous 19 haven’t changed one basic fact: Russia still imports hundreds of foreign-made components — including those manufactured by European companies — to mass-produce drones that are terrorizing Ukrainian cities.

Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" project, that developed a low-cost computer for children in developing countries? I was always amazed by a certain feature: The "View Source" button.

When you pressed it, the source code for the currently running application would open. This was supposed to encourage tinkering with the software on your device! <3

I've been pondering what it would take to build that button on modern machines. Has anyone seen something like that?

(Prototype in next toot.)

Bringing up my quarterly complaint that there isn’t a service that all news services use for micro-payments so I don’t have to subscribe to 100 news sources.

I’d love to give you money to read an article, but I’m not subscribing for one article.
