  • Well, as far as I know, the open source seeds are not that great. It is not commercially viaible to switch your agriculture business to them. Maybe only a tiny plot for marketing campaigns like the “open source bread” some bakeries want to sell.

    I’d love to see some billionaire hire a bunch of plant biologist to develop modern, high performing, commercially viable seeds and open source them instead of milking the cashcow.

    The opensource seeds project does not reject gen tech per se. but since they don’t have that kind of money, all the seeds they develop are made through old school breeding of outdated seeds that are not commercially licensed.

    But I think the idea is not only very important but also really interesting.










  • There isn’t even a real photoshop competitor in the broader market, but you want to further split the hobbyist devs effort on linux as well?

    I think instead it would be better to focus all the effort on a single solution that strives to cover all of photoshops features, with at least equal or better usability. Like has been done with Blender and godot for example. (And GIMP is sadly faaar from it still)








  • Honestly, I have no idea why it went wrong or why it let me do that. Also my memory is a bit fuzzy since it’s been a while, but as best I can remember what I did step by step:

    1. fuck around with power management configs
    2. using btrfs-assistant gui app, rolled back to before that
    3. btrfs-assistant created an additional snapshot, called backup something, I didn’t really pay attention
    4. reboot, all seemed good
    5. used btrfs-list to take a look, the subvolume that was the current root / was a child of the aformentioned backup subvolume
    6. started btrfs-assistant and deleted the backup subvolume
    7. system suddenly read only
    8. reboot, still read only
    9. btrfs check said broken refs and some other errors,
    10. i tried to let btrfs check fix the errors, which made it worse, now I couldn’t even mount the drive anymore because btrfs was completely borked
    11. used btrfs rescue, which got all files out onto an external drive successfully
    12. installed arch again and rsync the rescued files over the new install, everything works as before, all files are there
