Will they be using btrfs snapshots or subvolumes to make it immutable?

Most places seem to issue Mac's now for the role. I just create a 90% cpu & memory Linux VM on them and work from within that, with the exception of teams or zoom meetings being native on the Mac (no echo cancellation on linux VM's, it seems). Works mostly well, but it is arm64 based linux, as the Mac's currently are M series.

Ended up going with Arch for arm64, as it had the simplest way to add widevine support to my browsers.

Much better than being native on the Mac... Mac doesn't give me the two select&paste linux 2nd copy buffer, doesn't provide focus follows mouse, no auto-raise, and type in partially covered windows without raise. Essential for my workflow.

Isn't it illegal to screw with the military actions of the U.S. ... and its allies?!!?

I'm picturing Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny swapping hunting signs on a tree... "Linux season!" "GNU season!", back and forth. The rest of us just watching like Elmer Fud.

Warning: No matter what anyone tells you, do not use any rm command with the -r option and/or any wildcard charachers like * and ?, unless you understand the command fully.

If you need Adobe, just don't bother with linux on your primary work / study machine. Save linux for another system.

The "TLDR" is sub heading is completely misleading. Cinnamon devs see they have to move, that's the reason. "Begging to work" on Wayland is not at all what the article says. Before you downvote, read it. Nothing in that article or the link to one dev's blog says anything even remotely like that.

This was no accident. They want you to install apps via their walled garden snap store.

In their general rules:

Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).

Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.

Wow. Just wow. That is so far beyond leftist.

Cant follow the money to see who owns him if there are no accounts. For any adult with a roof over their head, to not have at least one bank account is very odd, and for a politician, very sus.

Sure, if it's a native Linux port. If it requires WINE, forget it.

For one, the snap version is 115 instead of 116, so it's reverting me to an older version, which makes firefox want to wipe my profile. Not ok. Two, I was purposely using the Mozillateam PPA to get non snap installations, and they up and changed that on us with no warning. Then there is the matter that firefox as a snap is slower. And finally, I can't add the Widevine for arm64 plugin to the snap.

Snap for browsers is a terrible idea.

Don't know about everyone else, but here are some of mine:

  • Stick to posix compliance shell code, wherever possible
  • Please wrap your variables with { }. Just please.
  • Global variables being exported in all caps
  • Local variables in lower case
  • $() instead of ` `
  • Comment anything complicated, comment what section, comment usage
  • Include usage output if options are not recognized
  • Use case instead of if / elif, where possible
  • 80 characters or less per line, where possible
  • HERE docs in designated section, marked by comment blocks
  • Comment your functions immediately above it's definition
  • Add comment "#End of function Xyz" at line immediately below a function, with replacing Xyz with name of that function
  • 2 space indentation
  • Multi-line strings: First line open with quote and first line of string, followed by a backslash , subsequent lines properly indented and backslashed. Last line, properly indented and close quoted.
  • Break up multiple piping of commands with |\ and a new line where it makes sense to look nice, assisting readability
  • Echo what the script is doing once in a while if the user will be waiting for a while
  • Please don't do shar archives, or byte located binary extractions, make a script and a separate tarball - Helps a ton if we have to change it, like say... swapping out a bundled java runtime built for x86_64 with one for aarch64
  • If the script will run for a very long time, check for tmux or screen and also the TMOUT variable... Give a warning to the user their connection might time out before the script is done if they don't unset TMOUT, and try using tmux or screen to allow the script to continue in the background, even if you do get disconnected
  • Make use of logger
  • I try to organize a script this way: 1. Shebang, 2. Initial variable definitions, 3. Functions, 4. runtime execution code, which might be best outside of a function, and calling functions. 5. Clean-up (remove pid and lock files, tmp files, etc etc.)

That's so fetch!

Take that Ubuntu and your PPA that use to not drive people to your snap package!

You still have sd devices? /s

Simple, start teaching it in elementary school all the way up through high school. Apple did it long ago and got apple users out of those kids. Microsoft does it now, and now you have Windows users. Just need the computer education to be Linux centric from the start. It's not that it's different, it's that it's not what they grew up with and were taught.

No no, give him to Ukrain, where they can charge and try him. Hopefully end up with life in prison or something better (worse?). Giving him to Russia just makes him more of a Russian asset.

That post changed my life, gave me a great hobby, which became a career, and still puts food on the table for me and my family to this day. Thank you, Linus.

Bcachefs, and bcachefs on root. Need something with filesystem level encryption instead of LUKS, and *ubuntu's and derivatives have all abandoned ZFS on root installs now.

I like that... I'll take it. Thank you for putting it that way.

That Wayland works for everybody.

This is one of those many posts that leaves me wondering, "Why do you want to know?" "What are you going to do with the information?"

It happens naturally or not at all.

Oh god, she is NOT a help. She's how we got Trump in the first place. We really need her to stay out of the news from now on.

2 billion was perfect. Let's get back to that and stay there.

Every dream I've ever had. Far as I know, I am the only one to survive them ending.

I'd like a GUI app for generating CLI's for other GUI apps that don't have them already. An application is never complete unless everything can be done via a CLI and/or API.

Previous job. They sold off our main product in one industry so they could focus on the more demanding other product for another industry. The first product end users actually wanted. The second product, end users did not want it, but the manufacturers did... because it gave them all that wonderful spying on you data to sell. Then the company died during the shutdowns. The stupid apps they gave people didn't entice anyone to use them.

About dang time the Wayland crew did this and stopped blaming NVidia.

The rock64 version likely is the same, except for boot loader stuff. Often times these SBC's require custom boot software, firmware, or configuration. The rest of the distro should be straight up debian.

Haha. Anyone staying there at this point is getting what they deserve.

Hence me now moving off of it.
