I like buying shit as much as the next person, I also don't think endless growth for shareholders is a laudable goal and is likely dangerous. I also don't think that essential services should be run for profit, but then I am from a country with proper government health care. Government should set a baseline, not a company.
But as I said, I still like buying shit
Maybe they're programming socks?
Found the millenial
millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars
So in Nebraska a two men with a measurable difference in size and strength in a relationship are actually heterosexual?
Why would I want those extra features in my torrent client? My transmission runs in a container and does its job
sighs heavily in Australian
People who hate them have never driven them
Yes let's shift the blame off massive polluting companies, we should eat veggies and let them warm the earth
Before the rise of Android and ios I'd have said it was possible, but the goal posts have shifted pretty far. Unless something backed by a corporate entity or government rises Up, it's a no. A chromeos type thing for smartphone is not going to happen for mass market, because there is already Android.
Discounting Android, the last mile of what a smartphone is capable of can not be accomplished in Foss manner, without end to end verified OS images and some kind of secure enclave for banking and "security" features, carriers and banks are not going to get on board any more. Convenience features like DRM video streaming, casting also probably are not achievable either
the money is drying up, gotta find new ways to monetise
The back fingerprint reader used to have gestures, so swiping down on it could for example open the notification shade. Was really good for not having greasy fingerprints on your screen
It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn't necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don't offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.
There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.
No one knows
whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you'll buy time on a "cloud pc" like what microsoft will already sell you in azure
Move to silverblue/kinoite and when the urge to use another DE just rebase the OStree to the other branch - Silverblue for Gnome, Kinoite for KDE, Sericea for sway, Vauxite for xfce and there are some other not yet official branches for other DEs on Quay
potentially dipping your hand in the toilet bowl
Only in those strangely deep american toilets
Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1
For me it has been since 2012.
Similarly if nvidia wanted me to buy their cards they'd get their drivers sorted out. While plugging in an amd card just works with literally no setup from me, nvidia will get no money from me
Pipewire has been great, except for some edge cases
Still got passthrough issues 2years later
The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?
really? From the outside looking in, it looks like most Christians are atheists just putting on a show because it's expected of them. Its the only logical explanation for otherwise rational people buying into that twaddle
how will I read the instructions a vendor sent me for a windows server that is a word doc because who knows? Oh no... Anyway
Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn't make enough money, that's why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.
Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from
The flatpak size disadvantage is negligible in the age of terabytes
the issue is overstated as most flatpaks use the flatpak platform runtimes and share their own libraries in a similar manner to the host, yes its separate libraries, but its not dozens of disparate copies like some detractors of flatpak seem to state
Don't know if this counts - used Fedora KDE for about a decade and then last year moved to Fedora Kinoite. It's essentially the same, but is OSTree based and immutable. I like the solid base, the rebasing function and containers
Things like androidpay/apple pay type functions require a chain of security checks, on Android it's levels of safety net. some banking apps require similar
They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory
you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?
Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we're up to now.
It doesn't even need to be a script you could just alias the 2 commands on a single line to a command in bashrc
Brave at least claims to be an actual fork of chromium, they cherry pick upstream apparently. It's still full of crypto bs, so choose your poison.
Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something
At 720p you can, not 1080p or 2160p - Linux meets minimal widevine
Red Hat 6 on the front of a magazine in 2000 which was an interesting curiosity, and then a Fedora Core 2 live disc my university lecturer was handing out in 2004.
What's taters, precious?
deep water, as in strange high water line, not deeper bowl
without hashtags, I cant discover anything on bluesky, its made discoverability so much harder than mastodon imho
I pay $17AUD a month for a family plan
You can get usb-c aux adapters that split off a charge port too, they aren't very expensive either
Really wish davinci had a flatpak or appimage
I picked up RedHat 6.0 (hedwig) on the front of a Linux magazine in 2000. Took a few days to get X working on my Pentium3 at the time. In the end the thing that sent me back to Windows was an inability to get my modem running and thus no internet.
When I was at university in 2004 doing a network administration course, our lecturer was very proud of the livecd he'd created with an environment for the course. It was based on Fedora core 2. It was fascinating. Tried to install fc on my laptop at the time but struggled with ndis wrapper to get WiFi running.
Would try again out my early career (2006), went out to Ubuntu and debian. Gamed in early dx7/8 days in wine and Cedega. Would run home servers and mythtv on Linux over the years.
When the steam client beta came out I tried again in earnest to move to Linux full time and was ultimately successful, coming back to Fedora KDE 19 and staying there until moving to Fedora Kinoite last year.
Don't use Windows really except when I have to with building the SOE and a few windows servers at work. I am involved with azure and azureAD at work, so to me Microsoft is mostly a website and a powershell prompt.
Totally not robots! Am I right fellow HUMANS!
