Strong recommend for learning the swipe motions. It takes a few min to learn but it’s free real-estate after that. And it’s faster. At least for me.

Not really. Imagine they replace the ssh binary with a back doored version. Home directory encryption protects your data but not your system.

You need to let the scientists know this! I’m sure your insights will be very valuable to them.

Hot take. Under semantic versioning everything after vista has been in essence a new version of vista.

Going from NT 5.x to 6.x was a major jump.

The reason why Vista had no/terrible drivers was because they went from an insecure one driver bug crashed the whole system model to more secure isolated drivers that don’t crash the whole system model. Developers had to learn how to write new drivers and none of the XP drivers worked.

They went from a single user OS with a multi user skin on top, to a full role based access control user system.

They went from global admin/non-admin permissions to scoped UAC permissions for apps.

Remember on Vista when apps constantly had that “asking for permissions” popup? That was the apps not using the 6.x UAC APIs.

Given the underlying architectural situation everything since Vista has been vista with polish added (or removed depending on how you look at it)

Things will go beyond vista when a new major release with new mandatory APIs shows up.

I mean post scarcity means post scarcity. So anyone who wants a chateau gets one. Most people I don’t think would actually want one though. It means being more isolated, maybe one a newly habitable planet.

Personally I wouldn’t want or need one. Give me a truly for real actually sound isolated large apartment in a great location and I would be happy.

100%. If they used Linux they would actually have to contribute their improvements back. Because Sony went with FreeBSD they get to use all that community code and build their product on top of it. Win win for Sony as a corp. not so great for the rest of us.

Imagine if FreeBSD had all the graphics pipeline improvements that Sony undoubtedly have added in house.

I’m not sure this is true. From a non-technical user perspective Linux is as visible on the steam deck as FreeBSD is on the PS5. Yah it’s there, but you don’t see it unless you try.

This is incorrect. Functional code bases exist in many production environments. Twitter (pre musk) migrated their bloated code base TO Scala because functional code bases are easier to maintain and understand.

If you think about it, it makes sense, side effect free code will be easier to maintain just due to the lack of side effects.

I do the same. I still get a ton of posts like this don’t include any relevant key words and still are about musk or trump. It’s impossible to escape.

Small note. Opensuse Leap is EXTREMELY stable. Just as stable as RHEL and more stable than non-LTS Ubuntu. It’s just less well marketed in the English speaking world.

I can’t speak for general use. But use it to:

1. Build Rust artifacts
2. Rebuild static sites, upload them to a bucket, then clear the CDN cache.

It works perfectly for me and I have not run into issues. But it might be bad for other people. I just know it works well for me.

I use forjero with forgero runners.

Basicly 100% compatible with GitHub actions and all locally run via podman.

Strong recommend. It’s all designed to work together and everything just works.

Sadly no. Licenses like MIT or BSD are free as in freedom but don’t stop others from taking that freedom away in future releases.

Did you respond to the wrong post? I’m not gate keeping or attacking at all.

No one is holding anyone back or stopping anyone from participating here. No one wants to limit who can use Linux. I want everyone to use Linux actually. That would be amazing.

All copy left software is foss but not all foss is copy left.

If gnu utils where MIT licensed instead of GPL we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have today.

Cisco fought against opening things up tooth and nail but was forced to because of their use of community GPL code. If the code was MIT the community would have nothing back.

MIT lets companies use community work to enrich themselves without giving back.

GPL forces companies to give back if they want to or not.

Why let companies enrich themselves at the cost of society if we don’t have to?

Engram. It’s a great layout that focuses on pinky in rolls.

It’s a steep layout to learn even compared to thing like Colemak but I find it quite satisfying.

This article is from 2024. Hopefully it worked out. 😆

Different customers are dumb in different ways and different customers have different personalities.

If I sent a template email I would probably offend most of my customers. Lol.

Depends on the email. Sometimes it’s needed.

I can spend 10-20 min writing an email that basically says “no your idea is dumb and won’t work” to customers in such a way where by the end of it they agree with me.

It can take a bit of effort but with high stakes communication it’s needed.

If you’re just sending an email to your teacher or whatever it doesn’t really matter.

It matters though. Like in Germany telegram is associated with hard right wings groups. Telling someone you use telegram makes them assume that you are a part of hard right ideologies.

It’s a shame as the telegram app is really snappy. You always have to say that you are on telegram but are not right wing. Even then people can be suspicious.
