Turns out it’s just a logic bomb

I mean, can’t you just package your app in flatpack or even snap? Bam, your app works on 99% of distributions for little effort. That’s what Spotify does, and I’d argue they have even less incentive to support Linux than proton does

We are all made in its image. The flesh is an aberration

Movin to the country gonna have me a can of pudding

For my pihole, I have a group set up that the blocklists don’t apply to, so devices I add to that group aren’t subject to filtering.

Tech bros will call trains unviable and obsolete and then burn truckloads of money on shit like this

Google’s going to delete inactive google accounts. So if you see a channel whose last upload was six years ago, there’s a good chance it’s about to be deleted

I don’t like the insinuation that because gnome devs are volunteers they are somehow beyond criticism

You can volunteer on a project and still do a bad job, or need corrective action, or maybe even a little feedback. That’s not a bad thing. Nobody can make the right decision 100% of the time, and you need an outside perspective to see that.

One thing where you should draw the line is when that criticism starts to become abusive, but that’s something nobody should have to put up with, not just volunteers.

I wonder if the fact that Amtrak is nationalized and freight are private corporations has anything to do with how the employees get treated… Something to think about when it comes to freight railroads

This meme is hilarious! It would be even more funny if you plugged me into a shuttlecraft computer

I love how they’ve been growing the characters on lower decks. Shaxs’ transformation from “don’t talk to me I’m pissed off!” to “where’s the help in that?” is fantastic

Having slept on an air mattress for the first year or two of my adult life, I can confirm that it definitely does fuck up your back

Oof. I just got over that a few weeks ago and still don’t feel quite right.

I hope you feel better!

I-it’s not like I wanted to hit the fiber line or anything BAKA!

ha ha yup. Plus i don't think you can clear the screen from within diskpart. You need to exit before you can use regular commands again.

I've grown up with windows (started with windows 95 in elementary school) and have been a Linux user since 2009. Watching windows decline and the Linux desktop grow and mature has been quite the ride. I've been distro-hopping for years and have finally settled on Debian Testing. It does exactly what I tell it to do. It helps me accomplish whatever task I'm doing and then gets out of the way.

Windows on the other hand is the polar opposite of that. Constantly nagging you to use OneDrive. New panels and "experiences" popping up out of nowhere. Unskippable OOBEs after a major update that force you to navigate some dark pattern if you have the audacity to resist using a Microsoft account. The telemetry that you know is running under the hood 24/7. Hands and knees begging you to use Edge to open PDFs?!?! Using windows today is like using Clippy - the operating system.

Linux has come such a long way, and outside of some proprietary edge cases, I can no longer imagine using Windows as a daily driver
