  • These aren’t unknown things. Airports are taken very seriously, and they work closely with regulators.

    But especially when you’ve worked in a high reliability airport, you can’t help when you travel to others and notice where they’re falling behind, things they haven’t done yet. Etc.

  • Do you need Timeshift on an opensuse system? I haven’t used Leap, but had a Tumbleweed install for years which has Snapper pre installed.

    You can install btrfs-assistant to help you manage snapper. You could have it create backups of your /home, then you can rollback if you think you’ve messed up too much.

    The firefox thing seems just firefox behaviour to me. Does it not do that in Windows? But you could use a firefox based browser that respects privacy more. Librewolf and zen browser you can install via Flathub or an appimage from their website. Librewolf at least will by default end and forget a session when you close the browser.

    (FYI - best way to deal with appimages is to install Gearlever from flathub, then when you download an appimage you open gearlever and “install” the appimage. Gearlever is just for better integrating appimages into your system but also for keeping them updated).

    My last Tumbleweed install I ran from 2019 to 2023. During this time flatpaks got a lot better and flathub got a lot more programs available. Now I use flatpaks as my first option for software, unless I think it’s something that will give me problems being containerised.

    Opensuse 1-click… you’re right, those can be a pain. You often end up adding additional repos, and it’s never fun trying to clean up the problems that come with that after a while.

    My suggestion is search for “opensuse ‘programs name’” and see if they maintain it in their repository first. (You can use Opensuse’s preinstalled Yast to search for it even to keep it simple). If no, look for it on flathub, remember to look to see when the flatpak was last built, in case it’s been unmaintained for a while. Failing that, check the developers page (usually GitHub or gitlab or similar) to see if they have recommended steps for install.

  • Maybe the author of the article/blog doesn’t know about Heroic?

    They mention lutris, but note that it isn’t a functional equivalent to Galaxy. But as far as I’m aware, Heroic is (correct me if I’m wrong, I haven’t seen Galaxy in action).

  • I didn’t think you made stuff up. I thought you were making an interesting point at first (why I asked for more detail), but then you rambled on vaguely and didn’t answer my question at all.

    I’ll go look into ARM somewhere else.

  • Going out to pubs and pointing out all the missing or lacking essential safety measures.

    Going pretty much anywhere and talking about the breaches of electrical safety requirements.

    In airports and explaining all the ways they aren’t complying with safety regulations. And now that I don’t work in an airport anymore I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.

  • The original Transport Tycoon was distributed as shareware, would have been 95 or 96 when I was playing it off a shareware disc.

    Not sure if TTD got a shareware release too, but i got that one as a retail boxed version.

    But for 94 or 95 if you didn’t have a shareware version then your game was pretty much doomed.

  • Relax, mate. I’m not trying to take away your Windows Server. Just talking about how bad windows is from end user perspective.. absolute rubbish, barely usable, nearly impossible to troubleshoot.

    I’m glad you get along with it from your IT professional/server admin role.

  • It’s online, but it’s still a community. It’s cool to see something you wrote a few weeks ago went down nicely with people you interact with.

    The same as having a conversation with the lady at our local post office can end with some laughs or something like that.

  • Openbox was great. I learned Linux using fluxbox, and moved over to openbox down the track because it was familiar. I stayed with it until about 2015 I think.

    Labwc could be a similar wayland experience (although it’s not their mission statement), but I haven’t been able to try it yet.

  • On lemmy, yes, every few months I have a quick scroll in my post history.

    Just to be like “haha, I remember that conversation” or something.

    Also, as I scroll through I’m like “hey, people liked this” because at the time you just say something and move on. But maybe later you can see people were into it.
