  • I advise booking a city square, loud music, background dancers, printed flyers with the URL of your Github repo, and a big countdown clock when you change repo visibility to public (Github has an option for that, but you need to click it yourself at the exact time, there no option to publish it on timer).

  • For example, don't ever say you use Windows here lest a whole horde of people jump in to call you an idiot for not having switched to Linux

    Just copy Linux Mint onto an USB stick. No need to boot it, you hang it around your neck like a cross, and display it to raging pinguinoids to pacify them.

    I am using Debian, in case you were wondering.

  • Intel UHD graphics.

  • I've switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

  • Is this aircraft carrier made out of ceramic? Steel does not crack.

  • The only reasonable answer

  • Because the communism is a convenient ideology for totalitarian states to exploit and control the population.

    It's exactly like the middle-ages Christianity, with the Bible promoting humanitarian ideology, and the church exploiting the hell out of the population.

    That's also why communists banned all religions, they don't want any competition.

  • Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.

  • Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

    Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

    CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it's compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

    Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

    Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3... 2... 1...

  • Tasker script to turn on your screen and launch the app.

  • Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.

    Most casual users won't even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.

    When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.

    But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won't add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you'll see your sales drop like a brick.

  • My home provider had IPv6 for like two years, after I specifically opened a support ticket for it. Now it's broken and they won't bother to fix it, because no one else asks them.

  • You can kinda sorta run Linux userspace on Android, with a bit of compatibility layer.

  • I've worked with programmers from Europe, they have above average pay.

  • Makes perfect sense to switch all Korean military to the in-house built ruggerized Samsung Galaxy S24.

  • Peak evolution

  • I believe the author got the wrong job position. If your job title is something like 'software developer', yeah you are measured by the amount of lines of code. You should aim for a senior role such as 'system architect' or 'technical lead', then you have some kind of guidelines from the sales side of business, and your job is to turn them into requirements and produce the final product, and you choose the tech stack and other details that are inconsequential for sales bug will get the programmers flinging keyboards.

  • Once the government switched to Linux en-masse, Microsoft will have no leverage whatsoever, no solution they can possibly propose will beat free software.

    LibreOffice is totally adequate for most government jobs.

    It's not like there's no precedent, Germany's government already switched to Linux

    The only possible way to generate money is through the use of online document editing services, but Google Docs pretty much cornered the market here.

  • They were supposed to select jurors based of no allegiance to the defendant.

  • That 450 000 counter is for dead + wounded, according to the explanation they gave some time ago.
