It sais in the readme that LDAP and SQL based auth is supported.

Hahahaha :'D I am crying!

Until someone can provide actual, techological disadvantages of systemd over currently available, viable alternatives, this is an irrelevant culture war for me. I feel like some people made hating system-d a core element of their identity and personality.

The rar example was pretty random because I encountered that once. Also, I have t admit that I also know windows users who haven't got the tiniest clue what they are doing. I just feel like it's even worse on mac because the OS is more oppinionated and tends to hide even more complexity from its users without actually solving it. Windows also has got some horrendous default settings btw., e.g. hiding file extensions in explorer and searching through documents content when using the explorer search bar.

You must be fun at parties! Seriously, this is a meme sub and the wildly exaggerated helloworld example I pasted (from this hilarious article) is obviously satire. I agree, that

1. There are way worse programming languages than Java
2. The verbosity is not the biggest problem of java, it is rather the dogmatic OOP paradigm that sucks.

Thanks, everyone knows they have a weird coc. It obviously only applies to the maintainers/members of the project though and is more of a statement than something that is actually enforced. As a convinced atheist, I also find it pretty weird but see absolutely no reason at all to avoid sqlite because of that. What matters is: Code quality/correctness (which is absolutely superb when it comes to sqlite) and license, of course. Why would I care about the authors beliefs? They don't even directly benefit from me using their product.

Honestly, most windows users I know at least know where their files are stored and stuff like that. Average Mac users don't know if something is synced with the cloud or not and can't unpack a rar archive without calling support because they are deliberately kept dumb by that restrictive, overly oppinionated, lock-in OS and unrepairable, un-upgradable hardware ecosystem. I'm using linux as daily driver on laptop and desktop for almost a decade now and I hate windows with a passion, but mac manages to be even worse. Although windows is also getting worse with every version since win7, so they might be on par soon...

Similar problem here, but I use debian for everything that's not audio/video related.

Hello world in Java:

 java

    
class 9-A {
    public static endangered therefore protected final void main(String[] args) {
        System.prepareTheOutputBufferForPrintingAsTheNextStatementWillDoSo(args);
        System.in.out.in.out.shake.it.all.around("Java is a programming language " +
            "invented by the intelligent monkeys " +
            "working at Sun Microsystems.");
        return void; // duh!
    }
 }

  

Oof level: over 9000

(Yes, old memes are back!)

I once got genuinely hugged from behind by a girl thinking I was her BF. Kinda fun because I was waiting for my Gf to arrive and first assumed it would be her. The other girl also had a similar height and hair color xD

Probably spez in a pathetic attempt to shit on the lemmy platform :-P

I didn't even know the origin of that term. That's kinda sad, thanks for the info!

Yes, that's why I installed it from unstable. The ESR version is an older version with added security patches. I'm not sure, why exactly they are doing it like that and I don't think it's a good idea. I'd say a browser should be as up to date as possible for both, bug fixes AND new features. But it worked flawlessly using the "unstable" firefox package. Another option would be the flatpak, but that's not that well integrated into the system - last time I tried that, the font rendering in the browser was awkward. I use some other flatpaks though, most notably gimp and inkskape which work really well and are very up to date that way.

I've been using it for 5 years on laptop and desktop and I've had very few issues since then. Imo it offers the best trade-off between up to date packages (and availability of packages and repos), rolling release and stability. I don't see any reason to switch distros anytime soon.

More details: I'm using xfce and I've installed firefox from the unstable branch (via apt pinning) because I wanted it to be more bleeding edge.

Comparing browsers peformance is not that simple, due to the immense complexity. The only part that's significantly faster in chrome is the JS engine (V8). The CSS engine, for example, is much faster in firefox (try stylebench if you don't believe me) - at least it was last time I tried it. Here are some benchmark results for comparison: https://arewefastyet.com/linux64/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60

Also, firefox uses much less resources (CPU/Ram), so it consumes less battery and doesn't slow down other programs as much while it's running in the background.

Simple fix: Install firefox and never use a chromium based browser again. :-P

Good meme. Could use some more jpeg though!

Debian testing (more up to date than ubuntu, rolling release, much more stable than the name suggests, truly free as in freedom)

In my experience the AUR is a dumpsterfire where half of the stuff doesn't work or breaks other things in your system. Definitely not a reason to switch to arch or manjaro for me.
