I xí what you did there

And AI is in everything

I don’t know, you should ask the people that are doing that.

The guy who’s only part of the crime was watching out for the police is also guilty of the crime.

These executives should consider that, especially given that the war crimes and genocide charges are a matter of public record so they can’t claim ignorance.

It’s DNS

It does read a bit like someone running a low parameter llm on their GPU that’s been fine tuned on social media chatter.

Don’t be evil

I’d probably play BF6 and I do enjoy Apex Legends, but not enough to run Windows. Photoshop is great, but GIMP meets my non-professional needs. I’m not an engineer so AutoCAD isn’t a professional requirement and I can fix 3d prints or plan landscaping in freecad.

But, I can’t make Micrsoft stop enabling telemetry on my computer, inserting ads in my start menu or giving AI access to my entire system. I know there are tools to disable these things, I used them. I know the workaround to make local users, I know how to remove the AI integrations, I know how to use group policy to prevent the re-enabling of some items.

I don’t want to have to fight my computer in order to use it. I want it to do exactly what I want and nothing else. Linux lets me do it and that is more important than a few FPSs

Everyone gets to make that choice. Well, except the people who can’t upgrade to Windows 11… for them it’s Linux or joining a botnet at some time in the near future.

It depends on the DE.

Even still, typing mount /dev/sda1 external isn’t exactly Cirque du Soleil

I am not interested in playing any of those games.

The trick is to always install their system using btrfs-dkms.

It’s guaranteed to break in a way that Google cannot resolve.

There are no upcoming kernel patches that will fix the problem of people being ungrateful assholes.

Every time this topic comes up, you’d think that all Windows users are all professional graphic designers who use AutoCAD and also play Valorant professionally.

Windows users: “I don’t want to swap to Linux, you have to follow arcane instructions from the Internet and use the terminal to do basic tasks”

Also Windows users: “Now here is how you add a local user:”

at the first setup screen instead of answering any of the questions press Shift + F10.

CMD will open.

Type (no quotes) “net user Prefferedusername /add” (replacing Prefferedusername with the user name you wish to use) and press enter.

Next type “net localgroup administrators Prefferedusername /add” and press enter.

Next type “net user Prefferedusername /active:yes” and press enter.

Next type “net user Prefferedusername /expires:never” and press enter.

Next type “net user administrator /active:no” and press enter.

Next type “net user defaultUser0 /delete” (this is case sensitive make sure the “U” is capitalized) and press enter.

Next type “regedit” and press enter.

This opens registry editor, navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE”

Delete “DefaultAccountAction”, “DefaultAccountSAMName”, and “DefaultAccountSID”

Right click on “LaunchUserOOBE” and rename it to “SkipMachineOOBE” and make sure the value is set to “1”.

Close registry editor and type “shutdown /r /t 0”

nvim + tmux + ncmpcpp

Low distraction coding environment.

They’re really pulling the childish ‘We’re just going to make up a fake acronym using DEI’ card in an official government communication?

This is a clown show

The Linux kernel development structure works really well for industry. A lot of companies which depend on Linux hire people specifically to contribute to kernel development. The companies benefit in getting their specific needs met and we all benefit from the improvements they’ve made to the kernel.

Look at how much better the WINE ecosystem is now that Valve has developers working on Proton. It went from a neat piece of software that had a lot of rough edges and required someone with a bit of technical knowledge to ‘Check the compatibility box’ in about 2 years.

This kind of FOSS interaction is a much more sustainable and scalable structure than the entire world paying one company who then hires all of the developers and charges everyone a premium.

If more of the EU moves to FOSS solutions that’ll be massive for the community. (And a big driver for recruiting Linux sysadmins)

Exactly.

It’s also a way that people can contribute to the network without needing third party payment services. I don’t need to find some node operator’s socials and look up a patron to use a credit card.

If I already have an account with a crypto exchange then it’s easy to pay the operators.
