A few years ago there was a fantastic video detailing thorvald’s PC and it is a beast, crazy how far we’ve come

While Microsoft and Google merely pretend to like open source but transparently hate it, it is (was) not quite as obvious that red hat wanted to capture the enterprise Linux market wholesale. What red hat has done is terrible for the ecosystem, much more so than Microsoft just throwing out worthless tokens of appreciation.

Anything running on a copy-on-write filesystem can trivially rollback changes using a rescue partition.

I also expect most immutable distros would be able to be especially good at tanking this.

So obviously this sucks, however.

Look into timewarrior+taskwarrior. They’re the only tools I’ve ever seen for these types of tasks that don’t fucking suck ass.

What so like the guy was casually sabotaging while carrying a copy of Das kapital? This doesn’t make any sense

Can’t really go wrong with the old school nagios+thruk. The learning curve is a tad steep but it teaches you a lot of things about your systems.

This is a classic move to not get sued, exactly like airlines do. If you try to sue them after redeeming the gift card, they can argue that you’ve been made whole, and do 'ot 'eed additional compensation.

*due to previous crimes committed against our ancestors as retaliation for the exact same thing we’re doing right now

Name one instance in which it’s ever ok for a bomb of any kind to be fired anywhere near children.

It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it’s not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.

If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it’s notifications

Kde connect is great.

Macron just dissolved the national assembly. There’s no reason to believe the new assembly won’t exactly represent the same percentages we have just witnessed. Our country is fucked.

A hexbear in that thread is literally claiming that “the soldiers did everything they could to avoid hurting him” when there’s a photo of him lying dead on the street after the tanks have gone through. They don’t think it’s fine, they’re saying it didn’t happen (curious)

This is done all the time to sell games that aren’t available as CD keys, against TOS.

The seller usually gives you a login to a webmail they control, and the account is tied to that email. You can then change the email on the account and you have access to the original email to confirm the move.

I mean maybe? Arch is fun as a project, but imo it’s not very fun if you’re looking for a stable daily driver without fuss.

If you enjoy spending an evening tinkering with your config and installing various workarounds, arch is the perfect playground for you, but if that annoys you then I’d suggest looking at more stable established distros, at the very least until you start to get bored by stability. Personal pick is debian, but if you’re coming from IT you could install a distro you’re already familiar with like alma or Ubuntu.

? TikTok isn’t banned in France.

This isn’t a “we’ll sue you” clause, it’s a “we’ll never do business with you again” clause

I’ve used my personal google drive with fuse drive before. Some users report bugs so maybe it’s not prod ready but I’ve had succes

If you like this then I’d recommend reading more papers published at sigbovik. Favorites include “do programming socks make you better at programing?”, “making hard drives by increasingly stupid and unworkable means” and “a formal mathematical proof that I am transgender”
