I’m inoculated more for certain types for sure - but it’s based on what I’ve been around already. I do think certain types of people - analytical types are slightly better at spotting it & avoiding & the types that just love to learn & to change their minds based on scientific evidence. To me that’s all we can hope for.
If your idea of truth though comes from a god or spirit then you are just stumbling in the dark.
Very true. I remember vbscript. I still have to write some occasionally. What’s funny is that powershell gets all the attention & security applied to it - but vbscript likely keeps its flaws in the name of backwards compatibility. I’m betting vbscript is a huge attack vector just waiting for some major exploitation that leads to its removal or being severely gimped.
Oh get out of here w/ that. It’s not bad as much as it’s just stupid - it’s literally a top down approach to social media. Fb & instagram have already made it big so of course they can launch & pull whatever bs they want.
It wasn’t organic & they hadn’t built anything w/ true merit & people are still tired of Zuck. He’s marginally better than musk these days at best. And maybe people aren’t as crazy about celebs & influencers wanting to be seen & heard as we all thought - as that’s not social media - that’s a Coca-cola commercial.
One can only hope. I think it is better if the developers that care about clean UI and workflows were to focus on Ubuntu Budgie or maybe even Budgie 11 or entirely new DE altogether. But as far as modern feeling and clean UI design I really do think Budgie 10.5.x is an overlooked gem of a DE.
It is fine to be opinionated, but I always found the… opinions I guess by the people over at elementary to be rude, condescending and not really in the interest of its actual users. I think if that weren’t the case though there’d be tons more people volunteering to make it one of the most popular and best distros around.
Ha - I actually have Windows (WinToGo) dual booting with Ubuntu Budgie on the same usb stick - plus a non-encrypted ntfs partition. The OS partitions are encrypted though given that is portable. Working out the LUKS details and boot partitions was difficult however as there is a serious lack of good information on how to do it successfully.
Slack too - just pay them $9 to access your own posts lol.
I think many were just that disgusted still - but I do agree. Why I left mine if posted under technical subs - otherwise I removed mine by overwriting.
Yes - we’re causing climate change but El Niño isn’t helping so I wouldn’t pretend like every year will be worse than this one - but yea it can be on the larger time scale should we not tackle climate change.
Might win me back over if the weird green lines and glitching I always see with chrome on intel GPUs under linux goes away. I’ve also spent a lot of time trying to debug the issue but nothing ever seems to fix it and of course none of the Linux driver devs that might be able to fix it care to work on the problem imo.
Guess I have felt lucky to have hardware decoding at all on chrome - considering the it has taken Firefox this long to support intel GPUs. I imagine it has something to do with how massive their codebase is compared to everyone elses.
Tbh you are best off start new projects on Debian, and slowly move your old stuff over. It’s linux - the main difference will all be in the package manager and versioning.
And that is dumb. Companies with any sense will veer to debian and distros that are going to be open with their own contributions because gasp - you can write code, put it out under gpl v2 or a permissive license and make money on the support contracts like they were doing.
My question is… has the reason RHEL and centos been as popular as it has been simply because of a 10 yr enterprise support term this entire time or something else?
I get Ubuntu Server only lasts for 5yr - unless you go spend for the extended support… but was 5yr LTS from ubuntu server really that make it or break it for people setting up solutions for companies? I feel like the upgrade path is also pretty painless on a 4-5yr cycle as well most of the time. I get it would be even nicer to set something and forget it for a decade - but reality is the 10yr term could be anywhere along the line, not like a new release was happening every year or 2 I doubt. I mean LTS does have that sorta overlap every couple of years so I guess maybe so did centos and RHEL, but still.
Tools are often built of specific and older versions still as well and with containerization being what it is now… I feel like Redhats big advantage of 10yr support periods is kind of diminished from what it was in the 90’s or early 2000’s.
This is a meme sub. Would be like me getting upset at people for posting Linux related questions under the Linux sub vs some tech sub or Windows sub.
There are proper places to have discussions and if you think a meme sub is one of them then you are going to have a bad time. Whether it plays into the hands of conservatives or not is another debate - but generally speaking I do not think making fun of their religion and views in this manner is something they can really weaponize. At some point they are likely to reach a tipping point where more and more people find them insufferable and start tuning them out. People can rarily keep using the same playbook to engage people over and over without them getting tired &/or fed up with it and them eventually.
A good number of us caught on to their grift early on, but en masse, people are slow and dumb. Sadly they need time to catch up to the latest scams and new mediums.
