Often times when there was a big new update for GNOME, I’d try it out, decide I still don’t like the concept and go back to plasma.
I don’t get the appeal of that desktop. Even the tiniest changes need gnome-tweaks? Why isn’t that stuff part of the base settings? But ok. You can’t ungimp GNOME. The usage concept is baked into it. Fine. But why?
I mean there must be people who want this and nothing else, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.
These protections work at different layers and hence, you use both.
First off, you can’t really encrypt the first boot loader by design, your UEFI needs something it can read and run. You need to protect this first boot stage somehow, and this is what Secure Boot is for; it verifies the signature of the payload it starts to protect it against tampering.
Rogue, rouge is French for red and usually refers to makeup
I think once you’re at the level of caring about that stuff you’re no longer considered a newbie
Introducing the dummy thiccpad
I will roll into my grave
I don’t like companies framing non-physical as “digital”. It implies physical is somehow not digital. All optical discs that matter nowadays however are. The only non-digital (or analog) optical medium I know of was laserdisc
You’re not supposed to modify shipped unit files, that’s why systemd supports drop in snippets
resolved is entirely optional and disabled by default, I use it on case of non-mobile devices but leave it on laptops etc.
DNS resolution isn’t something exotic, it makes sense for systemd to implement it in a simple optional daemon
It’s Stockholm syndrome
I mean who doesn’t like putting mandatory quotes around all variables (though exceptions, like in [[ ... ]], apply)?
Or keywords like fi and esac or worrying about $IFS
I like it (am actually sponsoring) but I’m not sure development is still active. I hope the author finds the time and energy to work on it again it’s someone else picks it up
Almost nobody cares about these features for new shells. POSIX compatibility in my opinion is an anti-feature for interactive shells; for scripts, use the shell referenced in the shebang. There are even newer POSIX compatible shells like oil if you want one of these.
I’m pretty sure AI partners are not the primary reason people don’t have human partners. The issues are systematic and root very deeply. While I do think AI partners are a very toxic and dangerous way out of this, I highly doubt they were the reason people were single in the first place.
Yeah, you often hear stuff like “back then, we stuck together and helped each other!” Yeah because otherwise you wouldn’t have had anything. Also a lot of people were super wary of anyone else because of the StaSi and their IMs (think spies recruited from the general population, literally means unofficial employee) so the “we’re in this together” was often on a more superficial level
You know what’s also super woke? Phones that Russia can’t track. At least for migrants
Or games for that matter
Keep in mind this is a statement by a manufacturer who’s trying to get his customers to sign long term contracts at current prices, so it’s in their interest to have people believe that the shortage continues.
Doesn’t mean it’s not possible, bit it should be read in that context
