With the local law, probably not. With the translating the concerns of open communities like the fediverse and FLOSS into legal terms, most definitely.

Three, no more, no less. Three is the number of pi. Four should not be pi, neither two. Five is right out.

But it’s a giant island surrounded by water. Surely they can just pipe some water over to the deserts right? /s

Teams is a giant turd but using it is a reality of working with a lot of companies so it’s nice it’s at least easy to install a slightly more functional version.

Nope, no waiting, sitting on the call with me while we try multiple things and waiting through reboots while he bounced ideas off I believe an internal slack discussion or something. no trying to get off the call or hand me off to meet some arbitrary call time quota.

My SOs system76 had intermittent graphics issues and their tech support had hour-long calls with me over several weeks and additional emails correspondence where we did some very in-depth testing and monitoring of the machine. I think most of the testing was that their team genuinely wanted to know if it was a hardware or software issue and fix it right.

In the end they replaced the entire motherboard under warranty because they pointed out in another month and it wouldn’t be covered and it might fix it. It did.

I suspect it was just a bad Nvidia GPU. It sucks that it had the problem and that it was difficult to track down but all laptops break.

I challenge anyone to find that level of support from a Windows manufacturer without having a corporate account.

They discontinued that native app and have a kinda broken pwa. But open-source community delivers.

So they banned the people that successfully registered a bunch of AI bots and had them fly under the mods radar. I’m sure they’re devastated and will never be able to get on the site again…

AMD’s been a better community member but like others said, even if Nvidia is more of a “pain” it’s generally easier than windows on most distros. They’ll detect and install it for you or it’s just a single package to install from the software library.

Some free advice, If you’re worried about it stick with a mainstream distro. They’ll have tested releases more. it may seem counter intuitive but apply updates often, updates over multiple versions are more likely to have untested combinations of packages. If the drivers stop working, you’ll just not have acceleration, just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

Yeah they probably mean easy. And probably easy for me, or what I already know.

That said, one of the complaints I commonly hear about Gnome is that it’s simplified to the point of being hard to use. So again, simplification is probably not what they mean.

All this electric mower love in the comments and I’m looking at fixing the carb on my 20 year old gas mower because the arm broke off my electric after 2 years.

So much jpeg

I heard that in my bones…

Sounds pretty great to me honestly… Might spin up vm this weekend and give it a shot!

Thought let’s be honest, I’ve grown kinda lazy in my old age and compiling kernels is kinda a pain if you don’t need to so I dont know if I’ll actually use it for anything

Technically it’s not browser tolerance but spec tolerance. It’s built into the html5 spec to tolerate different tags closing and other things invalid in xml.

This was an important design that grew out of one of the largest failings of xhtml that such failures would make the entire page unrenderable.

I was being sarcastic because really it doesn’t have a tool with explicit features, just a workaround using a couple features together.

For a new user it’s very difficult to do a pretty basic task.

It does! And it’s so easy to use.

• Draw a circle with the ellipse selection tool
• From the edit menu choose “stroke selection” and follow the dialogs
• Remove your selection

It’s so obvious I can’t imagine why anyone would be confused.

Canada can just become the 51st state and solve that /s

It’s so semantic it almost reads like a sentence!

And who needs simplicity when you can teach people about advanced shell techniques like command substitution?

Perfection.
