I had a 6700k until December just gone. For Linux it can do everything and anything. It’s totally usable! I only gave mine up because of CS2.

I would be the murderer and he would be securing our alibi.

For context I’m a Brit.

I would support a king, if I had a good one. I would hold a man not as equal but as above me, and have him experience and control the country. I would fight and die for that person.

But only if I got something back as an equal. My King should work tirelessly to improve the lives of their subjects.

Their majesty should humble capitalists and oppressors and keep them in check.

King Charles does cut some tape, do some humanitarian PR but frankly it’s clear that people like Bezos run rough shot over him and that’s essentially why I lose my respect.

The browser based apps really don’t feel like alternatives. Scrolling in Excel 365 is particularly painful and it doesn’t seem to have the full range of functions and graph creation tools etc

It’s disgusting and you watch too much porn.

Systemd has more features than old SysV init scripts. Particularly around detecting events and taking actions such as starting firewalls when joining networks, turning on battery tools when unplugged from a charger, starting new services when connected to a dock etc.

The other things it does, it does more reliably than sysV init scripts. It starts services concurrently, provides a profiler to improve start up time, contains much less code, provides better security to tapping into the container features of Linux.

Isn’t there an Old Testament story where someone is walking down the road and gets back-kicked by an ox or something into then sky and is never seen again, presumed gone to heaven?

Unarmed combat + necromancy

I used to play with Linux at college back in 2002 and install the distros on the front of magazines. Eject opens the cd drive but did you know it hangs unless you umount the mount point first? Back in those days everything had to be painfully mounted and unmounted.

ls /dev > /tmp/before

<insert usb>

ls /dev > /tmp/after

<repeat two more times>

diff /tmp/before /tmp/after

<sweating>

You gotta walk your own path.

Most people know exactly what they have to do to obtain a skill, start a business, make a friend, experience and adventure but simply don’t out of fear of the unknown.

The Internet is helpful but you got to put stock in your own lived experience.

This website refreshes every second preventing me from scrolling down in the browser, using Memmy

I don’t think you should proactively “switch to Linux”. Instead you should “play with Linux”, ideally duel boot and a day will come when you can’t remember the last time you used Windows.

Just use Firefox

People hate Linux because shows they aren’t computer experts, they’re just Windows power users.

Yes. Login, Sign up or install the app.

Since we switched to Lemmy I removed the Reddit app and the Apollo app, but did occasionally browse a single subreddit in Firefox mobile app whilst not logged in. Now they’ve totally walled off the whole site. Ridiculous.
