Plus, by the time you find the end, the crew can have moved on.

You could also exploit that to ambush the people trying to follow the cable farther into enemy territory.

Looks pretty neat.

Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I’d love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

I’m not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn’t use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

You could replace “Brave Browser” with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

At least Firefox wasn’t caught hijacking affiliate links.

As someone with two kids who play games on the switch, physical carts keep me from having to buy every game two or three times.

So losing the ability to buy a game and share it between three switches will severely increase the costs of games for me.

Exactly. He’s just looking for a place to stake his little fiefdom where he can circle jerk about how bad Linux is, no matter how incorrect he might be. There’s no implying that Dear Leader is wrong, just stroke or get banned.

It was an unpopular shitpost community.

As a Linux user, I can enjoy memes about real problems with Linux, but his posting went beyond memes and straight into hate boner territory. He once said something about how open source is bad because a company charging money for services creates jobs.

Anything other than circle jerking about ‘Linux bad Windows good’ got you banned.

If you want to fully wipe the disks of any data to start with, you can use a tool like dd to zero the disks. First you need to figure out what your dive is enumerated as, then you wipe it like so:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

From there, you need to decide if you’re going to use them individually or as a pool.

Plus, there’s all the cool stuff Valve has been doing for Linux gaming. All the effort into Proton, the steam deck, etc.

At this point, I’m sticking with Steam to reward them for investing in Linux.

I’m not disagreeing with anything you’ve said?

I’m saying that just adding Mozilla’s PPA to your sources won’t change apt’s behavior when installing Firefox unless you tell apt to prefer the package offered by the Mozilla PPA.

As someone who uses Kubuntu as a daily driver, I’m well aware of the snap drama and have worked around it using the method I pasted above.

Even though it’s an underhanded move by Cannonical, I’m still glad the OS is open source since it makes the workaround so trivial.

It takes a little more than just adding a different repository to your package manager, you have to tell apt which to prefer:

echo ’
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: firefox*
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: -1’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

But that’s how dogwhistles work: they can hide behind a veil of plausible deniability.

And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.

“Stand Back and Stand By” isn’t the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.

‘Bricked’ in this sense meaning not that you’d just trash your OS and need a reinstall, but that it could actually stop your computer from booting at all. So the system32 analogy doesn’t exactly fit.

It’s because some motherboards implement UEFI in a way that allows important variables to be overwritten by I/O processes. Executing sudo rm -rf /* would recursively go into the EFI parameters folder where the kernel mounts EFI variables and attempt to delete things. Some motherboards allowed these delete operations to remove things in the motherboard’s firmware it needs to complete POST, thus rendering the motherboard useless.

But that’s a problem with the motherboard, not with Linux or Windows. The same damage can be caused by Windows.

‘Brigading’ would be if pro-Linux communities were organizing to specifically target another community.

The fediverse is likely to attract the kinds of people interested in Linux in the first place, and all the negative attention that community attracts comes organically.

I talked with the user a bit in Linux_vs_Windows before they were booted from the community, and it’s my opinion that they just have a hate-boner going for Linux. It’s possible to have valid criticism of Linux, but they go way past legitimate and straight into obsession territory. They tend to post in that community daily. So their points aren’t exactly great (though sometimes they hit on a good meme) and they get the points they get naturally.

It’s not a conspiracy, their arguments just tend to be shit.
