Firefox, the software mainly driven by Mozilla, which is heavily investing in AI and ads ventures? That Firefox?

But, maybe “it will be different this time”, I guess.

I’ve been thinking about keeping a running windows on the side once I switch my “gaming” system. There’s two things that won’t work well (or at all) on Linux: fully PC-tethered wireless SteamVR with my current hardware (HTC Cosmos Elite), and a ripping software.

I might keep a small windows running for VR (although I’m currently looking into trashing the hardware if a good alternative shows up). For the ripping software, I’ll just stitch a script that uses existing open source software to do roughly the same thing.

And I might just get a small box, like a 200something computer with only Steam and the wireless card, to remote play VR through it, if that’s an option.

Bye bye windows.

also the “GUI” for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can’t just jank my way out with printf() from various issues

And that is an issue because…?

xrandr --rate 60. No need to mess with xorg.conf. And you put that on a start script to never have to type it again.

I did not touch an xorg.conf file in forever and it just works out of the box, whether I’m running debian, kubuntu, or mint, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope she’s not sent to a death camp before a court have a chance to say anything, because that’s also a thing that can happen.

vim can’t use the kde/wayland clipboard to copy/past properly, you have to script it through something. I’ve read it’s related to non foreground app not being able to manipulate the clipboard or something close to that, which a CLI app will never be.

There are “solutions”, mostly overriding vim behavior to write/read from that dedicated program, though. It’s not a show stopper, but not every software allow this kind of flexibility.

Still won’t handle popup menu correctly, still won’t allow copy/paste with CLI programs without using an extra, implementation-specific, piece of software, still won’t allow some window to correctly detect their position.

Wayland might be interesting, but between blind haters and blind supporters, it’s really annoying. Forcing people to switch while some basic features are “mostly working” is not helping.

I get the joke, but I’m getting tired of these very, very old memes being reposted ad-nauseam when they’re so outdated. I did not have to open the xorg.conf file for at least a decade, probably more. It was a very annoying thing to do, yes, but hasn’t been an issue for a lot of install in forever.

There’s a resurgence of these “but it’s very weird/difficult/annoying” outdated memes these last few weeks on a lot of websites, and at this point I’m wondering if it’s just people discovering them or just some people bashing linux systems based on their experience from the last century.

Jack Dorsey hasn’t been around for a long time.

Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that’s the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.

I’m not sure if he’ll get unalived with funny prejudice, but if I had to give pointers, don’t aim for the head, it’s unlikely to hit any vital organ in there.

You only see the PR stunts. And probably only the good ones.

Macron’s government to every administration and projects : Keep buying MS Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS, don’t look at all the providers in Europe (and France).

And you’re just gonna ignore all the shortcomings and hope they evaporate, I suppose. Nice plan you got there.

The whole point is that this alone is a risk for the short-medium term that could have been mitigated if not for blind and outdated policies. Look at what a single nuclear power plant could produce continuously, with little variation related to time of day or weather. Saying “we can do without that” today is just foolishness, ignorance, or wilful degradation.

Pikachu O face

You keep seeing these as “alternatives”, despite the shortcomings.

I say they are complimentary, and as far as providing power to address these shortcomings, nuclear power is a good solution. How can you look at something that can single-handedly address all power requirements in some area, while providing supports to other, and say “nah”, seriously.
