I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

Photography advice threads: “zoom with your feet!”

Scientists: “…ok.”

A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

That attack surface is not vanishing. It’s would be relocating the same attack surface to something that might have an xz library in memory.

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

I’m now weirdly self-aware of how often I say that. It is probably better if I don’t meet your friend.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I’d love to see a robots.txt do a couple safe listings, then a zip bomb, then a safe listing. It would be fun to see how many log entries from an IP look like get a, get b, get zip bomb… no more requests.

A Universal Blue derivative and rollback if there’s an issue is LTS enough for me.

For an LTS LTS, I’d be looking at Alma or Debian.

What is “way” out of date, in your mind? I thought all LTSes were on kernel version 5-something at the moment.

I like this distro a lot and want to learn about it. I’m actually using Bazzite rn.

But this format isn’t really grabbing me. It is actually kinda killing me inside. Like being at work peer programming when the other person has control of the inputs.

Incorrectly assuming something is a date

Have you been able to just drop Libreboot on whatever or do you specifically buy hardware that you know supports it? I wish to use Libreboot.

Nothing is overlaid directly on top of the content.

They will record it and upload it at your next service.

Oh, yep, that’s shady and bad behavior. Thank you.

FYI my understanding is that Incus is forked from LXD, because nobody trusts Canonical any longer. I don’t think LXD itself is them doing the thing that makes them untrustworthy.

You might be referring to something they have done since then, apologies if I misunderstood. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to make it a Snap or force Snaps into it.

It is absolutely a different situation if it is opt-in. If Ubuntu made Snaps opt-in, people might not like them but it’d be a minor critique instead of fleeing the distro.

I don’t think I would argue against this law, IDK. It’s just a slap in the face to see they recognize how dangerous the thing is.

We always knew they would do nothing to legislate misinformation, bigotry, and electioneering on the US-based platforms. But now we know for a fact that they understand these platforms are weaponized against the public.

It is the same worse. Billionaires do not have an allegiance to the well-being of any nation’s citizens. What is a foreign state going to brainwash us with that could possibly be worse than the existing gamer-to-far-right-radical pipeline?
