  • You could replace "Brave Browser" with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

    At least Firefox wasn't caught hijacking affiliate links.

  • Which game is it?

  • Can confirm. It's the only game I play at this point.

    Finally got to Fulgora. I want that mech suit.

  • Compensating people who are wrongfully convicted is a hard sell in some states

    Jump

  • Depriving someone of years of their life isn't a trivial thing. If someone was wrongfully convicted of a crime, the time they spend in jail is time that they could have been spending making a career, saving for retirement, building equity, etc. The things people do to prepare for retirement.

    Should we just say "oops, our bad, no hard feelings right?" and just leave them to be homeless?

  • 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.

  • Why the Epic Games Store was hated during it's early existence?

  • 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.

  • Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?

    Jump

  • 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.orgPin-Priority: 1000

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

  • Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

    Jump

  • Biden never had enough control of the whole government to get those things done without Republican buy-in.

    A Republican controlled house won't send a bill like that to the Senate. A Republican controlled Senate won't send it to the President.

    You can be upset at Biden, but we've rarely ever given a Democratic president a Democratic Congress to help him get anything done.

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

  • They’re both about the same in terms of privacy so that’s quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.

    As someone who has used Linux as their primary desktop OS for about 7 years now, you don't have to tell me that Windows sucks.

    Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don’t have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.

    I don't use any accounts for my OS at all.

  • Apple making a proprietary pinout for NVME is what will keep me from ever giving them money.

    https://assistenciaapplebrasilia.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Apple-Propietary-SSD.png

    It's not like Apple uses a different controller, or that they invented a different communication standard. They just put the same communication pins from the same controller on a different physical connector, and charge you 10x for the replacement part. It's why boards like this can work at all:

    If Apple wasn't using standard NVMe controller communication protocols and controllers, these adapter boards wouldn't work at all.

  • The only thing that makes Apple marginally better is that the company spying on you tries to pretend like they're not in it for your sweet data.

    They might not be selling it right now, but only because they keep making money hand over fist from the non-repairable proprietary bullshit they produce. Once that faucet starts to slow down, you better believe they'll be the next Google.

  • Lol, they locked all the posts for the community

  • '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.
