  • I think there might be around 10 people in the whole world that has ever bought WinRAR. The rest of us just kept closing the nag box and used the free trial indefinitely.

  • I also have a dusty environment where I work and wash my work clothes with my underwear in 60 degrees Celsius and my casual wear I wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Then I only need to do two machines. One 60 and one 40 degrees

  • xAI silent after Grok sexualized images of kids; dril mocks Grok’s “apology”

    Jump

  • Yes I know that it doesn't "know" anything, but where did it get that training data and why does it have CSAM training data? Or does it just generate regular porn and add a kid face?

    Jump

  • Is no one going to question HOW and WHY Grok knows how to generate CSAM?

    This is fucking disgusting and both the user and X should be held accountable.

  • YSK Tempur Mattresses fail quickly and the warranty is fake

    Jump

  • Now that you mention it, it's time for me to rotate my mattress.

  • YSK Tempur Mattresses fail quickly and the warranty is fake

    Jump

  • I also have a Tempur bed with mattress and it's still going strong. Before I got it (maybe 4-5 years ago?) my dad owned it for maybe 10 years.

    The only problem with it is that my stepmom didn't like it and that's why I bought it from them. And right now my current girlfriend doesn't like it... But she doesn't live with me and I still like the bed.

  • In 2012 they had no mention of Kubuntu or KDE on the official Ubuntu homepage and downloads page. Same for the Canonical website. I checked both in April and October of 2012 on the Wayback Machine.

  • Do you seriously expect new users to keep up with Ubuntu blogs, news sites and stuff like that? New users don't even know what a flavor is. New users are not that involved in the eco system. Just because you have seen it that doesn't mean it's widely known.

    This right here is one of the problems with old Linux users trying to recruit new users.

    Jump

  • Sure, but it hasn't been well promoted by the community or by Canonical. Otherwise I would have seen it a long time ago.

  • That why they shouldn't be recommended anything that has to do with GNOME. Just give them anything that closely resembles Windows.

    I installed Linux Mint on my mom's old laptop and on my stepmother's aunt's laptop as well. I have had 0 support calls since then! As you say, all they want to do is browse the web.

  • I am convinced that Ubuntu/GNOME is the main reason that Linux onboarding has taken so long and has been so slow.

    I never knew KDE Plasma and other Windows-like desktop environments existed until Valve released the Steam Deck.

  • I love choice. I hate choosing.

    Jump

  • If someone were to recommend me a distro with the GNOME desktop environment then I would not be a Linux for long. GNOME is weird and confusing. I am convinced that KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, LXDE and other more Windows-like desktops is better for a new Linux user. If they want an alternative desktop environment they can seek it out themselves.

  • Sweden turns retired wind turbine blades into a striking multi-story parking garage - Cleantech Times

    Jump

  • We pay our taxes and have a good welfare system. That does not mean that everyone here is rich. It means that we have a functioning government that gives a shit about its people.

    And what do you know about how we transit? We use our trains, we use our public transport, we use bikes, we walk. Sometimes driving a car is required. Our country is long and not everything is located within walking distance.

    Many people here care about our planet and its future and we try to act accordingly. One way we do it is focusing on renewable energy and we also try to replace fossil fuels in cars with better options.

    Removing cars from existence is not the solution you think it is and it's not realistic to think it will ever happen. What we need is environmentaly friendly cars.

  • Contract for self-hosting help

    Jump

  • I will just copy and paste an old comment I made about self-hosting. I hope it helps in some way!

    I got started self-hosting using a small Lenovo Thinkcentre and an HP EliteDesk. Both are available to purchase for around 100 dollars on ebay. I have installed Proxmox on both of them. Proxmox is an operating system built on Debian Linux and is used to host containers and virtual machines. It has a great WebGUI to access the server.

    Using Proxmox I have set up a Pelican container for game servers hosting, I run my own personal wiki, I have PiHole, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf and a lot more.

    To access your things out of home you can use a VPN to connect to your own network or open ports in your router. I only had to open port 80 and 443 to expose my reverse proxy to the internet and then I use the reverse proxy to route the traffic internally to the correct port and project. I also purchases a domain name and now I can use jellyfin.mydomain.com or wiki.mydomain.com or whatever.mydomain.com to access each project I self-host. It's very convenient!

    Trying new projects is super easy and if you want to remove something then just delete the container. No old leftovers will stay on the host system. There are also community scripts available to make hosting even easier. It will install and configure the containers for you.
