  • In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?

    Jump

  • I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously... the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

  • The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about "disrupting the market" it's actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

  • VirtualBox has been packaged as a Flatpak

  • The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it's more apt to say this is "virtualbox-ui"

  • Why Circular AI Deals Among OpenAI, Nvidia, AMD Are Raising Eyebrows

    Jump

  • It looks like the circle that is forming over the AI industry is going to soon turn into a spiral that collapses into the center i.e. NVIDIA.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

  • You're ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn't so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.

    There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.

    This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn't as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.

  • Thinking I could clean up my files in a SIGINT handler

    Jump

  • Oops yeah you're right. Sorry OP. There's nothing better than using a database that flushes to disk often enough that missing a small chunk of data due to interruptions should be fine. Probably some kind of memory mapped IO on top of eager writing filesystem should do a good enough job.

  • Thinking I could clean up my files in a SIGINT handler

    Jump

  • I thought someone here had mentioned that the environment and user executing the script at startup and you running the script might have differences. The reason it would have worked with systemd might be that the environment was loaded correctly?

  • I Don't See a Reason to Switch to Windows from Linux Anymore in 2025

    Jump

  • People who come here to say Linux is not good or that this community is an echo chamber and get mad for pointing out obvious flaws in the OS miss two things:

    1. The post is an opinion of someone. Notice the "I" in the title? That should give you some clue.
    2. You are offended when people suggest that you learn and adapt to the OS, but you suggest that Linux should support your workflow without any effort on your part to learn the OS. Which is hypocritical to say the least.

  • Extend success of UK sugar tax to cakes, biscuits and chocolate, experts urge

  • Blame the companies who don't want to do anything that impacts their growth

    if you asked me what we as a species messed up in, I would immediately point out how we should never have incentivized greed and lack of morals that Capitalism encourages.
