  • Why not? Collaborative editing is extremely useful. I've done it at work, with friends, and with my gf.

    There's no reason the government couldn't own its providers via NextCloud or something.

    EDIT: I guess the big, mean old collaborative editing features are out to get us and take away our freedoms and steal our puppies. Collab editing must be Satan's work and there's no way any moral person should find it helpful.

  • Best 8 euros I've spent for a game

    Jump

  • If you want any advice to help in combat, I'm happy to give you a breadcrumb. I knew I'd love playing that game within minutes of watching a friend play it. I've put countless hours in and can't wait for my next playthrough.

  • I'd recommend the first be played first, but I also think that if you instead play the second first and you love it, you can then go back and play the first.

    The story unravels a bit smoother from 1 to 2 than in reverse.

    Both are great games on their own.

    Pssst, I got the stuff

  • I think toilet paper is better suited for wiping one's ass, and flushes better, but this will do in a pinch

  • Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?

    Jump

  • A big benefit of encryption is that if your stuff is stolen, it adds a lot of time for you to change passwords and invalidate any signed in accounts, email credentials, login sessions, etc.

    This is true even if a sophisticated person steals the computer. If you leave it wide open then they can go right in and copy your cookies, logins, and passwords way faster. But if it's encrypted, they need to plug your drive into their system and try to crack your stuff, which takes decent time to set up. And the cracking itself, even if it takes only hours, would be even more time you can use to secure your online accounts.

    On Linux, my installs always had a checkbox plus a password form for the encryption.

  • Around 66 accounts in Path of Exile 2 were compromised, due to a one-two punch of an old unused Steam account and a backend bug

    Jump

  • 66 accounts at a minimum. Possibly more

  • I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?

    Jump

  • If distro hopping happens more than once a week, please stop hopping immediately and dial 911 as this is the sign of a very rare and serious symptom

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?

    Jump

  • You're right. I can't recall the other utility's name. System Monitor is fantastic, but I just wish I could set the niceness and all that like you could on the old utility.

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?

    Jump

  • Well KDE had this awesome process management tool, I think it was called System Monitor or something. You could tune process priorities with IO and CPU. They deprecated the tool though, I think because nobody wanted to port it to QT6

    EDIT: It's not System Monitor. I can't recall the name, but there used to be an app that let you set niceness / priorities of your processes.

  • So they can eat a snake? I wonder if they have special adaptations for being bitten by or eating a venomous snake

  • Samsung Galaxy devices are getting call recording in the US with One UI 7

    Jump

  • I tried the one on the play store

  • Recommendations for mobile Linux desktop environments that run well on an x86 tablet?

    Jump

  • Should be plenty fast enough to handle Gnome or KDE. I think you'll also want ZRAM because presumably your RAM won't be much and your storage will either be slow or limited. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to enable.

    I think both DEs are very touchscreen viable, with the possibility that you may have to configure a teeny bit, like adding a virtual keyboard

  • Samsung Galaxy devices are getting call recording in the US with One UI 7

    Jump

  • God I want call screening like Google has it. If I don't have the number in my history or contacts, just quietly screen the call, hang up if it's a scam and buzz me if they reply and are not obviously a scam.

    This is what Pixel phones can do. Samsung has the screening thing but it's manual and it's not nearly as good

  • [Quantum] Computing just changed forever… but there’s a catch (from Fireship) [4:59]

  • QC in tech and in business is generally ubiquitous to mean quality control though

  • Get Certified for Less With The Linux Foundation's Cyber Monday Offer [60% Off]

    Jump

  • Well, in tech, if you have experience, that tends to be the biggest deal by far and can often do all the lifting on its own. But hiring managers also appreciate certs and formal education, especially if you don't yet have much experience.

    It would likely give you an advantage Vs some other person they're considering with your level of experience.

  • Terraria's next update is delayed because dev will "not force anyone to crunch for an arbitrary deadline"

    Jump

  • There's always a new 9 year old, 11 year old etc. and always a new gamer of any age, who hasn't ever bought the game. Same with No Man's Sky and Minecraft.

    You'd likely make way more if you separate games and DLC, but some companies seem to be fine sticking with just the one. You will still make money as you keep adding things to your evergreen game

  • Firefox introduces AI as experimental feature

    Jump

  • It seems like common cynicism. Mozilla adds this feature, as not to yield major features to other browsers. Mozilla's lets you natively have lots of different AI solutions to pick from.

    Not every feature is for everyone. Not every feature is done being improved on at release.

    And in spite of popular opinions, organizations don't do just one thing and then do just the next thing and the thing after that. Organizations can and do focus on and prioritize many things at the same time.

    And for people who are naysaying AI at every mention, it has a lot of great and fascinating uses, and if you think otherwise, you really should try them more. I've used it plenty for work and life. It's not going away, might as well do some nice things with it.

  • Yeah they could have a full bar with it being two-tierred
