  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

    Jump

  • That's how you level up in Linux. You break things, learn what you did wrong and do better next time. Linux won't hold your hand, you can and will shoot yourself in the foot.

    You are doing it right by having backups and playing it safe. You'll be ok.

  • You can feed the pachyderms at the Budapest Zoo

    Jump

  • I laughed.

    I'm also drunk.

    So either the joke is good or I'm easily amused right now. I'd say it's both. Good work.

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • Why should it bother me? It's not like I have Linux corporation stock. I'm just a longtime happy user.

  • What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?

    Jump

  • Right there with you.

    Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?

    Jump

  • I'll bring wine.

  • Linux Antivirus?

    Jump

  • No, thanks.

    I've been using it since about 1995 and the only uses for ClamAV I had were as a mail scanner for a mail server with Windows clients, and as a file scanner for a Samba server with Windows clients.

    If you keep your system up to date, don't install stuff from random sites, and don't run as root all the time, you'll be ok.

  • What Percentage of Salary Is Spent on Renting a One-Bedroom Apartment in European Cities?

    Jump

  • Local politicians seem to be more interested in "unicorn factories" and WebSummit show off events than solving the issues of the people that elected them. Twice. So the voters may not be too bright either.

  • [Question] What's your favorite 'Makes me feel cozy' movie of choice?

    Jump

  • The Big Lebowski.

    But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • Feels like you bought into the MSCE religion of the early 2000's and are annoyed at all the infidels that didn't.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • True, I've experienced that bug.

    The big different is that, depending on how knowledgeable you are, you can either report the bug, you can diagnose it (check the logs, trace and profile the calls), dig in the code, patch it or try a patch someone developed for the bug, or simply ignore it and use a different file browser. That freedom is priceless.

    With Windows you're stuck waiting for the next upgrade that may or may not break something else and brings new and exciting AI and telemetry shoved into it.

  • People who listen to music regularly, how sad would you be if you were permanently deprived of the ability to listen to any music ever again for the rest of your life?

    Jump

  • What's the point of even living like that?

  • Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace

    Jump

  • Nailed it.

  • Whats a band/artist who's music all sounds the same?

    Jump

  • And we like it like that.

  • Whats a band/artist who's music all sounds the same?

  • Also his cousin, Marvin Berry.

  • Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit

    Jump

  • Sometimes you have to allow access to some things outside of the Flatpak container. I use Flatseal for that.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • You're blaming Linux for less than perfect support of a proprietary filesystem that had zero documentation and was painfully reversed engineered by volunteers to a working state so you could say it sucks to have to reformat your precious drives. I'm so sorry you were inconvenienced.

  • Ok, how do you make a good linux media center pc?

    Jump

  • I put Moode in a Raspberry Pi 4 and control it with my phone.

    Think about it, what better remote do you want? You get album covers, lyrics, the works. You can even stream from your phone to the Pi.

  • Valve put up a new Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 with a move towards 64-bit

    Jump

  • I just run Steam as a flatpak. Works fine.

  • Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous

    Jump

  • I'm not looking to be anonymous, I want access to Stargate Atlantis that Amazon Prime is geo blocking from me.

    For that, VPN works as advertised.
