  • Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

    Jump

  • Depends on your definition of "old", I guess. 6.8 is considered "current", 6.14 and 6.17 are available on the list. So far, hardware support on 6.8 has covered everything I've thrown at it.

  • Pete Hegseth says he didn't see survivors in the September boat strike because of 'the fog of war'

    Jump

  • It's not a LITERAL fog, you warthog-faced buffoon.

  • Elon Musk demands Trump send US troops to San Francisco for war on drugs: ‘It’s the only solution’

    Jump

  • "We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"

  • Player Logic

    Jump

  • Because you always get attacked by cultists or assassins in the middle of the night if you stay at an inn.

    Or maybe that's just a Warhammer FRPG thing?

  • Prodigy is excellent.

  • What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?

    Jump

  • Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.

  • What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?

    Jump

  • I'll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn't support it, etc.

  • RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA 'Very, Very Quickly'

    Jump

  • True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this...as long as you're not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.

    Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a "wish" instead of a concrete proposal.

  • RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA 'Very, Very Quickly'

    Jump

  • I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from "limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people" up to "lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe". Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.

  • No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.

  • The difference between programmers and testers

    Jump

  • Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.

  • The Words Federal Agencies Are Removing From Their Sites Under Trump

    Jump

  • If I worked there, I'd be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of "DEI" it would become "DẸI".

    "No sir, 'DEI' isn't anywhere on site."

  • 85% of Greenlanders say no to joining USA in new poll

    Jump

  • 15% are dumb or misunderstood the question at this point.

  • Alright you nerds, I made the jump to Linux.

    Jump

  • I'll have to take a look at Warpinator. Had been just doing SCP to the new machine, I'll check it out.

  • Alright you nerds, I made the jump to Linux.

    Jump

  • Same, but I was running an i5-6600K, 16GB RAM, and a 6800XT. Replaced with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vraylle/saved/YWC66h

    Right now I'm still setting it up for work, so the tooling I'm replacing is dev-related (Remmina instead of mRemoteNG, NetPad instead of LinqPad, etc.).

    Also grabbed InputLeap to share the same keyboard/mouse between old and new PC while I do this, and set up a local SSH server on the new so I could just SCP files directly to it over local network instead of popping USBs....

    Been a lot of work but disturbingly fun.

  • Alright you nerds, I made the jump to Linux.

    Jump

  • I've been running Mint about a week now, same story and similar hardware. I came from substantially older hardware than you did.

    As I understand it, Mint started using a much better kernel with version 22, so hardware support so far has been perfect.

    Also having a great experience so far. Biggest challenge has been finding replacements for done utilities but I've had good luck there too so far.

  • Trump sides with Musk on support for H-1B visas for foreign tech workers

    Jump

  • Tech has always preferred H1B workers, since they can't simply leave the job they were hired for and are effectively in indentured servitude.

  • Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness.

    Jump

  • It's because oil is a global market and exports are more profitable than keeping it here for some types of oil.

    (Side note for those that don't know: the President has the authority to instantly ban all oil exports at any time)
