uwu owo etc., you know...

  • I guess he just wanna links

  • what's the problem using RST with Linux?

    Just asking, my old laptop too has RST, but no problems with Linux. (Granted, the manufacturer's website states I should install only 8GBs of RAM max and once I used 16GB in it, and had some strange... memory related issues sometimes... with 12, there's no problem. Tho this wasn't a Linux problem, my laptop just hanged after booting into anything. (Linux, Windows, memtest, anything, really))

  • I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can't give you any meaningful inputs...

    I don't know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.

    But I'm no expert.

    It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.

  • Watership Down

  • Deez beans :3

  • unless your storage is a floppy disk, won't be a problem

  • oh yeah, now one can accidentally close the Start menu by clicking in the gap between the panels.

  • Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, this is broken, too. But around 40 taps later, it works once or twice.

  • Nah, bro 500 pounds is INSANE. I can get a nice v1 Switch used around 150-200 pound where I live and usually consoles, especially Nintendo here are expensive, even second-hand, so you may really reconsider this pricetag.

    Also, being a v1 Switch isn't a too extravagant thing nowadays since all of the Switches can be hacked with a Raspberry Pi Pico board variant that is around 3 bucks each.

  • Back then as a kid I always wondered that how the hell would Windows Commander/Total Commander's Connection between two PC with USB cable feature work and what cable would it need... (never saw A to A cables at that point)

    The help file was about some special cable, but the photo had an A-A cable on it with some extra circuits in a plastic casing near the connectors. I was amazed and sad at the same time, since I would never had such a cable, and I really wanted to try hook up two PCs with USB, that just sounded nasty for some reason 😅

  • Debian is nice.

  • it was common amongst digital cameras in the early 2000's.

    and maybe you could somehow link up two computers as well...? tho that could have been some specialized cables

  • Nah, the continent is OK, but a bit more to the east

  • I just pronounce them as I should do in my native language.

    ZSH: zé-es-há /zeːɛʃhaː/

    SSH: es-es-há /ɛʃɛʃhaː/

    sudo: sudó /ʃudoː/ (with ʃ(sh) and long o at the end - this is a rule in my language, every o at the end of a word must be long, with two exceptions)

    I say them like this (in my head) even if I read english text.

  • The site you linked ia broken in this manner for me, too.

    As for the pi-hole - no, nothing like that. I have some extensions and Firefox's blocking set to strict mode, but they don't matter.

  • Because Mozilla promised us privacy, and “privacy-friendly” ad tracking is still worse privacy than not baking ad tracking into the browser in the first place.

    I don't think "privacy" works in a way you snap your fingers, and bam, you have privacy, without any progress or stations in your way. Especially in today's web. Also, it's not just on Mozilla. On the contrary. I feel like Mozilla is the only "bigger name" in this market who tries to navigate in this shitstormy sea that is the web now.

    Tho, it's just me, but it sounds much better if my browser handles all the tracking and data sharing business in a controlled manner with advertisers in a "privacy-friendly" way than no control overall (especially since it's Firefox and not Chrome/Edge), hoping only the other side would respect my preferences and requests.

    But in the end, as I read other comments here, the problem is just the default state of the checkbox, got it. Feels a bit silly - in this particular case - but I can understand it.

  • I understand this, thanks. But still feels way too overreacted. But now, that's just what I think about this.

  • Peoples are mostly angry at the fact that they just silently slipped this system in without asking for consent.

    But why? Does it expose more data? More sensitive data than before?

    What I don't get, but maybe because of the lack of information I have on the topic is that if it's better in terms of data privacy than before, or is it better if it's turned on than off, why is it such a great problem, if it's turned on by default? In this case, not turning it on would be something that one should be noted. Any technical, real-world reasons why not giving my consent to enable this feature gives reason to get mad, or is this really just about "not having a choice", regardless the outcome?

  • If I understand all this correctly, Mozilla teamed up with Meta to create a method that helps advertisers in a user privacy-friendly way. Aside from the initial trigger people have here reading the word "Meta" or by just the existence of ads, is there any problematic with this, without going really deep into tinfoil hat territory?

    Also, am I understanding it correctly that the outrage is mainly because this feature is enabled by default? So again, a function that helps protecting your privacy, is enabled by default? Because, it seems most people just offended by only this fact alone.

    But I'm maybe missing something here.
