  • Nephele WebDAV Server now supports deduplicated file storage.

    Jump

  • Ah that makes much more sense. I think I crossed my wires. You mentioned backing up the Minecraft worlds and so I thought "deduplicated backups... so borg."

    I appreciate your explanation.

  • Is there a link?

    Also, how does this compare to something like Borg?

  • why do I get this message to upgrade to ubuntu pro after sudo apt upgrade?

  • Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It's no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

    Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

    Examples that immediately come to mind...

    • When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
    • These sorts of self promotions.
    • Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

  • Multi-day DDoS storm batters Internet Archive. Think this is bad? See what Big Media wants to do to us, warns founder

    Jump

  • Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don't want us to have nice things.

  • The Mac vs. PC war is back on?

    Jump

  • For those who unfortunately have to use Windows laptops for work, there is a workaround. Unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep/hibernate. That's it. Super irritating they won't fix it, but not surprising, too busy trying to shove (more) ads into the start menu.

  • After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail

    Jump

  • Anyone know why they were protesting? The article sure doesn't care to say.

    Which, by avoiding such a key piece of information, makes this come off as more of a warning to the general population than news. If you're going to protest something, we are going to beat you, deny you food and water, put you in solitary confinement, inhumane living conditions, and generally behave so despicably that we must ensure we keep the cameras away so they can't report on our behavior.

    Land of the free, yay. /s

  • KDE keeps bugging out.

    Jump

  • I had similar issues. When first booting into plasma6, my bottom panel was changed to floating. Changing it to not float made it spaced from the bottom of the screen.

    While trying to fix that, I somehow managed to move the pinned icons all off the panel and onto the desktop, but they were unable to be clicked or moved. I ended up restarting for unrelated reasons and they snapped back to the panel.

    I think there were other wonky issues with the edit session, but I don't recall specifics. Good luck!

    Edit: this was on a wayland session with integrated amd graphics.

  • New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)

    Jump

  • Their CEO has gone out of his way to shit talk Linux multiple times on Twitter/X, spreading false information, he is also vehemently against doing the bare minimum to allow their games to work on Linux (enabling EAC support for proton in their games, which by their own words is just a checkbox). They also have no Linux support in their embarrassment of a launcher, which is why everyone recommends Heroic, even when using Windows because it actually has features.

    A one time donation of what amounts to an insignificant rounding error for them to try to appease people unhappy with their stance on Linux does not mean they are not "against" Linux.

  • Reddit now won't let non-logged in users see subreddits until they've been "reviewed"

    Jump

  • Some of that seems unnecessary (device boot time). But it's not all scary spooky tracking. Some permissions/information is required for certain features.

    For example, you can't rotate your app UI if you're not allowed to know screen orientation. Or maybe they do a low power mode if device battery is low, or a warning that the app might not function well if the OS or device is old.

    Not saying you're wrong or that Discord is right. Just pointing out that a long list of permissions isn't on its own a bad thing, if those permissions are required for specific features, and not just for the sake of data harvesting.
