Ehhh… Disagree. It allows the scene to linger on the anxiety, which helps the pacing.

If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.

“Did you run the formatter on this?”

Bonus points if it’s python code and nowhere in the docs does it say which of the many formatters to use.

I’ve been using Protonmail and it does the job (although not for free). To use it with Thunderbird I need to use a “bridge” background app to decrypt it though.

I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.

Hasn’t Debian relaxed its stance and now allows you to fairly easily use nonfree software?

Looking at the video they posted, surely the act of navigating and selecting a location via the file save portal should implicitly give permission?

Iirc, that’s something Flatpak allows.

I actually don’t know! It was a meme a while ago, but they might have fixed it by now.

Apple devices make sense - how else are you going to deal with the overheating problems?

People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.

I think Windows has a very poor track record for ui consistency as well. It feels like every Windows app wants to roll its own UI; Firefox, Discord, Steam etc. I know Discord and Steam also have those issues on Linux as well, but it feels like every Windows app wants to roll out it’s own window decorarions and theme.

Honestly, I’m pleased at how consistent most gtk based apps look.

If my /bin contains exe files, something has gone very wrong somewhere…

Also, all these infographics are a sad casualty of the /usr/bin merge.

There’s a package called molly-guard which will check to see if you are connected via ssh when you try to shut it down. If you are, it will ask you for the hostname of the system to make sure you’re shutting down the right one.

Very usefull program to just throw onto servers.

I think user friendly distros (like Mint) are very user friendly if you’re just doing simple things like web browsing or using Steam. Mint (and other distros) have a realy nice software centre that can install a lot of software with a single click from https://flathub.org/ , which removes a lot of headaches that there used to be with installing software.

However, when things go wrong (which they do sometimes because computers are complicated), you may have to troubleshoot and play around with the command line.

… But that’s honestly happened a lot with Windows in my experience as well. Only with less command line and more running esoteric exes.

Honestly, given that most Linux distros are free anyway, you may as well try it out and see if everything works. Worst comes to worst, you find something doesn’t work and end up installing Windows over the top of it.

I have a server that has multiple services running under multiple users that each store data. I want to be able to bundle all this data up and send it to another server for backups.

At a high level, how do I manage permissions for this? Currently I run the backup as root, then chown it to a special backups user which can log in through ssh. But this all feels clunky to me.

I’ve been using Sidebery. Decent little addon for a tab sidebar.

Was before my time, but iirc C and other (then) high level languages were supposedly able to put programmers out of jobs.

Oh wow, in the opening paragraph they say that there’s a huge conspiracy covering up the “truth” behind Cosmic’s reception. And that they are the one voice of reason to enlighten people about The Truth…

My understanding is that at least some WoW players switched to ffxiv, which does seem to be popular and well updated. If you’re looking for a new game, might be worth a look?

I mean, at least I’m not paying $200* for the privilege of being advertised to… I’d like an option to disable it permanently in the popup but it seems mostly reasonable?

^* This is the first price I got for a Windows licence when I searched for it. I know you can probably get them cheaper, but that’s the price they’re advertising, so eh.^
