I guess it is different reasons for different people. But for me, I started using ubuntu in 2005. When I was learning linux, it was just not complete enough. You install another DE/WM, to try it out, and stuff started to break. So I switched pretty quickly. I tried to return every now and then, because it had an environment of newer packages which I waned/needed. But it was never worth it, this or that always broke when you tried to do something peculiar. I use ubuntu every now and then, but it is mostly no good. The issue is really just snap. Snap firefox on rpi, which is the default, is just trash and unusable. It is crazy that they made it the default. I have also had servers where snap-services just eats too much cpu and first thing I have to do is to purge it. So, in summary, I don’t really trust them to provide a reliable system, and I am sceptical of their direction.

That screenshot is from another site. An account named longpanda has also appeared on lemmy and had their post/replies removed because of impersonation suspicions.

I think it is wise to take extra care on this issue on what you read and trust.

Not sure what Disk Manager is, but if it says

USB Mass Storage device detected

It appears to be something. If you do a sudo journalctl -f before you plug it in, does it tell you what device name it is given? If it is sata-to-usb you are using it is probably /dev/sd[a-z] or so, does anyone show up when you plug it in?

EU seems to be like “you ASKED edge to be the default browser? This is unimaginable anti-competative behaviour!” towards windows, and then all like “you do you, apple, we good”.

I recently got some Toshibas and they were loud. They also presented with a seek error pre-fail after a few days (all three of them). That propably adds to the volume, but the seagate and wds I switched to just have some clicking noises. Not too bad.

When you really have to look deep into god’s mind you just have to put templeOS on a supercomputer.

Oh, it is part of the Tor project even. Cool. Thanks. I will read the links.

How does this work? I thought WebRTC is UDP and Tor is over TCP. I don’t really know what I’m talking about here, but I’d like to know some details.

tell me how can I feel pain

Wait, this is just a post here on lemmy, not a reply in the issue thread? Or am I just not finding it? You should probably have this discussion in the github issue too.

“Some” appears to be 3. How many are left?

At least for sweden they appear to have shipping options with taxes/duty included. I don’t have in front of me right now, but it was something like 200€ all inclusive shipping on a 500€ order. Something like that.

I have noticed this too, I have to press the ‘back’ button on the remote to get the computer output.

Analysts using Julia and Mathematica are confused by this meme.

I’m running PopOS on a computer for wathing media at home. I’m not too impressed. I read a bunch of comment threads recommening it so I treid it out. They seem a bit unstable – that at least falls in OP middle ground. I made an update and dpms management was just different, like the screen is no longer turning itself off. I’ve had some thing like this happen on it. It’s not breakage, it’s a bit annoying. “Just works”? Eh, sure, kinda’.

Oh, wow. Just ordered a new computer. I guess it have to include some more disks!

What does it mean to “open up” an operating system in this context? Do they mean something like the possibility to intall other OSes on their devices, or that the app stores needs to be more open? I’m guessing it does not mean they have to start open source:ing parts of the OS… or?

Not the person you were replying to, and don’t understand exactly what you mean with port and device id. But if it changes every time, -ish, you plug it in, do you mean like /dev/sdX device names? If so, then maybe look at /dev/disk/by-TYPE/ and use those instead? You have stuff there which is the same each time you plug in.

I have been forced to use mac now for like a year, and I don’t get the whole “just works” opinion of it. Like I have had so many issues with just basic stuff. Turning off mouse acceleration and the mouse still feels all slimy. Highest mouse speed is so slow and setting it higher requires some crazy tricks, which also does not work consistently through boots. It can’t wake up a lot of monitors, I have to turn them off and on manually. If it cannot connect to a monitor properly but tries, it like disables your keyboard for a few seconds while trying. Some items in the settings menu take a long time to load, as in if I reboot, log in, open settings, there is no mouse settings.

There is a video linked in the article for context:

If I try to interpret the context, it could be C programmers just being negative to Rust because it is not C, that there is a conception of Rust programmers trying to enforce Rust on others, or that Rust programmers will break things.
