[Actively using Azure Devops and ServiceNow] oh…
2 days and this post has fewer likes than number of companies that get your data for visiting the Verge. Holy crap, that’s terrifying
I love Heliboard, but this is already giving me much better autocorrect, I’m not finding myself actively avoiding typing from my phone now, so it’s a win to me
Who hurt you that you’re taking all of this as a personal attack?
I pay a small amount monthly to each, I figure instead of paying $5-10 for Netflix or something, I’ll give it instead to these fantastic folks. Most of them are going through some major service, whether that’s Patreon, Paypal, whatever…I already have a credit card with my spending being tracked, I don’t mind if my love for the open source community becomes a documented metric.
Damn…Vimms Lair was my favorite, friggin Nintendo doing what it does best…
I think a lot of younger generation, myself included, prefer casual responses, conflating professionalism with being rude, slimy, or otherwise malintentioned
This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?
Not to be that “aktchually” guy, but Microsoft actually ends up paying OEM’s to ship with Windows, in order to drive costs down to be more affordable than competitors. You can still reimage with Linux, which I know, is an extra step from it shipping with Linux, but in a wild turn of events, we can thank Microsoft for driving down the prices of our to-be-Linux machines ;)
That’s fair, I can’t say I’ve daily-driven it yet since I’ve still got my Kagi sub, but I’m thinking of defaulting it on my work computer to put it through its paces. It’s done fairly well with some of my tests, but definitely seems to still be getting refined, I’ve noticed recent information can be difficult to find on it
If you’ve used Kagi, it has a feature much like “lens” to raise the weight of fediverse results too
Not to be flippant about it, but I just recommend trying it and seeing how it works for you. You can have both Xorg and Wayland installed, you just change out which one you’re using at the login window
No one really talks about it and it’s in its infancy, but I’ve really been enjoying Stract.com
I can talk out my ass, but can’t see through my ass. Common misconception.
Wow, that random news article I hit 16 days ago where the page kept flickering and reloading, but didn’t do that when I copied the URL into Brave… I really should’ve recorded that domain so I could defend myself against some stranger online!
Sarcasm aside, I don’t think it’s generally the major websites that you bump into this with, however, there are many edge cases that occur for plenty of folks, whether they’re in college and have to use that “secure browser” extension that only supports Chrome, or the fact that some websites, especially in business, that simply refuse to support browser and will prevent access otherwise.
I’m a Firefox user, so this isn’t to say that Chromium is the way by any means, but hopefully to shine a little light on the fact that we’re all on different parts of the web with different experiences, questioning their experiences so that you can hopefully find an extension or something to pin the blame them does not absolve them of their experience, just a show of elitism.
Firefox HAS gotten much better, but unfortunately, Capitalism’s gonna Capitalism
Sounds like trading to me
While I agree, most people shouldn’t have to be concerned with it, you can’t deny the resource impacts of various languages, libraries and frameworks, like compare the memory usage of Discord or Teams with those of FOSS chat applications, and you’ll notice those two consistently eating much more memory. You can also compare compute speeds of a higher level language like Python vs lower level languages like Rust and you’ll find that Rust is quite a bit faster (though generally takes more dev time). So yes, users shouldn’t have to be concerned with involved languages, but if you’re running something on a low-resource device, such as a Raspberry Pi, those little details can make all the difference.
I fully expected someone to respond like this, but here’s the thing…
My wife and I moved over to Manjaro when it was the hot new thing and we were new to Linux. She stays on LTS and only updates a couple times a year - and thusly have had no issues at all with it. I’m not about to demand that she let me re-image her computer and undo all of her customizations just because the internet hates Manjaro.
Simple fact is that she’s on Linux and I’m proud of her for being willing to take that step.
I named several other distros including the very ones that you man-splaned to me, don’t get hung up on the one ;)
