It’s funny, because if the Chinese really did something along those lines it would be interpreted (correctly) as authoritarian abuse.

Yeah, PPAs usually complicate things. IIRC the advice is disabling them before upgrading major versions, but this can be a pain if you use many repositories simultaneously

Something that really improved my life was learn to properly use find, grep, xargs and sed. Besides that, there are these two little ‘hacks’ that are really handy at times…

1- find out which process is using some local port (i.e. the modern netstat replacement):

$ ss -ltnp 'sport = :<port-number>'

2- find out which process is consuming your bandwidth:

$ sudo nethogs

I count myself as one of the lucky ones that isn’t forced to use Windows by the company I work for. We even have our internal (ubuntu-based) distro, and despite being passable proficient with Linux, I can count on having support if I ever need it.

That’s all fine and dandy but at work I am forced to use Windows, Office, Teams, and all that.

Yeah, me too. But all of those (except Windows of course) can be used on the browser

I always broke it before long, but that is the Ubuntu curse

There is a Mint based on pure Debian if you think the Ubuntu-based one is “too fragile” as you put it. You actually made me curious in how you keep breaking Mint, I’ve been using it for several years, incrementally upgrading it since 2021 with little to no breakage at all.

You don’t need guns to make a revolution

well then, show us any revolution that didn’t used guns to be accomplished

🤷‍♂️

Together, we can save Crunchyroll from itself!

Sorry, we can’t. Enshittification is a one-way road. I’ve cancelled my subscription earlier this year, but this won’t really help either.

I don’t know if I agree. Poe’s law aside, we’re talking about this in a memes community, which means a lot of what is said here is tongue-in-cheek. Context matters, right?

I just don’t get how saying a statement you believe is wrong without any indication of it as a joke.

Friend, have you ever heard about irony?

I don’t know, but if any exists you might as well find it in phoronix itself

Phoronix did some benchmarks contrasting stock amd64 vs. amd64v3. Not really impressive right now, but who knows if things will improve later on

cool joystick

not counting systems that use the Linux kernel but aren’t considered a traditional GNU+Linux desktop.

Does that mean you don’t count Alpine towards Linux market share? It mostly doesn’t use any GNU stuff.

not OP, but my guess is that he was referring to android

But several people also noted that the games industry goes through cycles of mass layoffs, because simply having a stable business isn’t enough for investors. Revenues must grow by a chunky margin: if they don’t, costs must be cut. Embracer’s mishandling of their business might be grotesque, but it’s business as usual nonetheless. “We make a shitload of money, but it doesn’t go back into the games,” one person commented. “It goes into a lot of now very wealthy peoples’ pockets, and the people who actually make the games kind of scrape by, most of the time.”

late stage capitalism

understood, thanks

didn’t knew that… why it happens?

/dev/nvme0n1p3 shows up mounted twice, that’s kinda strange

intereresting read, thank you

enlighten us plebs with your wisdom and tell us which conclusion should be drawn then
