Same experience with my relatives. I had some family whose Macbooks were no longer able to update (for Apple forced obsolescence reasons). They run Mint now, and have never had a single problem since I first set them up.
Well, one of them called me because they couldn’t figure out how to attach a file to an email… But that problem would have been identical on Mac OS.
Lettuce thing?
Barbed wire gardens. Painful to get in, painful to get out.
E x a c t l y! On Windows/Mac, you’re less inclined to be charitable, because most of the time you’re facing down artificially-imposed limitations on how you can interact with your own machine. They seem to say “You’re too dumb to be allowed to mess with that,” which is a tolerable slight if it Just Works every time… But when it doesn’t, ohhh boy…
I think they dissed “corporate cities,” which I interpreted as related to company towns, like the so-called Foxconn City or iPhone City in China. Not cities in general.
Some suburbs are nice, too.
Ah but you see, you need the blockchain version in order to be, uh… [checks notes] computationally intensive and bad for the environment…?
Oh nice-- Maybe those would be better recommendation for this purpose, then. I love Resolve, but I wouldn’t want to tell a new Linux user “It doesn’t work on your distro, but you can MAKE it work if you are computers enough.”
Good 👍 I’m glad that works for people. I had alot of trouble getting Resolve to run on Mint.
Last time I checked, Davinci Resolve (which is fantastic, btw) is only officially supported on CentOS for some reason. There are guides/scripts that allege to make it work on other distros, but I had zero luck with them on Mint when I tried like a year ago.
Pretty good idea! Yeah, maybe the half duplex codec can connect with a weaker signal.
Or something. I don’t know that much about the protocol.
Depending on what skills you have for the “set it up” part, it seems like it’d be pretty straightforward to throw a script around Speedtest CLI to do that. I guess LibreSpeed has a CLI version too.
Cool! Thanks for chiming in :)
Opt-in is only meaningful if users can make an informed decision. I think explaining a system like PPA would be a difficult task. And most users complain a lot about these types of interruption.
In my opinion an easily discoverable opt-out option + blog posts and such were the right decision.
So you see, because the users can’t meaningfully give informed consent, their consent is therefore uh… [checks notes] not necessary.
Bullshit. Everyone knows that it’s because if you actually ask someone “do you want to be creepy tracked, less-creepy tracked, or not tracked?” they’ll pick “not” every time.
Okay but can you please explain how it is not for sits, given that it is unequivocally made of warm?
Those questions/claims are really interesting as like… A way to teach children how to think about scale and approximation and stuff.
Adults holding those beliefs both a) sincerely and b) defensively though… Less cute.
Not sure if pleased or screaming 🤔
This meme is about net neutrality.
Big yike 😬 Anyone find a decent way around THAT yet? How do they even know that you’re on a VPN? Is it like… they maintain a list of known VPN exit node IPs?
Does old.reddit.com still work to get around it?
+1 for “it’s unusably slow!”
I tried this last year with Linux Mint, and I learned that a normal USB drive just doesn’t have the read/write speed to even e.g. operate Firefox smoothly. There are different ways to address that, none of which really did the trick for me, so the best bet is to just get a drive with the fastest read/write rate possible. I’ve heard that it can run tolerably well on one of those more performant drives, but I didn’t try it myself.
