I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.

I don’t do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.
Friggin’ finally! I’ll finally be able to remove some of those alternative chat apps I don’t really like.
Only in Europe. For the rest of us, they will make sure to leave in all the enshittification that Makes Windows Worse Again.
I can’t leave fully because job, but I can sure as hell lock them inside a VM.
Microsoft is the abusive partner wondering how many times they have to hit you to make you love them.
The reaction is funny too, because in my experience comparing communities of various distros, Fedora’s community is among the the most inviting and professionally-behaving of them.
Personally, I am not running Fedora at the moment, but probably will when my Framework 16 arrives, since Fedora is officially supported on it. And to be honest, I find that I am making the same choices with Arch as Fedora would have made for me (aside from bootloader), so I feel that I’m wasting a bit of effort.
Gross
These comments really speak to me as someone who is comfortable in Arch but mildly interested in NixOS. The concept seems great, and it seems to work very smoothly when it works. Yet there are always these war stories where people have had to fight the system, to debug some misbehaving hack that is nonetheless required to smash a particular package into the NixOS mould. It is discouraging. The idea I get is that NixOS involves more time doing OS curation chores than does Arch, which already hits the limit of my willingness.
Flakes are another issue. The pre-flakes way seems to be de-facto deprecated, yet the new, flaky way is experimental. I don’t want to waste time learning a doomed paradigm, and I don’t want to depend on anything experimental.
For me, configuration files in git plus btrfs snapshots is just so straightforward. I want to see NixOS as a better way, but I can’t.
I’m a happy Kagi convert, but yeah, this post is indistinguishable from an ad. A disclaimer and perhaps a rationale for posting would have helped.
They recently made that level unlimited. That’s when I became a customer. Before that, I agree, not worth it.
Sounds like 1P handled it about as well as they could, and the attacker didn’t get very far.
I might actually do that.
No, it was to run Teams as a PWA on Linux.
I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.
I recently installed Edge for a technical reason and was instantly grossed out by all the stupid bling they’ve added to it.
I use FDE because my locks are easily pickable. I don’t trust the landlord’s son that lives in the unit above mine. Also the computer is near a big window. Property crime is a popular activity in the area, so the smash-and-grab is a plausible threat. Defence in depth, though, so I still lock the front and interior office doors.
Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase “turds of the firefish”, which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card’s novels.
If the Mac were half as repairable as a Framework and could run Windows VMs without crashing when they run my default tools, I might be interested in one again.
Neither: I am not aware of it.
I own lots of content, because I created it myself.
