Oh that’s what happened to RieserFS

Same. But I still keep critical paper work in a fireproof safe, just in case.

Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.

Gold. Pure Gold.

Hahaha, fair point.

I dont usually upvote posts about Reddit…

Not to mention the patch being applied was being applied at boot, so rollback > patch > crash; repeat

Captain Who’s Your Daddy?

Wait, I am?

Commander Father is pretty solid.

Sounds like we need a meme with anti-dads now.

Capitaine Papa

I hear what you’re saying here, but the parallel doesn’t work. People were dying of stage 4 lung cancer for years before they finally put warning labels on the product.

Unfortunately, people like this are going to have to keep saying it over and over until the message takes hold. It will take years.

For those who prefer a TOS vibe, allow me to beam up the bass.

I will have to take a look at Reaper!

In Windows 11 Microsoft made it quite clear, you are the testers. Updates are forced on home users, not corps. Corps get the updates after home users get them all force pushed and field test them.

I have not dove into yabridge yet. What DAW did you go with?

After poking around I decided to go with Bitwig and skip trying to go with getting Ableton working with Proton or Wine. I’ve actually been enjoying some of their default VSTs as I practice my piano again, but I do miss my paid VSTs a lot.

Have been really looking around at the vsts that have native Linux support though. Was really glad to see of u-he’s VSTs worked natively.

Windows XP. I worked MSN tech support the year Blaster hit. I remember droning through the same repair steps every 15 minutes with caller after caller in a neverending stream that lasted for weeks.

After a couple of weeks of this, my coworkers and I had a weekend off together and we planned to party it up and blow off some steam with a LAN Party with Freelancer and beers. I had my comp all prepped and ready, it was freshly reinstalled and the game had been tested and benchmarked.

I came home from a long shift to find the one of the new Blaster variants, which used a new vulnerability that had not been patched until I had been at work that day. It had triggered so many reboots while I was at work it triggered NTFS corruption somehow. I had to reinstall… And I had done nothing to deserve that.

That virus fucking broke me. I went to work after that weekend and went to the Linux guru in Tier 3, and said “Teach me”.

I have never looked back with the exception of having to install it for a specific reason, and I’m usually appalled at the state of it. I just had to install Win 11 for a Google Cloud certification exam (DaFuq!?!?!) and with all the issues I encountered it took about 6 hours to get it ready for the exam. Win11 doesn’t come with network drivers anymore? Two NICs and a WiFi card in my machine, and none of them had drivers in the install. Nice to see we’ve gone full cycle back to Windows ME, except the OEM bloatware is a core part of the OS.

When my wife finally dropped Windows a month ago between the ads and recall, it marked the death of daily users of Windows in our house. I’m raising my kid on Linux.

This is how marketing works in Asia. Major corps do it every bit as much. You have anime mascots or you don’t sell to anyone under 40, from my understanding.
