This ‘compress’ everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus “oops, all your files are gone, tee hee”. GZ everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

Всмысле блядь нет русских ботов? Я что для вас, шутка?
Oh they most definitely do. I briefly worked at a company that sold data to car flippers and we for sure knew if any particular car was ever used as a taxi or not. Even if we didn’t buy this data off taxi company directly, we could easily determine it by seeing unusually high mileage between services and checkups. And we definitely know the identity of the driver, so it’s just a matter of putting 2+2 together.
I know a place where they still do this. They’ve got an 8-digit user count, 7 digit monthly profits, all running on one server that costs something like $20 a month. They’ve downsized a few years ago to single-digit employee number and just sit there and collect profits. And this is why I’m now working for a company that casually dropped a few grand for a glorified CPU usage meter and a few grand on top of that for deployment tool that does the same thing that the old guy at a former place was doing with his trusty FTP client.
Is logitech still not allowing you full customization with presets saved on mouse itself? I’d expect that from the cheapest noname 5-button mouse on the shelf, not logiteck, I thought they got their shit together already given how much praise they usually get.
It’s probably because something your instance admins did. For me it didn’t show up either, so i looked at the link:
https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fi2IzTtY.png
And it responded with 429 “Too many requests”
But the url is clearly pointing to imgur, why the middle-man? Just urldecode it and here ya go
Still do. ADHD is still not recognized in lots of places and I certainly do, in form of vape. Tried lowering concentration only to find myself smoking at higher power and more often. Also, energy drinks, I don’t know what they put in them but withdrawal from them feels exactly like quitting smoking.
Grant NATO membership to what? The charred remains of Lviv?
This. The best you can do is encrypt your messages locally before sending. But then your email service provider still knows where you are, when and to whom you are sending the message to, and how long is it. And so does the recepient’s email provider and anyone in between. Best they can do is to promise not to keep that data. But it’s just that - a promise, which there is no way to verify.
I was about to say the same, but then I remembered that I’m ignoring any business that use WhatsApp or Instagram as their sole means of communication. Fuck yeah I’m a petulant teenager, it’s their loss, not mine.
I think he said that it would cancel his tetanus.
Feels lonely, most of all. I don’t fear the cops or ex-wagners I walk past every time I go to the store. It’s the radio silence in once popular channels whose owners were “disappeared”, and friends either in exile or too scared to even go out, that makes me feel devastated.
I’m more of a medovukha kind of guy, but yes, indeed, we do. Thank you for saying this
Barrel chest. Probably due to some lung condition that he had before
I’m literally crying looking at this. People are mad that there are 8.6% of nazis, meanwhile, over here in Russia, there’s like 7.8% reps in the upper house and <4% in the lower who might secretly NOT be a nazi. The rest are pretty open about it.

I am astounded by the amount of irrational hatred in here towards what is essentially a T-junction pipe…
If you got compose key (linux, mac, windows with third party software), then those are trivial:
ë ñ ũ ü, and even åâăāãȧaąàáæª₂2²
Goes like Compose e "
, Compose n ~
, etc
But a thing to note that resulting letters are generic and not region-specific,
like that ë (U+00EB LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS)
is not the same as ё (U+0451 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO)
Which might trigger spellcheckers or not even be displayed in certain fonts
There’s also apparently some weird combos like Compose+:)
for ☺
and Compose+CCCP
for ☭
, but no easily available keys for greek letters unless you tweak configs…
This is by far the worst take I’ve seen on the topic. Sorry for being rude, but it sounds like you haven’t touched a computer since that last time in 1990.
Power management is a joke
Surprise, it’s 2024 and windows will obliterate the battery even after you turn off the machine.
There no way even possible via the GUI to config power management for things like low/critical battery conditions /actions.
There is, though it’s via dconf, but it’s justified as it’s a thing few people would want to tweak.
Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel
Sounds like an excel problem to me
Tables are something that’s just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort
I don’t use either, but I’m pretty sure filter views are available in libreoffice calc. Open source DB’s and Access? What are you talking about, exactly?
Now there’s that print monitor that’s on by default
The what now? Are you talking about CUPS daemon? systemctl stop cups && systemctl disable cups
. Enjoy your 2.5megs of ram back at a cost of not being able to print anything. Now try and do that on windows without bricking your system.
and can only be shut up by using a command line. Wtf? In the 21st century?
If you insist on needing a GUI, go ham. But don’t you diss the command line. Being able to do things without GUI is anything but a con.
Yea, samba works, but how do you clear creds you used one time to connect to a share, even though you didn’t say “save creds”?
That’s notoriously a windows problem, not a linux one. You must be misremembering it
Oh, you have a wireless Logitech mouse? Linux won’t even recognize it
Not recognize it like, not being picked up by xinput, or not even listed in lsusb? I haven’t ever heard of non-class-compliant mouse. Is that something to do with the G-Hub thingamajig? If so, that’s on logitech, not linux.
My brand new wireless mouse works on any version of windows since 2000, at the least, and would probably work on Win95
No, it won’t. If linux didn’t pick it up without a driver, then win95 won’t either. And it’s even worse in reverse. I have a bunch of old hardware that won’t ever work on modern windows because the last drivers released are for WinXP, which are not compatible nor even portable to subsequent versions. All of them are plug-n-play on linux, though.
Linux doesn’t even use a common shell
Huh? You mean the desktop environments? The shell is a thing very few people ever care about.
If it were 40 years ago, maybe Linux would’ve had a chance to beat MS, even then it would’ve required settling on a single GUI (which is arguably half of why Windows became a standard, the other half being a common API), a common build (so the same tools/utilities are always available), and a commitment to put usability for the inexperienced user first.
The overwhelming majority of systems are either in GNOME/GTK or KDE/Qt ecosystem, unless you really know what you’re doing and want to go with something completely different. But even then, there’s a lot of re-use or re-implementation of components from one or the other. It’s great to have this choice. Sure, it can be a hassle if components from one don’t play nice with another. But then, you’re comparing it to windows, that uses components from 3 distinct eras, that don’t really work together either.
Only if it has at least 93 octane rating and no less than 40% alcohol content.
