Technically backwards, those who encouraged and signed off on the deployment of Microsoft products breached security standards. If they did not ensure the contract ensured compliance with all applicable security requirements then they should not have given Microsoft a free pass to pools of money.

The same applies to virtually all fortune 1000 contracts that the Department of Defense has. Let the pain flow.

Either nushell or fish shell if you want a modern shell.

But honestly shell usage tends towards vim or emacs workflows.

Privately message me and I shall help you look.

I would suggest not using AI for answering your Linux questions, it provides a bunch of bad advice.

If no one teaches you, why would anyone expect you to know anything?

So it is ok to ask people questions but I do suggest finding a local Linux Users Group (or a local solarpunk group as they usually have a person or two who can help)

Reading wikis (like Arch or Gentoo) will help you solve your common problems and they also have forums where you can get great help as long as you are polite, kind and understand that they will ask clarifying questions and you should do the same but be respectful of them and their time

Nothing in Linux is above your skill level, you just have not found the community speaking your way of seeing it yet.

You are not the problem; the problem always is community finding is a hard unsolved problem in the Linux space.

Implicit details embedded in code can easily produce your frustration. But as I don’t know what your goals are and what you feel comfortable with, it will be hard to help

The 1/6 size is the only thing that makes me sad. I wish I could find a place that sells a full sized version of this chair.

Live-bootstrap is like 4 of those.

Check the caps lock and the num luck lights on your keyboard; they are the leading causes of a failed password with the correct password

Well yes because we have been doing it before patriarchy and we will do it long after patriarchy is dead.

But I will grant you that some women choose to not have children or to breastfeed them (formula exists, as does donated human breast milk and some women who enjoy the experience will breastfeed other women’s babies).

If I willingly breastfeed my child, what moral issue would you or any other person have with it?

If we are forcing a woman to breastfeed or be milked against her will; then that is a different question and a valid moral issue.

Consent matters

There is no attempt limit in grub by default, just use cryptomount (hd0,msdos1) and type in the password; repeat until you get it right

Then you may need to adjust your boot settings

Are you using libreboot, coreboot or the original OEM bios?

As a cis straight woman, let me just say. Welcome to the sisterhood. Also those who did go through male puberty are at a huge disadvantage in several women’s sports; so this whole thing always was inconsiderate.

My first month on Linux was rough but with my husband’s help and experience; we soon found an experience that was quite satisfying and we have stuck with it since.

Experiment and try to fail to find what makes you happy

Someone never read the book

Well this is how that technology is going to play out. For the first couple years it will be extremely helpful, to the point that the users stop depending on their own internal memories and their brains start pruning that functionality out. Then generative AI will be used to fill in missing details prior to the start of using them. And then they are going to slowly start feeding more and more lies until they are cheerful about being slaves.

By that definition all trans-men would be eligible to compete in the women’s competition and would result in a man beating up a woman… the very same fucking thing that this is about.

Well futex based high performance mutex support which is 400x faster than what existed back when 4MB systems were sold. A Constraint solver that doesn’t deadlock, support for a boatload of functionality that didn’t even exist back then.

And most of the size comes from -O3 compiler optimizations that didn’t exist back then and if you build with -Os it is about 512KB of a memory footprint which is smaller than SysV out of the box on Debian. So it is snappy on a 386SX with 4MB of RAM if you go the gentoo route.

People use SystemD because it works better than what came before it and it will be replaced when something actually better shows up. No one happens to have found a generally better solution yet.

OpenRC, Gnu Shepherd, runit and S6 are available for people who like them better but don’t assume that they are generally better for someone else’s use cases until you know what they are.

22MB is too heavy???

Well S6 is lighter but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Gnu Shepherd is about the same but solid.
