Disable automatic updates

Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that’s the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.

Anyone that used them for even a limited amount of time will tell you that the thing can give you a correct, detailed explanation on how to do a thing, and provide a broken result. And vice versa. Looking into it by asking more have zero chance of being useful.

“nvidia’s confidential compute” had me choke when reading it. Sure bro, sure.

Unless everyone you communicate with have agreed to use the same standard as you, no, it is not.

Eh. I’m mostly a power user, all day at work in terminals and keyboard shortcut galore.

It doesn’t prevent me from laying back and running a “filthy casual” kubuntu with little to no setup at all. At one point you reach the state where you just want to use your computer, not tinker with it all the time.

I don’t know how it works in the US, and it’s certainly not perfect, but if you bring “compromised” evidences of actual child abuse, you can be sure it’ll trigger some extensive investigation. Sometimes, this leads to nothing. Sometimes, the “evidences” were not really evidence, but more of a hunch. Sometimes, it leads to actual consequences.

One issue with such a vigilante system is that sometimes, you’re wrong. That’s why due process is a thing. But the “this evidence was collected illegally, so we won’t even look up the guy” thing isn’t really a thing, as long as the evidence is better than “I’m sure of it”.

Great. Just dump anyone you dislike as a “pedophile” and then it’s a free for all.

It will obviously look different, but with binfmt, wine, and a sane initial setup, you could get a lot of .exe works from a click in the UI (or the CLI, after all, CLI apps exists on windows too).

You could improve your reading comprehension.

but ignore the long history of vulnerabilities, bugs, and cursed workarounds present in X.Org

You’re not wrong on the other points, but that one… you’d also have to ignore the things that got fixed in X.Org, and the things that will show up in the various wayland implementations that were fixed previously. That’s the thing when doing things from scratch, old issues shows up sometimes.

Those figures are larger than the total storage usage on my work computer, with every tools installed and repositories cloned locally. I know that large storage are way more accessible, but it still sounds crazy to take so much space.

The only way I can go over that is by installing npm dependencies in every source tree, which is also a thing that really should be improved.

Until it doesn’t work. There’s a lot of subtlety, and at some point you’ll have to match what the OS provide. Even containers are not “run absolutely anywhere” but “run mostly anywhere”.

That doesn’t change the point, of course; software that are dependent on the actual kernel/low level library to provide something will be hard to get working in unexpected situations anyway, but the “silver bullet” argument irks me.

No, they hate flatpak, one of the many option to distribute software, which is not the only one even if you consider the “must run on many distro” restriction (which isn’t 100% true, kinda like the Java write once run anywhere). There are other options, some more involved, some simpler, to do so.

They didn’t say they hate devs, that’s on you, grabbing a febble occasion to tell someone that voiced his opinion to “fuck off”.

I don’t know how people can be so easily taken in by a system that has been proven to be wrong about so many things

Ahem. Weren’t there an election recently, in some big country, with uncanny similitude with that?

I honestly believe their self driving tech is safer than humans.

That’s how it should be. Unfortunately, one of the main decision maker on tesla’s self driving software is doing their best to make it perform worse and worse every time it gets an update.

Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?

He does a lot of things, in particular layer positioning/whatever this is called. I can’t really compare with PS though, since I don’t have it, but to open and do basic stuff on complex psd files that other software do not handle well, it’s ok.

No idea how large you can get with it though.
