Didn’t notice anything like that on my GOG games started from Lutris.

Thanks for mentioning that.

As I consider getting back into Linux desktop despite 30 years of just using Linux via ssh, lutris seems to be part of my plan. It’s just GoG and WoW anyway, and I’m glad to know the perf may not be impacted by this bug. So thanks.

It’s weird how the missing comma changes the meaning completely. #stayInSchool

I’m aghast: How can this be a solution?!? We slam Microsoft but at least their networking doesn’t go toes-up.

I worked next to a technical writer for Unix; the Unix. One of the things we were known for, actually, was the amazing documentation. This guy and both teams of writers (that many) maintained the doc as their entire job. It was written well, it was spell-checked, it was accurate, it was accessible. If you installed the machine, it was on http://localhost/doc or so.

Almost all tech writers were turfed after Y2K. They cost money and didn’t earn directly.

If you notice a lack of good docco like you notice a lack of mentoring in code dev (I see you, Systemd), then we know how we got to this stage.

If you become CEO, just keep that in mind.

In gitlab.

In the terraform project that builds it. Or in the cinc.sh config that makes it go.

MD lets me add diagrams.

Tell me you had to do real work with Systemd and discovered what a steaming useless pile of millennial shite it is as a whole, without using those words. The only cure for lennart’s cancer is to cut it out.

I don’t have an apple TV. Or an iPhone.

I had Apple TV for a while, during the ForAllMankind days and especially Ted Lasso. Some of their TV is great.

But killing my subscription took me three tries. Holy hopping shit, Hannah, was it a bag-drive just to find the page and make it happen. Their entire website is one big incestuous circle asking you why you don’t have an iProduct and why not buy one here.

I’m 30 years in Linux, I should mention, and I worked at a distro building and securing Linux and AT&T Unix, and I’m somewhat nerdy. Still. It was such a mortal trial.

Never going back.

Remember when the US successfully sued and dismantled companies using their market presence to unfair advantage?

…which no one uses in great quantity but it serves as a reason to divert attention to some idea of bloat and not to an editor without a fucking beep mode.

Tell me you understand the health risks with unnecessary touchscreen use.

Can we, as users, prevent our own posts and comments from federating to a given server?

They’re not banning me for my accusations of genocide; I’m Banning Them

I’m not here to influence things. I was in the thick of it for a bit, but I’m here now.

I love coding. I get to do it for money. It allows me a nice little apartment in a nice environment and with my wife chipping in her half we’re a little insulated from financial strife. A little.

That’s it. I code, I eat food and live with a beautiful girl who seems to care for me, and we occasionally get to go see family or a strange new place. I’m flying as close to the sun as I dare.

Find peace in your existence and enjoy what you’re doing, whether programming is the bread or it’s the butter. It’s all a means to an end of doing something you love for what little time we have here.

You’re asking for a distro to best fit certain criteria; what’s better for you.

What you’re going to get is everyone waving the flag of their favourite distro and selling you on it as a solution; what’s better for them.

Weird way to spell EndeavorOS

With the missing ‘U’? I know, right? But it’s not weird; it’s just American, so it rewrites its history.

errupts

\sigh

Oh Jesus. I forgot about that.

I choose that one too for “almost ruptured a spleen” laughing.

Please tell me it can spell better than grammarly. That website REALLY shows its roots.

They can’t really say no to a free app

“No enterprise support” is actually scary for them. I did security, 'way back, but in Unix, and maybe that’s why we were more cool with OSS back then. Windows people love the black-box binaries and fear a lack of pricy support.

Absolutely true. We mimicked bad design out there for compatibility, but then it became comfy and now cannot be changed.

Having said that, the ribbon must die. Let’s not hold MSOffice (post-97) up as the ideal for anything at all, okay?

I’ve updated enterprise Linux machines automatically for decades. The score is tens of thousands of upgrades, 1 problem I caused, 1 packaging glitch.

You don’t need to take on risky drek like flatpaks to get there. It’s one command in enterprise and you’re kinda done forever.

Glad you like your setup. I hope it works for you and you never learn the risks of flatpaks.

need to proactively go out of your way to ensure a program is simple, minimal, and carefully constructed to avoid interactions potentially outside of a restricted security scope as a “security nightmare”.

You must fear hammers.
