Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.

Brb adding this to my set of pranks for windows users

Can you apply this recursively to an entire drive? Say… C:\

That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.

Kubuntu is a great way to get to see you

Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?

Electric buses are a positive though, as transit is still going to be needed.

What we should not be doing, though, is making laws that require EV buses instead of improving bus service in general.

Valve are one of the major reasons that Microsoft’s attempts at the iOSification of Windows failed. Their investments in Linux are directly aimed at preventing what Apple is doing.

Tim Sweeney is a freeloader depending on companies like Valve to protect him from these threats to his company.

It’s harm reduction. Voting is what you do to prevent the more evil thing from happening while you work towards fixing things so that you have better options.

For me in particular I’m a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.

That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.

My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It’s still not enough

Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?

You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”

It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.

Yeah, I’m aware of Linkerbaan and their repeated violations of lemmy.world sitewide rules. I just don’t understand why other people are in such agreement.

I just don’t get this complaint. Block the bot and you never have to worry about it again.

I mean… It probably is. It’s accessing the copyrighted content outside of the terms of the license provided by the copyright owner.

But that shows more how broken the copyright system is than anything when piracy has such a low bar.

Fundamentally what YouTube is doing is an unprofitable model. Google bought them when they were in their “we can solve internet unprofitability with scale and more efficient data centres!” phase, but that has never really gone as planned for YouTube.

For a while I was very hopeful that YouTube Premium would solve that, but as they started removing features and making it an overall worse experience it became no longer worth the money. I don’t have an answer to this. If I did I could probably make a lot of money on that answer. What I do know, however, is that Google’s answer isn’t the right one.

Yeah I can’t speak to that, but I believe it.

Yes, Tony Evers could pardon her if he chooses.
