First, this would be a better question to ask in a Linux specific community.

Second, Build time is really subjective to the computer and its hardware. There could be bottlenecks at the cpu/memory from the motherboard that will slow it down. It also depends on whether you’re spinning rust or using an ssd.

There are a lot of factors involved in the whole that makes it hard to definitively say how long something takes to build.

Trust me, it’s not just satire.

I was in a homeless shelter about 7 years ago, unfortunately as a resident, and this dude I shared my room with was like 40 and would post on his Facebook profile that he was looking for a godly woman who doesn’t want to work and wants kids. His description of her was as follows:

Must be blonde, 5 foot to 5.5 foot tall, weigh no more than 110 lbs, must be religious to the only point of life was serving god and him. She must be no older than 25 and big boobs and perfect breeding hips.

This dude was 40, 300 lbs, 6ft tall. Took a shower once a week, worked at pilgrims chicken on the kill floor, and was so slow it took him 10 minutes to walk up a 100ft driveway from where the bus dropped him off. And yet he could never understand why No women wanted anything to do with him

It appears that has been corrected. As of 0810 central daylight savings time U.S.

What if the cloud server corrupts your data in transfer or worse shuts down its server without notification. It can and has happened.

For example, I had a cloud backup went to get it and the server could no longer be found. That was with Dropbox mind you. I lost 10gb of important files because of it. Never trust just one source of backup. Always have a secondary just in case.

Primary rule of thumb is 2 physical backups and one offsite backup(cloud). Remember physical medium can fail or degrade

You’re right, it is probably an anti-privacy thing. God forbid they can’t do the telemetry and other nefarious that they do

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years and have never had to rely on paid for support. The paid for support is really geared towards professional big business work stations and server stacks. If you need support for Linux you can find free support on their forums 99% of the time. It’s the IT departments with lazy techs that rely on Linux paid support.

You are right about the Micro$uck hate though. Why should I pay to use an operating system on a computer I buy and use until it’s reached it’s EOL when I can use Linux to do everything you do on windows and I don’t have to pay for the software? In today’s economy, it makes sense to use Linux.

This is just another attempt by Micro$uck to make everyone use their email services. Micro$uck doesn’t want any competition, they want to rule the computer world

The creators are making money from the ads, they probably won’t abandon ship at yt unless they stop making revenue. A lot of the creators on yt rely on the ads to be worthwhile in creating the content.

I agree, yt is getting stupid with their ads, from what I understand they are now including ads in the yt premium subscription aervice, which is supposed to be ad free mind you.

As long as greed dictates content, creators won’t abandon ship, unless they can have ads on the alternatives to make money on.

One thing to look at is you are self-hosting on a local tower turned server.

If you are using a hosting provider, most of them offer domain name registration through their company.

Nothing wrong with that. When I see a re-post from X/twitter, or whatever he wants to name it in the future, I happily scroll right by it.

I say let him go bankrupt trying to save it.

Well he is helping it along with the latest talking point that he is going to make X a subscription only platform, aka you must pay to play.

I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.

Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.

You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.

However, iirc the article stated this affected her phone service too. If it hadn’t been for her cell phone she could have been in jeopardy if something happened and she couldn’t call out.

That does make it an issue in which it could be declared as criminal endangerment of the elderly. This in turn would cost them a lot more than a techs pay.

I looked it up and corrected my post. Had to change Vivaldi also as it is opera fork.

I honestly thought you were talking about the “opera is owned by china” fud

I keep hearing this but can’t find any basis for this

I forgot about that one. But a lot of people on the web won’t use it since it’s not as “innovative as the others” to them.

I remember those days. For that matter I remember when the internet didn’t exist. You wanted to talk to more than one person we had party lines on the landline phones and you had to know who you were talking to in order to call or add them to it.
