That’s still software. Unless selinux has a hidden feature where it can physically sever a data connection.
You seem to be imagining people HYAAAAAHHing their foot on the clutch pedal full force with bulging veins on their temples. It’s just that you typically put quite a bit more force on that pedal compared to a brake pedal even if it’s not exactly violent. It’s slamming in relative terms.
Yeah that’s a rather important point that’s conveniently left out too often. I routinely extract individual files out of large archives. Pretty easy and quick with zip, painfully slow and inefficient with (most) tarballs.
It’s the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.
One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we’d disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn’t actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said “see, I told you it would help I know my stuff”. He did not, in fact, know his stuff.
I think what they meant was forcing people to do it all by hand invites mistakes, which are then fined.
Unfortunately, as of 29.05.2024, carrying laptops in your pocket is still slightly too uncomfortable.
I’m also running KDE on arch. It’s not so unstable that it crashes, but its features do tend to break. Right now, there’s an empty space in my top panel where the native system monitor should be doing its thing. It was working a couple days ago, now it isn’t. Yesterday I found a stray native media player widget on my desktop that definitely was not there before. I had to restart Spotify for the 3rd time today because its window becomes unusable if it’s left in the foreground when the system goes to sleep.
I didn’t do any deep tinkering at all. Vanilla KDE plasma 6 where the only tweaks I have made are those offered by the DE itself. I’m not impressed.
They’re not that common. In my experience a highly extension-ified gnome still manages to be simpler and more stable than KDE with all its native customizability.
The whole point of those generative models that they are very good at blending different styles and concepts together to create coherent images. They’re also really good at editing images to add or remove entire objects.
I agree, unfortunately. The only reason I stick with ddg over Google is because, unlike Google, they don’t smother me with captchas the moment I enter a VPN.
If anything it’s getting worse. Today I (unsuccessfully) spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the bottom panel’s state won’t persist between reboots. I don’t even know what state it’s reverting to. I never pinned Google chrome to that panel yet it appears there on every reboot while all my pins are gone. Some time was also wasted on rebuilding another panel that somehow broke and piled all of its widgets on top of each other and made them unclikable. There’s also something seriously wrong with either the window manager or the compositor or both because on two occasions it sorta fused two windows together, producing a garbled mess that forced me to exit both applications and restart them.
I think I’ll call this one a failure and go back to gnome as soon as I can. This really is not a good experience. Maybe in another two years I’ll try KDE again. Last time I tried KDE it was much worse, so they’re clearly getting better.
On Arch, KDE is the epitome optimization and polish.
Cannot relate. At all.
Last friday I re-installed Arch with KDE this time instead of GNOME for a change, and in these two and a half days I’ve already encountered more bugs and crashes than I did the entire time I was on GNOME. Kinda regretting the decision already. All that with stock applets and widgets and shit that come bundled with the DE. I don’t want to imagine what things would be like if I started to mess around with third party stuff.
First gen in-screen scanners were absolute trash. Borderline unusable. But the tech has improved quite a lot since the first ones. The one in my galaxy tab s9’s screen is fast and accurate.
“they have sane defaults” is the most insane thing I heard about Macs. Their stupid fucking defaults is what I hate the most about macs. Example: enter key. Its default behavior is to RENAME a file while you have to hit a two key combo to open a file. That will never make sense to me. Might sound like a minor thing, but the whole system is so full of such small annoying things. At first I thought it was annoying because I was not used to that stuff, but I’ve been using a Mac for quite a while now and I still find the OS mostly annoying.
The usual answer to that is “active directory”. It’s not uncommon to have one windows server alongside other Linux servers because of AD.
Legible text has long been solved. Plenty of diffusion models out there that can generate perfectly normal looking legible text. The words might be complete gibberish, but at least they’re legible gibberish.
He could just pick up the npc. Not like he’s never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.
Yes. Your boss needs to be able to double click on an email attachment otherwise it’s like you never even did anything.
I don’t know about upset.
You refer to it as gnu/Linux, I won’t be upset. I’ll just slightly roll my eyes at your choosing to utter such an inconvenient word to make a point that doesn’t really need to be made. But ultimately it’s your breath that is being wasted not mine, so I don’t really care.
You start arguing about it, then it gets annoying because give it a rest. I am perfectly aware that gnu is a core part of the whole thing, I just don’t think it matters that I verbally pay tribute to it every single time I mention Linux. One word is enough to let you know wtf I’m talking about 99.999999% of the time, so I’m not adding another one that’s already implied basically always. Still not upset though.
