Cases are for sckrubs, you already have a clamshell that protects your device.

Not as protected as a DS, but good enough.

I’m pretty sure furries are typically foss devs not sysadmins.

Real sysadmins blend in so well because they don’t want anything to do with technology and the internet at home.

Which is why their TOS prohibits all discussion relating to it lol

lemmy.world user

Lol they banned discussion of jury nullification despite the fact that they have no reason to so their constant complaining about ml is moot

Not Eurpoe specifically but I shared a rather basic comment on YouTube joking about Great Britain causing famines in India but its okay because they brought trains and the result is a mile long thread of pissed off UK suckers telling me I’m wrong, that there was no fammine, the Wikipedia article and its 300 sources are fake, and that the British empire totally went around modernizing civilization for the benefit of humanity. (Was a post about Irish complaining about a very crappy Irish History book made by a British author)

So I guess for any of those people, no GB was just a colonist empire racing to exploit the hell out of resources faster than France, Spain, and Portugal. The technology they brought was used almost exclusively in their conquest operations (Trains used to transport goods and resources) and they actively supported and supplied opposition groups to destabilize and overthrow governments similar to what the USA does today.

I mean seriously, they held immense power over China via opium and are responsible for practically every shill state in the middle east because they provided weapons to overthrow the Ottaman empire.

The iconic pan arab flag is actually a British designed flag given to all the opposition groups they funded to break up Ottaman power.

They fell apart after exhausting their power in WWII and the USA came in to save them so now they gleefully cheer about how they carried in WWII with intelligence services as if Germany couldn’t have easily invaded the entire nation overnight had Hitler not been an incompetent moron.

Thankfully, after exploiting half the world, they totally didn’t spend the last of their power screwing over every former colony into some long term problem that they could exploit without the need for military power.

Poettering worked for Red Hat from 2008 to 2022.[2][3] He then joined Microsoft.

In 2017, Poettering received the Pwnie Award for Lamest Vendor Response to vulnerabilities reported in systemd.

This Mastodon stream from Lennart Poettering describes a sudo replacement — called run0 — that will be part of the upcoming systemd 256 release. It takes a rather different approach to the execution of privileged commands, avoiding the use of setuid (which he calls “SUID”) permissions entirely.

Basically Microsoft bloat confirmed, everyone switch back to OpenRC lol

Compiz, XFCE, and GNOME <40 (now Cinnamon and MATE) proved quality UI design 15+ years ago.

It is actually insulting to Linux desktop that the default DE on the top distros don’t even have minimize and expand buttons by default, and that any extra features require DE plugins.

GNOME 40+ is like Wayland. Years of development for practically no real user improvements. Every update shows off features DEs had over a decade ago.

GNOME 47’s first listed big change is accent colors. wtf??? What the f*** do you think we’ve been using GTK and Qt for???

At least with KDE, the ram usage is justified. GNOME eats system resources just to give you a shitty ChomeOS UI that feels just as cheap.

The moment XFCE ports to Wayland, I’ll happily swap Compiz for Wayfire and use my computer like a normal person.

2 player Mario Kart Wii, 16 race game with aggressive items and motion controls.

I watched my friend eat 5 blueshells in one race lmao

Fedora 41 with XFCE and Compiz checking in

We joke but SteamOS could be a game changer just because of steam’s userbase.

It’ll take some time because they’d need to to outshine windows in every way, including ease to use and all the stuff wayland forgot to implement. Right now it’s good enough for the deck, but they’d have to coaxe Arch into working for everyone.

Having a big customer base you can market to could legitimately open up Linux to desktop as a serious market share.

Even 15 years ago, DEs were pretty solid along with software. It was the lack of OEMs selling hardware that ran Linux along with Microsoft’s monopoly that kept it that way.

Of course if you are brave enough, you can always try it yourself with Nobara or Bazzite, but having Valve put a dedicated team behind their own distro would be very appealing.

I swear it’ll totally be the year of the Linux desktop

“Accidentally”

Because people definitely can miss the big bold NEATGEAR logo and the clearly not a console shaped box with 16 Ej45 ports slapped on the front lol.

Happens all the time.

Unix devs: “Let’s make everything a file in our OS so that it’s easy to use and develop”

Windows devs (clearly on crack): “Let’s store random critical shit in a crappy database registry thing and retain literally all the drawbacks of DOS on our new NT system”
