Oddly, Windows can natively handle .tar.gz now. Found that out the other day.

If your computer takes 15 minutes to boot…something is wrong. Even when I ran Windows on a non-SSD it didn’t take that long.

The joke is that trans people in the tech community are typically developers+Linux users with a propensity to prefer Rust for a programming language.

A lot of people have been pushing for Rust to be incorporated into the Linux kernel more, rather than being mostly C.

It’s a joke based on a stereotype.

People bitching about Flatpaks don’t understand that they have dedupe built in. You’re literally not using any more space and it’s easier for app developers to deploy.

Try using Snaps sometime, if you want something to actually bitch about.

You… prefer snaps?

I guess we found the one person with that hot take.

Back in my day we coded in assembly and we liked it that way!

Why Bazzite for a non-gaming setup? Or are your parents gamers?

Indirect Playback goes through them first. Also, they host DynDNS for the Plex media server to make accessing it remotely from apps easier.

The second thing is a joke to host and requires no resources. The first one can be a significant resource usage item.

VTubers are people who is avatars instead of being on camera. Typically the avatar is lip synced to their voice.

They’re trolling and have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. I’ve literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.

The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.

I’m happy my company basically issued a ban on Windows without pre-authorization. We’re entirely a macOS and Linux shop.

As a fellow Mint enjoyer who is too fucking old to be fixing their desktop all the time…yes

Really? Nice. Didn’t know that about Flatpaks.

While I prefer Debian packages, what’s wrong with Flatpaks other than a bit of bloat caused by redundant dependencies? They’re not Snaps.

Debian and Mint user…yup I’m old.

Now there are 15 competing standards.

Glory to you…and your distro.

I’m using a Ryzen Mini PC running Debian and Flex Launcher.

Works well as both a media consumption machine and light gaming rig.

Xfinity/Comcast hijacks DNS, even if you use another DNS server (they just redirect DNS requests to them). I suspect that they’re using it for analytics data to sell while disguising it as “security”.

They also block access to root DNS servers, so you can’t use a full DNS Resolver run locally. It’s super f***Ed.

If you want to ensure they don’t do it, use your own modem and always force DNS over TLS.
