SapphironZA , to linux in Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?

For me the main difference is Linux only does something when I ask it to.

Windows does whatever Microsoft wants it to do.

Both have major usability issues. But Linux gets a higher tolerance level, because of higher trust levels.

orcrist , to linux in Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?

Who is “we”, my friend? This all depends on your research and expectations. IMO Linux works great, but you should consider it before you buy a machine. Make sure your graphics card and other hardware is going to work. When in doubt, buy from a reliable shop that preinstalls Linux for you.

I find that the default settings and programs of Debian (or whatever major distro) do 95% of what I expect and want, and maybe 5% involve some customization. In other words, it’s much simpler than getting Windows or Apple and then purchasing or downloading all the extra programs. But this depends on what you wanna do.

missingno , to games in Are any gaming streaming platforms besides TTV, YT (& FB(?)) viable?
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

Viable? No. It's pretty much impossible for any new service to compete with the big juggernauts. Video streaming takes a ton of bandwidth so it's one of the most expensive kinds of services to run, and it's pretty much impossible to convince anyone to switch over from the established platforms. Streamers won't move because viewers aren't there, and viewers won't move because streamers aren't there.

Every now and then a new competitor pops up because some venture capitalist thought they'd be special enough to succeed where everyone else failed, and promptly dies. No one stands a chance of taking on Google or Amazon.

People will point out that PeerTube exists on the Fediverse, but all that can really be said about PeerTube is that it is a thing that exists. If it's viability you want, PeerTube isn't there and I don't think it ever will be.

Arch Linux distro is not the best of the Linux desktop 💻 and is a great example for Linux distribution in the Linux ecosystem and the desktop 💻 and its desktop is the most important part.

Clearly the FUTO keyboard has no idea about Arch

shneancy , to science_memes in PhD Grads

PhD grads? My guys, I’m in the same situation with a flipping Bachelor of Arts in my pocket.

I recently got rejected from a shop that sells cheap and poor quality items for being “underqualified” (the listing required 0 experience and basic education so I’ll go ahead and assume this is the only rejection email template they use and it’s actually the opposite)

Can you ping your domain? How about checking the DNS resolution? What DynDns do you use?

D_Air1 , to linux in Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is?
@D_Air1@lemmy.ml avatar

No, not really. I believe it is because a lot of us linux users have more understanding of our systems, so we know why a certain outcome happened vs “it just works ^tm^”.

Also I would like to point out something that I have been telling people for years whenever a post like this comes up. Windows and Mac users do the same thing. They constantly overlook bugs, bad design, artificial limitations, and just the overall lack of care when it comes to various details that more community oriented projects cater to. The reason is because of familiarity. Just like many of us will often not see issues with new comers struggles because we have already worked around all of the issues. These users do the same.

At least on Linux you can have some kind of control while on Windows or Mac there is an illusion like “can’t do that, fuck you”, while Linux is like “can do that… will you manage”?

apotheotic , to asklemmy in Why do people on Lemmy get mad when you make multiple posts about similar topic?

Looking at your post history, you make a tonne of posts but don’t engage with the comments seemingly at all. That isn’t in the spirit of this sort of platform.

hungryphrog , to nostupidquestions in Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence?

Robots don’t demand things like “fair wages” or “rights”. It’s way cheaper for a corporation to, for example, use a plagiarizing artificial unintelligence to make images for something, as opposed to commissioning a human artist who most likely will demand some amount of payment for their work.

Also I think that it’s partially caused by people going “ooh, new thing!” without stopping to think about the consequences of this technology or if it is actually useful.

Sorry, it’s vegan cat food week. Beans are next.

sunscream , to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?
@sunscream@lemmy.vg avatar

For me fediverse is largely useless because it lacks any viable size of a gay population. From LGBT+ people it has a huge trans community but not gay. If you’re gay and want to interact with other gay men you need to use a more mainstream platform.

Which is a pity because I only liked Mastodon’s UI and the big platforms lack quality of life implementations.

lorentz , to selfhosted in Port Forwarding/Redirecting

Yes, you can do it on your server with a simple iptable rule.

I’m a little rusted, but something like this should work.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d [your IP] -p tcp --dport 11500 -j DNAT --to-destination [your IP:443]

You can find more information searching for “iptables dnat”. What you are saying here is: in the prerouting table (ie: before we decide what to do with this packet) tcp connections to my IP at the port 11500 must be forwarded to my IP at port 443.

ClassifiedPancake , to asklemmy in What is an achievement in life that you're proud of?

Many things. Stopped smoking, started eating healthier, cooking, doing sports, going to therapy, stopped hating myself, learning to handle my income appropriately so I don’t live credit to credit anymore, getting a dog (now my second) be nice to people and get nice back. All spread out over the last ten years since I had a breakdown when I turned 30.

Instead of just linking to the information, which may be removed in the future, you could have also pasted a snippet of a relevant section. Like:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.
