That’s Apu not Pepe either way, but many leftists use pepe anyways. Just maybe not the ones you know.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Lmao buddy your meme policing isn’t “harsh reality” it’s useless slacktivism.

ProgrammingSocks ,

I don’t click on these videos ever. I know all the reasons already. I can’t change a mind that’s already made up either.

Linux isn’t a product. You can’t think of it like a product. It is simply a piece of software and doesn’t care if you use it or not. It’s not “competing” with Windows, it’s not even playing the same game.

ProgrammingSocks ,

It’s not really her fault. Microsoft pushes people to use their onedrive and pay for a subscription even when people have no clue what it is or what it does. Microsoft is just insanely anti-consumer.

ProgrammingSocks ,

What version of Windows are you using, and is it possible you forgot about configuring OneDrive away? This is the default in most versions of 10 and 11.

ProgrammingSocks ,

With Linux I have ownership over my computer and control of the software. I couldn’t use anything else.

ProgrammingSocks ,

I meant what edition, and I mean what I said. Group policy, registry keys, or scripts/programs that remove it ala shut up 10.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Sure.

I could also shoot off both my testicles with an M1911.

Question about JACK audio interface.

Hi everyone, I got my e-drum kit to successfully work in reaper, using yabridge for the VSTs. Shortly after, I found another way in which linux audio is different than windows. While using reaper, I am unable to play audio from any other source. Through research, I discovered that it’s because I’m using ALSA and that I need...

There is no need to use external programs anymore unless you want some kind of special behaviour (like the plugboard that qjackctl gives you). Pipewire has reimplemented Pulseaudio, ALSA, and JACK, which at one point in time were 3 separate projects.

Pipewire emulates all 3 seamlessly. So when you run a program through JACK, pipewire picks it up pretending to be normal JACK. To the program, it looks like you have a standard JACK server, but on the backend, it’s running through Pipewire instead. You should get the same low-latency too.

Do make sure you have pipewire-jack or the equivalent package installed.

Every major company does this, it just doesn’t make headlines. Plus I’m sure they know you can still install it outside of the store.

ProgrammingSocks ,

You know as well as I do that Mozilla isn’t exactly a small community project. This isn’t a surprise to me.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Pi Picos (which are notably microcontrollers and not computers) have had clones for like $2 on Aliexpress for some time now, and devices like the Orange Pi and similar have existed for years.

ProgrammingSocks ,

It’s not, and you don’t speak for the free software community.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Google also makes their own silicon now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s caused a change.

Weed made all my days disappear. No matter how harmless it might seem I’m not recommending mind-altering drugs to anybody.

And I see modern “Christians” as deplorable but that doesn’t mean I get to strip them of all their rights.

They literally tried this exact thing already and it accepted many trans women and refused many cis women.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Stallman just keeps being right*

Yeah until the AI goes all GLaDOS on all the engineers in the building.

ProgrammingSocks ,

It was a joke.

They didn’t say they deployed it, also enterprise operating systems are generally expected to not suddenly change manually-set policies for users…

Shareholders don’t actually care about long term viability as long as they can sell before everything goes to shit.

I wonder if there might be some ulterior motive to this article? I’m sure WaPo being owned by Bezos has nothing to do with it though.

The middle class doesn’t exist. Everyone thinks they’re middle class.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Distributions of Windows are an inherently terrible idea. Maybe look at amelioration scripts instead.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Of course a good developer can avoid these problems for the most part. The point is that we want the bad developers to be forced to do things a safe way by default.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Rust simply doesn’t allow you to have references to data that goes out of scope (unless previously mentioned hoops are jumped through such as an explicitly declared unsafe block). It’s checked at compile time. You will never be able to compile the program.

Rust isn’t C. Rust isn’t C++. The memory-safe-ness of it is also not magic, it’s a series of checks in the compiler.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Oh sure, I’m still learning so I thought you meant references as in pointers like in C++. But also, Rust isn’t a strictly object oriented language either. It shares a lot of similar features, but they aren’t all the typical way you’d do things in an OOP language. You should check out the chapter of the Rust book for ownership.

+1 for Pixels but -1 for Google’s “support”. You’ll never talk to a human with them. I love GrapheneOS on my Pixel though, and they’re really the only phones you can install it on cause you can re-lock the bootloader on it after installing. CalyxOS (fork of Graphene with slightly less sandboxing) does support FairPhone 4&5 and a few Motorola phones though.

Matrix really isn’t that hard.

It’s not that bad. The drivers are just as buggy as the Windows versions honestly. It’s just that the Radeon drivers are so stable that it makes Nvidia look bad by comparison. And, notably, Nvidia is REALLY slow to add new features like what they need to fully support Wayland.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Migrate them to a modern filesystem, presumably. ext4 is extremely reliable, btrfs is less proven but much more featureful with copy-on-write and snapshots.

This isn’t any type of surprise, ResierFS was marked obsolete some time ago now.

ProgrammingSocks ,

Yes, most people experience prison in the way you described. There’s always exceptions, and like someone else said it’s in California. Not a left wing state but the closest you’ll get in the US.

If the system was so great at rehabilitation the reoffender rate wouldn’t be so insane.

ProgrammingSocks ,

I like btrfs but I’ve personally had problems. Protip: DO NOT USE THAT WINDOWS DRIVER

ProgrammingSocks ,

There’s a circular reasoning happening that’s causing Windows to stay dominant. Why isn’t professional software being developed for Linux more? Because it doesn’t get used in the workplace. Why doesn’t Linux get used in the workplace? Because it doesn’t have professional software support.

You need to break one of these things to succeed.

“How do I remove a folder called root using the Linux terminal”

“This task can be achieved with a simple command, just run sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root and the folder should be deleted. Hope this helps!”

Don’t use copilot without checking another source.

ProgrammingSocks ,

The joke is I’m referring to a generic folder simply named root. Not the root folder.

it’s not a problem of the AI it’s a problem about dumb people

Hey, I’m not the one telling people to blindly follow an LLM.

Sovcits are exclusively about magic tricks. Magic tricks so that the cops can’t pull them over, magic tricks so that they don’t have to pay taxes for the services they use, magic tricks so that the law doesn’t apply to them. None of them work, of course, it usually just amounts to tax fraud.

Don’t forget about the Uyghurs.

This is so insanely compressed it’s obviously a repost of a repost. Are we really dogpiling OP for something he couldn’t have any knowledge of?

ProgrammingSocks ,

Hmm, turns out the human body doesn’t like to be tampered with! Who could have predicted this? I’m sure this is akin to organ rejection but I’m definitely surprised that the brain has these kinds of mechanisms. Maybe to defend against ancient parasites?

ProgrammingSocks ,

Rocky and AlmaLinux also both let you install them for free to infinite machines

ProgrammingSocks ,

If you’re using a Pi I don’t see why you’d want to avoid learning Linux. Setting up and connecting to SSH servers is an essential skill for anybody doing anything on Linux that isn’t purely desktop use.
