YES this.
Back when I was on Windows 10, I meticulously deleted all pre-installed crap (candy crush, Netflix, etc.), and turned off all tracking, ads, etc.
About a month later they pushed a major update and all those pre-installed apps were back, with more. All the settings I turned off were reverted.
I won't ever go back. The only games I really can't play are all online (League, etc.), and TBH good riddance. Wasn't adding value to my life anyway.
I was on Pop for a while, if I was still using an Nvidia card I would still be on Pop. Their built in support/installer is just so convenient and seamless for the most part.
Nvidia is just such a pain on Linux. Like if it works then great, but I have had just so many minor problems in the past.
My Nvidia card is essentially just a backup now in my server in case I need video output for a terminal.
Used: yes
Contributed: no
I know I know, I am sorry. Just started using it a few months ago (through Organic Maps on iOS), and honestly have started using it more than Google/Apple Maps. This is a good reminder for me so get off my ass and start contributing.
Fair point, Dougie needs to fucking go.
And for the record OF COURSE I care about other issues. Maybe my original comment was too extreme. There is no way I am going to vote for any rage-baiting, fear mongering, regressive asshole. If someone presented an amazing, ground-breaking housing plan but was also a neo-nazi I wouldn't vote for them LMAO.
I am just so tired of all the political theatre around housing. It just seems like a no-brainer that should cross party lines. The only people who don't care are the people who are rich, or who are in the pockets of rich development/property management companies. Even the older generations who own a single home care, they probably have children who they know won't ever be able to afford a home or pay a fair price to rent something.
Honestly, and this is purely anecdotal, but I think a "public intoxication" law is way too broad and abused by law enforcement to unjustly wrangle up people they feel are "undesirable".
Walk down any street in Toronto that has nightlife and there are many very obviously drunk people that do not get penalized. Whereas vulnerable, often homeless, people get swept up for similar behaviour.
I feel like "public intoxication" laws should be removed, and laws surrounding actual conduct (verbal/physical assault etc.) should remain. Having such a subjective law leaves way too much room for prejudice.
Yeah, and rental prices have skyrocketed too.
During the next federal election this will be my "single issue" that will determine who I vote for.
At this point I can ignore our insane grocery/telecom prices, even though that is still a huge issue. The housing crises has far worse ripple effects down the chain: potential buyers can't buy so they rent nicer places, potential renters can't rent the nice places so they are overpaying for the rentals they can afford, and people who can't afford any of the rental prices are scraping by with roommates or on the streets.
And these development companies have the nerve to go to court over government investigations over their shady practices.
Shameless.
Yeah, potentially overkill, but all the power to anyone who wants to try them out. Freedom of choice is one of the best parts of Linux.
And sorry for the long response. It’s hard to gauge the proficiency that someone might have with Linux, so I tend to lean towards detailed explanations just in case
I think that there are definitely valuable/valid use cases for the software in the OP, but I think that the built in bash tools can get most people most of the way there. And learning the common bash/shell conventions is way more valuable than learning a custom tool that some distros/environments won’t support.
If someone already uses aliases, creates some custom scripts, and sets some useful environment variables (along with effective use of piping and redirection) and still needs something more specialized, then getting a new tool could help.
The downsides are a reliance on another piece of software to use the terminal. So I would only use something like this if I had a really solid and specific use case I couldn’t accomplish with what I already use.
I wouldn’t install a program for this if your use case is simple. You will end up relying on it when there are already some built in tools that can get you 99% of the way there.
rsync command to an alias: alias rsync-cust=“rsync -avuP” Edit: rephrased to not discount the tools shared. I am sure if you had a specific reason to use them they could be helpful. But I think for many users the above options are more than enough and are supported pretty universally.
That single quote could basically capture this entire generation.
Praying that intel can actually drive more competition and make GPUs exciting again
That is definitely a new and strange take. Knowing Nvidia I highly doubt that is the reason.
This is only a couple weeks after most outlets reported on the shallow fart that was the 4060 launch.
I’m almost all cases where companies restrict review units or have release day embargoes it is because they are expecting lukewarm or worse response.
I don’t think Nvidia has done anything recently to deserve such a charitable view
Yeah, the article really doesn’t give context so everything is pure speculation on my end.
I hope this is positive for both the family and the guy who was found.
