  • GrapheneOS being targeted by France

    Jump

  • Speaking of unsubstantiated accusations, do we have actual, reliable information about what is really going on? Any link in either French or English appreciated.

  • What are the best reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

    Jump

  • Too lazy.

  • Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work.

    Jump

  • ...though I'd like to add that, in the original post, 'at work' == 'at someone else's company'

  • Good point, thanks for the insights

  • Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work.

    Jump

  • That's ... THE one argument that (mostly) vindicates my theory. It is a friggin' 'requirement' because it makes you replaceable/disposable. If you think otherwise, I'm legit interested on why you think companies have your, not their, best interests in mind.

    Jump

  • My point is (almost) exactly the opposite: I'd argue that any of those non-specialists can be replaced at any time with other non-specialists (best case scenario), or with bootlickers, nutjobs and yay-sayers (worst case scenario). In other words, you shouldn't aspire to be the one your boss delegates every shitty piece of 'work' he can think of, rather, to be THE one everyone else in the company has to wait for if they want X or Y done.

  • A New Epoch of Solus

    Jump

  • Funny, just a couple of nights ago, I was wondering if this distro still exists. I tried it some 5 years ago and I found it sleek, but its reliance on systemd made me migrate.

  • What would you do with a device like this

    Jump

  • NetBSD. This box seems to have a vanilla x86 processor and it has plenty of resources (for NetBSD, that is). You can't use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough to learn UNIX and/or self-host some stuff.

  • Too lazy to code currently

    Jump

  • I'm very proud of you, for that simply means that you don't want to become a modern slave, and therefore, that your brain still works.

  • If chickens are modern dinosaurs some dinosaurs probably tasted like chicken.

    Jump

  • Anyone here in the mood for a tasty, crispy, roasted Compsognathus?

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • Fuck this expresso depresso life, but double fuck all these assholes.

    Jump

  • Satan himself expressed it eloquently and wisely via his official Twitter (I refuse to use the new, stupid name) account: 'Suicide is never the answer. You gotta outlive your enemies'.

  • ParanoidAndroid was the perfect name for a privacy focused android custom rom

    Jump

  • I actually fell into that trap.

  • Why aren't those into bondage and S/M called "leatherosexuals"?

    Jump

  • It's Monday, but I already know what the 'best thing I've read all week' is.

  • Austria's Armed Forces Gets Rid of Microsoft Office (Mostly) for LibreOffice

    Jump

  • I wasn't a big fan of GNU initiatives, and even less of 'viral licenses', until I encountered Public Money, Public Code. The more you think about it, the more fucked up it appears to you that governments pay for Windows/365/AWS licenses, using your tax money, because decision makers haven't got the slightest clue about FLOSS, and if they do, they mostly don't have the nutsack to implement the sweeping changes that would be necessary to migrate.

  • [Jenny Gorelick] Co-Stars

    Jump

  • WTF is that last name.

  • Bacteria may kill us entirely, but we will never kill bacteria entirely

    Jump

  • Hospitals are dangerous for children, the elderly and immuno-compromised patients not because of risk of contagion, but because the bacteria that have survived the aggressive chemicals hospital surfaces are cleaned with are the strongest ones (shamelessly plagiarised from my 8th-grade chemistry teacher).

  • How to solve wi-fi problem on Macbook Air mid 2013?

    Jump

  • I used to have a mid-2012 MBP and its broadcom WiFi card was either not working at all (all BSDs and some Linuces) or working, but at ridiculous speeds and providing a very flaky connection (Red Hat derivatives). I settled for a USB wi-fi adapter. I found the Netgear ones to be more reliable. If you live in Europe, Technoethical (no relationship) has one adapter that uses the pretty generic Atheros driver.

  • OSS PDF editor/markup software recommendations

    Jump

  • Atril and xpdf don't have any markup capabilities, but Okular has. You can install Okular regardless of what desktop environment you are using.

    Do you know of a dating app which caters primarily to heterosexuals, respects your privacy, doesn't use analytics and doesn't require G00g13 services to function properly?

    The number of times a person mentions ChatGPT in a random real-world conversation might work as a rule of thumb to measure her intelligence (inverse proportion, of course)

    Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example
