  • My nightmare

    Jump

  • Fedora has a Gnome Shell extension that adds Fedora over the wallpaper.

    Shouldn't be hard to make your dreams a reality

  • Linus Comparison

    Jump

  • Pop_OS put in a patch that required you to create a file /etc/apt/break-my-system and Debian added a flag instead.

    My point was if someone is going to blindly follow an instruction to type that, they're just as likely to blindly follow an instruction to touch /etc/apt/break-my-system or an instruction to add --allow-remove-essential

    The Gnome software GUI, what the average user would use, didn't allow it.

    KDE realized Discover would have allowed it (after a warning), so that was fixed

  • Linus Comparison

    Jump

  • The GUI wouldn't let him break it, so he tried the command line.

    The command line required him to type, with punctuation "Yes, do as I say!" after a big warning.

    If an average user will do that, the "fix" of needing to create a file before being able to type "Yes, do as I say!" isn't going to change anything

  • Steam Hardware Announcement - (This is wild)

    Jump

  • They've already said the Frame will be cheaper than the Index, which is $999

    I doubt it's going to be much cheaper, but that's the ceiling from Valve's statements

  • When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?

    Jump

  • Valve doesn't have stocks

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

    Jump

  • The fucking gas lighting in this response

    Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them

    "We ran AI that may or may not have found a legitimate issue, and you're not looking into it for us fast enough. That's going to drive away new volunteers that we need"

  • Enter a postal address, I think you'll find it near-impossible

    Jump

  • Postal codes are also 10 characters long in the USA, but this only allows 8 entries...?

  • Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

    Jump

  • It's been a few years, I dont know if they ever fixed it...

    However, at least as of 2022, Wells Fargo (the 4th largest bank), had case insensitive passwords.

    If you made your password hUnTer2, you could also log in with HUNTER2, hunter2, HUntEr2, etc.

  • If it's the lower jaw doing the biting, are we using underbite and overbite, backwards?

    Jump

  • Wait, you lost me. Which is on which horizontal plane?

  • Do any of you know the RockChip SoCs well like the RK3388/RK3588?

    Jump

  • Collabora is actively working on upstreaming the Radaxa Rock 5B

    The TRMs are at least available online

    meta-rockchip, Linux kernel, and u-boot have upstreamed support for (most) interfaces - check upstream status here: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md

    ARM itself has uploaded the firmware for the GPU to linux-firmware

    There's work on the NPU going pretty well

    I've seen some work on an open TEE, but I don't need that for my project, so I haven't looked much into it

    Rockchip themselves are... Questionably open

    For the software side, I've found them decent. I do have to run latest and greatest Linux kernel and u-boot on our projects

    The hardware team wasn't so happy for your fab level, but we managed to get some designs working based off SoMs from Firefly

  • This just happened to me, and I did waste 1-2h because of it

    Jump

  • They are extremely effective at preventing PackageKit updates on my steam deck

  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

    Jump

  • Project Gutenberg has a large collection of public domain books

  • My computer randomly freezes, but only on my Linux drive. How do I even begin troubleshooting this?

    Jump

  • Maybe easier to another suggestion, you're probably using a systemd based distros -

    journalctl -b -1 will show you the logs from the previous boot, so you could check that after resetting to see if anything was logged

    For some other ideas to narrow down where the issue is...

    If you're stuck in the frozen state, you can Ctrl+alt+delete 7+ times quickly to tell systemd to try to restart the system. If this works, it means init was still able to process messages

    If that doesn't work, you could enable Magic Sysrq Key (if disabled in your distro), and then use the key sequence REISUB to try to see if the kernel is still responding and can reset the system

  • If you don't care about edit history, and only care about English, there are zim files w/ images for <150 GiB

  • Do you like systemd?

    Jump

  • service() { systemctl $2 $1 }

  • Why?

    Jump

  • Microsoft released Windows Vista, which was absolute dogshit on every PC at the time it was released.

    This also just happened to be not long after Ubuntu was released, making it easier than ever to install Linux.

    Installed it, quickly found out everything was easier to configure and tinker with in Linux...

    Never saw a reason to go back. Used Windows 7 for a little bit, and it was better than Vista, but it still wasn't anywhere near as easy to use as Linux

  • Is it?

    refresh makes it more clear than update that you're not updating the computer's packages, just the database of packages

    DPKG based distros also need dist-upgrade or full-upgrade, rather than just upgrade, when you are switching versions where removals might be needed
