Thx

I’m in the same camp. I have home servers that run linux and it works great there, but on the desktop I’ve run into a surprising amount of stability issues. It’s honestly worse than it was 20 years ago in that regard.

Hello, I am wondering if I could get a stranger on the internet to let me know if I should use Linux. I just wish more people would literally just say “Use Linux”.

It’s got lots of uses:

• driving up fossil fuel revenues
• providing a solid excuse for laying off a bunch of employees
• disciplining labor
• offloading blame for unpopular decisions
• increasing surveillance and nonconsensual data collection

Lots of trash driving around Mercedes here in the US. Just happens to be trash with a lot of money

When you want to feel special but not enough to go to the effort of using FreeBSD

I also had a few “what the fuck is going on with her legs” moments, but I’m on a PC with a 27" Dell UltraSharp monitor so I have no excuse

Wat?

Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn’t care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.

Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What’s wrong with him is that he’s a fascist.

I had a co-worker who said he didn’t want a woman to be president because “she’d start a war every month.” I guess he’s not really misogynist like I thought.

It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.

Follow the guidelines as mentioned in freedesktop

Which guidelines are you talking about? Searching for “proxy” and “environment variables” didn’t pull up anything I saw that would be relevant in this case. I’ve been using linux for a couple of decades now and I’m not sure what rule is being broken here.

It sounds like you didn’t have a proxy set in your environment variables, but you did have one set through another means. It’s somewhat standard practice to have fall-through settings, where if settings aren’t set in one place, a program looks in another place, then maybe another, etc. Now admittedly it would be nice to have a way to disable functionality entirely, but usually that kind of thing happens with command line flags.

I get that it’s frustrating to deal with a problem like this, but ultimately your environment was misconfigured, and that’s going to break some software.

I feel like most of tech had already sold out by 2014. Really by the late aughts it seemed to be all gone; that was when apple and its philosophy had taken hold. Not that apple was the only force in that direction, it just felt like the apotheosis of the greedy and controlling mentality. MS had plenty of greed, but they were willing (in some circumstances) to play ball. Google seemed to love interoperability in the early-to-mid aughts, but look at it now.

I feel like Kurt Cobain would think this was hilarious

As seen in last US election, voting for the ideal candidate meant the worse candidate won.

Is there actual evidence for this? Was there a higher than usual vote for 3rd party candidates in this election, and has that been determined to be the cause of Harris losing? Legit curious.

https://massgrave.dev/ works just fine with ltsc as well and https://www.pcrf.net/ can always use more money

I do think there will have to be some cutting back, but it provides capitalists with the ability to discipline labor and absolve themselves (I would never do such a thing, it was the AI what did it!) which might they might consider worth the expense.

How did the breaker not trip on that? It had one job

Not quite the same thing, but there’s a project that lets you use TPM to protect your host keys: https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent

[edit: its primary function is to work with clients but buried in the readme it also explains how to use it for host keys]
