  • with default btrfs zstd compression here, i save a whole 2 percent on game install directories..but 48 percent elsewhere (trixie kde, ~ 2800 dpkg + flatpaks. 'documents' are on a diff filesystem)

  • my 1st gen is still going. it's i7 and 32gb ram so still plenty good for what i need it to do (hell, so is the older athlon next to it, ftm), even with the unsupported 'upgrade' and ancient hdd for boot and storage. i have a spare identical mb and cpu, just in case. i have better systems, i just like that one. we have a long history together and everything is right where i want, and expect, it to be.

  • you ain't gonna convince any of the majority of people who don't want the ballroom in the first place, to approve of a different use of the same fucking space as a facility to keep an ailing moron-in-chief alive.

  • so that explains the huge number of updates i just pulled in on a brand new (less than two days old) netinst install.

  • never been a fan of them myself, but then i don't sit in a terminal (or rather, multiple terminals) all day, either. those days are long behind me. i very much prefer a traditional stacking wm, and also one that remembers window geometry and locations, too--a trick windows has done since forever, but gnome and kde still require addons to pull off.

  • i think the stroke he suffered before his election really messed him up. he has not been the same since.

  • voting against their own best interests. it's what they do.

  • very much so.

  • i would counter that customizing one's desktop keeps more than a few users from switching (back) to something else. they enjoy it. let 'em do it. doing so will get them on the terminal at some point anyway and they'll learn by doing.

  • did they just 'restructure' themselves into irrelevance and unsustainable subscriber loss?

  • ente has no reason to 'lie'. they aren't reddit or google with ads and tracking bullshit everywhere while shoveling hosted ai crap at every tap. it has e2e with user-controlled keys, optional on device 'ai' features, and is self-hostable.

  • i dunno. people could have accepted the 'contest' and submitted nothing but gross-out and r34 entries.

  • i think iot would be the 'safer' option for a 'stripped-down' install. void of nearly all the crud, it still gets updates (important for windows) and can still game and run anything.

  • those "morons" represent the vast majority of internet users.

  • bad actors use shorteners to mask the actual url of their pages so their potential victims don't know where they're going until it is, perhaps, 'too late'

  • i don't even have to work that hard to avoid it. there's no soccer here. there aren't many that follow it. the local school doesn't field a team, there isn't a youth soccer program either. it's either hockey season or conditioning-and-training for next hockey season.

  • Opening the shortened URL in your browser will instantly redirect you to the correct long URL. (So no stupid redirection pages.)

    an interstitial or redirect page would be a security feature, especially for a shortener open to the public.

  • there's a backdoor built right into bitlocker in the form of 'recovery keys'--and for most users, microsoft knows what they are.

  • i am, too. doesn't mean you have to use chrome for everything else. i keep it to just that, testing when i need to, and then also only from inside a virtualized environment.
