  • Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome

    Jump

  • Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn't make enough money, that's why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.

    Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from

  • San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code

  • Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something

  • Check out Distrobox or Toolbox

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

    Jump

  • It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn't necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don't offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.

    There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.

    No one knows

  • Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1

    For me it has been since 2012.

  • Torrent client rankings

  • My private tracker has multiple transmission versions on their approved list 🤷‍♂️

  • Why would I want those extra features in my torrent client? My transmission runs in a container and does its job

  • Didn't get it until July this year. The kids brought it through the house in 2021, by some miracle of vaccination the wife and I didn't catch it then. Then the wife brought it home. Was pretty mild for both of us. We've kept our boosters up and we're in Australia so it didn't go nuts here until omicron

  • PipeWire 1.0 Planned For Release Later This Year

    Jump

  • Pipewire has been great, except for some edge cases

    Still got passthrough issues 2years later

  • UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible

    Jump

  • it is my understanding that our sucky Assistance and Access Act, is fundamentally different, it compels developers provide back doors where it will not systemically undermine the system. To my understanding the UK one requests "breaking" e2ee in its entirely - which is why services like Signal were considering full exiting the region?

  • What does Bluesky have that Mastodon doesn't?

    Jump

  • without hashtags, I cant discover anything on bluesky, its made discoverability so much harder than mastodon imho

  • Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series and Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee

    Jump

  • the money is drying up, gotta find new ways to monetise

  • UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible

    Jump

  • If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we'd be living in a utopia by now.

    They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there's been other countries trying the same BS

    I can hardly wait

  • Hey Beavis.. Eheheh, I'm a skull now. This kicks ass!

  • Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

    Jump

  • It doesn't even need to be a script you could just alias the 2 commands on a single line to a command in bashrc

  • What's something that you were surprised to find out a lot of people hate?

    Jump

  • People who hate them have never driven them

  • Blasphemy!

    Jump

  • Yes... Microsoft hearts Linux... When it runs in azure selling CPU cycles or maybe WSL

  • Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised?

    Jump

  • Move to silverblue/kinoite and when the urge to use another DE just rebase the OStree to the other branch - Silverblue for Gnome, Kinoite for KDE, Sericea for sway, Vauxite for xfce and there are some other not yet official branches for other DEs on Quay
