This is correct, but still, fuck apple. What if I just prefer to turn my computer off instead of putting it into sleep mode? And how exactly am I supposed to wake up my computer from sleep if the power button is inaccessible? I know macs can be configured to wake up on keyboard/mouse activity, but that makes them too easy to wake up on accident.
If you browse linux communities long enough, you eventually start seeing openbsd users who condescendingly speak about linux the same way some linux users speak about windows lol. It’s turtles all the way down!
One time an update broke audio, and I spent like 15 minutes digging around in pipewire logs and weird config parameters before I realized that I was literally just muted lol. Pulseaudio has irrevocably conditioned me to assume that whenever there is no audio, it must be some obscure bizzare weird issue instead of something simple
btrfs subvolume snapshot / /snapshots/backup1 lol
Won’t save you from a bricked bootloader tho haha
I’m a Linux user, and I have “X11 decides to lock up the entire system irrecoverably for no reason” syndrome. Should probably look into wayland…
What on earth are you talking about?? Of course they don’t have to compete. It’s a meme. It’s meant to be funny, not accurate. What does my ego have to do with anything?
I really wish email had a built-in aliases feature. Like, so you can create unlimited new addresses that just point to your normal inbox. That would help so much with spam, since you could just block individual aliases. I know some email providers have this feature, but usually it’s paid. Plus Addressing is also nice, but it does nothing to hide your “real” address. Also I’m disappointed that end-to-end encrypted email is basically never used by normal people.
Why is this weird? “Apple” used to be the generic word for fruit in many different languages, it wasn’t until recently that it took on the meaning of a specific type of fruit. I don’t think calling potatoes “fruit of the earth” is at all strange. The English equivalent to this is the word “pineapple” – a fruit that kind of looks like a pine cone.
Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don’t agree with a Nazi.
TBH this is to be expected from a demographic made up largely of ex-reddit users
I’ve watched the whole video through, and honestly that felt like an underbaked take. People will have difficulty understanding federation? Seriously!? Surprise surprise, but if you know what email is, you already understand federation.
Maybe I’m confused, but from what I understand, “declarative” means you tell the computer what you want the final thing to look like, and “imperative” means you tell the computer what steps to take. So Dockerfile would be imperative because it’s a set of commands that are executed in-order to create the image. Meanwhile docker-compose.yml is declarative because you say which containers are used with what options and how they’re interconnected. IDK tho, as far as I understand the definitions aren’t that rigid
This (and systemd bugs) is the main reason I moved away from nixos on my homeserver. Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge docker-compose.yml for everything that I want to run. Would still recommend nixos for things that don’t require a lot of tweaking. Like if I had to set up a simple website for a small business or something. I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on in configuration.nix.
Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website… well then I guess whatever I was trying to read wasn’t really worth my time anyway.
Void on laptop, alpine on homeserver. Yep, checks out.
Love how the indian guy sitting meme perfectly sums up how I feel about alpine, nixos, and freebsd, even though those are completely different projects with different directions and goals. “It’s boring and it just works”.
Tangentially related, but I love how http://ai is an actual website that you can visit. We’re so used to thinking of websites as <something>.<tld> that it’s really weird to see a website hosted directly on a top level domain with no subdomain.
John Oliver did a nice explanation
Basically they pretend to have the wrong number, but then start chatting with you, gain your trust over a period of months, and then ask you for money or similar.
Yeah, it took me a while to realize it. Hence the deleted comment.
Goodness, your trolling is god-tier! It’s so funny seeing how many people in this thread, including op, are taking your comment at face value. It’s satire of the highest level: easy to miss as a bystander, yet devastating to the target.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe this is the intention. I think big companies deliberately put in confusing and bad design to “test the waters” and see if people will still buy their products. It’s the same with the apple mouse charging on the bottom, or why companies keep making their logos uglier with each iteration. It’s a psy-op to condition the masses into accepting worse products without complaining.
