It’s akin to when everything is urgent, nothing is.
At one point, you gotta accept that you can’t do everything and move on. You can always re-find the information if it comes down to it in the future. Or you can use bookmark folders to be able to eventually go back to what you think is important.
If I have more than 6-7 tabs open, I check what I need to absolutely save and add that to a bookmark folder, then I close my browser and start fresh.
You gotta be nimble to navigate through 50+ tabs to find what you are looking for
Laziness. I used Ubuntu, then tried a few distros based on it, and Linux Mint worked well enough out of the box.
I have a few issues with it, but i have easy workarounds so that’s good enough for me.
What a fucking leap. CLI does not equal complexity.
If you can write and read, you can use a CLI. Can you read and write? Great, you can learn CLI cmds.
People don’t want to use CLIs because unless you’ve been using computers before windows 95, chances are that all your life you’ve been using a GUI, and humans in general don’t like changes.
Going from Windows to any Linux distro is a big enough leap, and adding a new way to interact with your tool on top of that is too much at once for the vast majority of people.
With that said, a lot of Windows issues require you to use the CLI and mess with regedit to fix them. How is that any different than asking people to run a diagnostic command to troubleshoot their PC?
You can use a Linux distro through a GUI pretty much 99.9% of the time, just like Windows. The only difference is that on Linux, the CLI is much more powerful than the GUI, so the majority of users will use the CLI to troubleshoot.
Yeah, but regedit is a GUI. So it’s all cool and dandy.
I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.
But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.
To be fair, I couldn’t tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don’t use it that much.
You don’t see how terrible Windows is until you’ve switched to another OS and need to interact with it again.
The constant pop-ups, the ads everywhere, the settings hidden away.
It really feels like your PC isn’t yours.
I split my docker containers so that I can selectively backup what I want easily on proxmox
For example, I am currently running an Abiotic Factor server that I don’t care to backup. So I just dont add the container to the backups and I am done.
Proxmox is a great starting point for self hosting. You don’t need advanced features to start, and you can easily create VMs and containers.
Steam is selling lootbox and profiting from cs skins gambling. Pretty fucking scummy.
You can’t become a billionaire ethically. Steam has a pretty big market for lootboxes and cs skins gambling is pretty widespread.
Valve isn’t a walled garden. They allow other apps to be launched through their app and devs can sell steams key on other platforms.
It is still a mega corp, but trying to attack it from the walled garden angle is pretty dumb.
Because nobody enforces the law. There are so many mega corpos that needs to be broken up, but it doesn’t happen.
I agree with you that Linux has issues, but so does Windows and MacOS.
My point is that we usually use the same OS for years, so switching to any other OS will have its quirks. You don’t really see your OS quirks anymore because you’ve learned to work around through experience.
Every OS has their issues though. You take people that have decades of experience in an OS and ask them to change to a different workflow. So yeah, they won’t be proficient the second they load Linux.
You can create a infinite number of scenarios where there are issues with Linux, but the same can be done about Windows and MacOS
I was thinking the same, where?
You can share my tinfoil if you’d like. I got enough for both of us.
If they change course in the next 5 years, so be it. But right now, Jeep took some dev time to develop this, meaning they plan to use it at some point.
They deserve to lose the trust of the consumer because they gave us a peek behind the curtain and it fucking sucks.
Stop being pro-corpo, they are not your friend and they will piss on your corpse if that means they get a dollar more.
I love how that saying this is a software glitch is somehow supposed to make it okay? Motherfuckers, you took time and money to develop the thing. In doesn’t matter that it wasn’t supposed to be deployed right now. It matters that it was developed at all.
This is my tinfoil opinion, but I wouldn’t be surprised that it was done on purpose to gauge the public reaction and setting the pace of rollout.
The timing is too perfect knowing damn well that Republicans won’t legislate that.
The tech itself is great.
But:
