at what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals?

The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ICE agents” has me think too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately

Yeah this is another rugpull meant to allow the rich to get richer on the money of idiots

Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

yeah a fresh windows 11 install has like 20 different control panels, all built at different times by different teams using different UI toolkits. It’s basically their philosophy to not unify anything but instead just keep bolting new things to different pieces of the OS, no matter how similar

yeah many linux systems will run fsck on mount as well if that same thing is detected, it’s not a windows specific thing

Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

no, then he would have said snapcraft

Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub

But what sort of demon is the power bottom

Unfortunately when they do that there it’s censored with pixelation though

“wanted people to work ahead”

Ah yes “not fucking doing my job that people are taking loans out for and pay off for years to come”

Fuck that “professor.” A college degree is an overpriced commodity and they are falsely charging students by not teaching them the course

I also sort of blame it on the social media culture of being “constantly connected.” In some workplace cultures, (especially outside the dev space), not being constantly visible and grinning is the same as not consistently posting happy updates on your feed and consuming them.

I remember in my last job we had an “open office” plan after buying and renovating a huge space, and I found a niche little area to set up my desk without people staring at me and when people came to ask me questions they would say shit like “oh so this is where you’re hiding!”

Yes, on company property in the main workroom seated at my company desk using my company computer.

Thankfully my new job is fully remote, so fuck all that weird social noise when at the end of the day I’m just whoring my brain and fingers out so I can pay my rent and buy groceries

Also now your boss can stare at you from his glass office door and see if you’re laughing too much and then Lumbergh you

The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps

Because it avoids this

It’s the baseline of UNIX, with Linux maintaining most compatibility, meaning servers around the world, desktop environments including MacOS and GNU/Linux, gaming machines (including video game consoles like PlayStation and Steam Deck), mobile devices like Android and Apple Devices, mainframe computing systems, embedded systems, so on and so forth. It makes up the backbone of our technology infrastructure. It continues to be iterated on, and is tightly bound with the C programming language and its improvements and iterations.

For my dev environment I’ve had great success combining home-manager and their integration with

https://mise.jdx.dev/

Sure, it doesn’t quite fit the nix philosophy perfectly, but everything is still in my home.nix file and my home directory, and and I can swap tool versions on the fly and direct IntelliJ to their locations pretty easily

One of the best insults I’ve heard I saw here on lemmy which was “you look like the halfway point on an Animorphs cover”

Gotta pick a new OS for the workstations. ipad

It might mostly be the banks, but I know of one gas station near me that hits that max hold, and then seconds after I’m done filling, the charge quickly switches to 30 or so dollars I put in. Whereas the other gas station that hold stayed there for almost a day. My guess is intermediary card processors play a part as well. I also learned place number 2 sells fake BIC lighters, so I don’t go there anymore.
