In my experience often detriment. Most of the images for projects that I have been encountering as of late - hell, most Dockerfiles that I’ve been encountering - have hardware-specific config and packages. I just want a Dockerfile or maybe a docker-compose.yaml that is hardware neutral by default and doesn’t use the shitty throttled Dockerhub for its base image.

#!/bin/bash
# Build image and push to registry
docker build -t myproj:latest . && docker push myproj:latest

I can verify that the OS fails to see the microphone and webcam when switched off. This was really confusing the one time that I wanted to use them.

JFC. What is wrong with people? I just want to write code that works, is interesting, and doesn’t have memory problems.

any change to shell scripts that isn’t posix compatible brings opinionated people out the woodwork.

Yo. Did I hear someone breaking POSIX-compatability over here?

I, for one, really love HTTP over

First, I would like to give you some major props. Installing Arch, in itself, is a big deal. It is not a beginner-friendly distro. It is a very power-user friendly distro and has an incredible wiki that is helpful, at least to some degree, for many distros.

For a beginner distro, I would recommend Linux Mint for its easy transition and great focus on user experiences or Bazzite if you really want to install and get gaming.

When taking drivers in Linux, most are provided as either kernel modules (integrated into the kernel, so you don’t have to worry about installing anything) or packaged for the distro, in which case, once installed via package manager, they’ll auto-update whenever you update system packages. They are so much easier to deal with than Windows drivers (for the end user). For example, to use a Wacom drawing tablet, all one has to do is plug it in.

I use Arch BTW.

Gotta start em on something lighter. A gateway distro, if you will.

I’m more concerned about the non-consensual scraping causing excess load on the servers. The taking of content without license to train their energy-wasting autocomplete that is being used to for little commercially but to try to cheapen labor and pocket the money is a problem too. But I hate having servers impacted by their bullshit.

This explains our instance having perf issues.

Another (mostly joking) suggestion: Create propaganda supporting use of free, [libre,] open-source software and esoteric operating systems (like Plan9). While this is not directly related to conventional nation-state-vs-nation-state or political-ideology-vs-political-ideology topics generally central to propaganda, it may encourage people to make the digital and physical world a stranger place.

Life long windows user. I switched to Arch

Fuck. That’s like going straight from English breakfast tea to hash oil.

I’ve been using Linux almost exclusively both in my personal and professional life for a decade and a half. I only installed Arch a month or two ago.

I’m more into (neo)vim but that is beautiful.

Got it.

Ah yes. “Equal opportunities” of the old days, like being told to be out of town by sunset or you’ll be lynched, or firing women who get pregnant, or redlining neighborhoods and adding restrictions too deeds to prevent the “wrong sort” of people (aka anyone not white) from moving in.

“DEI Ideology” is a made-up boogie man that the far-right created as an excuse to discriminate against minorities and their allies, since being outright racist isn’t acceptable anymore. White conservatives are terrified of meritocracy.

EDIT: In hindsight, this may have come across as an attack on the other commenter. That was not the intent, nor was the intent to accuse them of the horrific crimes of the past. These were used as used as examples of the reality experienced by minorities and women throughout US history, including the latter half of the 20th century to the present (to a lesser degree).

Assumed it was either there or Palo Alto.

In the US, “anti-DEI” is nothing but thinly-veiled discrimination. It is used primarily by people with the skills, personality, and sociability of a slice microwaved Wonderbread who need something to hide behind to avoid taking responsibility for their failings as well as by literal neo-nazis to try out a facade of legitimacy for their discriminatory actions while signalling their socio-political stance to their fellow neo-nazis.

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s meaning is approximately:

Diversity - Efforts should be made to ensure diverse representation in the workplace, especially for groups that have historically suffered from discrimination. To this end, when skills and capabilities are approximately equal, those from groups that have suffered oppression should be favored. This both strengthens the workplace by adding different perspectives and helps to “rebalance” to correct for centuries of discrimination that have robbed these groups of opportunities.

A diverse workplace is stronger and more effective than a homogenous one, as proven by extensive sociological research.

Equity - People are different and may need assistance to put them on equal footing when they are otherwise equally capable to those who have greater societal representation. This could be as simple as ensuring that someone who needs glasses to read without eye strain is able to readily able to get them. Or it could mean ensuring that someone who has gender dysphoria (which can cause extraordinary mental health problems like anxiety and treatment-resistant major depression) is able to get the treatment that they need.

Inclusion - This is about the simplest of the three. Everyone should feel safe and valid in the workplace, regardless of their immutable characteristics.

When people say that they are “anti-DEI” in the US, they mean that they want a society where the only people with power are white, protestant men. They want a society where white, protestant men are favored over other all other groups and considered the “default” choice for anything. And they want a society where people who are different from them are afraid to participate because they may be arbitrarily punished and/or lynched.

When they claim that DEI is discriminatory and that they oppose discrimination, they are lying. Being forced to actually compete with others on even ground is terrifying to them and not being held above everyone else makes them think they are being oppressed.

What is the future of X.org if all the mainstream distros drop X11 for Wayland?

Retirement to the archives. The protocol is extremely dated and held together with duct tape. The maintainers are mostly also contributors to Wayland projects, where they are implementing features impossible with X11.

Is it blocking you? I pretty much exclusively use Gecko at this point and don’t have an issue yet.

Oh they’re pretty awesome and about 5 mins away. DVDs, music, academic journal access, seed exchange, and several streaming services, free to library patrons.

There are a number of reasons that the far-right and corpos hate libraries. The number of services that the provide to the community (in the US) is a major part of it. Libraries in bigger cities even tend to have social workers on staff to help patrons who are homeless or have other needs. They are one of the few places that anyone is allowed to exist during daylight hours without paying.
