    I used Linux daily for 20 years.

    Linux may be ready, the mainstream software isn't.

    Are you working with Adobe? Good luck.

    Want to play some multiplayer game? Good luck, again.

    Oh yes, chrome and Firefox run fine. Just disregard LibreOffice, it's disappointing.

    Unfortunately not.

    I say that not because I hate Russians.

    I hate the Russians that fly to Maldives and act like they own the place and are constantly rude to Maldivians, other tourists and leave trash behind when they leave.

    The more I read about this Reagan, the more it seems he was not fit to run as president, probably Trump did less damage to the country than him, and that's a very low bar.

    I wonder if America gets worse manufacturing, all the people complaining Logitech mice failing after a couple of years. While mine I have to kill them myself or gift around because they last so much and I like the new cool G series mouse.

    The thing is that 1GB of a "driver" contains about 20 MB of actual mouse driver, but also all the drivers for all their other mice, keyboards, webcams, joysticks, driving wheels, loudspeakers (but why?), headphones, etc.

    I like they consolidated their Logi Hub software, but it's HEAVY.

  • Is true. Just open the bible.
  • pascal pascal Now 100%

    The problem when you bash millions of people is that your claims against the group becomes untrue very quickly. The Christians in my neck of the woods are generally supportive of women who want to get abortions.

    That's true.

    Even in Italy, house of the Vatican, home of the Pope, with 60% of Italians being Catholic Christians, abortion is perfectly legal since 1978 and no one even thinks about making it illegal.

    If you had a Sound Blaster 16, you had an extra IDE port on the board, which DOS couldn't see and you had to load special drivers to use them. Usually it was used for the CD-ROM.

    I don't want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.

    But just to add something, I didn't say he's a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he's a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

    I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I'm not the average "I'm using Arch btw" Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

    If I wasn't a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That's how I prefer Linux.

    Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

    In some European countries, the authorities are taking rigorous action against film and music piracy. Even downloading a single file can lead to fines, criminal proceedings and warnings. In Switzerland, the legal situation is somewhat different. Here, you can download or stream certain content from the internet without paying for it under certain circumstances.

    line 32: found character that cannot start any token

    Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command. Today I tried again, using the Docker method, I correctly downloaded all the files, but as soon as I run "docker compose up" I get the error "/lemmy/docker-compose.yml: yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token" That's usually a common error if the yaml file contains TABs instead of spaces, but it's not the case here. So, again I'm lost and I'm looking for someone here that can bring me some light on the issue, it would be very appreciated.

    According to this third party reviewer, the LTT stubby is as good as the PB Swiss (considered one of the best tool makers and I agree) and also $20 cheaper.

    Digitec is considered the "Amazon of Switzerland", is the most popular online shop for technology with decent prices, but also often posts articles, reviews and previews. It helps since Amazon doesn't exist in Switzerland (Swiss people often buy from Amazon German or Amazon Italy). I honestly didn't expect the LTT news to reach such mainstream news.

    They have approximately now lost over 5000 subscribers which equates to about $25000 per month or $300000 per year in lost revenue.

    Hi, if you're trying to build lemmy from scratch, on debian (not ubuntu), and you're following this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/from_scratch.html There are a few corrections I would like to point you. Install those two things before following the guide: `apt install sudo` Of course, 'sudo' is not installed by default on Debian, so I guess it would be a good idea to install it. `sudo apt install build-essential ` This will install the 'cc' compiler needed by Rust. `sudo apt install protobuf-c-compiler protobuf-compiler` This is needed to compile opentelemetry-proto.
