I don’t use Windows anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those “Linux purists”, if other people wanna use Windows, go ahead. But I’m not using it. I swear to god, if it becomes mandatory to use Windows at my company, I’m leaving the next day.

OK, that’s the first reasonable explanation I’ve come across. I wish Greg Linus didn’t reply in that kind of “angry” tone, because for some of us it’s not that obvious.

I’m almost going full circle now, I’m buying a camera and a Music player to use as separate devices from my phone. Not only smartphones are getting expensive as hell, but the usability is actually getting worse IMHO.

And why is it so fucking awful to setup an automated pipeline to deploy smartphone apps (Android and iOS)?

Trump: Can I take your order please?

Putin: I’ll have a number 6 with extra dip

Kim: I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda

I’ve tried a lot of different DAWs already, Cubase/Nuendo, ProTools, Logic, Reaper, FL Studio, Bitwig, Ableton, Studio One, just to name a few. I’ve worked professionally only with Cubase, Pro Tools and Logic. I hated every minute I used Logic. Cubase being the best for composing and Pro Tools for recording and mixing. Studio One is very mature right now and that’s what I’m testing, since they now have a Linux beta. I tried Ardour before and unfortunately it doesn’t come even close to being as good as a “real” professional DAW. Even Logic was more pleasant to use than Ardour. I really wanted to like it, but it was not a very pleasant experience.

Free Download Manager was pretty rad. Being able to resume the download later was a life saver for dial-up connections. I remember that it took me almost a week to download Gunbound.

Any chance of this having a Plasma 6 Global Theme?

Windows Recall + Kernel level anti-cheat. How could it possibly go wrong, amirite?

Oh no, it’s not. As much as I hate Elon Musk, Alexandre de Moraes is a criminal. Some of the accounts he is trying to ban are specifically talking about some of his criminal activities. He unconstitutionally blocked Starlink some days ago because Elon Musk is part of the board. He ordered the blocking of ALL VPN services because he didn’t want people to access Twitter. That creates a TERRIBLE precedent, even if you agree that what he was doing in the first place was right. He already blocked Telegram and have been censoring everyone who says anything against him. As a Brazilian, it’s really conflicting to see all this going on. Elon Musk is an idiot and Moraes is a criminal.

I hope “normal people” start exploiting that decision too. Training AI to consume stuff from big corporations and using the result to create open source/copyright free stuff from copyrighted works.

It’s funny because every post I see on Reddit/X/Lemmy/Mastodon it’s full of comments “LINUX CLIENT WHEN?” lmao

Man, I wished they focused on Drive and Calendar. Still no Linux client for Drive :/

This is not about the App Store service’s quality, this is about option. They could charge 50% for all I care, if we had the option to buy iOS apps from another store other than Apple’s.

Now this is the real solid advice

I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

I don’t know exactly about Woodpecker CI because I haven’t used it very much, but GitHub Actions is Beta software. Has A LOT of bugs, no QoL features, spaghetti codebase, the Runners are AWFUL to selfhost… and I could go on.

And it would be even more useful with Windows than SteamOS, Windows only has the desktop mode.

Well said! The people behind the Steam Deck are passionate about gaming and making a device they would use.

That’s a good point! Apple, Samsung and others have been destroying the consumer electronics space for years.

I agree. First we need to solve the Linux compatibility issues, then we can start thinking about new CPU architectures. It would have been too much to deal with at the same time.
