To be fair, no one should hold in their sneezes.

Still, sneezing into a tissue (or at least the sleeve) is just good manners and protects everyone around.
Explode away!
13·6 days agoSometimes I wish media organisations would report with the same hunger about every tiny, little unimportant feature in software I’m involved with.
Then again, it isn’t millions of people using my stuff.
Who wants such a girlfriend? Not a sustainable relationship.
On the pro side, if done well, they outlast every tar road by centuries.
I wonder what the incident 24.653.153.012 days ago was.
99% sure it - or large parts of it - are AI generated.
But in this case it’s the content that counts, not the artistry.
I would throw in the argument that the pace at which innovation happens is fostered by competition.
That’s not the only motivation, of course. There’s curiosity, passions, social movements, etc. But market pressure seems to be a huge driver.
Sure, but in the meantime I need to work with what I have… which is Intel (on some machines, at least).
SVN is still great if there is a need for strict access controls and central control matters a lot. Auditing is also a bit easier with SVN.
It caters more for a linear workflow, though. So modern large teams won’t find joy with SVN.
Gitlab, Gogs, Gitea… you can run all those locally.
Sadly, quite a few things. Here’s a few:
- Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
- One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
- Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
- Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
- Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
- Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn’t always an out-of-the-box experience
- Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.
Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.
151·2 months agoPersonally I find that linking “making money” with “climbing the social ladder” is at the core of many of our issues.
Going even further, ranking each other based on factors like wealth, education, occupation, influence, etc. is degrading and leads to inequality, corruption and emotional/mental health problems, to name a few. The idea that success is measured almost exclusively by economic gain and social rank distorts human values.
To get encryption one must start a “secret chat”. It’s an opt-in! Regular users will not even know the option exists, that’s how well hidden it is.
Regular chats? Plainly readable on the server.
Most of the alternatives mentioned have such low adoption that they aren’t truly viable options yet - no matter how much we wish otherwise.
And I say that not as a critic - I actually use Matrix, XMPP, and Jitsi myself. But guess how many of my friends, family, or colleagues are on them?
Exactly.
That’s why I recommend Signal. At least there, people are likely to find folks they already know.
I features, yes. By 10 miles.
Privacy? It isn’t driving anymore at this point.
How… how did he do this? 🤯
