The only people who wonder about the year of the Linux desktop are the people who don't use Linux :) We Linux users are happily using it already and don't really care what other people use.

Linux phones are a niche within a niche. Marketing won't do anything to change that. Most people are satisfied with iPhones and Androids, and the few that aren't are mostly satisfied with degoogled Androids.

"replacement for iPhone and Android" are your words, not theirs. And as for the PP the manufacturer has always been very explicit about it: https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-beta-edition-with-conve... >

Yes they do need to understand it. If you believe you don't need or want to understand it, then Linux phones are not for you. It's okay. Really. Not everything has to be for everyone, and evidently Linux phones are not for you. Pl

It'll be fixed when the number of "but they denied my appeal with a short template response" drops to 0. A template response means they didn't even read the appeal, which has nothing to do with the original false positiv

I switched away from OPNsense because it's insecure and its maintainers are incompetent. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34839161 It's basically a Manjaro vs Arch situation. FreeBSD is fine, but these downstr

Well, that's only a problem if you're also constantly buying new devices that could use those standards. Eg everything that connects to my home wifi is a/b/g/n max so I just got an old ath9k wifi card for my router.

I also use Debian 12 for my home router (switched away from OPNsense). It's an old PC that became redundant when I built a new one, now stripped down to just the motherboard in a benchtable. The LAN NIC is an Intel I350 card and wifi i

TFA says "Azure website" so I don't know what specific resource type it's referring to. At least with CDN Endpoints, Azure forces you to delete the CNAME record before you can delete the CDN Endpoint. They made that chan

Alas all my stuff is in Azure, and I'm still waiting for them to offer smaller VM sizes comparable to their existing B line. I currently use a B1s (1 CPU 1GiB) that comes to ~$5/mo while the cheapest ARM VM would be ~$25/mo (

I only knew about it because a popular mod Space Exploration for the video game Factorio has its wiki hosted on it. Actually even then I never went up to miraheze.org to look at the rest of the site.

"Blocking" == "can be completed immediately" in this context, ie whether the equivalent syscall would complete immediately or if it would return EAGAIN. So if the operation can be completed immediately, it will be comple

That wouldn't work for caddy if you also follow the best practice to have a CAA record pointing to the issuer and account URL, unless caddy is also managing DNS records in addition to being an HTTP server. (I don't know if it is,

That is not a difference in behavior between distro packages and upstream Firefox. If an update gets installed then FF requires you to restart it. So just like the upstream binary's updater doesn't install the update while you&#x2

1. My point was about using upstream software, not about the Audacity flatpak specifically. Audacity binaries downloaded from upstream's website have the problem I mentioned. 2. The Audacity flatpak is maintained by a Flathub dev only

If a file is opened with `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` then it can be deleted while held open. This flag has existed since forever. It's just that unlike Linux this isn't the default, and no developer would think of setting it. I think the

Maintaining a firefox fork is a much bigger job than putting `--with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app --allow-addon-sideload` in the package build script. Distros already share effort implicitly because maintainers of distro X often look at what d
