Which one do you like better and why?

by binkHN 10mo ago
Largely the same here; as long as do regular maintenance on them to keep them relatively clean, clean out hair and related, they just run.

You should probably try KDE instead; I've been doing scaling for a couple years now, since I moved away from Windows, and it's excellent.

Post the patch in a country that doesn't care? I remember OpenBSD used to do something similar with encryption to get around US laws.

Google really screwed everyone that used this; it was marketed towards families/small groups, and now everyone is forced into Google Workspace with massive breakage for family-like stuff. Thanks Google.

This is a really great breakdown. With TPUs seemingly more efficient and costing less overall, how does this play for Nvidia? What's to stop them from entering the TPU race with their $5 trillion valuation?

I did this just recently; Windows is now adware and no longer in your best interests.

Sorry. I don't trust these guys. Some of my Linux laptops use their wireless hardware and the drivers are so poor that, YEARS later, Wi-Fi still doesn't work right.

Comcast USED to give up a /60 when requested; they now ignore the request and provide a /64.

by binkHN 11mo ago
In a nutshell, Comcast used to provide a /60 to residential customers and this could be subnetted into more than one LAN. Nowadays they only provide a single /64 and this can only be used for one subnet.

> SMS also has crazy weird limitations with messaging across countries due to ISP pricing Yeah, the carriers shot themselves in the foot here trying to monetize this and they opened the flood gates for replacements to come to fruition.

I can use email from multiple providers without issue and it interoperates nicely with anyone else who has an email address.

by binkHN 11mo ago
The fact that the "rest of the world" is using a messaging app that's owned by one company is ridiculous.

by binkHN 11mo ago
I actually took this to heart and deployed it natively on multiple VLANs in my home. Then, even with the abundance of address space, Comcast pulled the ability to use IPv6 in this manner and I'm back to to using NAT on all my VLANs exc

Yeah. I'm as frustrated as you are. I had an app in the app store even with all the restrictions around SMS, but there's simply no way to integrate with RCS, so this is basically Google's iMessage.

This is Microsoft's playbook from many years ago: embrace, extend, extinguish.

by binkHN 11mo ago
If Apple wasn't forced by the EU, they would try to preserve their walled garden as much as possible. iMessage is the prime example of this.

> Void require ... ongoing maintenance Strongly disagree on this one. All operating systems require maintenance of some sort, but you singled out Void and I find I'm doing far less maintenance with this one. Even with the venerable

by binkHN 11mo ago
What made you leave Void? I tried Debian, but I just couldn't do it; too dated and too many workarounds for the dated bugs. I tried Testing and Sid as well, but the only taste that I was left with was that these, somewhat obviously, ar

Don't use Ubuntu?

He's not wrong, but I gave up on Windows because I found Windows annoyances more annoying than Linux's annoyances. Then again, I buy hardware from companies that support Linux, and he didn't, so I've had fewer issues.

> Microsoft PowerToys Run Nice to see, though I gave up on Windows a short a while ago for Linux and KDE's Krunner is seriously awesome; even used it to do some trigonometry the other day!

You, kind of, don't have much of a choice. There's thousands of packages and it's a ton of work. In addition, as Linux continues to get more popular, more vendors are releasing software that doesn't care to work with new

I agree. To a large extent, the only people you'll see putting Chrome on their iPhones are the people who are cross platform on their laptops.

Happy to see the mention of Kotlin's memory safety features here; goes a bit beyond Java with its null safety, encouragement of immutability and smart casting.

I have something similar with dmesg spam and a possibly related issue, sadly: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3790
