I wonder how will Yandex Mail work after this (or maybe currently?) in regards to data protection. I know there exists mail.yandex.com and mail.yandex.ru... is the former, or will it be, based in the Netherlands, meaning that access from we

The same claims can be made about cameras made in the west, and as somebody living in the west, I prefer to have my video streamed to some random Chinese guy than to somebody from my government.

Could this idea be used, for example, to power a landline phone like it was done with POTS? So no external power was needed for the phone and it even worked in the event of a blackout.

Of course it's not the distro's fault but they can improve its robustness making that failures during the process (like in the step #3 from your comment) are handled in a way so that the entire update is rolled back. I guess this

Yes, installing things manually is always an option (even in Ubuntu!), but I wondered if in Pop it was an option to "apt install firefox" and get your package installed the "old way", with no sandboxing, using shared lib

Shouldn't your distro know that yours is a Nvidia card, and make the necessary to avoid that you boot into a black screen after upgrading your system using the standard procedure?

Does Pop OS allow you to install software that Canonical forces through snap, like Firefox or Chromium, using the distribution's package manager (apt or whatever)?

> So seems it'll only run in Linux, as it's a requirement to have Ubuntu WSL running beforehand. Yes, it'll only run in Linux, but only when that Linux is also running inside Windows.

by severino 3y ago
Yep, didn't read that. In the meantime, kudos to Canonical (and other parties) who helped Microsoft with WSL. Now they can also use Linux to produce Windows-only software! :D

But can you get this to run in Linux? From the article I can see it's a VSCode extension or something like that but the name kind of implies it's Windows only.

Probably Russia is ok with this too. Russian money that was going to the EU (and later used against Russian interests) will now go to somewhere else, maybe to friendlier countries.

Why give your money back to a company that treated you like that? It's not that Hetzner is doing this because they care about victims, war, etc., no, it's purely political, as they will not be terminating contracts with American o

I don't think there is any EU sanction related to Yandex. I could always access it (with my default ISP settings, no VPN nor anything like that) and I don't know of anybody who couldn't, at least from inside the EU.

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if they just standarized one type of "Linux installer" package that contained everything and then let every distro decide how they wanted to install it? Be it in a classical way where you just grab th

Too bad they're going Github, indeed. Keeping away those users that won't be willing (or able) to contribute to the project unless it's hosted on GitHub is something desirable, in my opinion.

You mean confluence won't run in your jvm with a default 128mb heap? Then I guess so, I'm not aware of any way a java application can automatically increase the heap size of the vm it's running in.

So? Don't address issues coming from Linux reporters if you think it's not worth it. But note that those reports may be bugs affecting users from other platforms as well.

Out of curiosity, in your projects where you use PHP with frameworks such as Laravel, do you do server-side rendering, or SPA applications? I prefer the former but I wonder what's the trend now for the people into Symphony, Laravel, et

In those cases, does one keep the application-level pool at each pod, in addition to the "communal" PgBouncer pool, or does not offer any advantage?
