Using the latest Ubuntu lts is company policy if you want to use Linux. All support for x11 is removed from gnome, you can’t even change x11 anymore. I switch workspaces all the time, like web browser in one, dev env and terminal, so constantly switching, 50% of the time it will miss the key up event from your keyboard and it’s registering that you are holding the key down.

Gnome randomly crashes, for instance sometimes clicking on a link that someone sent you, just randomly crashes gnomes, happened yesterday. So all the processes you started via gnome is gone, you need to reopen all your tools again, happens at least 6 times a week.

Sometimes gdm doesn’t work, so you can’t login, you have to open another tty and reset gdm in the other session. It’s so bad, never had these issues before in x11, sure there were bugs, but not annoying bugs.

Driver issues or not, it’s annoying as fuck. Gnome developers (redhat or whoever sells support for gnome) implementing the display server, gg.

The gnome implementation that I’m forced to use is god damn awful. This whole eventbus implementation is so bad, it misses events and doesn’t always register key-up, when I’m switching workspaces. I do it a lot, and the key gets stuck spamming the same letter, because it didn’t register key up!! Hell sometimes it doesn’t register keydown, super annoying when writing passwords.

Random crashes of gnome happens more often than I would like to admit, and all that you’ve been working on is gone aswell. What a garbage design, why the fuck should the wm own the processes, I swear the wayland people live on a another planet.

And the whole permissions thing to ensure privacy, mf this is linux, stop making me do workarounds for shit that you won’t allow, because you haven’t implemented the correct support for it.

I’m running Ubuntu 24.04, thing fucking sucks, I’m forced by work. Dude x11, just worked, like Wayland solved anything at all.

“For training purposes”, do you know how many other purposes they have? For research, for improvement, for genuine interests, for selling, for people who can’t read between the lines.

There are actually companies (very few) that work with migrating large cobol code bases to java, in a automated manner. And it costs a lot, hundreds of millions and it takes a couple of years. They ensure that the cobol and java execution is doing the same thing. So it works, but it’s shit. Many do this because it’s hard to find cobol developers and the cost of IBM mainframes.

Anyways the code turns into cobol style in Java, horrible and hard work with, would never like to maintain it.

Yeah right, by your History, you mean: Germany will not acknowledge any genocide, because they are trying to evade paying reparations for the genocides they committed in parts of Africa.

Art is subjective, AI is a buzzword, if statements are considered AI, especially in the gaming world.

And the current state of LLMs and what are the smartest and brightest in the industry have only managed to produce utter trash, while sacrificing the planet and its inhabitants. I like your daughter more, she will create more value and at the same time not be a total corporate tool, ruining the planet for generations to come, mad respect.

(not calling you a tool, but people who work with LLMs)

I understand that are trying to be nice, but it’s kinda rude tbh. Because you are making it seem like the problems they have aren’t actually real. They might not have an alternative nightclub to go to because all of them are shit, or they can’t go to another nightclub.

Yeah they launched amazon in Sweden a few years ago, I don’t know anyone at all that buys anything from Amazon. We have better alternatives, thank God for that.

Never used Amazon, the website is trash, the filter sucks and the search sucks. It’s the worst designed shopping experience, looks like a ebay market but worse for some reason.

Besides most media or Newspaper companies/organizations are biased, it’s what they don’t write and how they skew the political news or events towards a certain narrative. They are all scumbags, media is by far the most responsible for the current state that the world is in.

And choice is an illusion, you support Amazon wether you like it or not - mostly indirectly.

I like most fast food to be honest, they’re I would guess engineered to taste good. But I seldom eat it though, because of health reasons, and it’s become kinda expensive to eat bad good. For the same price, I can go to a local restaurant and have a good quality lunch.

Yeah the guy is a scam artist, of course he has a new scam, where he sells user information and you get a small percentage of it. Or he decides what ads are being shown and you get a small single digit percentage of that.

What a lazy article, in other words there are no reasons to run debian on wsl.

If you want to save resources then you would argue for something more barebones, and your article would contain a bunch of optimizations for someone with a resource constrained computer. But you won’t cuz you’re lazy.

I don’t think you’re allowed to physically attack anyone at all, could be wrong though. Except in sports, any sport.

Sure but when they actively decide to break the law and the rights of millions people, they are criminals or part of a criminal Enterprise and you should be on trail. The people in position of power, choose to break the law because of profit motivation, of course they shouldn’t keep the money because it was made illegally.

Why would they care about the consequences of fines, when they themselves don’t have to pay it, they can just cash out and not lose a cent, its the company that gets fined.

Fuck em, they should face several years of prison and lose the right to run a business or having a position of power, for gross violations of human rights and shouldn’t be trusted to hold power.

What stops Nvidia, intel or whatever to build the same kind of privacy violating technology directly in the hardware. I don’t even know how our phones are even allowed to collect all the data that they do, what are you going to do in the future when every piece of electronics you buy, is collecting data. You wouldn’t even need internet, they’ll just send it to the nearest 5g tower.

In 5 - 10 years, we’ll live in the era of mass surveillance (for your safety of course). AI combined with all the data available, will make the world a living hell for regular people. 1984 will no longer be science fiction, because we elect self serving clowns, total morons that aren’t capable of doing anything because they are starstruck by rich people and tech bros.

I always wonder, how you can be fined hundreds of millions of dollars for breaking a law or multiple, but no one will go to prison. How is it not a serious crime to break peoples right to privacy and personal integrity on a massive scale like that.

If no one is jailed for doing it, it will never stopped they will just try to lobby to change the laws. They knowingly are breaking the law, but it’s only fines so they don’t give a shit, because they are also lobbying to change those laws…

What a bunch of idiots for politicians, they let these corporation walk all over our rights.

Don’t live in the US, but in Sweden almost all WCs are gender neutral.

But the scenario is a cis gender male, walking in to a bathroom where he doesn’t belong. And you ask what is stopping him, well in the world where someone is asking you what gender you are, to allow you to go the bathroom; I guess that will be stopping you.

It’s a made up scenario

That is the scenario…

How about it’s not your fault that there isn’t a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it’s the politicians fault, we elect politician’s and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that’s just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won’t implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy

Arch Linux has by far the best community, the support wiki is the most useful wiki to Linux there is, it basically covers everything. Mad props to the arch Linux community.

I don’t think Linux caters to the casual crowd, maybe in the distant future, because it takes a lot of effort to create a good user experience, those resources are not available to distro makers.

In the PC world you have some different setups of devices, apple has it a bit easier they explicitly choose the hardware that they want to Support.

Also casual people have a hard time connecting a printer to their computer or fixing the wireless wifi.

I can’t imagine them fixing anything via the terminal. My SOs runs Manjaro and she is like that, but I usually fix her laptop when she has issued.

I love Linux for what it is, this toy for a developer that can automate and customize stuff relatively simple, with a large opinionated community.

I would instead rather focus on those thing, than seeing Linux trying to compete with windows/Mac.
