So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen...
  • I used Linux daily for 20 years.

    Linux may be ready, the mainstream software isn't.

    Are you working with Adobe? Good luck.

    Want to play some multiplayer game? Good luck, again.

    Oh yes, chrome and Firefox run fine. Just disregard LibreOffice, it's disappointing.

  • Maldives will ban Israelis from entering the country over the war in Gaza
  • Unfortunately not.

    I say that not because I hate Russians.

    I hate the Russians that fly to Maldives and act like they own the place and are constantly rude to Maldivians, other tourists and leave trash behind when they leave.

  • Enshittification sure is fast
  • Half the countries in the world: Russia and probably Philippines.

  • Is true. Just open the bible.
  • Oh... right! I didn't think of that. :)

  • I lost my mouse a couple times and bought an exact replacement, then found the old one. You can see the evolution of the logo
  • I wonder if America gets worse manufacturing, all the people complaining Logitech mice failing after a couple of years. While mine I have to kill them myself or gift around because they last so much and I like the new cool G series mouse.

  • I lost my mouse a couple times and bought an exact replacement, then found the old one. You can see the evolution of the logo
  • The thing is that 1GB of a "driver" contains about 20 MB of actual mouse driver, but also all the drivers for all their other mice, keyboards, webcams, joysticks, driving wheels, loudspeakers (but why?), headphones, etc.

    I like they consolidated their Logi Hub software, but it's HEAVY.

  • Is true. Just open the bible.
  • The problem when you bash millions of people is that your claims against the group becomes untrue very quickly. The Christians in my neck of the woods are generally supportive of women who want to get abortions.

    That's true.

    Even in Italy, house of the Vatican, home of the Pope, with 60% of Italians being Catholic Christians, abortion is perfectly legal since 1978 and no one even thinks about making it illegal.

  • Is true. Just open the bible.
  • Can someone with a Bible confirm? Sounds like some funny hoax to me.

  • Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone
  • Sony Xperia 1 here, no app, neither.

  • Yeah yeah, we know you're special
  • If you had a Sound Blaster 16, you had an extra IDE port on the board, which DOS couldn't see and you had to load special drivers to use them. Usually it was used for the CD-ROM.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • You're changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • I don't want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.

    But just to add something, I didn't say he's a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he's a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • I support the right tool for the right task, I'm not a company cultist, I'm sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don't care.

  • Sony accidentally released the Stellar Blade demo but has now blocked people from playing it
  • Sony is the publisher, but the developer has a word, or doesn't?

  • Sony accidentally released the Stellar Blade demo but has now blocked people from playing it
  • I don't think Sony can unilaterally decide if a demo has to stay online or not.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I'm not the average "I'm using Arch btw" Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

    If I wasn't a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That's how I prefer Linux.

    Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • No offence but you're a bad it person if you really think like that.

    I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they're too dumb and I don't have to give technical support, lol.

  • Swiss copyright law: what can and can’t I download?

    In some European countries, the authorities are taking rigorous action against film and music piracy. Even downloading a single file can lead to fines, criminal proceedings and warnings.

    In Switzerland, the legal situation is somewhat different. Here, you can download or stream certain content from the internet without paying for it under certain circumstances.

    line 32: found character that cannot start any token

    Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command.

    Today I tried again, using the Docker method, I correctly downloaded all the files, but as soon as I run "docker compose up" I get the error "/lemmy/docker-compose.yml: yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token"

    That's usually a common error if the yaml file contains TABs instead of spaces, but it's not the case here.

    So, again I'm lost and I'm looking for someone here that can bring me some light on the issue, it would be very appreciated.

    Is Linus Tech Tips “Stubby” Screwdriver Best? Let's Settle This!

    According to this third party reviewer, the LTT stubby is as good as the PB Swiss (considered one of the best tool makers and I agree) and also $20 cheaper.

    Even the Swiss giant Digitec posted an article about the state of LTT

    Digitec is considered the "Amazon of Switzerland", is the most popular online shop for technology with decent prices, but also often posts articles, reviews and previews. It helps since Amazon doesn't exist in Switzerland (Swiss people often buy from Amazon German or Amazon Italy).

    I honestly didn't expect the LTT news to reach such mainstream news.

    Floatplane is now below 37000 subscribers.

    They have approximately now lost over 5000 subscribers which equates to about $25000 per month or $300000 per year in lost revenue.

    build lemmy (from scratch) on debian

    Hi, if you're trying to build lemmy from scratch, on debian (not ubuntu), and you're following this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/from_scratch.html

    There are a few corrections I would like to point you.

    Install those two things before following the guide:

    apt install sudo

    Of course, 'sudo' is not installed by default on Debian, so I guess it would be a good idea to install it.

    sudo apt install build-essential

    This will install the 'cc' compiler needed by Rust.

    sudo apt install protobuf-c-compiler protobuf-compiler

    This is needed to compile opentelemetry-proto.
