Mint is just perfectly fine, don’t listen to the naysayers.
As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works.
Nah, that’s valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that’s highly subjective. I hope you’re finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!
Is your pigeons’ threatspin routine like, 360 spin one way then 360 spin the other way then charge? That’s what I’ve observed most often. You can tell how pissed the pigeon is by the speed of the spin too.
I am in mad love with this Darmok-ass comment.
Let’s maybe not bring fash comics to Lemmy…
You’d THINK the article would link to a source about the fingerprinting in question instead of 90% filler slop and ads for their own service… Anyone got a link?
I had missed that. Wild.
Firefox’s stance on privacy, like Apple’s, is to some extent branding. Arguably it always was. You should still use Firefox (or any other third party browser) if it works for you. Ecosystem diversity matters.
One funny thing about humans is that they aren’t just gloriously fallible: they also get quite upset when that’s pointed out. :)
Unfortunately, that’s also how you end up with blameful company cultures that actively make reliability worse, because then your humans make just the same amounts of mistakes, but they hide them – and you never get a chance to evolve your systems with the safeguards that would have prevented these.
You won’t find the incompetence in the software no matter what.
If you fail to assume that the software contains issues – if you fail to understand that your software is made by humans and humans make mistakes, not because they’re bad but because they’re human – and if you fail to implement mechanisms to feel gracefully with inevitable failures, THAT is the incompetence.
Failures are systemic.
For serious. I wish they hired remote.
uBlock Origin has a V3 version, yeah. Been using it for a while, seems to work well. I do miss the ability of adding my own filters, hope they implement that eventually.
Go fash, lose cash. 👍🏻
Astounding, isn’t it? That’s publicly traded companies for you. The company’s objective is to keep its stock up and up and up. That means shareholders must want to keep buying the stock, which in turn means that the company must demonstrate that its value will keep growing, so that by buying the stock today the shareholders will get a positive return tomorrow.
Of course, the universe is finite and no growth is forever. The end state for such companies is not bankruptcy, at least in the immediate, but, more or less, the IBM fate: a previously uber-dominant mastodon whose market capitalization is now worth maybe one tenth of its modern competitors. The fact that it’s still turning a profit is only secondary: none of the big tech shops want to be the next IBM. Their executives are, after all, mostly paid in stocks.
And that’s how you end up with companies that are making amounts of revenue you and I can’t even comprehend flail in a panic like they’re on the edge of the precipice whenever the technological landscape shifts.
It’s both fascinating and remarkably dumb.
Too real. They’ll steal your heart alright, but god damn.
If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It’s all about finding out.
“Oh, ta gueule.”
Oh, shut the fuck up. It’s really crude language. Which makes it even funnier.
It’s a trade-off that works for many. Not much you and I can do about it, even if it’s frustrating.
Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn’t help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren’t there.
If you’re intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you’re fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.
But you can’t reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.
Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?
EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.
