This is exactly why those people never become billionaires. You can’t make billions without screwing over people and the environment.

Do we really want to be bigger anyway? I kind of like where Linux as a desktop isn’t really big enough for all the scammers and malware makers to care.

(And I know it’s huge for servers and malware also targets that, but they are usually maintained by professionals, not your parents that would probably run every shell script they are offered as help)

If Linux would become the biggest desktop os you are going to find so much more bad advice whenever searching for help online. I wonder if the nice people we have now are really ready for when the terrible people invade the community.

Just like a human it really depends on what you feed your AI as training data.

They are so many good kind of AI written books nowdays

To be fair I’ve got a wallet from AliExpress that still works fine after 5 years. Unfortunately quality and price are not the same thing. Sometimes expensive stuff is made as cheaply as possible. As a consumer it’s not always that easy to know when you are fooled.

Also it’s not really true anymore that a good brand is still good. Lots of good brands decided to produce inferior products for higher profits. I think it’s probably because a brand is bought by some investment firm that wants to maximize profits.

I specifically bought a Brother printer because they at least try to support Linux. My previous one Samsung was much worse, it had Google cloud print so I could still use it. But Google like always killed something people liked.

He just really wants people to know he’s the bischop of Arch

This was the one for me, was running Debian a few years ago, I was really happy with how everything worked.

But at work I noticed a lot of tools I needed where pretty old. Like an old version of maven or an old version of Firefox or npm.

You can probably work around it, but I just went back to Mint again.

The sad thing is that foxit used to be the great alternative, back in the day.

No surprise, a wide screen tv from the late 90s was big enough to house 2 gaint speakers and a subwoofer.

The exact perfect image, well done!

Edit now realize this is probably ai generated, still well done!

I would say use Mint, I think nowadays that’s the better beginner distro. Actually it’s also kind of the pro-user distro. Fiddling around to tweak everything and get it just right is fun in your 20s, but when you need to work, have kids and a wife mint is fine 😛

They made it basically unusable with Firefox, so unless you also want to install Edge it really sucks

Yeah it’s very simple if you send one and get one back it’s just a trade. If you send one and get more than one it’s a piramide scheme.

It’s not terrible or anything, but at some point (the bottom) of the piramide a lot a people end up without any books, no way around that.

I get that, I have a smart oven, washer, dryer and dishwasher. All connected to the internet (private guest network just in case), and they all send updates to one Telegram group chat using IFTTT. It’s pretty convenient to get updates when a device is done.

What kind of things do you need to do? For software development my experience is that it’s just install and you can start working. Maybe one tutorial to get kubernetes running locally.

That was probably a year ago it’s every 12 seconds now, unskippable 3 minute ads.

This just reminds me of how much miss reply all

I think on the internet now you say earussy or something like that, something wikipedia

Loved fireworks as a kid, didn’t even knew the ringing in your ears after a loud bang was bad
