How can they do that if they don’t have enough money
How can they do that if they don’t have enough money
I liked it at first, but then I ran into some really weird shit. Re-installing didn’t erase the previous install, programs I installed disappeared after reboot, etc. This might be caused by the jankiness of UEFI, I don’t know. I’m never buying another HP laptop after they pulled this shit with UEFI. It’s given me so many headaches.
I remember when it was considered a mark of professionalism for a web developer to have an email on their own domain. At some point that changed. I think after GMail came out it was so good that everybody switched to that.
I haven’t. What happens?
“Be patient. It’s compiling.”
“Well, when can I use my computer?”
“…Tomorrow.”
I think the employees that are anti-Sam are the ones this letter is addressed to.
I wish I could block Elon Musk from reality.
I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years, and AFAIK in all that time I’ve never encountered a Linux virus. OTOH when I run Windows, I hit a virus within the first six months.
Yes, because “security through obscurity is not security”.
Same with complete episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head.
So, it doesn’t sound like it would be useful for me, since the reason why I have separate partitions in the first place is so that I can re-install a distro or install a new distro without having to back up /home
first.
How does that work with you’re installing a new system? Do the subvolumes just show up like partitions?
Sooo… Arch makes you horny?
I think that funding creators is great if you have the money and the inclination. I just don’t think that it makes you an asshole if you don’t.
There are creators whom I fund because they give me exclusive extra content on their Patreons or sometimes if I just think that their work is important enough and I want to see it continue. If I decide that I need that money for something else, that’s up to me.
If we were selfish, we wouldn’t be sharing our files in the first place, and the system would fall apart.
It’s the fact that we aren’t selfish that filesharing works at all.
Piracy is. Filesharing isn’t.
When you steal books from a library, you’re preventing others from accessing those books. When you download a digital copy of a book, you aren’t.
Same thing with money. If you stole my money, I’d be upset, but I wouldn’t be upset if I had infinite money.
Where’s the lie
There’s something seriously wrong with our communication infrastructure if some rich nutjob can just buy up an important piece of it and run it into the ground like this. This could’ve never happened if Twitter were a worker-owned collective. Chalk another one up for capitalism.
