It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.

For large companies that serve many customers 5K per year is a drop in a bucket. If it provides their customers with a more secure experience, it is worth it.

Springboot is very confusing. The inheritance tree is insane, they created a class for everything, which I get… But it is so hard to understand the whole scope their design.

I just realized I have never said this word out loud, but in my mind it sounds like “shown”

That’s exactly what Canonical is trying to do. They are trying to create a system with all the batteries included so people don’t need to worry about installing extra stuff, which means that of course they’ll have a bunch of bloat if you don’t use everything they offer, which is probably the case.

Their end goal is to be able to push this to the masses and maybe one day be able to get compensation for their effort.

I wouldn’t mind if Ubuntu becomes a Microsoft Windows-like product. If that’s what it takes to steal people from the claws of Microsoft, I’m OK with that. That would mean that hardware manufacturers will start developing specialized drivers for their hardware in Linux. To this day, in freaking 2024, I need to have a Windows image in order to configure my headset and mouse because developing the interfaces for Linux is pointless for these companies.

We still have like 50 other distros we can use. Let Ubuntu be that bridge to bring more users to Linux.

I honestly just want to enjoy Linux. If I’m concerned about what happens in every update, I won’t enjoy it.

So I leave the worrying to other people. If something really bad happens that I need to know about, I’ll probably hear about it on these communities.

“Ubuntu did this crazy thing!!!”

Google -> how to disable this crazy thing?

disables the crazy thing

So far I haven’t been hacked (almost 7 years using it) or murdered by the phantom of the bloat. Everything works fine. The only issues I’ve had are Nvidia related. Fuck Nvidia.

Ubuntu literally delivers the promise of a user friendly experience, which is what I want. I don’t want to obsess about the libraries or Init system my distro uses. I just want it to work. I’ll let other amazing minds to worry about the philosophy and technical aspects while I just cruise.

I know I can relax thanks to other people who really worry and want everything to be perfect. I’m really grateful with them, I just don’t want to be them.

Yeha, mistakes have been made but I guess those are understandable for the biggest distro. But that’s the past. We can always switch between distros when needed. Atm Ubuntu is fine.

What if I use Ubuntu but I’d rather talk about the kernel than distros?

He’s asking for a water color painting of his surprised face looking at the article. Color him surprised please.

Murder you, I thought that was pretty clear, murder you dude, that’s my thing.

Or before I get to you

And even worse “Off of Officers”. That just sounds ridiculous.

DuckDuckGo does sell your information, doesn’t it? I thoughts that was their business model.

Alternatives for WhatsApp and Google Search that won’t sell your information?

Ah yeha, agreed. If they get physical, fuck that. I’m sure that’s just like 1% or less of vegans. We can’t judge a whole group for the actions of a few.

I had like 4 snaps installed in my system and it was hogging like 60Gb of storage. What the actual fuck.

I wish I kept the names of the dependencies, I just ran a command to remove all snaps and the snap itself.

Am I talking bullshit here? I saw my disk drop 60gb after I did that but I have no evidence.

I do think they are annoying but a necessary type of annoying that will help humanity progress. The same type of annoying as people who claimed women had rights and African Americans were not inferior.

Humans treat this planet like shit, we have zero respect for living beings and the ecosystems. Anyone who gets angry if someone calls them out for supporting animal abuse is just immature and selfish. Like they’ll just deny they are doing something wrong.

I’ll probably never stop eating meat until stuff like Beyond Meat becomes mainstream. But I won’t pretend I’m not a straight up asshole to these animals for supporting their torture and murder. The times I’ve been called out I’ve embraced it instead of denying the obvious.

In 150 years humans will look back in shame at what we did to those animals.

Why are you calling him Nazi… Damn, I was gone from Lemmy for 4 months and came back to this childish shit. I’m out again.

Still remember my father’s face when he realized I was sharing all his personal documents with Limewire.

My internet was so slow that I was tweaking all the settings and doing pattern analysis on bandwidth traffic with nonsense tweaks. So I probably tweaked that setting and felt the internet was 10kbps faster.

I also recall placing the modem under a blanket because I thought the internet was faster when the modem was warmer. My father’s face when he saw the modem had melted… and the flabbergasted repair technicians theorizing that our house was probably hit by a thunder and it caught fire somehow. Little did they know.

I was just a desperate kid willing to try anything to be able to download 1 song per day.
