We shall hope so.

A few tests failing in beta, when this can be fixed before the release, is hardly newsworthy.

However it leaves a bad taste to even consider replacing coreutils when it’s nur clear that the replacement is rock solid. Those commands are used in millions of shell scripts distributed alongside applications. Should coreutils break, we’d learn the hard way.

This depends on the goal. Sure, installing Linux in a VM is easy and will always work. Also working within a VM is usually just fine. However you still have to keep Windows underneath with all it’s problems like end of 10.

Take any distro you fancy, Mint is a good start. Create a bootable USB stick an try it out. This is does not modify anything on your computer, just loads linux and let’s you test it. I usually play a youtube video. This shows that wifi, video and sound work out of the box.

For me, if a water fountain exist, it had always worked, especially indoors. Why would someone waste space for a broken water fountain?

How many millilitres are in a gallon?

Sounds like it’s fully compatible query devices running older version. Great.

I have enabled this on my private machine, because it’s free and it was asking so nicely.

I don’t have the same patches on servers at work.

You can absolutely fry tomatoes, half, sliced, or whole, without fat. And tomatoes have enough water not to stick or burn. (You may want to watch and adjust the temperature)

You may argue that’s booling or steaming, not grilling, but the outcome will be fine.

Preview is one of the things mac os got right. it’s hard to copy. If you think about it, it does not make sense that a tool called preview that most people use to quickly read pdf (and other) files, is also a lightweight pdf editor, which is often more useful than acrobat or pdfedit or whatever you use.

It’s not logical. no one will make a clone of it.

you’ll have to get used to other tools.

yes, i meant x86

Actually, most devices today run an amd64 kernel (amd or intel cpus in typical desktops or servers) or arm (phones, some modern notebooks). Those architectures never supported 486 cpus.

I assume, the code removed is in the x86 branch, excluded when compiling for other architectures. As others said, I guess this is mostly about maintainance effort and testing.

(But then i don’t know much about the kernels. Maybe there’s some interplay between amd64 and x64 x86 architectures.)

It’s this or Google or Microsoft if you want something PowerPoint-like.

Many recommend to ‘pick a javascript framework’, which just like LaTeX Beamer sounds good if you do your own thing, but not ideal if people expect PowerPoint. Building slides through code is fundamentally different from drag-on-dropping images.

Pick Google or Microsoft or OnlyOffice and use their web version. This keeps your laptop free of non-free software while using the same tools everyone else has.

When Trump is not the most crazy person in the room…

I support that fight against Nazi content, but hard-coded blacklists in a open-source Fediverse software? Something is off here.

Hope they find a better way. Make it the default behaviour, include it in all tutorials, defederate.

No op, but i use

I still don’t care about cookies

The reflection (scattering) of light can be seen on the picture they choose to make their point. Sure, the comment is correct that anything you can see scatters light otherwise you would not see it, but in the picture it is particular obvious where the light source is from the reflection on the rock.

Which NAS supports Syncthing?

I guess no hoster is safe, but maybe have a backup in a different jurisdiction.

I use Ubuntu every day. I’m part of the Linux community. And i believe that Ubuntu helped to make the Linux desktop easy and available and sort-of cool.

There’s no hate, but i could live without snap, unity and oversimplification. Actually that’s my biggest issue. Give me settings, give me choice. Hibernate works fine on my machine, don’t hide it.

Apt/deb is a fine package manager, flatpak and docker can supplement it when you want something not packaged as deb. The way Ubuntu updates browser over snap is a small improvement, but it’s not worth deviating from the rest of the Linux world.

I don’t hate Ubuntu. I think they are wasting their time on stuff no one needs. Missing the chance to improve Linux for everyone.

I’m a little chubby and drink more beers than i should. I’m 40. I’m in a stable relationship, so not on the dating market.

Also, I have similar thoughts about my professional ambitions. I’ll neither become CEO nor professor, so why bother. Could I make more? Probably. A more fancy title? Sure. But why I care?
