I’ve put Fedora on my mum’s pc after it became clear that Win10 will EoL soon, and that Win11 would refuse to run on it. Have had significantly fewer support requests since then.
Her work is mostly done via Citrix, which has an official Fedora Client. Everything else happens in the Browser, or sometimes in OnlyOffice, which so far has worked as a drop-in replacement for MS Office.
As always, it really depends on the use case.
I don’t think the average user thinks much about the platform they’re on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.
Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren’t really - you’d have to actively go search for them. People just aren’t likely to do that, I don’t think.
While what you said isn’t untrue, .ml does Bill itself as a general purpose instance. Also, not all the replies are from accounts on .ml.
In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.
Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.
Finally someone who actually uses a Vostro. Always found that name unreasonably funny.
I set up my current desktop while reading Gaiman’s The Sandman, so it’s called Morpheus. Because I felt I needed to keep with the theme, my laptop is hades, my phone persephone, my server apollo, my router helios, the media centre PC is orpheus, the pi that boots and updates it outside of usage hours is eurydice, and the pi that runs home assistant is zeus (because it’s responsible for light(n)ing.
Oh, and the work profile on my phone is sisyphos.
I mean, didn’t he do that Carlson interview a few days ago? I wouldn’t put it past Trump to pardon him, as long as he keeps on message and drums up some attention.
That’s bullshit, I’m good friends with several ex-partners. Might not work for some people, but definitely not a general rule.
Depends on your process. Are you using the Google (Search) App? I don’t think you can turn that off in there. I’d take a look at using a different Browser. If you’re on iOS, Safari is probably fine, if you’re on Android, I’d think about using Firefox (Google Play), or if you’re feeling daring, Fennec, a more privacy focused version of Firefox (F-droid).
The UX will be different, and you gotta decide whether you’re fine with that, but at least those won’t change the links you’re trying to share.
Why use a Google link shortener with tracking, instead of linking to the Hollywood reporters site directly.
Or, more to the point, why use a Google app that replaces links you want to share with redirects?
There’s also qobuz. They have a streaming service, but you can also straight up buy a lot of albums and download them drm free.
I’ve used parts from my old PC for my Homeserver. Among other things, it runs Jellyfin. Most of my library can be directly played by most clients, so I need almost no transcoding. Just serving the media uses tiny amounts of ram and compute, and the only bottleneck I could see is a residential Internet connection (I’ve got symmetrical gigabit, but there’s lots of residential gigabit that limits uploads to like 50mpbs).
Yeah, but that’s why I don’t think fertility is a good measure of age in any way.
I don’t disagree with the numbers, I just don’t think they’re bound to any one aspect of the human body, nor do they need to be.
Not my experience, but that might depend on the people one interacts with. I’d also say that coupling being young to such a gendered parameter is questionable. When does someone who’s biologically male stop being young? What about people who can’t reproduce?
I dunno, to be honest. But for me, reproductive changes are a consequence of age, not the other way around. No single factor feels like it in itself is a sensible definition.
That’s a really weird definition of young.
I’m neither Sir, nor Madam, just Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Customer.
Holy-C used to be called C+, I think.
Well, macOS is unix based, and when debbuging a friends mac, I usually find that I find the terminal more comfortable than the Windows Command Prompt.
Now, that Mac does break in very weird ways sometimes, but I digress.
I’m sure it’s a common enough occurrence in a community with lots of computer nerds.
I do recognise that there are a lot of usecases in which Linux isn’t currently the sensible choice for most users, but I also feel the ready/not ready thing is quite as clear cut. While I’m obviously rather biased, I do genuinely think that there is a subset of casual users that would do better with Linux than with Windows.
I could talk about how Windows has been a lot more problematic for me than Linux, but that has been mainly down to driver issues with a specific network adapter, and we both know that isn’t the reason I prefer Linux anyway.
