I can understand people not wanting to learn a ton of CLIs, I cannot understand people refusing to use any at all. They have the distinct advantage that you can copy + paste stuff, whereas in Windows you sometimes have to follow like a dozen steps to do whatever you want to do in a 2000s GUI.

I hate it when people want to hate on something, yet get the platform or alternatively the proposition wrong. Because you will release stuff as a Flatpak and possibly on Flathub.

You could also buy insanely expensive IBM enterprise hardware. I think they still do PowerPC stuff

Because companies give zero fucks. They will tell you they need tons of IT people, when in reality they want tons of underpaid programmers. They want stuff as fast and cheap as possible. What doesn’t cause immediate trouble is usually good enough. What can be patched up somehow is kept running, even when it only leads you further up the cliff you will fall off eventually.

Management is sometimes completely clueless. They rather hire twice as many people to keep some poorly developed app running, than to invest in a new, better developed app, that requires less maintenance and provides a better user experience. Zero risk tolerance and zero foresight.

It still generates money, you keep it running. Any means are fine.

You need to use as many different formats as possible, otherwise you look unprofessional

Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don’t even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that

eDolf Musk is learning a valuable lesson: As a billionaire, you can basically do what you want. Except if you are in a very competitive business and it makes people hate your guts.

Go to settings, search for Application Style, there, in the top right you can click Gtk Theme and select one. You can also click Get new.. and download a new one. Note that they might now show all by default.

You can find more via the website. To do so, select any, click Visit project website and search the site for more. To find them in the Get new... window, just put the name in the search bar. They are guaranteed to show then.

Edit: Any of the items I named might be slightly off. Need to get to my computer to correct that 😄

Pretty damn cool tech tho. Another step towards second heart cyberware

It’s so weird how people in power play the most dangerous games in countries where the population is not disarmed

You think about it the wrong way. GPS is not passive, it is everywhere

I have a wireless keyboard. It comes with its own dongle, so you can expect it to work with some generic keyboard driver. I plugged into my USB-hub, works just fine on Linux. No lag, no nothing.

On Windows? Well, it works, but the audio device I have plugged in just straight up refuses to function while the dongle is hooked up as well. It seems to gobble up pretty much the entire bandwidth. Amazing.

Next up: Encryption is now illegal and tech literates are criminals in the UK

There is some phrase involving (symbolic) intercourse and uncovering knowledge describing the sequence of events rather well. What was it again? Have sex and be enlightened? 🤔

When I’m bored, I change how my Plasma looks. Happens once in a while. I would not complain if it ever turns into a “choose global theme | apply global theme” workflow tho.

I mean, it is basically there, except you need to download and apply Kvantum themes.

It’s because we are depressed nihilists who have given up on pretty much everything, running on gallows homour to a point where we are meming youth slang. Don’t worry, we’re fine haha… Ha…

Literally never had EndeavourOS break in any way.

Last time might have been the GRUB issue that affected all of Arch. If you use GRUB that is, since it’s not the default on EndeavourOS. Next time might be old package repos being shut off, but only if your install is older, plus there’s already the second announcement with simple instructions regarding that on Arch News. Also, it will just block updates.

I’ve put two people without any prior knowledge on EndeavourOS, didn’t hear any complains either. I myself had no prior knowledge in Linux and hopped from Kubuntu to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to Garuda Linux in short succession. I only switched to EndeavourOS after Garuda repeatedly broke. Been on it for 2 years without an issue I think.

I know this is not a representative study and as a computer scientist, I do grasp things quickly, but I strongly oppose the notion that EndeavourOS is not beginner friendly.

Pretty much the standard in all of Germany except the water is usually better than any you can buy
