Takes me back to my first Arch install in like 2008.

I used Arch btw

The irony is, unlike the old days - actually AMD (ATI) is recommend for Linux now because the drivers are better.

This is in stark contrast to the fglrx days where that driver was an absolute abortion and NVIDIA was really the only usable one.

Not sure when you started your Linux journey but I avoided AMD for years based on that.

Now the tables have turned but I didn’t realize until after I purchased my NUC which has NVIDIA RTX graphics. So I guess I’m stuck on NVIDIA for the foreseeable future

unishittification, that’s a new one.

I like it!

^ this guy corporates

Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of “experts” that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can’t get expert advice internally)

80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget

In a free market, aren’t you free to collude with your competitors in order to fix prices?

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

In NZ, churches don’t have to pay tax. This makes them extremely attractive to people with no skills who want to obtain wealth

RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

Yeah, but, like, how many hours will it take for you to deliver 5 complexity points?

I hope this never happens to me but based on the Peter Principle I won’t know when it happens.

Oh shit maybe it’s already happened…

I was thinking about this the other day. Because Lemmy instances keep defederating from each other, I don’t really experience Lemmy. I experience a fragment of Lemmy as determined by the admins of the instance I’m connected to.

Even if I run my own instance, I guess there’s nothing stopping instances from defederating from me (or just refusing to federate to begin with because my instance is too small to bother with).

Is there even a way to experience all of Lemmy, including spam and things some people don’t agree with?

Purebred and inbred are synonyms

Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

As someone who works, flatpak’s solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.

Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues

But it’s genuinely what we were all doing not so long ago

Jokes on you, my first job was editing files directly in production. It was for a webapp written in Classic ASP. To add a new feature, you made a copy of the current version of the page (eg index2_new.asp became index2_new_v2.asp) and developed your feature there by hitting the live page with your web browser.

When you were ready to deploy, you modified all the other pages to link to your new page

Good times!

The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt

Hybrids: the worst of both worlds.

If you want to keep relying on gasoline then just buy an ICE car
