Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

iopq,

Flatpak is good because I don’t need to check whether the program is available for my distro.

Before: click Linux icon. They offer a .deb and maybe .rpm

Now: click Linux icon, they tell you how to get it on flathub

And it’s probably available on my distro too, but why bother? Didn’t even search it

iopq,

It’s called private/public key pair. If you give the public key to a website, they can let you in as long as you have the private key to encrypt a message that matches the pubic key.

As such, your public key is safe to share and you can always verify yourself as the owner of the private key if you have it.

SSH log in works like this.

iopq,

Generative AI isn’t that funny, so I see that Silverman has a strong case, that being her purview

iopq,

Anyone else’s page not loading?

iopq,

I’ve had success restarting the whole browser. Have you tried turning it on and off again?

Firefox on Android won't keep my "desktop site" toggle on (kbin.social)

From what I've read online this shouldn't even be an issue anymore since "desktop site" is meant to have been made default recently (edit: I was wrong this is not the case, see comments), but either way it isn't for me, and I'm getting really annoyed at having to re-toggle every tab to desktop every time I open the app. I can't...

iopq,

It kept on happening many times for me, anyone find a bug on the tracker?

iopq,

On the one hand, keeping boots on the ground is very difficult from a logistical standpoint.

But on the other hand, drones and artillery from the other bank can be used just as effectively. Russians are too busy throwing waves at Avdiivka to reinforce in large numbers in that area.

Query about your linux daily drivers?

So i have my main system, i have been running NixOS on for over a year. It has been a pleasure to daily drive. And ive recently been playing with gentoo and funtoo. And althought alot of information, which is somewhat overwhelming but is slowly growing on me and making me appreatate linux as a whole. So i was wondring what other...

iopq,

I got a Framework 16 ordered with no GPU. It’s pricy, but it is the only laptop that has an upgradable GPU. I’m looking forward to a 7900S mobile GPU upgrade wherever that drops.

iopq,

Most of security CVEs are related to memory bugs, so it’s relatively more safe vs. a certain type of exploits

iopq,

Except the US promised to defend Ukraine when it gave up its nukes to Russia. So yeah, it is literally our job. Don’t promise things you don’t follow up on if you don’t want it to be your responsibility

iopq,

They are not, unless you are Ukrainian

iopq,

This isn’t true, lend-lease wasn’t used, Ukraine is not paying back the assistance that was given so far. It could be authorized and used later, but hasn’t been so far

iopq,

Ukraine was Soviet Union’s manufacturing base. It also built the biggest airplane in the world. I think Ukraine can manage by itself

iopq,

There’s a distro called NixOS that is created for this purpose. It also has a tool called home manager that will manage your dot files for you. Once you back up like two or three configuration files you can recreate your system (minus any actual data)

When you do this in Arch there’s no guarantee you get the same package versions and there’s no guarantee everything works

iopq,

It’s a better distro, not a worse one. This is because it has easy rollbacks, upgrades, etc. You never get stuck with a broken system since the previous state is in another entry when you boot. You only need to hit down arrow and enter to go back to the previous configuration even if you can’t boot right now

iopq,

Yet it can outperform humans on some tests involving logic. It will never be perfect, but that implies you can test its IQ

iopq,

IQ is objectively a good measure of human intelligence. High IQ people have higher educational achievement, income, etc.

iopq,

The fact you went out of your way to write it’s when I wrote the correct “its” tells me everything I need to know about your educational achievement

iopq,

I never said it’s the cause. We’re trying to find a measure that correlates well with actual intelligence g

IQ correlates with g, but also income/education correlates with g because smarter people do better in these metrics.

IQ doesn’t make you smarter, but smarter people can do better on IQ tests

iopq,

You have the cause and effect switched. More intelligent parents have higher incomes, their kids also are more likely to have higher intelligence because it’s heritable. So if a bunch of rich Jews live in a Manhattan, does it mean that IQ is predicting their zip code? Or is it predicting they are Jewish? That’s just a weird way of thinking about it.

Your definition of intelligence is not that is commonly thought of intelligence. It’s like saying “intelligence is your maximum chess skill measured by elo and you will never achieve it”

But learning to play chess quickly would also fall under intelligence. Given not being a high level at a similar game, there will be people who learn quicker than others. Learning languages, learning from your experience, all fall under intelligence.

If you take all of these measures, average them, you will get a true intelligence measurement. IQ is a sample of true intelligence by using only some measurements, since intelligence can have an infinite amount of tasks that it can be used to perform

iopq,

I have this in nightly mobile Firefox. I like nightly because it has about:config

iopq,

It means you didn’t make correct foam up start with

This video helped me:

youtu.be/gTC3dJvwgUI

It took me three tries. First one was too thin, no foam at all, second one was all foam like yours, third one was just right

If your foam is too thick, you can take some off the top with a spoon. Videos don’t show this because they get perfect foam every time, but for beginners it helps a lot

iopq,

Nix is better because you can use a lock file to fetch the exact revisions of each software. Even proprietary stuff is hashed so when you download it, it’s checked to be bit identical to the lock file hash before it’s installed

This means your setup on another machine is the same as long as the lock file is the same.

Also you can switch to an older revision, mix and match stable and unstable, keep your whole setup in a git repo. It’s basically everything you ever would want from a package manager (reproducible builds already done for the minimal version, soon coming to all 80,000 packages)

iopq,

You can steam-run any Linux executable, so for those cases it’s fine.

All the major software is already in Nixpkgs, there’s just some holdouts still shipping .deb and .rpm files, though

iopq,

Dev work is not specific enough. Pip is a nightmare because it just wanted to modify folders that were read only and you never know what it wants to do to your system. Your experience may vary depending on how much the language package manager assumes about your system. If you’re in a container, it will work perfectly, though

Firefox just works, and I installed Steam from nixpkgs and it worked after enabling a few settings. Then I just enabled Proton on every game and it works okay, with a few weird bugs sometimes (although I blame Gnome for messing up alt tabbing sometimes)

iopq,

What is your retirement fund stock/bond allocation? Target retirement date?

iopq,

Unfortunately, you can only solve this by making either each vote cost money or the user’s time. Otherwise a server can always make fake accounts

iopq,

Nix allows you to download a binary of a proprietary package because every input is hashed. You may need to patch it to work with the correct paths, but these tools already exist.

iopq,

Nix is the native NixOS format!

iopq,

I was homeschooled up until 12. I went to college at 15. That’s about all I’ll say about it.

iopq,

Technically it’s a junior college program because I still had some high school requirements until I was 16 and took the high school proficiency exam. After passing that I did not have to attend any classes in the program.

At 17 I transferred to a state university as a junior because I accumulated enough credits in the community college.

iopq,

I would have spent the same money going to college anyway? I just did it earlier, this post makes no sense

iopq,

I didn’t receive any money for it

iopq,

No, two years of community college and transferred to a state university as a junior at 17

iopq,

Not really, it knows where it is because it has an accelerometer

iopq,

If prices are going up, then it’s going to be less than 13.5 years because the value of the house will grow on the meantime and you will own more than you owe

iopq,

Oh, that’s surprising, then

But then again, I would not be surprised if the rates fell in the future, so if your mortgage is a few years locked in rates and then goes floating this may be still fine

I’m talking more likely 7 years in the future, not like one or two, though

iopq,

That’s not true, you eventually win due to not paying rent in perpetuity

iopq,

If I needed to ask someone on how to write bad jokes, I wouldn’t ask anyone else

iopq,

Are these Capitalists in the room right now?

iopq,

Food, the modern necessity

iopq,

Well, yeah, it didn’t really exist before the 1970s in its current form. But it’s not just tech, other companies like FedEx also got VC funding in the early stages

iopq,

9.3%

iopq,

That’s not the majority of the people, majority of people work less now than in the 19th century

But they are socialist and successful. You don’t get to real Scotsman every example that doesn’t fit your narrative

Hilariously the thing that got me to go back to @firefox was Google making adblocking suck on chromium based browsers and trying to force their (repeatedly) spy-ware filled ads (particularly on youtube) to be displayed. Like you spent how many billions trying to make chrome "the thing" and now you are destroying any goodwill.

iopq,

What are you talking about? You just go to the add-on page and click install

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/ublock-origin/

iopq,

Nobody has to do it if they don’t want to.

iopq,

This is actually not true, because if you received a transaction that is “printed” money due to some bug, it would be provable. This has not happened
