Debian.

Well, every kernel update is overstated maybe, but I had my fixed workflow of dropping to text mode and reinstalling the latest drivers from vendor, which is annoying as hell.

Dropped the card after meddling about for almost a year. Been using Linux since slackware was still hip & happening.

I’ll interpret this as “it worked for you”. It did not work for me.

My experience with Nvidia (granted, 3 years old experience):

Going with the closed source driver means stuff breaking each kernel update. Going with the opensource driver (while it may work for you): not everything is supported.

So its not just “people being annoyed with Nvidia” i’d say.

They havent been since 10 years ago. Nvidia excempted.

A better use case for linux desktop could not have been invented.

I’ve been using hetzner for more than 10 years now. Fun facts:

• They have an API to create infrastructure
• They have a terraform provider which can provide infra on hetzner.
• This storage addition is a very logical one, after loadbalancers, floating IP’s and so on. Very curious to know what will be next!

They have a long term vision and are very cost effective, while having good support.

I agree, although some messages are still cryptic for a newbie like me, but thats maybe more the person on the chair than the compiler 😇.

I’d estimate copilot to be correct in only 10% of the time, solving a situation like that. Most of the time the solution suggested is also wrong, but just differently.

Having said that: sometimes (small chance, 1% maybe) the solution is spot on.

AI mainly helps with the initial syntax and on language constructs and for that it is awesome.

I partly disagree, complex algorithms are indeed a no, but for learning a new language it is awesome.

Currently learning Rust and although it cannot solve everything, it does guide you with suggestions and usable code fragments.

Highly recommended.

Imagine being so young and having so much hate in you.

I pity that woman.

I cant even watch it.

The pouting of the quivering lips on Trump is unbearable.

Technically you are right.

The fat bike is considered to be a normal electric 25km/h bike (here in NL).

What changed (our view) on it was that some Chinese brands made it possible to raise the speed by doing a trivial change (either hardware or software) allowing speeds upto 45km/h.

In some extreme cases even higher.

Combine this with 12 year olds with soft skulls and you have the reason why the legal age is going to be raised to 16 years old and wearing a helmet.

And the old man in me screams: also require some training and a license for it.

And yes, I hate those things with a vengeance and have an opinion on everyone on such a vehicle. They are noisy, tent to break the speed limits and attract a certain type of people.

Old man signing off.

Although using the top row of keys does not cause you to accidentally hit keys above it.

“Vladimir Putin says…”

Aaand my brain switches off. Another red line.

Speaking for myself ofcourse but I am glad the EU has regulations for the use of personal data for targeting consumers, voters and for example patients.

You might translate this as “censorship” but I think of it as “responsible use”.

Over the past years (and certainly in the case of Xitter) it has become blatantly clear that people like Musk wipe their #ss with responsibility.

Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.

Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).

It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.

But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.

Amazing and heart warming to read! Sometimes all it takes for things to change are the actions of an individual!

I’m in the process of switching to firefox on all my devices.

I’ve had enough of Google pushing features like this.

Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!

You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.

Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.

I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!

Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.

♥️

D’aww you guys…

Group hug!
