I’ve seen that claim a couple of places and would like a source. It very well may be since Microsoft prefers Debian based systems for WSL and for azure, but its not something I would have assumed by default
I was literally compiling this library a few nights ago and didn’t catch removed. We caught this one but I’m sure there’s a bunch of “bugs” we’ve squashes over the years long after they were introduced that were working just as intended like this one.
The real scary thing to me is the notion this was state sponsored and how many things like this might be hanging out in proprietary software for years on end.
I loath Ubuntu. But I know if I send a noob off into the woods with it they’ll be able to find solutions to their problems
If you have to ask it probably means the answer is one of the following:
In that order. Mint will be most likely the answer if your hardware is pretty normal. Ubuntu will be the answer if you’re willing to give up some security and privacy for east of use (pro-tip: if this is your mentality I’d recommend a different OS and dual booting while you learn). Pop!_os will be the answer if you don’t need super up to date software and want all your hardware to work because you have something odd
Personally I would strongly advise towards Mint. I used to direct people away from it but I’ve learned this was a bias I had against them for mishandling a security thing a long time ago that they’ve since become leaders in the security space for general use Linux operating systems.
I also prefer gpg but it is not super beginner friendly. I generally recommend people away from proton and tuta unless they really want encrypted email and gpg isn’t something they can figure out
Making email secure and good is very hard and it involves either making it inconvenient or getting rid of interoperability with existing systems. As long as I’ve been tracking it your choices for client when using Proton were webmail or mobile apps. The news here is that a new option has opened up not that an old option is being taken away
Lenovo also no longer deserves their reputation for durability. They haven’t for at least a decade. Their usb-c charging ports wear out super fast
This has way more to do with Azure is their main product and they know what people want to run on the cloud runs on Linux workloads. They’ve seen their Kuberbetes numbers, they know where the money is
Github has the most visibility, codeberg has the best community features for stripping away some of Microsoft’s hegemony over open source, and gitlab is flat and simple the nicest one to use
The extension marketplace VSCodium uses by default requires that extensions have telemetry off by default
Good good good good. We just wrote a huge batch of quick start on boarding scripts to set up new devs with a good baseline vs code configuration
Best LSP client list outside of NeoVim. If you want to be productive, NeoVim and VSCode are the top choices right now
When did vs code announce they would stop supporting Mac?
You over estimate how tech savvy my folks are. Dad doesn’t even know how to fully shut down the computer
My parents, for whom the internet is the only worthwhile thing a computer can be used for, love their Chromebook
Oh hell yes!
It’s the way I was raised
Traditional. I’m too old to learn new things
Gnome 2 was great and I wish MATE got more attention
