I’m not sure anymore how I got into a state where that was necessary, but do keep a reference around for how to boot Linux or Windows from the Grub command line.

sudo maintains ‘sudo state’ for 15 minutes. After that you need to enter the password again.
14 days ago I tested Ubuntu. I couldn’t access my Wifi. The network was visible, but it refused to accept the password. (Yes, I quintuple-checked that I entered it right.) When I tried Linux Mint, it worked on the first try.
Moral of the story: Drivers are hit-and-miss on Linux, too.
The fines are only proportional for big corporations. Organizations without revenue can still be fined:
Infringements of the following provisions shall, in accordance with paragraph 2, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher: (a) the basic principles for processing, […] pursuant to Articles […] 7 […];

In this case, the processing of data hinges upon the data subject’s consent, which is detailed in article 7.
Also, this is not an issue for the developers, but for the admins.
Imagine a car manufacturer building cars without brakes and then saying ‘This isn’t a problem for the engineers, but for the retailers’. Of course the developers can’t be sued for this. But that’s not the point! The point is that this bug or missing feature or whatever you want to call it jeopardizes the admins upon which this whole ecosystem hinges. I can’t believe that that’s in the devs’ best interests.
To be fair, this is a bug that could be the end of lemmy. As soon as one malicious actor sues even a few instance admins, other will get scared and shut down their instances. As the reporter points out, this isn’t just a shiny feature that’s missing. Instance admins lack the ability to follow data protection requirements that their users have a right to. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I agree commenting that post under every issue was a dick move.
I found it interesting how the maintainers reacted to these issues.
Would you mind if we set some of your priorities also? You’re asking us to do free labor for you, that you’re unwilling to do yourself. Do not put ultimatums and demands on people making FOSS, or I won’t hesitate to block you from these repos.

The best part of working in a meat grinder startup were the Linux masters teaching you stuff like
cat /dev/random > /dev/pty23
or
su _otheruser_
chsh -s /bin/false
You’re already assuming that command
is a valid command. That’s an invalid assumption for an unitiated user. On the other hand, a first-time user can click on icons, or hover over them to find the tool tip. (That name in itself suggests that the GUI should be explored rather than taught.)
That’s exactly my point. You can’t explore a CLI. You need to rely on external resource to first learn how to use it. That’s just not something you can ask of people who want to use computers as tools. When’s the last time you read your car manual?
That’s an argument against bad GUI design [Edit:, not GUIs in general]. This can just as easily (if not more easily) happen in CLIs, where a single typo can removed you up.
I can’t relate at all to the GUI hate. A GUI you can explore. “What does this button do?” “What changes when I enter a value here?”
How does that compare to a command prompt? How would you even start guessing commands?
The UK government says the median household income is 32,349£, the mean is 39,328£ in 2022. Data from 2020: the median was 29,900£, while the mean was 36,900£.
In both cases the median comes way closer to the £27,457 you calculated than the mean.
The footnote explicitly says “median”. What makes you doubt that?
The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. What’s a ‘smart playlist’?
