What is the point of posting a screenshot (that is poorly cropped to boot) of what is clearly a page you could have just linked?

Also, what exactly do you mean “top”? The instances that have defederated from the most other instances? The phrasing here is odd.

Solo IT/Dev? I’m so sorry.

If I remember right, Noice started offering paid subscriptions to stream higher quality sound files from a central server. I just rolled back my install to the last version before that change (looks like 2.5.6) and disabled updating.

I’ll have to check out soothing noise player!

There’s a concept of acceptable levels of risk. Companies are not going to shut down out of fear, or miss out on the business opportunities of online presence. There’s money to be made.

Even with things as serious as spectre allowing full dumping of CPU and RAM contents simply by loading a website, I can’t think of a single company that just said “well removed, better just die”.

Serious, potentially business ending, security issues usually have a huge amount of effort when discovered put into mitigations and fixes. Mitigations are usually enough in the immediate “oh removed” phase. Defense in depth is standard practice.

The issue is that you’re being removedty.

Instead of linking to any of the many communities with the content you brought up, you sarcastically threw shade at the guy for either not already knowing about it or finding it not enough while you do.

It’s elitism over one of the most removeding pitiful things you could ever be elitist about: familiarity with an online space.

He was bringing up a personal criticism of this space, not demanding it change to fit his needs.

Really the best choice here. Hooray for open modlogs!

Yeah. Sometimes a “barrier to entry” on running commands serves as an important forced pause to help prevent people from charging headfirst into dangerous options they don’t understand.

It’s something I often have to consider at work. It’s not too hard to script out ways to make it easier to do certain things, but is the trade off of making it easier to do accidentally or without understanding the full effects worse than the hassle of doing it the “hard way”?

Yes, let’s get a list of all machines in this network segment, then loop through sending shutdown commands so everything is ready for the hardware move!

What do you mean that the switch itself is in the list of machines? And that I just shut it off prematurely, so now we need to shut down everything locally… removed.

(Details fudged to protect the guilty)

Except then no one with an nvidea gpu even has a chance of using linux. Something’s better than nothing.

Ok, but here’s the thing: OP is 20 years into a tech career and troubleshooted extensively. Even identified potential solutions that they deemed too much work for the payoff (such as compiling a software release for fedora themselves because the beta branch’s buildbot broke the fedora build).

You need to put a removed ton more emphasis on your self flagellation point, and a lot less on the love of troubleshooting. We’re beyond troubleshooting and well into the “I have more fun trying to repair an engine while it’s running than actually driving a car”

I get it, some people are more interested in making the best swiss army knife than actually using it to cut things. Just please don’t conflate it with a lack troubleshooting ability.

Most of the issues on Linux faced by end users are some variety of “if you don’t like it then code your own software dumbass”, “real programmers use butterflies”, and “you’re using it wrong, but there’s no documentation anywhere of that being the case, only tribal knowledge. OUTSIDER! OUTSIDER! BURN THE OUTSIDER!”

Especially the last one. For removeds sake, if I wanted piss poor documentation put together by overstreched amatuers, written entirely in the context of expecting everyone else to have their same deep domain knowledge, and unorganizedly spread over every far flung corner of space then I’d just move back to my old job in tech support (🥁 badum-tsh)

Can confirm, I have a Jabra Evolve 65 with AMC built in, controlled by physical button. Only app I’ve used for it is on PC to update the headset and (optional, headset also works as pure bluetooth) dongle firmwares.

You know you can edit your own posts right? No need to do something like this.

Then comment about it on posts about gnome, man. Or make your own separate post about the issues of gnome and gtk.

“Hot takes” about a different piece of software don’t do anything for discussion of the actual topic of this post.

There’s a secondary issue of the ability to delete data. The fediverse is, in a way, anti-privacy. All it takes is for one instance to defederate between when you post something and when you delete it for a copy of it to live on forever.

Expensiveness does not have to mean it isn’t priced fairly. Not everyone has the money to drop on tools like it, or is able to get their work to pay for it, even it is worth it.

MS still slurping code into Copilot from […] telemetry in VSCode.

Would you happen to have a source for that? At a cursory glance, it looks like VSCode only does that if you’re using Copilot, but if you don’t have the extension installed they aren’t.

That would be great, but remember that Victoria was a paid employee at Reddit. Lemmy isn’t a company and it’s not trying to be, so there’s no pay incentive.

I didn’t realize that you developes jerboa too! Thanks for not branding it something like “the official lemmy mobile client”

You can totally automate the Windows install process and configuration. Not even Windows sysadmins should have to be dealing with it manually.
