  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    If she's an astronaut then I'm a gynecologist.

    And a plumber.

    Those titles are interchangeable.

    I can feel this image as I've been working on macos due to regulations for years and then going back to linux full time was orgasmic. Its crazy how much better dev experience on Linux is.

    Winderp has unskippable ads and begging for paid subscriptions even in their card games now. Can't even play Solitaire in peace. It's just a deeply enshittified OS.

    Why can’t Windows just work? It’s such a frustrating experience

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

    I can't watch Disney plus in the browser on Linux, which kinda sucks. Fuck Disney, but also, anybody knows how to fix it? I tried changing the user agent override, but that didn't work.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Does it work in (proprietary) chrome?
    iirc it also works in ms-edge for linux.

    I can watch all the stream services from Linux you should enable DRM.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    VM Windows. Downsides: obvious. Upsides: you can give it a funny name, like, Mousesoft Cheesedoughs Disney-bution.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    You have to enable DRM in Firefox, then it will work. But Disney only allows low resolution streams over browsers.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    It's enabled

    Its too long ago since I have pirated anything, don't know remember how, also don't wanna download malware lol

    Find a good torrent site (PM me if you need an invite), get a VPN and use qbittorrent.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

    QbitTorrent is a libre bitTorrent software and just pair it up with mullvadVPN in a random country away from yours somewhere and you'll be golden.

    Edit: typo. Also, taking over a cargo ship forcefully is unnecessary if you just want to watch Disney+. Using bitTorrent is easier. /s

    My new job issued me with a sweet ass workstation laptop... With W11

    Upside is that the IT dept has about zero awareness of the governance part of cyber security. The laptop has an unlocked bios and coworkers have had no questions asked when their domain joined machines didn't check in for years.

    So guess who's about to swap the ssd and roll the machine for a debian based distro. Just need to figure out drivers for the nvidia rtx 1000 ada GPU

    I one time left a job where everyone had Linux workstations and went into a finance job where developers were using windows. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.

    To begin with, the PCs were highly restrictive. You either had to rely on a shitty service to request software to be installed, or had to beg for an admin account to install anything. This took days if not weeks already on onboard.

    One works with interfaces that hide the actual process. No one actually understood git. They just know a few sequences of buttons. They ask me all the time when they want to do something other then add,commit,push and have no idea about even the status command. They pull up some shitty cli tool, usually within an IDE, and they act as if I'm some sort of genni or know some black magic when I type "git status", or do things like stash, or solve a conflict.

    The lack of automation possibilities, or scripting, or the fact that so many things have to be done by clicking around interfaces means that everything is super slow. There is friction everywhere! On top of this you get apps freezing or crashing randomly with no information of what happened. Somehow the PCs are so incredibly bloated with company spywares that despite the fact that they are suppose to be Lenovo Ultrabooks with a lot of RAM, SSDs, and a good CPU, they run like a 15 years old laptop with a half broken hard drive.

    Horrible, just horrible.

    Ah you must be the new hire at my firm, welcome!

    She looks practiced... A little too practiced.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Same with Android after having to endure iOS for a few minutes

    WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BACK BUTTON??

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

    I have had to use windows for like the last two weeks and the taskbar crashes and freezes constantly so I put a bat file on my desktop that kills and reopens explorer.exe also if my bluetooth headphones disconnect while my mic is muted it refuses to unmute... I have to reboot. This is what people say is a "it just works" experience.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    No one has more problems on windows than a linux-first user.

    Every thread like this has people that can't seem to get windows to do the bare minimum, but I have yet to have a single hiccup in months. I don't get it. This isn't even a "linux bad" comment, I dual boot and enjoy my linux install as well, the only "problems" I have on there are from being new to linux.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

    I'm wondering if some of those issues are just simple annoyances that Windows users are used to putting up with. Because I had lots of those before switching to Linux that I didn't think were fixable.

    The only time I had my windows install be completely unbootable was when dual booting. The rest was always an issue.

    Was helping a friend install Windows on his new PC this week and my god it was such an awful experience. Just looking at the start menu had me in tears.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Must not be a good friend if you installed windows on his PC.

    A decent prank though.

    Literally me after using my moms Windows 11 Laptop for 10 Minutes.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    How can you not love W11? It has more telemetry, AI, privacy violating features, garbage uit (not to mention double ui for the same thing) than ever.

    Perfect right?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Are you still Katy Perry or was it a temporary affliction?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

    Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?

    Unless we're ridiculing them, obvs.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

    They were not space tourists.

    They were cargo. Marketing material for Jeff's rocket-powered overcompensation that just happened to need oxygen to stay fresh.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn't of them being in space or doing any of the "tourism" parts, but of them being "so grateful to be on the ground" because they couldn't "handle it"

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

    Looks to me like the reader (the Linux user) is identifying with the subject of the image, which would appear to put them in a sympathetic light.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    This is attention whore activity. There were people stuck on the ISS for what like nine months, did they kiss the earth when they returned? These people willingly go to barely the edge of the atmosphere for like two minutes and this is their response when they returned?

    OTOH Windows does suck. Though again I’m guessing no one is switch back for ten minutes by choice.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

    tbh 9 months on iss isn't too long, they're experienced astronauts and they had their ride back docked to the iss for a long while anyway. it's probably way more miserable having to hang out with dumbass celebrities for the rest of your life
