Caching. I’m guessing they download the internet to large storage arrays and then run neural network learning on them. Its probable they download all videos too and transcribe them later. So its not so much used for hosting content, but for teaching models.

Heh same here. I’m missing so many toolbars I regularly use in VS. I do use VScode at home but I’m always at a loss on how to do something.

The thing about CLI is that everything is hidden by default. You come to the application with your own mindset and a goal in mind and you figure out how make it do what you want.
When there’s a GUI, you often see everything that’s possible from the start and so the application dictates how you use it.

Though, you can do either with CLI and GUI as well. That’s the sweet spot I think is the best. I love it when a CLI app guides the user through a process and gives options. And a good GUI should disable OK buttons and show validation errors if not everything is entered correctly.

In a perfect world, every app has a CLI mode, interactive and non interactive and a GUI mode with full validation and responsive UI changes. But realistically, good UX is what we need, either GUI or CLI.

Cost me 200eur towards the end of 2023. Crazy, I’d sell it if I didn’t need it.

They probably will when the steam store turns to shit, valve stops supporting Linux and making hardware they want, stops doing family sharing, and pretty much removes everything from the steam client except the store.

You have to admit, valve has a pretty good reason to be liked by consumers.

I knew HTTP would make a return without its brother TLS someday!

I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people trust Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious. Like I said, there’s no way to verify what that piece of text says and the people who would be interested in e2e encryption are also that kind of people who should know what a trusted authority is.

I never used WhatsApp, but what made people think they used e2e? I’m way passed blindly believing what any company says they do without proof. I’d expect some kind of key or certificate management in the app, is that present?

Heck… my default is still to think every website does plaintext password storage. I can’t prove it, but neither can they. Stop storing my passwords in plaintext lemmy! /s

From shit to fantastic.

Find? As in the result searching? You use the search tool provided by the forum.

I don’t mind it either way, quoting another post usually provided a nice nested view with replies anyway.

I think there should be no voting at all and we went back to how it was on forums :)

I like fedora because it uses Duke Nukem Forever as its package manager.

This is the way.
I come into the office early in the morning when its still night and use the dark theme. When the sun comes out, I switch to light. Monitor brightness should blend into the surrounding light. Eye strain otherwise.

Reminds me of the time when we wrote an internal tool with strict SOLID principles. As new programmers came on, they had no idea what was going on cause no one in college told them about design patterns. Most of the OG’s quit soon after and the new guys remained.

You know, Linux is great. I love it. I run a lot of things on it. But it can be a frustrating experience. Simply put, its not a one to one replacement and it will simply not fit into some peoples lives like windows has up to this point.

My personal experience with linux desktops (some arch flavors and fedora) combined with Wayland and an Nvidia card have been pretty abysmal.
On prior Fedora’s and Endeavor, I had Firefox crashing constantly, no clue why. Crashes reduced this week with the release of Fedora 43 but its still not stable. This is something I’ve not experienced under windows ever since they rewrote firefox like… 10 years ago now?
With KDE plasma, its system apps like settings crash. I’ve not had to restart my PC with the physical restart button under windows for quite a while now. But when using KDE, the whole thing freezes and will just not respond.
I’ve tried playing some CS2 literally today and couldn’t make it through a match without a crash.
Vendor software for hardware devices (drivers) is missing linux support a lot of the time and while I appreciate open source alternatives, they just don’t cover the edge cases I had. As an example: razer rbg lighting effects stacking is non existent on linux. Open RBG works… but its not good enough.

I’m sooo ready to use KDE Plasma on a daily basis and really want to, but the stability I want is just not there yet. If you have simple use cases, don’t stray too far onto the edge, possibly have older hardware and don’t need Wayland or don’t use Nvidia, I’d definitely recommend it. I use Mint on my 14 year old laptop just fine, but its got an old ass nvidia card, uses x11 with cinnamon and I don’t game on it. Stable as a rock. I use Debian (headless) on my home server and it hasn’t crashed with a 3 year uptime.
Desktop linux on a gaming machine… I’ve just been disappointed.

Sorry for the dump. I’m voicing my frustration out of love for linux, not out of hate.

You are all wrong. They all use Pingo Linux. An abandoned Slovenian linux distro. They’re running vulnerable software, but they don’t care, they’re penguins.
