yeah, regular AOSP-likes that need you to manually flash them after support for your device is finally added are not particularly relevant compared to a security-focused fork that’s supported by several flagship phones at release. the latter can actually make it into the hands of the average person. the former, not so much. imagine trying to explain to your elderly mother how to flash lineage onto her phone.

nobody ever seems to detail what kinda bloat they mean when they say that, i don’t think they actually thought about it that deeply. nobody complains about anything specific like XUL support, for example.

how about a free prescription for lake city quiet pills with unlimited refills?

back in middle school, everyone was trying to figure out where to find a weapon in goldeneye called the “spyder.” turns out the klobb was originally called “spyder” before it was renamed for ken lobb, and lots of sites on the early internet still used the previous names even after the game released, creating a new schoolyard legend.

i would have just used the home assistant integration for blink and then have it also play the sounds.

“vegetable” doesn’t mean “plant” the same way “fruit” doesn’t mean “not a vegetable.”

this is fully intended to trick gullible people. it is absolutely about the money.

burning all these dev tokens just stabilizes or increases the price of the remaining tokens, and they couldn’t just sell them either, that would crash the price. they’re selling gta6 clips for $160k.

if you think that burning dev tokens is a sign of good will, you are a mark.

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.

the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).

the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yeah but there’s also been plenty of times i’ve been just screwed on windows where linux would have let me just go fix it myself, so that’s still “linux is the best thing ever” for me.

you forgot --no-preserve-root.

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

not even particularly confusing, it’s just two inexperienced users being inexperienced. it seems like it’s only confusing people that know OpenOffice and LibreOffice have OS X versions but somehow don’t know that not everyone knows what they’re doing.

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

i’ve never had an original thought in my life.

you’re obviously using novell netware.

c’mon, give us a hard one next time.

ideally you’d setup wireguard (or whatever) for them to use so you’re not just opening ports to the entire internet. i use jellyfin and like it a lot, but the real major issue with jellyfin is explaining to your elderly mother how to setup and use wireguard on her smart tv.
