I haven't used Windows personally in about 15 years and professionally in about 10. I'm pretty useless on anything newer than XP. I even got my wife to switch over to a Mac Mini because at least that has a Unix-like OS and she can still do her audio work on it (in fact, better than a Windows system because their patch QA is light-years ahead of the MS "fuck it, it'll break some systems but we'll get that next patch Tuesday" approach).
That's not to say that I like Apple. I just dislike their OS less than Windows.
You have experienced the pinnacle of Windows (we could probably also add Windows 7 to this). Do yourself a favor and never touch a Windows 10 and especially Windows 11 machine. It’s unimaginable how Microsoft managed to break everything that was working and how clever they are in terms of marketing to sell you stuff you don’t need.
They made me finally switch to Linux because my paid 365 subscription offered me to try the new outlook because Windows Mail was to be discontinued in future. I activated the test and the fun began: Only one of seven accounts was imported into outlook. Of course it was the only Microsoft account (Outlook). All other Accounts were ignored. I thought „Ok migration didn’t work, I’ll do it later manually“ I had a new email. I clicked on it. Edge opened although Firefox was my standard browser. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that I was clickbaited into opening an advertisement by one of the biggest companies on this planet.
This made me immediately stop my work and install Linux Mint. I’m not going back any time soon.
For job related reasons I have to use a lot of VMs. Unfortunately most of them are Windows 10. I created a naked installation years ago and basically use this as the base for individual development VMs. One of these annoyed me for days to make an update. All I could click was „remind me in one hour“ or update immediately. So I chose the one hour a lot of times. I finally let it update. Now my (Windows default!) task bar is transparent and also the whole windows menu. A colleague using the same VM with the latest updates (without changes to installed software) has no issues.
Did that for my sister but nowadays I just use the excuse: "Sorry I can't help you, I don't use Windows anymore".
The real problem is when a relative know that I'm computer guy and ask me to fix the TV/air conditioner or like my father once did: setup an antenna
Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes
Edsger W. Dijkstra
The biggest career mistake I've ever made is opening an Excel macro and changing two characters to make it count a thing again.
I was then permanently labelled Cracks the Technomancer, master of all things technology. It fucking sucks.
Especially this time of year when people are panicking for whatever reason, people are travelling, people are coming and going, people are buying laptops, devices and phones and the majority of them don't know how digital files or folders even work (or where they are in a digital system).
If you know anything about computers .... just pretend you don't know anything like everyone else. It will save you so much work and headaches this time of year.
And don't get soft either .... cute girl asking for help? NO ... old grandma has a new laptop? NO ... your dying relative has a new phone? NO! .... your two year old niece has a new tablet? NO! ... your drug dealer wants to lower your debt in exchange for fixing their PC? HELL NO!!!
your drug dealer wants to lower your debt in exchange for fixing their PC? HELL NO!!!
nuh uh, if i'm getting paid (getting paid in reduced debt is still paid cuz it's money i was gonna give him anyway) i'll do whatever
Relative: You know about computers, right?
Me: I'm not sure. Who knows about computers, really? In the words of W.S. McCulloch, "What is a number, that a man may know it, and a man, that he may know a number?" (if you'll pardon the gendered language) Now if you extend this to computation...
Relative: All right, STFU, I just wanted to know how to update my Amazon account...
What is a number, that a man may know it?
Lets start with natural numbers and define the integers, rational, real and complex numbers as solutions to certain equations.
and a man, that he may know a number?
Now you asked for to much.
Computer science has absolutely nothing to do with support, they are totally different fields with totally different skill sets.
Most programmers I've known would be garbage at support and most support staff might be able to do some scripting but sure as hell aren't coders.
Computer science has absolutely nothing to do with support, they are totally different fields with totally different skill sets.
That also holds for computer science and programming :)
understanding how a cpu works and how to write efficient programs is the easy part.
understanding why windows does [anything] is the hard part.
Yeah, just read that their newest server OS puts a recovery partition to the right of the primary partition by default.
Which is completely useless on a server, and prevents you from growing the partition when you run out of space.
At this point, they're basically saying "Office and AD guarantee our monopoly, so we can push out literal monkey shit, and tell admins to deal with it."
Generally, but I am likely missing some stuff:
Computer Science: The underlying theory around making efficient computer software (I would consider the hardware side computer engineering)
Information Technology: the process of managing computer software and hardware systems for an organization
Software Engineering: the process of developing software including writing code, prioritizing features / bug fixes
Tech Support: part of IT. Troubleshooting and resolving issues with an organizations hardware and software systems
"Wait, they got rid of the green hill????"
I do that too but only because it's much easier to help my relatives with Linux than those with Windows.
I even "convert" some people because Llinux is easier for them if I just manage it. I had a neighbor that was using Window on a very old computer, it was slow and choking under the weight of simple updates. Plus, she was always asking me why her computer kept rebooting by itself while it was obviously Windows update. So I installed Mint and all the problems went away.
Anyway I don't want to have to deal with Microsoft accounts, licenses, office365, the general bloat, the ads, the new versions of Windows... I have enough at work, so if I am going to help on my free time, it has to be on the OS I find easier to deal with.
I actually like helping people a lot, too.
I don't think IT folks are naturally misanthropic or antisocial, but I personally got beat down so much by wanting to help and realizing they didn't care to listen, or weren't willing to learn anything. At all. Even though they came to me with the problem, it seemed they mostly just wanted me to fix it for them with zero understanding required, or to "be emotional at someone" or were lonely.
I also got so tired of being friendly and enthusiastically educational with advising my relatives or friends, only to then watch them completely disregard 100% of my advice they came to me for.
In the former job I'm still putting myself back together from, most of the public peoples who visited me would have been better served by visiting a psychologist / therapist first, but I was cheaper (free). :(
Often when it's something I do specialize in and I get all excited, that's when they choose to gloss over and I can tell they just want me to stop talking.
I hate having biases against people, but there very much are definitely "normies" who are threatened by the prospect of having to activate their neurons for the first time since they stumbled out of their highest level of education, and only learned to think when it was forced upon them.
Makes a guy feel pretty crappy. So I'm not as forthcoming with my skillset as I used to be in casual company. Lol
I think what you are describing is teaching not helping. Helping someone is just doing the thing they need help with and thats it. Its not a prerequisite that someone learn something if your goal is just to help them but it is if your goal is to teach them something.
It is nice when people share your interests and want to learn but everyone's got their own stuff going on and sometimes can't make room for something new like that.
Except in a minority of scenerios, helping someone do something ≠ doing that thing yourself. It could mean less, or, at times, even more than that.
Take the familiar example of helping a blind man cross street. While you do cross the street with him, the fella ALSO WALKS with you and crosses the street on his legs, not yours.
Are you implying you would be teaching that man how to walk?
When you help someone on a computer, they come along with you too, just like the blind guy. And just like the blind guy, them coming along with you does not mean they will be able to do it themselves next time, or that they want to do it alone next time.
This sounds a lot like "only my perspective is correct" type stuff.
I pointed that the meaning of a particular word is more general than what was assumed in the previous post. Drawing meaning from a different perspective in the example I gave as usage, reinforces my point.
In fact it would support my point even more if a third view/meaning of the same example is presented, like, some helper of the blind guy chooses to give him lift in a car, or, some rich philanthropist donating an automated AI/IoT controlled wheelchair to the blind guy, etc - in which the act of walking itself is omitted from help provided.
What they mean: "Can you fix this bug in Microsoft's software?"
I was legally contracted to say yes.
At least it was satisfying to answer NO when the question involved their personal (not a company one) acer cheap mall laptop filled with mcafee, bloatware and socuh combined with the slowest low capacity hdd in existence.
Hell NO

I get a bad Gateway error. Does this link work for anyone? Or did Valve take the document down / private?
In close collaboration with Valve
Sounds to me like they will open it to other manufacturers, but this could mean that they are releasing it publicly also. I’m excited!
This sounds great, if the streaming to the headset is lossless. And the streaming isn’t a huge drain on the battery. (High bandwidth super low latency streaming is usually a strain on batteries).
All of the high quality wireless adapters for things like the Vive and Index have gotten hot, too.
If it’s just h.265 streaming… fuck that. Dark scenes always look like shit.
Hopefully there are mandatory support periods.
Remember all those Google Home devices from 3rd-party partners that got updated to stay current? Remember? Remember?!?
It depends on how the program works. If SteamOS works like Android then yeah we might be cooked on the hardware support. If SteamOS works like a normal linux distro/OS we'll get more support.
In practice this is a good thing because most of the parts of SteamOS are open source, meaning that as long as you don't have a device with a locked bootloader you'd be able to run comparable OS simply using all the software that's bundled in Steam OS.
I'm sure that's available somewhere too; it's not as if Valve is massively violating the GPL or something. (If they were, it would've been big news by now.)
Edit: I don't get it; what'd I say that's so upsetting/controversial/wrong?
I guess I need to verify instead of just having faith. It took a minute to find, but the FOSS parts of SteamOS (version 3, for the Steam Deck) are indeed available here: gitlab.steamos.cloud/public
it's only meant to work on steam deck, if you have a computer similar to what the steam deck uses, i can also work there, but there are issues with that. Like hackintosh, basically.
There's no reason to do that though, because you could just use something like bazzite.
SteamOS as a whole is not open source. Most of it is, but it also includes proprietary software (e.g. Steam itself). This is likely why you were downvoted, as SteamOS can be kept private without violating any license thus your first statement was false.
Valve could distribute each single piece of open source software they use on request to their customers, without publishing any guide to actually build it. (Thanks for linking to Valve's repo, which seems to match this statement.)
This is how Apple does it with Darwin, the BSD-derived open source core of macOS. Without all the proprietary parts it's not useful as an OS, even though they follow all the necessary licensing.
But the standard BSD license is permissive, therefore Apple doesn't need to do that.
The GPL still applies to large parts of SteamOS (at least the kernel though since it's arch based there's probably more). So for those source code needs to be provided.
But then again, I'm no graphics designer!

Not sure if that's a joke about a since-corrected typo or if you're serious.
Just in case serious, it's the Linux-based operating system that runs on the Steam Deck, and soon to be related devices. So, Linux modified to work better for gaming, especially with Steam.
Honestly, the Steam Deck has done more for gaming on Linux than just about anything in recent years. Not least because it spurred significant improvements in the software that allows you to run Windows software in Linux (Proton, which is a fork of Wine), since a big chunk of the Steam library doesn't have an actual Linux version.
Like Android, iOS and MacOS, the core conceit of Steam OS is emphasizing usability on a particular set of devices (in this case gaming handhelds, but presumably eventually consoles too since the whole thing is designed around controller inputs as a central UX concern) for a system whose guts are ultimately built on Linux or Unix, but with the worst of the fiddly bits abstracted away and hidden from most end users.
Possibly related, but I was able to download a distrobox image of SteamOS through BoxBuddy. Dunno if it's legit or what, but I was able to play games through it (though made no sense to). This was a week or two ago that I saw it on the dropdown when installing a new box.
Edit: I see other people in this thread mentioning some old steamos so maybe it's that I dunno, maybe I will check later.
For those of you who is hyped, what is that so good with SteamOS, please? Honest question.
Own a Steam Deck myself. I ran SteamOS for about two months, I think, then I finally had enough of it because I really want to install some software of my choice on it, and having some control over the machine in general. But SteamOS is putting an immutable layer on top of it somehow and reset the changes I made every time I updated it. Forgive me for I don't remember much detail.
Now I run Gentoo on it. I can still install Steam and all the games if I want, and I have full control of it.
However the details of this pan out, the timing of this news is beautiful. It’s right there alongside the headline in my feed about the Windows 11 market share going down.
And it’s not about being anti-Microsoft, it’s just that the market conditions are great for cementing Linux as an expected place to release your games. And I personally love seeing VR as part of it.
Is there a tutorial for noobs to install a Linux distro along those 2 games for newbies? I would like it to coexist with my current Windows 11 just in case.
I don't have a tutorial, but once you do have a Linux install, for standalone games I can recommend checking out Lutris. It has many user-provided install scripts that can set up games automatically, seems to include Guild Wars 2: lutris.net/games/guild-wars-2/
Interestingly, Guild Wars 2 is apparently also on steam - for steam games I recommend looking them up on protondb, in many cases windows-only games work out of the box, but if you're not afraid to do a bit of tweaking, you can often find fixes there: protondb.com/app/1284210
You can use WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) to run a Linux VM on your windows machine alongside any other applications. I would recommend that.
To be able to select the OS on startup is called dual boot. This is more complicated though so you might not want to start there if you don't know PCs and don't want to put effort into learning.
A Linux version that finds widespread use is called Ubuntu. You likely want the latest stable version.
Linux mint is a stable distro that I would recommend to beginners. Or maybe Nobara or Bazzite would be a good choice too. Use whatever distro you like most.
All you really would have to do after installing your distro is to install Steam and enable "Steam Play" in settings. It allows Windows games to run on Linux. Then you install Civilization V through Steam as normal and when installing Guild Wars 2 you can use Steam as well. Run the installer as a non-steam app and install it. Then run the game exe through Steam once it's installed.
There should be good guides online (YouTube or Google) for installing Linux Mint alongside Windows.
Once you have your system installed feel free to let me know if you need help with Steam and getting the games running
Now it’s in a loop of ‘building vulkan shaders’ or something like that, it takes hours.
Honestly, I thought this process was going yo be easier, I have used so many terminal commands that I feel I’m in the old days of MsDos.
Using Linux for gaming is harder then using it for coding or web-browsing 🌐.
Especially if you run closed source games like Guildwars 🎮. In my experience open source games like minetest or supertux run better.
Building vulkan shaders seems familiar: Do you use steam?
Like everything that this goon touches, this neuralink shit is a farce. The leads need to be placed very specifically, then they need to not move with brain growth. They move, and fail, and then musk doctors get to open your head up again to reset them. This shit is never going to be viable. With muskrat involved it is certainly to be a grift.
But, this company synchron has it figured out. No placing leads, no open brain surgery. Outpatient install, and adaptive. Thing becomes part of the vein wall.
I don't think you've met enough humans yet.
I think a lot of people can realize how much is too much at once. Far less can recognize how much is too much over a long time period.

Gotta finesse it a bit. Gradually go up, until you max it half way through a song you like and decide to restart it
Even if you wanted some proprietary tech installed in your body, it seems like such a terrible idea. What happens when the thing is obsolete? What happens if there is a bug? What happens when Elons team didn't consider some edge case or basic engineering principles? What is to prevent them from doing something unethical once it is installed?
Stay out of my brain, thank you very much.
We will welcome hackers!!

Heroes we will need but won't deserve.
Megacorps will stream constant ads directly to your brainhole & cause pain if you don't consume enough - even a rickroll will be a big improvement from the dystopian reality.
Nice to see Musk having some real wholesome inspirations.
What's next, recreating Torment Nexus from the famous novel "Don't Create Torment Nexus"? Though Elon brain chips is already Torment Nexus for all the monkeys who lived and died in insane pain in the development process.
The people didn’t hold President Yoon accountable. Parliament did.
We have the same system in the US. Congress holds the US President accountable the same way Parliament held Yoon accountable, with a vote.
The problem is that we voted in a fuckton of Trump loyalists as a nation, and it’ll be up to them to hold him accountable. We’ll get what we asked for.
The problem is, we voted in a fuckton of Trump loyalists as a nation, and it’ll be up to them to hold him accountable.
Yeah… that’s the uneducated citizens part dude…
My mistake, and yes, I’m fully aware of the democratic process. Are you aware that many of the people who voted for Trump are voting for a coup?
My point is that the US citizens that want to stop Trump are now powerless to do so, whether they voted and stumped for Harris, or have since changed their mind about Trump. Between SCOTUS’s ruling and Trump’s prior use of National Guard, there will be no safe way to protest.
Condescension in no way helps those who oppose Trump. Be constructive if you truly care.
They weren’t powerless dude, and it was the lack of education for the last century that lead to it.
You’re trying to blame something other than the problem dude, you don’t have a point here, you’re just bitching about what everyone already knows, but it apparently needs to be pointed out to Americans.
You’re preaching to the choir. Most of Lemmy is anti-Trump. Maybe they should post this somewhere where people haven’t spent the last eight months discussing ways to stop him.
We get it. We don’t want him either. There’s also no stopping a coup if that’s what he sets his sights on.
There’s also no stopping a coup if that’s what he sets his sights on.
Wait isn’t that why your citizens are armed? To stop this exact thing…?
Dude go bitch somewhere else lmfao. And again, not my meme you muppet.
Again with the condescension. You must have made a lot of friends with that winning personality.
Have a good day.
You are the one making the asinine claim that the citizens don’t have the power dude…
It’s funny how you’re insulting me and call out my personality you muppet lmfao.
And for the last fucking time, it’s not my fucking meme dude lmfao, seriously.
Dude called me condescending for only pointing out they missed the entire joke, that’s an insult, which they started. And they were totally incorrect about it being my meme. So they couldn’t even get their facts straight before insulting me, so yeah why should I have any respect for an idiot like that?
He wanted to bitch and got called out and started their first response with an insult since they had no intentions of having an actually discussion. They just wanted to bitch and be heard.
But sure say someone has insecurities because they’re defending themselves against a troll, what does that make you…?
You were being a dick and the sooner you realize it the sooner you can work on that. Obviously youre the one who cant handle being called out.
PS: justifying your shitty behaviour by pretending the other is a troll is seriously sad.
Oh no, another asshole thinks I’m an asshole, what ever am I going to do.
It’s always funny when an asshole tries to call someone else out, do you even have any upvoted comments in your history? All you do is bitch about others and get downvoted.
You’re the troll here, and so is the other user getting pissy because they got caught bitching about the wrong thing.
And again, dude has thought it was my meme, I corrected them twice politely and they refused to acknowledge the point, how the fuck is that being “respectful” you fucking muppet.
I’m not justifying shitty behavior, I give people the same behavior back, dude said I was condescending and talked about “my meme”, if the moron can’t tell who posted the meme and needs to be told multiple times, do you seriously think that’s someone who’s capable of having a good faith discussion…?
Funny how me calling you out immediately makes me an asshole in your eyes^^ really show how down to earth you are.
Also how fckin delusional do u have to be to shit on my comment history while 90% of your comments have negative votes. Wtf xD
Funny how me calling you out immediately makes me an asshole in your eyes^^ really show how down to earth you are.
Putting words in my mouth? Where did I say that in my first response to you.
Also how fckin delusional do u have to be to shit on my comment history while 90% of your comments have negative votes. Wtf xD
They don’t? Why lie. I went a week through your comments and I think there were maybe 5 comments at the time that had positive, in this thread alone I have more than that, and only the 2 comments that are heavily downvoted.
This shit is public dude, anyone who goes through my history will see that you’re just making shit up yourself now too, like the person who continually thought I posted this meme….
But I’m just gonna block you and end this bullshit since you’re just a troll. Bye!
Again with the troll bs? Youre so embarrassing.
Like you just said, its public, so why would you say Im lying? Theres noone reading your comment besides me, noone to prove anything to other than yourself. Also comment upvotes dont mean shit, I dont fucking care if youre controversial or whatever, youre the one who started this childish debate.
Please seriously think about how you treat people. If everyone that doesnt kiss your ass when you insult them is a troll to you, youre gonna live a very sad life.
Wait isn’t that why your citizens are armed? To stop this exact thing…?
No, we're armed to stop an invading army. We put that in the bill of rights while keeping one eye on France and the other on Britain. All of our laws and traditions regarding the government were written assuming that the people would only vote for someone who wanted to do a good job being president.
It turns out that when you design a country to favor rich men, then let those rich men amass unfathomable generational wealth and teach the populace that money and power=trustworthiness, you end up with a fetid cesspool. As you pointed out, the people certainly aren't powerless in this situation, just too uninformed, misinformed, and afraid to do anything about it. You're talking about a country where people say that corporations are evil but somehow empowering the people with unions is worse. We say that billionaires are manipulating the country and destroying politics, and then vote for a (alleged) billionaires. The leopards aren't just eating our faces, we're even making up excuses for the leopards between bloodcurdling screams and say that this is the only way to hurt other people, as if siccing leopards on your peers is actually a reasonable course of action.
We aren't stupid, we're aggressively stupid.
No, we're armed to stop an invading army. We put that in the bill of rights while keeping one eye on France and the other on Britain
Original intent yeah, but everyone’s armed for other various reasons, immigrants, blacks, women, trans, etc.
Your citizens are armed, and they could act as an army, unfortunately it’s disjointed and the are armed for the wrong reasons. They could absolutely stop the coup, unfortunately the ones with the guns would be doing the coup….. as the ones that need the guns don’t have or can’t get them. They’re available to all the wrong people.
It feels kinda like an old vaudevillian joke... If a Russian battalion were to arrive at your doorstep and demand that you house them and that your compliance would be looked at favorably when Russia takes over—not only would you be constitutionally protected if you chose to shoot them, you'd likely be lauded as a hero.
But when a Russian asset takes over and compromises our country, well, good luck finding the legal loophole to justify shooting a president.
And here, laws mean everything. It's why immigrants are illegal, shoplifting is bad, landlords are good, and more money=more free speech. Then again, a coup is supposed to be illegal, so once again, I direct you to my previous response: "we're aggressively dumb."
Yeah… that’s the uneducated citizens part dude…
Yes and no. Yes, it is true that more uneducated people voted for Trump, and lack of education means people do not understand the risks and negative implications of voting for Trump over Harros for themselves. No, that argument doesn't explain the whole picture. It is also true that educated people who understand the implications voted for him anyway because they saw it as benefiting them/their worldviews. Keep in mind half of college educated male voters and over a third of college educated female voters went for Trump.
Keep in mind half of college educated male voters and over a third of college educated female voters went for Trump.
USA educated* we just talked about how the education system is broken dude….
Still,I think we have different meanings of "educated"
The people didn’t hold President Yoon accountable. Parliament did.
How do you think representative government is supposed to work?
I have to do it all the time. I was born and raised in the south by (relatively) liberal parents. I recognize that some of my neighbors my not be up to the standards of the rest of the country, but (I can't believe I have to say this out loud) we shouldn't ostracize a geographic region of people because of social issues.
Social reform isn't achieved by running up to someone and saying "You're an uninformed idiot from a flyover state and what you believe is incorrect." It's achieved by saying, "I know you don't really mean that" when someone says some weird shit and calling them out in a more neutral environment. Unfortunately you have to convince people to be better. It's too easy to just close yourself off and decline into your own beliefs.
It's achieved by saying, "I know you don't really mean that" when someone says some weird shit
And what if, as frequently happens, they do in fact mean it?
Well, I won't lie. It's difficult.
Ideally you'd know this person and interact with them somewhat regularly. If it's online or this person believes they can ignore you without consequence then it won't matter how you address them beyond that initial interaction.
Don't use that as an excuse to feed into their believes though. There's a chance someone they know is already trying to coax them back to reality. If anything in that interaction makes them feel justified, it'll take 20x the effort to undo the mental hoops they'll jump through to rationalize the rest of their feelings.
It sucks. It's not fair to those impacted, but this is the only way to stop this radicalization and hardheadedness that plagues people nowadays.
Let the idiots have their racist homophobic dictatorship if that's what they want.
I'm sure it would never cause any lasting problems, sharing a substantial land border with an actively malicious enemy nation. /s
Besides, allowing them to leave because they wanted to continue actions antithetical to our values would be tacitly condoning them. "You can keep on trafficking humans, we just don't want any part of it" is a pretty cold-blooded response.
No, letting them go was never a valid option. We just needed to actually finish reconstruction. You can thank John Wilkes Booth for eliminating that.
It’s never going to be resolved.
I think it was resolved, but then Johnson got elected, pardoned the entire Confederate South including Jefferson Davis, and rolled back reconstruction. And the south benefited from electoral success by counting the slave population toward their number of representatives despite disenfranchising them.
I don't have a real end point or pin to this thought but there's solvable electoral process things that could change the outcomes. The upsetting thing right now is disenchantment in the power of procedures to affect outcome which (1) in some sense is just an unfortunate truth but (2) in another sense is a self fulfilling prophecy as we lose touch of how processes can control outcomes.
Kinda crazy that Hitler was put in jail for his coup attempt, while Trump evaded any and all consequences from his. Not that it stopped Hitler from rising to power...
But, while not directly comparable, it's in a way ironic that Hitler seemingly faced harsher consequences than Trump, even though Hitler's time in prison wasn't exactly tough for him.
The Millitary isn’t bound by some electoral laws of the universe, they just as easily could have said the vote was illigetimate.
Well I mean they are bound by laws, to the extent that laws have meaning. And responding to legal instruction would seem to validate the force and efficacy of the legal system, right?
The right wing propaganda machine is too powerful. A close friend of mine works a trade and he's constantly being engaged with right wing talking points. He voted for Trump. He lives with another close friend who has a master's in history who constantly refutes all the talking points but I doesn't matter when all his coworkers, his social media and online media are riling him up with this shit.
At my job I've spoken to Hispanics, that can barely speak English, that are die-hard Trump fanatics. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills.
Yeah this is a read on power that's made by babies and libs.
"They said the magic words that made the law spell work. Why can't you do that America???"
Yoon's coup failed because he failed to secure the centers of power (in SK this is literally the chaebol families) in his corner, not because the Parliament did a ritual.
Also a two party system with the one they consider being centrist having an ethnic supremacy wing.
The Koreas seem to be just slightly different flavors of authoritarian dystopias.
Also a two party system with the one they consider being centrist having an ethnic supremacy wing.
That's mostly result of being occupied by a militant fascist nation who tried to do several decades of cultural genocide.
The people's power party's version also has an ethnic supremacy wing, but for the Japanese. The new right movement somehow has some weird Koreans that want to restore imperial Japanese power in Korea.
I don't understand how so many Americans buy the "North Korea is a cartoonish dictatorship" line so easily. It's obvious that you can make up any story about it, no matter how outlandish, and the media will just print it uncritically.
It's like a kid making up crazy stories about their cousin. The kid is full of shit half the time -- you don't believe the other half, you conclude that nothing that kid has to say about his cousin is reliable.
Americans love fasicsm. That's why we voted for it. Despite the copious amount of warnings we received from the proto-fascist's ex-associates and top military personnel, not to mention unbelievably blatant examples from the proto-fascist himself.
Maybe we can have Nazi rallies at Madison Square Garden like we did in the 30s. We came pretty close a couple months ago.
It’s not even about being underfunded. It’s about forcing all students into public school when they aren’t all on the same level when it comes to intelligence or capability to learn, much less their home support system.

It’s about forcing all students into public school when they aren’t all on the same level when it comes to intelligence or capability to learn
Huh? Don't most public schools offer various levels of the same subject for this reason? Like remedial, honors, AP, etc. In what way is this problem solved by private schools? Unless you're implying that home schooling solves this problem, which yeah sure if one of the parents works full time teaching their children and also has a high level of education themself as well as the relevant skills. Not something that can actually be scaled out across the country. And history has shown that homeschooling typically leads to inferior education.
The schools that spend the least per student have the best scores
Yeah that doesn't sound right at all. You got a source?
Here's some sources:
A 10% increase in school spending improved test scores by 0.05 to 0.09 standard deviations
Oh wait these sources agree with you and that guys probably full of crap.
The European retards say things like this as though they themselves haven't swung far right lately. Pot meet kettle.
This is just typical America bad copium by the Europoors and internalized hate by American Euroboos.

In my limited knowledge, that only recently applies to Brazil. For South Korea, it's too early to know for sure how stuff will develop.

Windows-like middle-mouse button behaviour?
On Windows, if you click MMB on some windows, your mouse cursor will turn into a little ↕️ icon, and then you can scroll by moving the mouse cursor up and down, with it going faster the further you drag away from the position it was originally at.
This is one (1) behaviour I miss from Windows. Hours upon hours of scroll-wheeling makes my joints quite tired.
But well. Linux is nothing if not customisable, so I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate this behaviour on it.
I'm on KDE Plasma.

In Firefox (and many forks of it) this is a setting in the app preferences, I think it is called "~~smooth scrolling~~ autoscrolling" or similar.
In most other apps I do not think this is possible.
edited, thanks for correction below
...but then you're losing quick copy and paste.
Select text then middle click on the window you want to paste it. No keys. Select and a single click.
Of course, if you have more than three mouse buttons you can do both.
Eh?
I don't paste things as often as I scroll. Plus, my brain associates copying and pasting with the keyboard commands, from 20+ years of doing -- That.
Edit-to-answer-your-edit: My mouse has 7 buttons, I'm golden.
Call it a reverse curb-cut effect, I first discovered it when I was a teenager, and back then I'd sometimes use it out of laziness or because it was quicker (ah how I miss being young and immune to pain)
Then when time happened and I started having arthritis flareups, it was there to help me, and I was like "heck, that's a neat thing for accessibility"
i've come to this in the opposite direction as you. when i switched to linux full time; that middle mouse button wasn't so ubiquitously set as you've described it (none of the windows systems i've owned had it); but the middle mouse button on linux has been ubiquitously set as a 2nd clipboard since the 1970's.
i've grown so accustomed that the middle mouse button gives me a second copy/paste that i had trouble with it when i bought my first linux laptop and the built-in kde decided to mimic that window's scroll just like you described it and i had to learn how to turn it off. lol
OP, there are two parts to this.
One is handles by your Desktop Environment for desktop scrolling outside of apps. Others have mentioned this.
The other is handled directly by browsers.
To enable this for browsers:
Firefox:
under about:config, the key general.autoScroll needs to be set to true
Chrome:
Chrome (and any electron based apps) needs to have the following additional flag added to launch with support for middle click scroll:--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll
I would also advise you to map 2 of your mouse buttons to scroll up and scroll down, that way you can just hold a key down to scroll instead of shaking your mouse around using the autoscroll arrows.
The Firefox one is enabled already. I don't do Chrome(ium) unless I absolutely have no choice.
.... But yeah I'd like to enable it for other applications. Dunno if it is possible though.
I have a couple of Logitech Mx Master 3S mice I use. One really nice feature is that you can 'unlock' the mouse scroll wheel so that there's no resistance. Just spin it fast and it'll keep scrolling for quite a long time.
Actually this most recent version will do click scrolling when the wheel is spun at low speeds, but unlock and let the wheel fly when spun faster. Really great feature.
I know it's also not what you were asking about, but I don't know of that feature in Linux.
I actually have one of those Logi mice with unlockable scrollwheels
...... I only lock it for playing FPSes, to use the wheel to switch weapons. Otherwise it stays unlocked for minimal resistance.
I wish KDE was a little more customizable on that front, I can either have it be left corner for left click, middle bottom for middle click and right bottom for right click, OR click anywhere and it's a left click and do multi finger pressed for mid/right click.
I just want left and right click, I have a superwide TouchPad on this laptop and the amount of times I close shit (why is middle mouse close for so many things?) is quite irritating.
FOSSIL: A complete Git alternative
I would like to introduce you lovely OpenSource Lovers to a GIT-Alternative called FOSSIL that I also stumbled upon because of this Blog.
It's basically opensource Github-in-a-box which means it's an SCM with:
* Bug-tracker
* Ticketting-system
* Forum
* Wiki-system
* even a Chat-functionality
* Has built-in GUI
* Also has a Web-Server
* Self-Hostable like Gitea/Forgejo
& the best part it's all in ONE STANDALONE FILE!!! which is extremely lightweight which you can copy to your $PATH & works even in crappy internet. how cool is that!!
However this tool supports a completely different style of development in FOSS called the "Cathedral-Style" whereas GIT suports a "Bazaar-Style"
The person behind Fossil is the creator of SQLite, Dr.Richard Hipp & they even made other projects to support Fossil like a PIC-Like language called PikChr
Well just in case; here's a list of difference between Git vs Fossil
& guess what!! they even have a hosting service called CHISEL
Listen; Just check it out & use it for fun in your spare time even with the flaws it has (& Try out Darcs & Pijul as well)
I think "Not Invented Here". Meaning he wants to build everything himself from scratch despite there being alternatives he can use instead.
E.g.: Building your own httprequest library rather than using the existing one which is good enough.

Also according to the creator of Fossil he WANTS Git to have the features that Fossil has.
He WANTS people to fork his creation, if they like to.
& Fossil uses SQLite to store data
Git is far from user friendly but that's a design consideration from a decentralized architecture. Fossil will have the same considerations. People need to learn how to use Git.
The problem is there's only one person who really knows how to use it: Linus.

Look at the size of Fossil & compare
So GIT has a ticketting system, a Wiki, Bug-tracker built-into it along with a Version-tracker
It also has a Sync All command (I'm sure Git also has it Somewhere)
??
I'm so fuckin tired of hearing x is user unfriendly, it's not intuitive enough.
Like fuckin yeah. Sometimes you have to actually learn something new to use something new when I first started driving it wasn't user friendly. I had to learn how to do it
Am I missing something?
No and, in fact, this was (and still is) a selling point of Git over the alternatives (e.g. Subversion) available at the time that required you to "check out" some code and no one else could check out/modify that code while you had it checked out.
Rebasing is for advanced git users who knows what he's doing. If one does not know how to use it or not feeling comfortable in general, he can happily take his own code and try to merge it into the latest version instead. No one is judging.
For the rest of the world where projects are open-source, more often than not, not those projects inside a corporation where only the team lead is making decisions, it's a powerful tool to settle down conflicts sort out history.
One does not need to change the history again, if he's not comfortable with it. Just use git as if it's centralised VCS like SVN. No big deal. In fact, in corporations you do. There only needs to be one person who manages the repository.
Do you live in a world where storage is expensive or rare? Because I more or less forgot the meaning of deleting files.
Also git does support the git protocol as a server if you really need it.
As in it's literally Github-in-a-box you can spin up a web-server with a command
(Imagine a git serve command that launches your GitHub instance)
Oh Yeah I like Pijul as well & I fully agree with your point of breaking the Git Hedgemony
BTW, tell me more about Darcs I want to know
EDIT: Boy GIT-Fanboys are clearly mad about other VCSs existing😅
1995 is new to you? SSH is useful for way more thing than version control, you should be using it when interacting with remote servers in one way or another.
You must be trolling. I can't believe you just said that SSH is NOT the battle tested one. I just looked it up, git released in 2005 and fossil in 2006, it's the newer tool! So, to your comment, literally no U.
I really don't need github in a box sir. I can use the command line just fine and if I need more my code editor interacts with git I show me a fine interface just fine. Spinning up a local web server to see how the vc is going seems like bloat. The Linux mantra is for each tool to be centralised around one task and fossil seems to be overreaching. It looks like they decided on the name appropriately, some old thing not relevant anymore the no one has heard about in a long time, a fossil.
Addendum: You know that most lemmy clients, even the webview, don't render the HTML tags, right?
I ‘forgot’ it on purpose.
The compatibility with Git means it is ultimately shackled to the design decisions fundamental to Git which require hacky workarounds. The maker of Pijul has pointed out some of the fundamental ways it can never handle patches is the manner of Darcs/Pijul, but I am not in the position to pull some of these quotes.
I would rather see revolution over evolution, & the weird ties to Google & hosting the project Microsoft GitHub rub me wrong.
That's cuz most devs are incompetent & unskilled code-monkeys,
First of all it's the UNIX philosophy not Linux & Who decided on what mantra to use ?
Oh right you apparently
Fossil can track what you did, Git cannot & as for your Editor what does it do with Git anyway ?
Forgejo is not Git though, it's more like an extension
The last time I checked Just because storage is cheap (it's not where I live) doesn't give you the excuse to create/use unomptimized garbage
All GIT does is versioning (which is Fine), Fossil comparitively has more features that GIT should have but doesn't (like a "Sync all" repos)
HTTPS has way too much bloat for it to be relevant where SSH is used. Its a protocol to send hypertext in a secure way, SSH is a secure shell. Saying that we should use https out of all tools as a SSH replacement is wild.
I call you a troll because is my kindest way to say that these opinions that you have are so out of touch with development since more than 30 years that your opinions are just wrong and you are saying them with such conviction that either you are intentionally misleading others for laughs (a troll) or it's a worse alternative. Yeah I was avoiding having to scrutinize your inability to recognize how the programming world has evolved in the last 30 years. Hell, mobile phones didn't really exist 30 years ago!
git is exactly as unfriendly as a distributed source control system that doesn’t shy away from power user commands needs to be
… sure it’s difficult to comprehend, but yknow what’s worse? getting into a bullshit situation and having broken garbage repos in every other “user friendly” system on the planet
Why should git have a mediocre ticketing system instead of getting out of the way of dedicated ticketing systems?
Small personal projects just need a text file with a Todo list, large organisations might need something super heavy weight like Jira. If your VCS has a ticketing system it's going to be dead weight for a large chunk of users, because there's no one-size fits all solution.
don't like this
Dessalines doesn't like this.
These people don't even bother checking out the site & some can't be bothered to scroll to the bottom of the site
& can't even read
They only recently were made aware of this tool & within a few seconds they literally go "Muh Bloated" etc......
It's no wonder
The binary executable for Fossil is a single file (repos are also single files, sqlite databases). That one executable does all the VCS functions but it also has a built-in web server that will host repos as a little customizable website. That's how you access the wiki, chat, forums, and ticketing system. You can also configure the repo, view timelines, view code, and all that stuff.
One can set up a proxy and publicly self-host the repo over the internet. That's what the official fossil site is, a hosted repo of it's own source code. I didn't feel like setting up a local web host, an ngnx reverse proxy, figuring out vpn for remote access, etc etc. So i just use synching and only run locally, because it's easier for me.
That's another nice thing about fossil, it's quite flexible and can grow with the needs of the project.
You don't mean "Why should I try out Fossil when I'm used to Git"

Yeah that pisses me off
(So yeah I'll "cool it" but it makes the GIT-community look like hostile hive)
Why don't you tell me some more about what you like about Fossil... I'm assuming you've used other version control systems - how would you compare the feeling of actually using it in a collaborative workflow? How did you even come across Fossil in the first place?
This is my first time hearing about it, so would love to hear more straight from an actual user.
It can be carried around in your pocket & has the features of Github but open source
Wiki, bug-tracker, ticketting, Forumn & even a chat for devs to use
You can self-host it & it even runs on the most crappy internet
Best part, it can track what you did in the past & stores in SQLite DB & can import & export to Git
Also I came across it via this blog
I like it even with the obvious flaws it has, plus it can be improved anyways
Cathedral-style coding isn’t very Open-Source
Cathedral vs bazaar is about development process, nothing to do with source code availability.
Git uses ~~mergetools~~, which do whatever you make them to. Patches can be created from snapshots, but snapshots are not guaranteed to be creatable from patches - you might not have original state.
EDIT: it uses merge drivers.
Specific merge tool can throw fits. Git doesn't care about specifics of how merge operation is done, it just tells to merge driver to merge three files(A, B and common ancestor) and stops if driver reports an error.
Also to correct myself: merge driver, not mergetool.
You'll actually have to talk to the devs to be included in the project
This VCS favours a more horizontal organization where the devs know each other (so A high-trust environment)
Please don't pretend as if OpenSource Devs don't constantly complain about pesky PRs😅

I soooo hope this does something funky with someone's Lemmy client
Looks like a lot of people are using it go to Chisel & see it for yourself & the whole point behind it is to use a different style of FOSS development.
Same applies to Darcs & Pijul
You should know better by now that this how Libre-Software works, you walk off the beaten path
I don't know what you're basing this "you should know better" on but I can safely say that anyone who is intimately familiar with any craft knows that when you choose an alternative ecosystem to live in from everyone else, there are tradeoffs and that you're swimming upstream.
You may not care that others coming onto a project are frustrated or confused and have to learn something new that may not even provide any discernible value to them, but those individuals care. That's clearly a concern for almost all project leaders. I mean, that is the only reason people used SVN for like 5-10 years after everyone knew it sucked compared to other things--
They really dreaded teaching dozens of devs a new thing, in addition to the work required to move things over. Hell, we switched from bit bucket to GitHub in my shop, the closest you can get to a drop in replacement job and that was painful because we had hundreds of repos to move.
Ps. If you had a listing of Git repos on a single page, it would need pagination to avoid crashing you browser/system. It would likely be millions of repos so I am not sure how that list you linked to is supposed to prove anything.
Again this applies to FOSS as a whole & nothing comes close to Oddball-ing as FOSS
Back then it was SVN, now it's Git, what makes you think Fossil or Pijul won't replace Git ?
Trends change & people usually take notice of lesser known things
Well there's another term called "Niche"
It's easier to just stay on windows & BTW windows is working on their own proprietary VCS so yeah good luck with everything & all
Dude what are you on?
what makes you think Fossil or Pijul won’t replace Git ?
Fossil is 18 years old and I've heard of it once now despite being a software dev that whole run lol
It’s easier to just stay on windows
A bizarre statement. I've only worked in two shops now where windows is used by devs. The reasoning practically every shop I've worked in uses mac: windows is a pain to develop on, and the IT department is afraid of supporting linux.
You HAVE to be trolling at this point.

Al-Tanf: The US stronghold in Syria and how it safeguards Israel
Beyond its military role, Al-Tanf's strategic location supports plans for a controlled buffer zone involving the nearby Rukban refugee camp. Military expert Major General Muhammad Abbas told The Cradle that this buffer would help US and Israeli objectives by creating a physical barrier between Syria and Iraq.
The base also facilitates Israeli operations in Syrian airspace, providing a logistical advantage for air force missions that circumvent Syrian air defenses. The collaboration between the US and the occupation state has been well documented, with Al-Tanf serving as a launching point for Israeli air strikes deep inside Syria – attacks that would be far riskier from other approaches due to Syrian anti-aircraft systems.
A 2021 report by the Washington Institute highlighted how the US occupying presence at Al-Tanf has directly benefited Israel, supporting its “battle between wars” – a strategic approach aimed at minimizing risk and exploiting weaknesses in Syrian defenses.
Crucially, it also facilitates Israeli air force attacks on targets deep inside Syria – attacks that could not have been carried out from above Lebanon or the occupied Golan Heights due to the distance involved. Since 2018, when Syrian air defenses shot down an Israeli F-16, Israeli forces have completely avoided entering Syrian airspace from the western side.
With Trump poised to return to the White House next month, questions have resurfaced about the future of American military involvement in Syria. The expectation is that despite any renewed rhetoric about reducing military involvement, Al-Tanf will remain a key asset in maintaining US influence in Syria and the region.
Al-Tanf: The US stronghold in Syria and how it safeguards Israel
The US coalition's mission against ISIS quickly transformed into a broader strategy to occupy parts of Syria, with the Al-Tanf base being crucial for securing influence and supporting Israeli interests amidst increasing local resistance.thecradle.co
