I’m going to be honest. I’d be really annoyed if somebody kept asking me for a ride because they don’t want to be a driver. I also hate driving but it’s necessary where I live for most cases.

Hopefully you’re taking the inconvenience to others into account when asking for a ride to places.

Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.

By this description, year zero is the time between the 0 and the 1 for the same reason the time between 10 and 11 is the year 10.

It’s not attitude they are giving you. It’s strong recommendation. It’s the strong recommendation of the entire Linux community.

Sudo is different than run as admin and is not intended to be used to do things the way Windows does them.

That indicates that you might buy it if it’s good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.

If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?

I don’t know that I agree with this for anything but GPUs. There are plenty of distros that are stable and don’t require constant fiddling.

Yes, but other cars aren’t operating inside enclosed tunnels at all times.

I think we just found out why they needed to charge for the API all of the sudden.

My money is on its not pushing Pro hard enough.

Something I’m not seeing here is many people in the cyber and info security spaces will have a homelab capable of complex configurations in order to mimic enterprise environments for their research.

This could be as simple as a single VM or as complex as multiple segregated networks to try to traverse.

Unless your government id has a PO box on it you’re likely not going to get the results you’re looking for. As somebody else mentioned, that info is public record.

They are absolutely mining data.

I will say that Apple is 100 percent collecting your data. Health, financial, biometric, anything you put in an Apple Device is subject. Like most large companies, the are probably also purchasing profile data from Acxiom and Experian.

I don’t know if they are doing it with this service but Apple is definitely not respecting your privacy. If you are concerned about privacy, you’re better off trying to use more specialized tools for a job than any singular ecosystem. Apple wants everybody to be in their single ecosystem to better build profiles in their systems.

Back in my day we just looked at photoshopped pictures of celebrities like respectable men!

I just now discovered why people are hating on Ubuntu pro by receiving a note that Ubuntu will not provide security updates for some apps it came with unless you activate Pro.

I think I’m done with Ubuntu on any personal machines.

I believe the answer is no. I think it installs over Wi-Fi, fine, so long as the adapter isn’t a weird of brand or something.

I have one for work and I’ll say it’s high, sometimes. Can sounds like a jet engine.

My Darter does not have that issue, though.

One of the biggest things I’d point out for security is that unless effort is made to ensure people are upgrading, more systems on Linux is going to mean more versions of the kernel being on more machines.

It will result in a lot more machines running versions that have known exploits open against them so malware will become easier to propagate on Linux in general.

I just took it favoring a daily driver for gaming and every distro it gave had either didn’t work, isn’t optimized for, or requires additional config for gaming.
