The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Nine trillion dollar investment in 'Super-AI' isn't that much, says SoftBank CEO.English212·8 months agoThose sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish181·8 months agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu turns 20: 'Oracular Oriole' shows this old bird's still got plenty of flightEnglish84·9 months agoBetter to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.

Jure Repinc@lemmy.mlOPto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•KDE Plasma 6.1 releasedEnglish6·1 year agoDepends on the specific distro and their upgrades policies.
Usually with normal distributions you get an update to a new major version (e.g. from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1, or some versions can be skipped) when a new version of the distribution gets released, and in the mean time you only get bug fix releases (e.g. 6.0.x to 6.0.y). Sometimes some distributions also make special backports available to bring new major versions to same distro version.
With rolling release distributions (e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed) you get new major releases in a few days after they are released.
So you need to check with Nobara how they handle this.
