as a non-american, no one really wants to go there at the moment anyway

The fact that Waterfox is owned by Advertising Company System1, doesn’t bother you?

in the case of Android, it comes down to the proprietary driver modules that are compiled for certain kernel versions. As newer versions of android are released with newer kernels, the closed source modules fall out of step. If the drivers for these components were open source anyone could recompile them for any Linux kernel. It’s usually up to the device manufacturer working with the likes of the chip makers to release newer module versions for their hardware. OEMs dont want to support their hardware beyond few years, so you’ll hopefully buy a new phone.

The postmarketOS community (and some of the android community) works pretty hard trying to bring mainline kernel support to devices, which enables them to run generic Linux kernels, or conceivably newer versions of android than the OEM has released. But this involves reverse engineering support for this hardware.

the whole spec list and image was probably an ai prompt output

Last I checked it didnt play very nicely in real hardware, and required running it in a VM

what a bizare take to suggest hoping for ReactOS to mature before using Linux as daily driver. A lot of the current reactOS app compatibility depends on WINE implementation anyway.

My kids ask when I’m adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time

they should also blank the screen if the user has recall enabled

Australia has a small amount of this type of slang, but its usually more offensive than the mother british type

For the non-Australians, Yank rhymes with Septic Tank, thus seppo

Organise Settings better, put common features front and centre?

Why is finding my IP address so hard on a Windows machine? Its either open settings app and click down 3 layers deep or open a pwsh prompt and either ipconfig or Get-NetIPAddress.

Linux click network applet in most desktop environments. Even MacOS option + click network icon

If you run it in a rootless container, expose it through a reverse proxy and keep it updated there’s very little risk

We got married in 2011, moderate sized wedding and reception. What a waste of money. If I’d do it again I’d get married at a registry and then take the family out for dinner. Result would be the same and I’d probably be $20k AUD richer. 🤷

Being married is fine and pretty chill. Weddings are stupid

Windows 11 has better image quality? I’m sorry what?

You opened it by moving the mouse pointer to the upper right or lower left corner.

in the corner and then gesturing the mouse up or down. The fact they put this abomination onto the server version, trying to do that at in an RDP or VNC window was the worst. We moved as much as we reasonably could off Windows Server at the time, and rushed standardising on server 2012 for the stuff we couldnt when it came out just because of how toxic interacting with Server 2008 was. I mean a Win for EoL software, but still

yes - ctrl + shift ) splits the kde konsole

does anyone buy a product for AI or Assistant features?

Haha unfortunately on the red front I can see red, but I miss many of the shades. It’s not so much can’t see red but all reds look the same, reddy browns just look brown, pinky reds just look pink, purples are harder to distinguish from blue.

No getting out of red lights, unfortunately

Here’s me with my red-green deficiency already jealous of standard colour vision

so they put wine/proton in a container runtime of some sort, coupled with box86?
