Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?

Touchscreens can stay, but only for non-essential tasks like changing settings or entering addresses. Climate, media, and all other controls you usually use while driving should be tactile by mandate.

I would love to give Firefox money, as long as they slash their CEO’s ridiculous salary

I applaud your bravery with Arch. Have some fun with it and don’t worry if you break stuff. Keep your files backed up and you’re golden! Even if you switch to a different distro later on, a lot of what you learn will translate 1:1.

I tries it a couple months ago and it was horrible, didn’t even support flexbox back then and it kept crashing. The latest nightly builds are almost usable for basic web browsing though, it’s amazing how fast servo improves

For Windows and Mac, yes. V1 was very polished when I used it back in the day, I assume V2 is the same. For Linux, fuck no. They don’t care one bit about that OS.

I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.

Linux has huge problems on my laptop, cause HP in their infinite wisdom decided to disable S3 sleep at firmware level. I still find myself dreading the thought of reinstalling windows though. I’d rather manually shut off my laptop every time I stop using it than go back to that awful proprietary OS.

I spent hours the other day uninstalling adware from my laptop after reinstalling windows on it. It’s ridiculous.

Okay that is the first argument for it I’ve read that actually makes sense

If we need warning lights for self driving cars, the technology is not ready.

Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It’s starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

Maybe changing your user agent just let’s you reroll whether you are in the group of users that are used for testing the increased loading time

Five seconds of loading is an upgrade over five consecutive ads

Yes. It is. And consumers can’t do a thing about it.

How do you define success? No more Gaza?

So we’re gonna spend a whole bunch of energy to capture carbon, then use even more to turn it into fuel, and then just burn it again? Yea sorry, I am not convinced.

Edit: Unless if course they propose it for grid balancing, like we talk about doing with hydrogen. In that case, I wanna know exact energy efficiency numbers and equipment cost.

7z files can be browsed without decompressing the contents, and tar.xyz archives preserve file system attributes like ownership. They have totally different use cases.

If I want to back up a directory on my drive, I would use tar.xz. But if I want to send some documents to other people, I would use 7z.

Translation: Microsoft loves using code that other people wrote for free
