pacman in my opinion is the easiest package manager ive used but even so if it is that difficult then they can use a GUI package manager that would come pre installed on most GUI arch based distros

Recognizing that’s your opinion, in my opinion it’s the hardest I’ve used. The commands are all flags, so you have to remember letters instead of “install” or “upgrade” if you want to use any packages outside of the like 4 in the official repos, you have to enable AUR, which is effectively just installing from source from some random person’s GitHub repo, in which any number of things can go wrong. I mean, there’s a reason there exist a bunch of different wrappers for pacman.

I just blame alsamixer for that. There was a solid 6 months that I had to completely uninstall and then reinstall alsamixer on my Lenovo every reboot so I could have sound

You might have some GUI nonsense happen, but for the most part you’ll be okay. I have exclusively used i3 for my Linux stuff over the past few years and have only run into a few problems with misc apps

Then you deal with the fact that zoom is a dumpster fire for those clients

Zoom is an absolute dumpster fire of an application, but that’s your solution. Don’t use zoom.

Seriously though, Google meet, Microsoft teams, discord, all work great. Zoom just barely functions and I don’t get why people want to use it.

No love for folder.bak?

I don’t support a ban like this, but I also don’t find the judges reasoning convincing

“Additionally, there are many ways in which a foreign adversary, like China, could gather data from Montanans,” including purchasing it from data brokers, open-source intelligence gathering, and hacking, Molloy pointed out. “Thus, it is not clear how SB 419 will alleviate the potential harm of protecting Montanans from China’s purported evils.”

Because the law in question is for consumer protection, for the sake of the argument we have to assume for the sake of the lawsuit, that tiktok is as bad as they say.

There’s a fundamental difference between the Chinese government spending huge amounts of money to try to hack into both Apple and Google (who both have impressive security measures) to get your citizens data and those citizens paying the Chinese government to unknowingly collect that data.

Like, I think the judge ended up at the right answer, but got there in an irresponsible manner.

and even taking 8.7k as a generous estimate, it doesn’t look good.

Big facts. Worker wages need to be adjusted for the last ${years since Reagan took office and initially screwed everything up for the common American} and then we should be okay.

I’m gonna go ahead and tell you, that’s a bit high for after tax.

I make 172/year and after tax and benefits and what not in South Carolina, I’m at 8.6 a month, which is less than the 150 estimate. So in an average tax state and making 20k less? Might be more like 7.5-8.

Edit: granted of course, 401k contribution can change things a bunch

1. They weren’t “chest bumping”

2. Closing a gap does not constitute battery

3. Yes, once you put hands on me, I can punch you in the face. That’s the law. Under the law, and for good reason, her reaction is self defense.

4. One person’s punch is not necessarily equivalent to another’s, as we saw in this incident. I mean, turns out she needed to have used a more serious form of self defense here. So it’s irrelevant whether it was a shove, a punch, a kick or whatever. He put hands on her first and she got the broken nose.

Behind the curve. This was also what I immediately thought of

Well lead did a pretty big number on a certain generation that has been in power for quite some time, and you actually can’t fix that.

Not bin laden, no. Definitely not.

May I introduce you to Nerd fonts you can have your inconsolata and your symbols

Inconsolata is my ride or die font for programming.

IMO, the best distro is going to be whatever you’re most comfortable with (given it’s still getting updates blah blah blah). Some might be easier in the get go but if they do wonky things (compared to what you’re used to) an update might really screw you up and leave you in a situation where you’re doing a lot of research.

For the most part, you can make any distro do whatever you want, but if you understand one much better than the rest, use that.

IBM doesn’t do consumer stuff anymore they sold the entire side of that business to Lenovo.

HP Business stuff is pretty good but it’s gonna run you a pretty penny.

Honestly people over do it with the Nvidia complaints.

Nvidia provides a rock solid driver for Linux. If you are a general consumer it works really really well and it’s easy to install.

Here’s the actual historical issue people have with Nvidia on Linux: it’s a closed source binary which is contradictory to the ethos of Linux.

But he’s the rub, Nvidia open sourced some shit this year, not all of it, but they’re becoming more open about the GPU drivers. But shitting on Nvidia is a hard habit to break lol
