Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I did, and I found that the US does WORSE shit than Russia sometimes.

Russia ain’t good. Neither is the US. Get your head out of your ass.

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?

That or Ansible, if you will have a machine to deploy from

“Opting you in without asking” is the literal definition of spam.

No, no - legit! Do go on.

Computers and their interfaces? Way beyond the familiarity of older folks. TikTok? That’s just rapid-fire TV. That’s channel surfing where every flip is a reward. That’s gambling and standup combined.

It’s kind of insidious.

Food processors. Washing machines.

Exactly. These kind of things happen from time to time; hell even big corpo OSes mess up. They said they’d taken time to fix their process to prevent this problem happening again.

If it becomes a pattern I’d become concerned. So far, it was inconvenient.

So what you are saying is “mach was right”?

Compared to the rise of LLMs, containers are positively old hat now

You know, this statement makes the author sound like they think LLMs should replace containers, or that development of better containers is passé because of New and Shiny Things.

Please take care not to sound like a project manager when doing tech journalism.

There is an intersection on the south side of providence RI that is like this and every single day someone is way out there like they supposed to stop up with the other two lanes and they end up trying to back up into a line of stopped cars while a city bus honks at them
