Does this happen when browsing local files or just network shares (SMB or Vs ssh) ?

I’ve not found a viable replacement for mxroute (I know us based). All the other email services seem to be priced by the number of accounts. I have a bunch of accounts I need to keep separate, some personal and some business. Some accounts have a few aliases as well. But Aliases just don’t cut it on their own.

I’ve been running EOS for a couple of years now and love it. Everything works, however my PS5 controller always struggles on Bluetooth unless I downgrade to bluez 5.68. They never have fixed it.

Up doot for Endeavour OS. The distro that finally let me leave windows.

If you want to prevent piracy don’t make games ridiculously expensive, or block modding, or force users to be online when they shouldn’t need to be.

Its the same problem TV streaming service are having. Their model worked when they priced it well and you didn’t have to get 5 different services. Now that’s happened privacy is well on the rise again.

It is nuts to think that copy protection for single player games makes financial sense when all it does is piss people off and encourage more piracy.

To repeat myself . . . Anti piracy is pointless for single player games. Without the need for anything online game cracks don’t have to work hard to bypass such copy protection. Also it is anti social, often requiring to be online just to play a purely offline game.

Do you WANT this stuff?

Really? It constrains or prevents modding, which is a core part of PC gaming.

Copy protection for single player games is essentially pointless. Even GTA V let’s you do what you want in single player mode because it is offline.

The only reason they might want anti tamper is to support in game purchases, which is equally senseless for single player games.

According to their own site it is both apparently. Either way it is used for both purposes, and for single player that makes no sense.

It may have other nefarious uses but it is primarily anti-cheat software.

Putting anti cheats in single player games should be illegal.

I also like pacseek as it provides a simple tui for package search and getting info about packages.

Electron is a relatively recent thing. What did Devs do in the past?

Yeah I’m not reading a PM article. Gonna wait for someone to post the bottom line.

Hold up. Is this the Electron that is effectively just google chrome running web apps ? I thought this was undesirable, it being bloated and slow? I’ve noticed a few server apps starting to use Electron, which seems like a bad idea. What have I missed, and why is it so important?

So they added a date of birth field. Not technically doing anything wrong but a concerning direction morally. If it wasn’t for the fash / authoritarian bullshit in the world that field wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the question is how should the Linux community respond. Rather than grabbing pitch forks we should do what the Linux community does best. Support the alternatives, be it a fork or a replacement stack.

I’m watching for what lands and becomes popular. It seems inevitable that Devs in countries that aren’t forcing ID checks will build what we need. I hope to see either a fork of systemd free from redhat influence (always suspicious of large corps), or a true set of alternatives that can realistically replace the systemd stack.

The community will drive the change. Put down your pitch forks, pick up your keyboard yourself, or just support the good Devs instead.

I expect someone will just make a systemd patcher package that removes the field and provides clean error handling for anything that tries to use it.

I doubt it will over take Microslop offerings anytime soon, but I also think the rise of the Linux desktop has only just started. I think it will come from non-US countries where government departments make the switch. People start getting comfortable using it at work, which helps build confidence in the alternatives to Microslop shit. Also Valve still pushing hard in the gaming space. I think 10% to 15% market share in 5 years is possible. I doubt it’ll go beyond 20% without some fundamental changes, like laws forcing hardware OEMs to support Linux equally as windows and Mac, and better DRM support.

This is the only correct answer.

Full Software support and functionality from device vendors.

It is uncool to laugh at the death of anyone. But this guy has a great deadpan sense of humour. 10/10 would attend his live standup set.

So, to deploy a new server they’ll want the tech to do a face ID check first? Maybe it needs the CEO’s face as they are technically the owner.
