Jitsi was a pain for me to get working the way I needed it, but I have to say I'm a fan so far. I haven't used it too much yet (mainly just testing with myself from various networks/devices), but from what I can tell it'll work for my use (replacing Google Meet for my family chat uses).

Excellent point! Yet another reason why Linux isos should always be torrented!

[-] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 17 points 1 week ago

Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don't realize why we torrent Linux iso's.

I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it's nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.

Is it invisible to accessibility options as well? Like if I need a computer to tell me what the assignment is, will it tell me to do the thing that will make you think I cheated?

I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn't do shit (at least in my work environment).

I hated yaml with every fiber of my being when first had to use it, but I really wanted to use HomeAssistant and see what I could do with it. I hated it a bit less when I started using docker compose. I started loving it when I started using it as a way to explain json to non-programming IT types, trying to explain it without braces and brackets seems to get across easier. I guess its more human readable, but as a result formatting has to be spot on (those indents and spaces replace the need for brackets and braces).

One useful trick if you truly hate it but need it, write it in json, then just use a converter to change that into yaml.

It feels even dirtier because OP bought a physical copy, that feels so much more like Adobe broke it at night and stole it.

When my paid service started giving me ads I stopped watching it. I've been paying them since before streaming and in the past couple years stopped paying because T-Mobile started paying. When T-Mobile quits paying we'll close the account.

A lot of companies are implementing better VPN tech (like SD-WAN, Nebula by Slack, etc), or at the least Microsoft Intune to ensure your corporate laptop is reachable anytime it's connected to the internet.

Hell yeah LMDE

Or, you set your steam account up as a company. Still a "person" for legal purposes, but can be handed down.

Totally just joking, but maybe..

Don't give up too easily friend. I've been slowly moving some of my hone systems away from Window's, and much like you, I've spent close to 20 years as a Windows admin. I have the advantage of using Linux on my always ancient laptops over the years and it is my personal opinion that Debian is the way to go.

Give LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) a go, it is very familiar to navigate coming from Windows and isn't going to have constant updates breaking stuff (looking at you Arch).

First thing after installing run apt-get update, then add the Nvidia drivers (add the source to your sources and install, if you need help, post back and we've got you!) and reboot.
