No one claimed they’re making pi chips in their garage, it’s a modest start towards open-source hardware. One guy in a garage doing what thousands of skilled engineers and scientists devoted careers to make in expensive labs.

Yeah I didn’t offer much input on personal devices because I did use Ubuntu for awhile as a personal environment and it’s fine, but could use work. I think personally I like Debian better, but if I want a clean GNOME experience Fedora is probably the move.

My company uses Teams and Outlook, both of which have to be PWA on Linux and they’re terrible in that form. Also, being able to run Logic and Final Cut will be an added bonus. The main reason for the switch is reliability, macOS isn’t an amazing OS for tweaking and personalizing down to the kernel level, but it is great for having an environment to just get stuff done. I’ve worked with numerous macOS devices in the past and have never felt like they are unreliable.

I just bought a MacBook because I’ve been trying to do Linux for work but there are some things that just don’t work and I’m not interested in Windows. I’m turning into an Apple bro, someone help me.

Cummins trying to circumvent emissions standards is hilarious, it’s like how didn’t anyone expect this?

It could be completely anecdotal but something about everyone getting sick with different variants of coronavirus and no real end in sight to a novel disease, it’s like a collective response that many people are dealing with anxiety and panic. A lot of stuff happened prior to 2020 to bring about this atmosphere, but I’m sure the global pandemic didn’t make things better.

You’re trying to run a .bat file on Linux that’s written specifically for Windows installs. Usually .bat is run on Windows, .sh on Linux. If you have a .sh file, use that instead. If there is no .sh equivalent you may be able to tweak the .bat to run on Linux, but I don’t know if that’s a reasonable path forward or not depending on how much Windows logic is in that file.

You trust the government enough to properly provide for those most in need, but the government has pushed the work onto the very charities that you are arguing against. The government leaks tens of billions annually on preserving the needs of the richest members of our society, a quarter of which could have made a massive impact on world hunger.

I don’t think the government or private organizations generally have anyone’s best interest in mind when they do what they do, besides those who have the most influence.

The MP3 and digital license sales number seems late in the game? I would expect them to start selling more in 2000 than 2005, but maybe MP3 players didn’t really pick up until later in the 00s

It’s definitely an Appalachian thing, even earlier than Turtle Man you could hear people hauling ass in their dilapidated overgrown F350s and shouting “yeeyee” from the driver’s seat.

As for a definition, it’s like the mountain version of “yeehaw” or “let’s get this bread”

I had to do some funky messing with networkd and the ntp sync stuff, seems like that’s the barrier to entry for vanilla arch these days

The law states “individual” not sure if this applies to the government disseminating personally identifying information to other governments.
