They were being dicks even in the 80s. I remember the Russian Woodpecker. My father was a amateur radio operator and there were whole frequency bands that were unusable because of that prat-prat-prat-prat.

This riddle has me at a loss and I will not search the internet for passionate athletic girls.

I was pretty surprised by the price Disco Elysium is going for.

And nothing of value was lost…

Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.

The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.

I get the sarcasm, but isn’t that exactly what E-Paper tablets are really good at?

Reading about Bluefin got me so interested that I just installed it on my laptop. After updating, it’s still at 39. How do I update it to 40?

EDIT: just figured it out:

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest

I’ve been using Fedora for many years (Nobara is just a fling) and updates were always remarkably stable. That being said, if you’ve played around with the configuration you might have issues, but if you stay with the standard install you shouldn’t expect problems.

Thanks, kind person!

So is AI the new Blockchain?

Switching over to a new operating system can be challenging, even frightening for some people. We should acknowledge that, welcome them and offer them help along the way. We all want FOSS to gain more traction, and gatekeeping isn’t the way. How about a new community for Linux news?

Yeah, enjoyed quite a few games this year, but nothing got into my head quite like DE. I hope so bad that we could expect some kind of follow-up to that masterpiece.

Thanks so much for this post! Ventoy is really the tool I never knew I really needed. Up to now, I have been reflashing and juggling sticks with various ISOs.

But even better, now I could finally update the BIOS on my Framework 13!

Gaslighting, toxicity, oh come on. I’m supposed to expect my kid to lie to me?

Just giving my kids into the embrace of peer pressure isn’t love, it’s evading confrontation. Give them a place of trust and understanding, with clear rules they can understand and follow. If my kids are getting their way bending and evading the rules we set, then it’s way too late.

We often say yes, but sometimes we have to say no, and our kids are fine with that.

I’m not so sure about that. My kids had other kids in their class playing Fortnite - in second grade!

And if my kid were 10 and all his friends were playing Diablo IV or GTA my answer would be a steadfast no.

Which CPU are you using? I’ve got the 11th gen i5 and battery life is just miserable, especially in standby.

Back in the 90s when I was in uni, it was the only way to have a unix-like development environment for C/C++. I also spent an inordinate amount of time testing linux on exotic hardware, like 386 laptops or older Macs. There weren’t many distros back then, but I tried them all: Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, m86kLinux and even (shudder) Slackware.

It was (and still is) an extremely fun way to tinker around. But I have to say, I’m not complaining that pretty much everything works out of the box nowadays!

Most people want to stick to Windows or MacOS, and that’s fine for them if they want to put up with it. Pushing Linux or OSS in general is counter productive IMO and just puts people on the defensive. I’d rather plant a seed here and there. If someone complains about Windows on a kid’s laptop, then hey, I got an old laptop for my daughter and put Fedora on it. It was easy to install and maintain, unobstrusive and she can get everything done for school she needs. Or talking about gaming - you know the Steam Deck? You can game without Windows - Linux is a painless, drop-in replacement!

It pains me that a lot of Linux users were pushy elitist neckbeards that spent so much energy defending their distro of choice and Linux in general. The community tends to make Linux appear like some difficult, arcane way of using a computer. “First you must pass the initiation rite and choose the correct distro!” Seriously, fuck that mindset. Just download whatever, install it and enjoy hassle-free computing!

Whoah, was he always that bloated?

I’d just recommend Fedora.

I use Fedora BTW.

Cleaning up old kernel versions and accidentally deleted them all. I would’ve thought the distro would prevent my stupidity, but hey, no kernel? You’ll manage!
