I use DDG, BraveSearch, and many others. Never Google.

You’re a fuckin bot, there’s nothing you can say that’d prove otherwise. Infact it just makes your bot self even more of a bot.
“Research” has nothing to do with anything, you don’t even know why I’m calling you a bot in the first place, like a true NPC.

Nobody gives a shit about Taylor Swift, most of us make fun of her and her fans as is.
Nobody here could care less.

Meh, I feel that the only important choice is the type of distro; source, rolling, stable, immutable, reproducible, etc. as that’d impact difficulty to some degree.
Beyond that, it’s not a big deal. Newbies will just pick the DE their most comfortable with. The popular DEs don’t really have difficulties, just differences.

Phoronix’s comment section is usually full of trolls, shills, and people afflicted with brain rot. So I don’t even bother reading them anymore.

No. He wants to perform crimes because he fell into the wrong crowd and developed a massive ego.
His acute autism doesn’t predisposed him towards criminal actions.

While it has a bunch of patches that can boost gaming performance and such it’s stability takes a hit in some areas. It’s also not quite as user friendly as other options. It can be better for those looking for a fedora base if that’s what they prefer, tho.
It’s also extremely opinionated & while it’s a great fit for those who have a matching use case, for general uses it’s a bit too opinionated.
It’s neither the worst, nor the best. It just highly depends on use case.

In what way? Like a home partition?
Home should just be a folder you can copy over in most cases.
If it’s a separate partition, most distros can just install to the other partitions without overwriting the home partition.

Xenia wouldn't suggest that :c (lemmy.world)

please don’t harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying “Xenia suggests you get Firefox”, wait what?? She wouldn’t suggest that first of all, second, this means that the website knows if you are using Google or...

It’s easy to do when your browser is based on GTK. In reality they do the bare minimum.

Wayland imposes new rules, and one of those rules being that programs can’t arbitrarily access keystrokes and mouse input. This is done to protect against keyloggers as they are used by malicious actors to gain a bevy of information like passwords, banking information, personal information, etc.
I’m unsure if it’s Firefox, the RMM or both, but the necessary permissions aren’t granted and that’s why it’s not working.

It depends on your card & if you’re using Nouveau or the proprietary driver. NVIDIA has always been far behind in terms of Wayland compatibility when compared to AMD or Intel. Recently they seem to be putting in a lot more effort and now after Fedora officially announced that they will be dropping X11 by default in the KDE Plasma 6 Fedora Spin 18 months from now, they’re likely going to be trying much harder as Fedora sets the precedent. Even if it works on your hardware rn, that doesn’t mean it’s yet feature complete or bug-less.

It’s exactly what it means.

“Although we’ll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time”

We can all read it right there plan as day.
If they weren’t planning to/considering it, then why specify “at this time”?
I’m only a native English speaker, so guess I could be interpreting it wrong.
Do tell oh wise one, what alternative meaning could it possibly have?

@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

So they are considering it.
Thanks for confirming my point.
If they weren’t, they wouldn’t have specified, they’d just say “we will not be accepting Pull Requests”.

You should try being a native English reader.

First off, not what I said.
Second off, I never called them dumb. I actually happen to have a good relationship with them, so I take offense to what you’re implying. I mearly stated that I don’t like GitHub and gave some legitimate reasons. Which btw : 100000072310000007241000000728Maybe the one who should learn humility is you.

Nobody here needs “a long history of submitting patches to Firefox” to have an opinion on the tools used to manage the project. I assume that most here sharing their opinion don’t and yet you need not scroll far. You merely need some knowledge and experience with the tools, be it in personal, corporate, FOSS, etc. projects. Besides I don’t spend my free time helping FOSS projects just to use it to be like “my opinion better” that’s literally just the “appeal to authority fallacy”. But if you must know, I have helped here and there throughout the years under various different aliases/accounts. (Why “various aliases”? because I enjoy helping not some meaningless credit, it’s just how I am.)

“at this time”

Meaning they’re planning/considering to in the future.

I’m not a fan of all the blank space in their design language, it doesn’t look bad or anything but I don’t have a touch screen and having to move the mouse around so much for long periods of time physically hurts, especially on laptops.
I wish it was more… desktop friendly… If they took more advantage of the dynamic layout capabilities of GTK4 to have a better desktop layout based on their already existing design language while still having this mobile esk layout for other devices, we’d be golden.
If they don’t want to do that, they should at least increase the default mouse speed so it feels better out of the box.

Run command as not-root

Hi everyone

At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.

Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

You can run commands as the new user from the root account.
su -c ‘command’ username
Enter the password for the new user when prompted.
This way at least the main account is still root and the command is being run without root privileges on the new users account.
