brax,

How do you ensure you have the right dependencies if you do that?

brax,

They asked how to do it, I wanted to make sure that they knew that an application not existing in the repo doesn’t mean the application isn’t actually available.

brax,

sudo synaptic for a graphical package manager.

Otherwise, just use sudo apt-get if the program you want isn’t there, you may need to download the source and compile it yourself

brax,

But you can only press it five times before you have to buy a license to active it.

Also, if you want to deactivate it you’ll need to purchase a separate license.

If neither license is purchased, it presents a nag screen each time. 😂

We have so many unused potential binds already, though. Knowing the way tech goes these days, they’ll find a way to hard-code the key to one macro and that’s it lol

brax,

Pure hyperbole “late stage capitalism”: they’ll have it wired directly into the board. At best it will cover one key chord.

Even later stage, it’ll send some proprietary data that only windows 11 can interpret. Linux users will figure it out and make use of it, then will be promptly sued out of existence for copyright infringement or something lol.

Can we get this more dystopian? I’m out of ideas.

brax,

I don’t see an issue with a “super” key. But what would a copilot key bring that’s of any value? The super key already does everything you’d need.

brax,

Are those just made up numbers by some apple fanboy? How does an OS that’s in pretty much everything not have a larger stake?

brax,

I just use xTerm… What kinda cool shit is my basic ass missing out on? Legitimately curious lol

ajayiyer, to linux

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

Here’s hoping it floods the market with really cheap new and used “old” laptops

brax,

Ah, so “Company provided service, but then ditched it and now theatres are left to buy more expensive (and likely locked down) hardware in hopes the next company doesn’t pull the rug on them again”

brax,

Oh dear… So anyway lol

brax,

So Sony sold them projectors, locked down their media, and then forces theatres to buy new projectors every x number of years to keep up with DRM? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary waste…

brax,

“Sony is having trouble with their projectors”

Why not call it out for the bullshit that it is? “Sorry, but greedy bullshit capitalism has failed you as a customer. The lockouts they’ve put on their media to punish the honest users is doing its job once again to punish you. We sure hope this doesn’t lead you to find alternative ways to enjoy media without all of the DRM lockouts and garbage to punish you.”

brax,

The companies have almost successfully re-introduced the very problem that streaming originally solved.

It’s like this dipshits don’t want our money. I’ve always been firm that any content removed from streaming services is a message from that content company that they don’t want the money of the customers subscribed to said service and thus are okay with those people pirating it instead.

If they cared about the money, they’d had left the content there.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

brax,

Probably intentional so they can change the definition of “own”

brax,

All the shit I hate about windows packed into a Linux environment… I guess maybe it will help Windows users switch over?

brax,

Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.

brax,

If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.

It’s still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they’ll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.

brax,

From the screenshot, an ugly as fuck theme and a useless start menu.

I suppose it the menu would probably actually be functional in Linux and not just a way for them to spam Bing.

brax,

I hate all three. Why do we need to the same dependencies in a thousand different places? There’s gotta be something better between typical software repos and these stupid packed applications.

brax,

The Streisand effect of this all is great. I can’t be the only one that found out about this app (and the repos) because of the stupid law suit right? Amazing that they went after the container instead of the contents.

Can’t wait for Glad or Rubbermaid to be C&D’d when the cops find contraband in one of their bags/bins.

brax,

No no, throw drugs in their HQ then go after them. The precedent set is that the container is the problem, not the source of the illegal things itself.

brax,

Hilariously, I’d never heard of any of this stuff until this company decided to Streisand the fuck out of themselves.

And the best part is that they went after the container instead of the content, so all they did was make their problem even worse…

brax,

I’ve been using T-UI for like ever. Best version is the f-droid or GitHub version. The Google Play one is super nerfed. I doubt many people want a command-line launched, though
