chitak166, to linux in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS To Get 12 Years of Updates

“Oh no, we’re getting paid to do this thing instead of some other thing.”

Part of having a job is working on things that need to be worked on, not because they’re fun.

I highly recommend avoiding this rhetoric because you will end up paying more for inferior hardware.

You are not actually “doing yourself a favor.”

I highly recommend checking out old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ daily until you find something that meets your needs and budget.

chitak166, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

Unfortunately, the “linux-first” vendors do not offer better deals than their competition.

chitak166, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Strawberry.

Our desktops are almost identical, lol.

chitak166, (edited ) to linux in Experience with KDE on Fedora?

I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

chitak166, to linux in What is the point of dbus?

No, you see, additional layers of abstraction are always a good thing. Haven’t you been paying attention to the latest software memes? /s

chitak166, to linux in What is the point of dbus?

I’m a firm believer that the vast majority of things we needed for software were implemented by the 2000s.

Usually, people who don’t understand what they’re doing will overcomplicate things to cover-up their misunderstandings. I think choosing a technology before you have a use-case is one of these examples.

chitak166, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

That’s a pretty shitty rule, lol.

We should be educating people on how to get stuff for free whenever possible.

chitak166, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

Soulseek with Nicotine+.

There’s a lossless filter.

chitak166, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

They’ve been working on the same software for 20+ years?

Woah.

chitak166, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

Eh, I always discredit people when they say X is bad.

It’s been around for over 20 years. That kind of longevity should be praised.

chitak166, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

The only real downside I see is that it complicates waterproofing.

It’s also more movable parts.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never complained about regular office keyboards.

The worst keyboard I had was on an Eluktronics laptop because the keys were so hard to press down.

chitak166, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Physical buttons in most things are going away whenever companies see they can do it.

It’s weird looking at appliances from decades ago, mostly because it’s clear we are stuck with lower quality where people are willing to concede.
