All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol

That would be perfect

be sure to leave out sensitive things like passwords, names, etc.

can you type the command history into your terminal and share it with us because it’s important to know where the package comes from since it’s unlikely that any of proton’s products are already in your repository list.

is el camino already a thing?!

bluesky will eventually enshitify like reddit and twitter did and like all social media platforms with investors/financiers behind them always do. (reddit in particular promised not to enshitify at the beginning just like bluesky is promising right now).

be ready to find a new social platform like you had to do with reddit in another 4 to 9 years if you go with bluesky.

Ukraine US proxies

not for much longer if trump has anything to do with it.

to be fair: men with privilege & bodies like that get to treat the whole world as their playground. lol

i was going to extol the virtues of making your own brownies; but now i won’t because i know i’m not as cool as the guy in this video. lol

btw: where is this video from?

beverly hills is like mexico city: they’ve both got a lot of americans in them right now thanks to money, but that will change with time when their original inhabitants re-surge and reclaim both places for themselves again. lol

i hope that my 17 year old car holds out a little bit longer so that I can get a chinese EV at 1/2 the price of the telsa and with 95% of the capability; i will no longer buy american cars.

who? nato or the russians?

i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.

the proton package was already in your repository list?

are you able to share your yum repo configuration?

this and also this sounds like a project ripe for teaching yourself configuration management with something like ansible &/or terraform; which will get you paid since they’re in such high demand right now.

also: the little panics if it shows who tried to reach you and it’s a ceo; so you wake yourself up; get out of bed; log in to your computer and see that it’s just an “lol”. 🤌

is support a factor in your decision? if so i would go with opensuse since it has options to let get enterprise support should you end up needing it. (anecdotally: redhat & canonical’s support are better; ESPECIALLY landscape since you mentioned nvidia & proprietary codecs, but it is very pricey)

thank you for doing this; lemmy has been a godsend for me and it’s turned me into a donor and i’ll start contributing eventually.

Lawyers cost A LOT more than developers

I sometimes have macbooks from work; but I gave to my last one in favor of a Linux laptop from a Linux company and the sailing has been smoother than any of my macs in the past.

In the future I’m going to insist on Linux laptops or they can find someone else to do the job and Linux is the only reason I have the leverage over an employer to make such a requirement and the best part is that they bought the high end Linux laptop since it was so much cheaper than the macbooks.
