No, silverblue does all the work before you restart the computer, and the actual work doesn’t involve replacing the OS itself but basically downloading some files and just checking a different git branch when booting.

This is a byproduct of one of the largest and more ignored differences between windows and linux. The fact that Linux let’s you modify files while they are open whereas windows doesn’t.

This means that you can update a linux system by just replacing the files with the new ones while it runs. On the other side, Windows can’t modify its own files while it runs, so instead it has a second entire OS to update itself, and requires a reboot to unload all the files and boot from the updater without locking windows files.

I downvoted because I’m a hater /s

Local cat goes :3

With python and virtualenv you can also keep the entire source of your libraries in your project.

I cant believe it, someone who actually knows what they are speaking about?? in my imitation Reddit forum???

Let’s not forget that Britain also ensured the rights of Palestinians in that same declaration, I would like to see them act on that one.

One of the bold claims of proton is that all your data is encrypted and they can’t see it (not 100% sure how they do it, probably your key is encrypted with your password as a symmetric key? Then when you log in, the client unlocks your private key and then that key unlocks the emails and stuff).

Now, it also turns out that they write the software that uses your key to decrypt the emails. It would be trivial for them to just send the keys back to themselves and decrypt all your stuff.

I don’t think this is a huge point against proton, as AFAIK no one else even offers encrypted email. But nonetheless I would like to see an api and some third party clients.

While I think firewalls are overrated, they are also dead easy to set up, and the best kind of defense is defense in depth.

It works, nowhere near as good as AMD but it works.

You can get used to any scale

If farenheit represents how humans feel then 50 is the most comfortable temperature right?

I love Fedora! but sadly I have been burned twice by Red Hat already. I refuse to be burned a third time so I’m moving my servers over to Debian. I like to use the same ecosystem on all my computers, so I also moved my desktop and laptop over to Debian.

I tried OpenSUSE a few times, but I disliked YaST, disliked the unclear future of Leap and disliked the unclear future of ALP. I thought I would love Aeon (I used Silverblue when I used Fedora) but I didn’t like being unable to compare my system against a “base” one. So for the time, at least until the situation over SUSE clears up, I’m going to stick with Debian.

Anyways, once GNOME 45 hits Debian Testing I think I’m going to move over to that, I would prefer to use Stable (which I use on my laptop and job) but I really want a recent GNOME for my Nvidia GPU. I have a bunch of BTRFS snapshots ready to go back to stable at any moment if anything happens, so I’m not too worried.

Is that on X11 or Wayland?

When my main PC had Nvidia I was desperate to move from Xorg to Wayland because Xorg was laggy like that video you showed while Wayland behaved perfectly.

I think that only happens on Xorg if you have different monitors though.

UBI is a way to make capitalism more fair. One important fact about capitalism that seemingly everyone forgot is that competition is a requirement for it to work.

If there is fierce competition in all markets, even if everyone is getting UBI, price hikes are impossible.

I went for an AMD APU on my laptop explicitly because I wanted to avoid hybrid graphics. While I would like a faster igp, for battery life and ease of use, APUs are fantastic.

I tried a bunch of terminals on my laptop and ended up deciding that I don’t care and just like the GNOME terminal.

I’m going to try Console on my desktop then!

First, I have a multi monitor setup, with different resolutions, refresh rates and scalings, so X11 is basically unusable (tears like crazy and wrong sizes everywhere). On Wayland, Wayland programs work perfectly, always looking crisp and the correct size.

Anyways, nearly everything I do is in a browser or a terminal, both work perfectly on Wayland. The other program I use lots is VSCode, which in the past was its own source of problems for Wayland/Nvidia, but now it surprisingly works fine (as long as I launch it with --ozone-platform-hint=auto so its not blurry).

I do use lots of these fancy electron apps, things Slack, Discord and Teams, but I sandboxed all of them into my browser. Teams barely works, but it barely works anywhere anyways so I’m not missing out on much.

I also use lots of native GTK apps, they all support Wayland perfectly, I really like the Celluloid video player for example.

The only programs I commonly use that are X11 only are Spotify, which I don’t really care if its blurry (I tried sandboxing it too into the browser, but I like to keep all my music downloaded) and Datagrip, which I’m anxiously awaiting for Wayland support.

It’s vulnerabilities month or what?

I’m personally waiting for utf-64 and for unicode to go back to fixed encoding and forgetting about merging code points into complex characters. Just keep a zeptillion code points for absolutely everything.

As opposed to dying in a valley forever, totally painless.

I’m curious about dying on a hill temporarily though.
