FWIW, it’s working with FF 123 on Kubuntu as well.

It’s maddening. The power of propaganda is truly impressive.

And then a DBA comes in

I’m convinced that’s a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I’ve never encountered one.

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

After running low on storage space on Windows 10 I have considered upgrading to a larger drive, 2-4 TiB. With my switch to Linux I’d like to know if there is an easy way to take all my files from my previous drive into the new one with all the correct paths configured, without reinstalling Linux?

I can see this meaning a number of different things:

1. you want to move your home directory to a separate partition: You can just create a new partition and move your stuff there. People have suggested rsync, and that’s fine. Personally, I’d use mc (midnight commander) for that because it’s easier.

2. you want to know how to transfer your future home partition to a future bigger drive: You could do as above, or you could use clonezilla for that.

3. you want to transfer files from your old Windows setup to your new Linux system: You can just mount an NTFS partition and do as described under point 1. I’d be wary to write to an NTFS partition, but reading from it works just fine.

A reboot will make whatever processes that are still using those deleted files let go of them. Maybe that solves your problem. If not, ncdu will help you find large files and directories.

Eventually people will have to get new hardware. That’s the moment to avoid nVidia, that’s how simple this can be.

Also, the problem is nVidia giving shitty Wayland support, not Wayland providing no nVidia support. It’s nVidia who has to write the drivers since they themselves opted to keep their implementation details a secret. There’s nothing the Wayland people can do except plea, beg and shame. If nVidia then decide not to care, then I say fuck them.

Not GP, but: Realplayer compressed everything to hell, the quality was absolutely atrocious. I believe it was buggy as well.

Quicktime was a behemoth that took ages to launch. To speed things up, it liked to auto-load and be active in the system tray, slowing system start down even further and taking up precious ram on the off chance that you might want to watch a quicktime video. It also liked to register itself as the video player of choice for other formats, because why would you use a decent player if you can use a shitty one that was made by Apple? Fuck quicktime.

They’re five months early for April fools.

That’s correct. It’s not just limited to computers or only two devices though.

And if you plan on trying different distributions, use Ventoy. It will create a bootable USB memory stick that you can copy your various ISO files to. When booting from it, you can then select which ISO to boot. Saves you from overwriting the same memory stick time and time again. Or having multiple memory sticks, one for each ISO.

Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That’s much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.

Most don’t even know what an IR is.

I’m glad I’m not a terminal emulator or I’d feel personally attacked.

On the flip side, it makes some people extremely wealthy. See, there’s an upside to everything!

That’s all too abstract and too emphatic. They have the power and the money and so far any problem they’ve had, they’ve been able to solve by using either their power or their money. Clearly, they believe that will be the case in the future as well. And so they cling to their sources of wealth and power because they think those will keep them safe.

That indeed doesn’t bode well for our future, whether it’s about the climate, AI, nuclear power or anything else.

That link is borked. Use this: https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/ruben-schilt-lekte-geheime-raadsdocumenten-over-chemours-ik-weet-dat-ik-een-jaar-cel-kan-krijgen-maar-mijn-geweten-is-belangrijker~b2c5a373/

I don’t want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

That doesn’t mean anyone actually knows the CIA said that.

For context, the total Dutch government budget for 2023 is 395 billion. So this represents 9.5 per cent of government spending.
