“We will track your location just this once to mail programmer socks also.”
If I was getting programmer socks in exchange for my personal data I wouldn’t care so much about privacy.
You son of bitch I’m in!
I use Ubuntu btw.
Well I guess its better than windows.
Every time I have to, I have an inexplicable rage that appears deep within me that goes away as soon as I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
:/
:) It just works.
Depends on what you consider “working”, having my calculator and browser load for a minute or two before being able to do anyting and being unable to keep a specific software version as long as I need to doesn’t really work for me.
Never had those problems! I’ve locked certain software versions before. But, every user has different needs. :)
You can only lock them for a while last tine I checked, can’t you?
I’ve needed an old GIMP version before for a project I was working on. I wasn’t using Ubuntu at the time, but would’ve been pretty screwed if it just updated itself after X months.
Did they fix the Snap startup time, finally?
There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

I don’t often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.
I am obligated to inform you that I run linux.
Steam Deck Users be like:
“arch btw”
The first rule of Linux is you talk about Linux. The second rule of Linux is do talk about Linux.
1st rule of Kernel club is you talk about Linux. 2nd rule of kernel club is you never talk about gnu
Ouch, that hurds.
This doesn’t look like Arch.
Debian users will eventually tell everyone, but it’ll take 2 years before they see the question.
Gentoo users would too, but their social skills are still compiling
I use Arch BTW — just in case if Arch has that in their terms.
I don’t tell EVERYONE. I just tell my coworkers and friends…
You have family, neighbors, people in the parking lot that you are obligated to share your wisdom with
I use arch btw
You should switch to Bazzite btw
My first lemmy account was on an instance called iusearchlinux.fyi then it just disappeared suddenly and without explanation (admin probably burnt out). Anyway, it was nice to be able to tell people i use arch linux without actually having to tell them. I miss that instance
I tried hosting for myself and 6 months in it was hitting memory limits (prob because of friendica and sharkey on the same instance) Did not care enough about hosting my own content to deal with that.
The server it ran on crashed after an update, and the wiki doesn’t mention recovery of a lemmy instance.
I’m using CachyOS which is based on Arch btw.
I tried it but TF2 wouldn’t launch so I switched to Ubuntu.

If a user doesn’t learn how to manage nvidia proprietary drivers on arch, they probably are in a better home at ubuntu
Assuming that this was the problem…
I installed TF2 on a Mac with only integrated graphics in college and played a ten to twelve FPS slideshow for years.
It was Debian as well.
I’ve been playing it on and off since launch and never got less than 60fps 😅, but generally around 120fps as I had a 3d vision monitor(that didn’t work so well in source games though iirc).
didn’t get as far as seeing a framerate in arch, couldn’t work out why it wasn’t working and gave up 😅
haven’t checked my framerate in Ubuntu but felt like about 144 or something like that
arch btw
Q: A crossfit trainer, a vegetarian, and a Baptist Christian walk into a bar. How do we know?
A: They told every god damn person in the bar within the first 5 fucking minutes
What does a crossfitting, vegan, Arch user talk about first?
They probably have a Tshirt
Can also add airplane pilot to that
And Harvard grads
Oh there’s a long list
Vegetarians aren’t generally animal rights activists
TBF I flubbed the joke it was supposed to be “vegan”
(I’m vegetarian fwiw)
Oh so you’re just slathering all your vegetables in BEE VOMIT??
Yes
And we obey!
Install Linux, everybody!
You’ll get free cookies
Fake. Doesn’t say shit about stockings
That’s because these are GUI users, the real TOS is written in an arcane format only viewable by a cat or a bat.
somewhat oddly, in the real world, a clause like this would make the program no longer free and open source software
