No, you’re the one lying, and I provided evidence.

ROFLCOPTER

Cringe.

You’re the one that’s lying.

I literally proved you a liar for both of your points lmao

That is changing the default device. When you set one that’s what it sticks to. Same goes for the power profile.

Why are you lying?

Yes it is. You seem reluctant to tell anybody which distro you’re using (even downvoting the person who asked), probably because you know they’d point out that it is in fact there.

Below I’m showing you how it is on my laptop running GNOME, the most used desktop environment. It’s similarly easy in KDE Plasma and Cinnamon. Even the more niche DEs like Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, and LXQT have had that functionality for many years.

I really don’t know why you’re lying about this. The terminal is not something you’d ever need to open for this.

Why the hell would you need to open the terminal for any of that? It’s in your settings

China isn’t a communist country and hasn’t been for a long time. Theyre about as communist as the Democratic People’s Republic of [North] Korea is democratic.

Or how the Gates foundation fought for the Oxford COVID vaccine NOT to be open sourced, and instead sold for profit, so that it wouldn’t undermine his pharma stocks.

Oxford university had previously secured funding from the UK gov to develop the vaccine under the expectation they open source it so that poorer countries would have greater vaccine access and the rollout could be faster.

Not really. Fedora is community run.

You really don’t. I don’t know what on earth you’re doing that requires it.

And I have to do bullshit like go onto powershell and the heap of shit that is the Windows registry from time to time, too. Shit, you need to enter commands to install windows with an offline account now, it’s insane.

I wish Microsoft could make Windows as user-friendly as most Linux distros are. It seems like you need to be a computer scientist to use Windows sometimes.

Rich billionaire twat who owns a shitload of Microsoft shares says AI is good, don’t let the bubble burst. More at ten.

On the one hand, that is cool as fuck.

Unfortunately though, I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been using Linux for 16 years and never experienced a panic screen, so I probably won’t get to see Tux :/

Do they? Presumably they’d open source and upstream their firmware or at the very least provide longer software support if that were the case.

Phew. I can rest easy now. I was constantly mashing F5 to find out if they’d offer Stroll a seat.

Why? Wayland has been working well on non Nvidia hardware on Gnome the entire time I’ve been using it - since 2016.

I truly don’t understand the people who make hating Wayland their entire personality.

You’re in the minority and stuck in the past. Be thankful the devs are keeping X11 as an option for you.

Nope. 2 days.

Announcement that having sex with children is bad, actually: 14th September 2019

Resignation: 16th September 2019

E: not really sure why you’d downvote a factual statement. Go look at his blog (stallman.org) for those dates.

Please stop defending this. Raping children is a bad thing. He’s not a deity figure to be worshipped. He is human and he is fallible. Having excellent ideas when it comes to software does not mean he has excellent ideas in every aspect of his life. You don’t need to defend him on this.

The post should be renamed as The incomplete list of European news websites blocked by Russia on the 25th of June 2024

If my screen recorder software doesn’t put an “UNREGISTERED HYPERCAM 2” watermark at the top left corner, then I’m completely uninterested, smh

They won’t do E2EE until it’s part of the standard. That is being worked on.

Google only has it because they have an extremely proprietary, non-standard RCS implementation. Tbh, Google should’ve open sourced this and had it as part of the RCS standard, but they didn’t.

And yeah the EU isn’t going to force anything on iMessage because it’s literally irrelevant outside of the US. I don’t know anybody who seriously uses iMessage tbh, despite like 40% of people here using iPhones.

Indeed. USB-C is already a lot more feature-rich now than it was when initially designed, yet it hasn’t necessitated moving to a different port or broken protocol compatibility with older USB versions.

I’m just pointing out that even if we decide to move beyond USB-C, the law already allows for that.

I truly don’t understand why some are against the law pushing for a standard here. Would these people like it if different branded lightbulbs used different sockets? Or their TV, toaster, washing machine, playstation etc all used different plug sockets? Or only Volkswagen garages had fuel nozzles that fit into Volkswagen cars? Standards are a good thing.

Oh yes I’m almost as smart as the geniuses involved in EU tech laws that wanted to spy on all your encrypted conversations.

Do you mean the one that was proposed and then was immediately shot down? Try reading beyond the scary headlines. Any representative can propose a law, doesn’t mean it’ll get voted through and enacted.

Could is not the problem. Nearly all of today’s problems could be solved through effective legislation. The problem isn’t could they, it’s would they and who would push for the updated laws.

Like I said, the law doesn’t need to be updated as it was forward-thinking in its design. It already allows for emerging standards. And why would they decide not to update it if they didn’t have that provision? Why would they do that?
