100% agree, and made pretty much the same point in the LTT forum a while back. Flavor of the month people annoy tf out of me, I’ve been a linux user for over a decade and have never even thought of recommending something outside of the big 3 (debian/ubuntu (or mint if that’s your thing), fedora, arch)

Tried and true distros are the only real option and IMO the difference between distros once everything is configured is mininal

🫡🫡 no problem, hope it helps!

The built in photo editor on Samsung

Basically i turned each of the presidents into a sticker, colored out what was there, and then put the sticker back in the correct column

Thats why its a little haphazard, i had to color everything out and position/resize the icons manually

I tried my best 😭 i made the edits on my phone

This chart is kinda annoying to read, so here:

Interesting choice to make a false equivalence between show spoilers and physical assault whilst simultaneously disregarding the points I made

Yeah… That wasn’t a stat i was happy to find out either ;-;

No, but this is an insanely popular show from 18 years ago.

It’s well past the common courtesy of not openly discussing spoilers online. No different than posting something referring to Ross/Rachel, Jim/Pam, The Sopranos, Darth Vader being Luke’s father, Luke/Leia being siblings, etc

Editing to add, it’s your job when watching an old show to avoid spoilers. I managed to watch the entirety of the Sopranos for the first time a few months ago without getting any spoilers, because I just skipped over anything that referenced it without actually reading it. Very simple, you see a character you know -> you skip.

Another example: although Better Call Saul is also in the zeitgeist, I’ve managed to steer clear of spoilers for it so nothing will be ruined when I do.

These shows are old & popular, it’s not reasonable to expect everyone to avoid talking about them in perpetuity

So what you’re saying is, we’re all just REALLY good factorio runs

Old thread, but came here from another comment. Any plans to release any code/steps for migration? If PieFed overtakes Lemmy as the better option, I’d be interested in testing it out as well

Whats interesting is that, in my experience, people find it SUPER weird for you to have a knife

Then a couple hours later, they’re asking to borrow it to open something

Elite Ball knowledge

This is true, i didn’t read the part where he’s keeping everything except the motherboard/cpu. I’m used to switching out to random gpus LMAO

For your linux partition you’d probably just need to install new drivers. I’ve popped my boot drive into a bunch of different pcs with no issue.

Your windows partition might be weird, last i heard it assigns the activation to the motherboard serial number or something so you might have to redo the crack or provide your activation code again

Brutal, i worked in b4 consulting before. They had Macs but you basically had to know someone to fight for it on your behalf.

I feel your pain, i struggled with a dell craptop for years. I swear to god, those things are designed to be awful.

(Although, shortly before i left i saw the new ones they were handing out which had Ryzen CPUs and actually looked pretty decent, but idk how well they worked because i left obv)

Maybe this works for a small-medium business, but for large enterprises (i work for a massive tech company) it doesn’t work like that.

Corporate devices are bought through enterprise service agreements, which have to go through the lawyers as well as the procurement team. Although you could get a contract from Lenovo for the actual devices, a Linux distro would have no service agreement, so that would kill it right there (+ legal would probably flag the risk of malicious code being injected into the OS, i.e. xz). Ignoring thag, devices that are onboarded need to be able to fit into existing device management solutions (ABM/MDM, EDR, DLP, AD, etc etc).

And before any of that, there would be some survey that goes out to determine how many employees would realistically make the switch. For Linux, that number would likely be so low that the business teams would decide it isn’t worth a discussion because of low business impact & user desire (not to mention that now the IT teams also need to be skilled up to support it).

I couldn’t even get a FOSS browser extension approved to be installed on my device, much less spur a movement for adding a whole new set of devices to the corporate inventory.

(Editing to add, i did talk to the IT guy and he said he wished he could give me one because he wants one too lol)

Well Zorin is ubuntu based, so i feel like that’s a win for Ubuntu (and debian)

Honestly, between the MBP and a similarly priced Dell as a company laptop, i choose the MBP.

The battery is better, the screen is better, performance is better, etc

Dell doesn’t know how to make a laptop & windows sucks ass. Macos is so locked down by default that all the restrictions on a company laptop don’t change the user experience all that much.

In an ideal world, id love a debian thinkpad or framework. But we don’t live in an ideal world, so had to choose between the two worst possible options

This actually reminds me, i had set something up a long time ago to do something similar (but forward the pic to discord)

Haven’t set it back up since reinstalling my OS, i should look into that

Thankfully, this doesn’t seem to apply to code written outside of the Arduino ecosystem, so i ASSUME that if you’re writing code for a cloned board using PlatformIO that these new terms don’t apply to you

If that’s not the case, I’ll switch to micropython (probably easier anyway)
