gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 supportEnglish4·2 年前They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory
you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?
that’s the beauty of distros, those that want traditional package structure can still use a distro that does.
Even the current flatpak first distros like OSTree spins of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite et al) provide mutable containers for using any package format you like.
The flatpak size disadvantage is negligible in the age of terabytes
the issue is overstated as most flatpaks use the flatpak platform runtimes and share their own libraries in a similar manner to the host, yes its separate libraries, but its not dozens of disparate copies like some detractors of flatpak seem to state
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop marketEnglish10·2 年前whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you’ll buy time on a “cloud pc” like what microsoft will already sell you in azure
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?1·2 年前Sorry I didn’t see a notification for this.
It’s a different work flow installing software. Flatpak first mentality, then install stuff in a Toolbox container, if that doesn’t work layer the rpm.
Being able to rebase has been helpful, I’ve based forward to rawhide a few times to try new packages and then rebase back to stable.
You lose things like being able to use packages out of copr, but used to only really use that to test new versions of KDE. However the devs created a branch for KDE testing anyway, so nothing lost.
Happy to answer any specific questions you might have
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download ChromeEnglish6·2 年前Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn’t make enough money, that’s why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.
Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?72·2 年前Don’t know if this counts - used Fedora KDE for about a decade and then last year moved to Fedora Kinoite. It’s essentially the same, but is OSTree based and immutable. I like the solid base, the rebasing function and containers
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to codeEnglish3·2 年前Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to codeEnglish8·2 年前The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 May Require a SubscriptionEnglish12·2 年前It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn’t necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don’t offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.
There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.
No one knows
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 May Require a SubscriptionEnglish9·2 年前Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1
For me it has been since 2012.

gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•PipeWire 1.0 Planned For Release Later This Year91·2 年前Pipewire has been great, except for some edge cases
Still got passthrough issues 2years later
gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible1·2 年前it is my understanding that our sucky Assistance and Access Act, is fundamentally different, it compels developers provide back doors where it will not systemically undermine the system. To my understanding the UK one requests “breaking” e2ee in its entirely - which is why services like Signal were considering full exiting the region?

gnuplusmatt@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•UK passes "online safety" bill making end-to-end encryption impossible13·2 年前If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we’d be living in a utopia by now.
They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there’s been other countries trying the same BS
millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars
