it was a real hero

at least? wouldn’t it be cheaper to replace the motherboard nowadays?

its not really an UEFI issue but a windows one. unlike BIOS systems, UEFI was made capable to handle this, yet windows fucks it up.

it also depends on your configuration. on an ESP partition there’s a default bootloader, and per-os bootloaders in directories. if you rely on using the default bootloader, windows will overwrite that from time to time, but it can fuck up the per-os bootloader setup too if it fucks with the list that the efibootmgr command manages on linux. I don’t know whether it does the latter

so I had to take all my exams with a proctor staring at me.

much much better than having to install spyware. a proctoring spyware could record your precise mouse movements, keypresses and build a profile out of it, or upload anything from your computer to its developers. but a proctor person? what will they do, take notes? they only see what you show them, and by using a different OS account they really can’t see anything sensitive.

don’t forget google drive, and facebook without ads

One is Sun Surveyor. It’s an AR app that shows you the position of the sun, moon, and galactic center at any given time.

it doesn’t know the galactic center but otherwise check Trail Sense on f-droid. the astronomy tool has a 3d mode that shows where the sun and the moon is. oh it says there will be visible meteor showers in a few hours!

that wouldn’t work without tinkering anyways with the latest windows 11 versions

to add another point: the huge filesize of the image, despite it being a relatively simple comic. I noticed it by loading unusually slowly. It’s because the solid color areas are not actually solid color, but have noise that’s hard to see, and all that detail can’t really be compressed away

? The camera is just to check on the customers if they are scanning everything properly and not stealing.

the camera built in above the screen only sees your face, it cannot be used to check that.

they are satisfied that you identify yourself consistently with the same number.

they don’t want to call you, what they want is to track you

payment system: GNU Taler

but adoption is really, really slow

so I don’t know who would pirate an OS anymore

those who don’t know what they’re doing, but some are still doing it so good point

I guess average people are not opinionated about desktop environments. they got familiar with one, and it’s fine to them, they’re not even thinking about trying something else.

kde neon is their testbed I believe, but there are other distros shipping it too.

opensuse leap and thumbleweed defaults to installing kde plasma. leap is the slower moving version, thumbleweed is the bleeding edge rolling release distro, if you want to try it.

fedora has a kde edition, that too seems to be stable, maybe its more polished too

not in europe, we have a colon there

Note that you shouldn’t use subnets smaller than a /64, as several features (such as SLAAC and privacy extensions) rely on it.

it seems so silly an oversight of ipv6. sometimes you just can’t have /64 subnets because the ISP only gives you a single /64

you all need to blow your noses

Does it suck if you own a Tivo? Yes. Don’t buy one.

as I see there are no TV and only one or two smartphone makers that are not tivo, so saying that is equal to “don’t buy home appliances, move into the woods”
