With tariffs and sanctions, it has become clear that open standards which can’t be controlled by governments are what is needed.
With what’s been happening over the past few years, there will be a lot of interested in this. Recently, I’ve seen lots of news about it, but that could just be the algorithm.
I was going to say, “For what?” But then I remember that Nintendo just blasts lawsuits at anyone who remotely mentions something related to one of their IPs.
I’m surprised they haven’t sued Italy over their name since that is where Mario is from.
Thanks! I didn’t know that was part of their thing. I just thought they made the phones repairable. Has their supply chain been audited by a third party?
They are pretty expensive for the hardware.
Unless I’m misremembering don’t they charge flagship prices but have midrange specs?
I don’t want to say the country, but when I went with my wife for me to get residency via marriage, this is how it went.
Immigration Officer: Do you have any questions? Me: No Immigration Officer: Sign here and come back in a month with your passport to implement the visa Me: Uhh… That’s it? OK Bye.
I saw that Zuckerberg had a $900,000 watch. I cannot figure out what would cause a watch the cost that much so I figured someone is just selling an expensive watch and a billionaire will buy it because it’s expensive.
So do you want to get in on expensive sticks we found in the woods? Starting price 200 grand
I’ve hired people and my wife has been in a position to evaluate applicants for a job.
What we have learned is that choosing an applicant is super subjective. Different things impress my wife and I in an applicant. (We work at different places)
Additionally, once I instructed applicants to do something specific in their application, but someone didn’t follow the instructions. Turns out the thing I said not to do when applying was actually much more helpful than I thought.
So even though a few people applied the “right” way, the girl who did it “wrong” got the job.
So when you apply, it’s mostly a matter of checking the right boxes and getting lucky.
I know that I should, and I’m technical enough to understand it. But the point I was making is that many people are not even close to technically proficient to learning it.
I just don’t know how to use databases like those, so I just use excel for my small business.
I’d like to see them ban Microsoft azure, aws, or whatever Google calls it. Not to mention the numerous smaller providers.
Italians will just pay with crypto to get around payment bans.
Why? A lot of people specifically do not use Linux for this reason. Like it or not, those apps are ingrained in the business world.
People are not going to sacrifice their income to use Linux. That is why I have a second computer just for windows for work.
If it weren’t for that, I could just use one computer with 2 user accounts.
We, long-time users of Linux, all have our opinions based on various preferences. The thing is that a lot of these preferences are pretty technical, like Ubuntu having snaps, Fedora and Mints’ flat pak policies, etc…
For the average user, they will not know what this is or even see a difference between the systems at first. The linux community would do better if we could have a unified front on distro recommendations. People will switch distros as they learn and their curiosity grows.
I think, we should ask people to pick based on their DE preference. If they want something like windows, let them have Mint or Kubuntu, if they want something closer to mac, let them have Ubuntu. I say this as someone who likes Fedora Plasma spin.
Everything else, is just information overload and will give users decision paralysis.
Our goal should be conversion of users. Once our numbers start growing, then things will pickup. Just imagine if we had office and adobe products here. How many people would be able to switch. I still use windows on my work computer as there is a single app holding me back.
I love plasma. I used to be into cinnamon, but since the steamdeck, I’ve changed my preference.
Now, I have fedoranplasma spin on my thinkpad.
I really like the windows style DE.
I think what he is referring to is reports that companies were raising prices higher than the rate of inflation as a way to increase profits. They would then blame inflation even though inflation was lower than the rate that they raised prices.
And yet, sadly, there are only like 5 people in my entire contact list who use it.
What a shame…
Ohh, gotcha. Yeah. Just enable flathub for him. It’s super simple, but I’m sure you know that.
I think that this is a pretty good reason.
If the billionaires are using it for privacy, then it is likely the best one.
I mean, how much do you wanna bet that they all had a private dinner with the other billionaires that own other apps and had a private conversation about whether their messages are actually private and able to be hid from the government?
Why remove flatpak?
If your flatmate is new to Linux, it will probably be helpful.
If he is using the gnome de, then install whatever extensions you need to give the windows a minimized button, or point him towards the plasma spin.
What about Intel? I’ve been trying to get hardware acceleration on Firefox all day yesterday with no luck.
Hopefully it can just run off wall power while at home. It would suck to change in the middle of each night.
