Time for a new 1.2Gb Java TikTok app

And subscriptions

And forced billing

And ORA notification messages

That’s me on every road trip

Thank you for awakening a forgotten trauma.

Then, Nvidia drivers lags behind new releases on this distribution. It’s not helping, I went from tumbleweed to mint because of that 🥲

Yes they were mostly xmr miners, or reverse shell (pretty much like all those windows RAT)

Good. Good. If enough countries retire we may have a chance to win.

Then Mint is Ubuntu refined for technophobe or people too busy to mess with their OS, plus perfect ability to reuse all Ubuntu targeted software and skills.

I hope it last, web enshitification may bring us back to the 2000s where that one site requires internet explorer, this one won’t allow DRM content on non windows platforms…

It’s just around the corner.

Luckily at work we are allowed to install a dual boot, or even single boot with Linux. The one obligation is to run the corporate antivirus and vpn client (and yes we had malware detections of Linux binaries).

Dual booting for the last 6 months, now 100% on Linux (Mint). Can’t say I miss anything from windows, maybe ms office’s polished apps but I can’t care less. Nowadays everything runs in the browser, it has become « the OS ». And almost every browser is a chromium variant that’s it.

" not much "

It’s not called mastodon for nothing 🤷‍♂️

That’s 90% true: today AI is writing 90% of all bullshit I read

Not sure one more unfinished filesystem is what the kernel needs the most…

VPN for streaming on the go ? Too much hassle 😓

Pandora is unavailable in Europe, does anyone knows solid alternatives ?

Let’s save this post for the next follow friday…

You may look at SDF.org they provide shell accounts and hosting.

There was systemd before, now the Wayland train.

Hope BSDs can keep up in the long term with Linux centric OSS evolutions

Please hold still and look straight at the funny webcam

How does it compare to mattermost or rocketchat?

I was a mattermost admin on a pretty big corporate instance ages ago, it faded out not because of teams but because of lacking integration with productivity software.

Actually we were denied integration efforts because trust issues OSS vs corpo. How ironic today when pretty much everything is tied to a foreign cloud ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And by setting your VPN right you mean activating full tunneling, blocking connections if the tunnel happens to disconnect, enforcing DNS through the tunnel … did I miss something?
