I used to perform data analysis of robotics firmware logs which would generate several million log lines per hour and that was my second job out of college.

I don’t know how you fuck up 60k lines that bad. Is he nesting 150 for loops and loading a copy of the data set in each one while mining crypto??

This is too bad to hear. I installed Debian stable and have no issues gaming despite also using NVIDIA hardware at present.

What issues did you have with your games?

At the minute, a true open source and free browser/web engine, though I know this is nigh impossible to maintain without thousands of people. Some part of me is hopeful though given recent events.

The problem with Element as it compares to discord in my experience of showing it to discord-heavy users is that it does not contain the feature set that they are seeking.

Discords roles and permissions abilities, multiple channel types, streaming capabilities, public bots that are easily joinable, profile customization features, moderation capabilities, and more have no real equivalent in Matrix/element. Hence, when I have shown it to discord users before, they have 0 interest in using it because for them it is like reverting to an IRC.

but I also read some comments about doing kind of bad design on purpose. Like keeping things plain, boring, “function over form” kind of design. Is that a thing in the scene?

Not for most projects as far as I have seen. You are right that for a lot of things, UX/UI can be a bit of an after-thought, but for some projects it can get a lot of attention.

I feel as though a lot of projects have recently reached a point where they have time to begin thinking about how things look though, and it’s nice because I think it has made Linux and open source as a whole much more appealing to a wider audience.

It used to be that you would show someone a Linux desktop and they would recoil from it because of how things looked, but now when I show friends screenshots of customized window managers and applications in their current state, so many more people are attracted to it because the aesthetics now crush a lot of what the proprietary stuff has.

Even my parents in their late 60’s when I put them on Mint with Cinnamon felt as though they could more easily find where things were compared to Windows, and felt as though it is the embodiment of what an actual modern OS should be.

All in all, if anyone claims they don’t want a better UX/UI because they are focusing on “function”, it usually just means they don’t understand the meaning of the word. People like you who want to contribute on that end are very welcome.

It may depend on when you purchased, but my win11 pro USB I purchased still has the ability to skip the MS account creation with OOBE /bypassnro.

I think they made the timing you had to run this and reboot trickier though because too soon into the setup or too late and it will not work.

You also have to straight up yank the Ethernet cable at some point.

If you have a moment, could you enlighten me as to what this singular gateway LibreWolf uses refers to per the top level users comment? Thanks.

I’m completely out of the loop. What happened?

I went one year and six months. It was bad. I’m wishing you the best.

Thanks, uninstalled from app store and did this instead.

(Just hopefully not Nord VPN)

Check out revolt chat. It’s an attempt to make a Foss clone of discord.

Nothing can really kill reddit, but as far as content goes I expect it will follow the same path facebook did where the only people who eventually really interact on it will be conspiracy theorists and moms.

I had this happen to someone I mentor and pointed out that they had two versions of the same file in two different paths named the same. They were running the version in the other path than they were editing lol.

Used to do outsourced IT for a lot of different companies including some large law firms.

Literally had one asshole lawyer put in tickets every time which consisted of something like:

“There’s something wrong on my computer. I’ll be away from my desk from 6:22 to 6:27, have it fixed by the time I get back.”

Queue nothing getting fixed and this removed trying to leverage that as a reason why their law firm of 250 people didn’t need IT services.

I did, completely. I don’t spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

Too late, found something better.
