Ew. I knew about the black odorless poop, but was taught they would only release it after birth. Of course it makes sense that, like all things in life, you can’t say always or never.

Not in the womb they don’t.

Nope. Only have the one. I usually create a separate /boot partition and use UEFI, I think.

I haven’t had dual boot problems since the early 2010s. I don’t even know what I’m doing right.

He absolutely admits when he’s wrong (as soon as he realizes anyway). I think it’s part of his “no bullshit” value extending to himself.

His outbursts were always with good reason. But you don’t need to belittle and scorn people to enforce values in a community. You don’t need to be an ass. He was, and attracted people like him, and now it’s darn near impossible to turn that culture around. At last not until a lot of the assholes like Ted retire.

Eh… Too little, too late.

Yeee haaww!

Happy cake day BTW.

There’s ono Dana only null?

Now I’ll do it even harder!

Linus has good values, by he’s also a toxic asshole that surrounded himself with other toxic assholes. And that’s why both immoral people and nice people eventually get shown the door / leave the Linux project.

Package manager update >< background information update

Unless your chat app requires a package manager update to retrieve new messages, we’re talking different things.

I’m positive that’s iOS.

!suddenlycaralho@lemmy.eco.br moment.

I think you’re misunderstanding it. Most mobile apps have sensible defaults regarding data and battery usage, for instance, not updating (their feeds/server status/whatever networked service the app uses) if not in WiFi.

And that’s Linus’ doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.

For example today I wanted to add a “start menu” shortcut to a program I had downloaded.

I get what you’re saying, but this is like “I tried to use Linux like it was Windows, and it was hard.” It’s a different OS. Go on, move the taskbar of Windows 11 to the left or right edges of the screen. I can do that on Linux, why can’t I do that on Windows? It’s not even hard, it’s just plain impossible. If you try to do things manually in Linux, it’s not going to be intuitive. It will feel like editing the Registry in Windows. Unintuitive and like arcane magic.

The lead developer certainly doesn’t. He maintains that it’s got several systems in production.

I’ll change my car from a Ford to Firestone.

Sounds more plausible. Either that or the system is reporting RAM + swap - VRAM reserved memory somehow.

How does 2 x 32 GB sticks give you 67 GB of RAM? Did you download more RAM?
