Have you looked at ubuntu touch supported devices?

That might do some tablets - although i guess they’re focussed on phones - and I think have very little resources.

Yeah interesting - I don’t know how many say flatpaks will work on arm. I guess you’re basically able to run most of what a raspberry pi can or whatever is in debian’s arm repos though.

On lineage you can use auroura store too for a less googley halfway house.

The article mentions waydroid - but it doesnt go into that much detail on it. I find waydroid to be very good on a decent linux pc - but does it work well enough on ubuntu touch. I’d not do anything heavy though like mobile games on waydroid - that’d seem wierd.

Is there any benefit/cost though to effectively running your apps via a lineage v.m?

I’d think if there is it might come down to some wierd security thing but probably at cost of startup time or performance, or maybe even power consumption.

Make some other stupid meme or joke that windows does understand then. Maybe it turns our death is secretly using adobe creative cloud on a windows to design the gravestones.

I m not going on /c/windowsmemes to make boring serious complaints about why I don’t understand regedit.

You’ve got to at least to be funny about it on a meme, otherwise it’s just depressing. Theres enough deprssing shit on the serious linux forums.

Or maybe there should be a new meme community linuxwindowstrollbait that is for snarky comments.

Or maybe I just stop moaning and unsubscribe fron this one.

Linuxmemes should instigate a new rule.

Replies should not be serious, boring and/or don’t to know seem to know what a stupid memepost is for.

Windows users should be rebutting this with equally stupid memes about xorg.conf or cups or maybe another panel where death is unable to kill windows because it lost the archlinux-keyring to unlock the scythe.

I’d like a comparison to lineage OS. There seems to be a very short supported device list for ubuntu, but maybe thats how they keep the install process simplified. Cyanogen always relied a lot on xda-developers community i think - so many unofficial devices supported just by enthusiasts willing to risk bricking devices.

I recently upgraded to a (used) sony XA2. it was a right pain to install lineage os - way harder than previous samsung S3/4/5 type phones. It was mostly just trying every goddamn usb port on every pc in my house until finally one with which ADB would actually flash the bios.

I’ve never bothered to researach exactly what are the security issues with lineage OS , it’s something where a decent bit of journalism might help. I’m not very into many apps though so i suspect that lowers the risk to me.

I’m happy with lineage os too.

Unexpected but entirely welcome.

People do forget this all too often.

Cheaper stuff, use more , value less.

Having to listen to that Queen song, forever.

It’s a handy way to know what to avoid.

But why don’t pubs seem to know that? Most pubs these days hav become lemon parties.

I don’t know what a “synapse link” is i’m sure we’d not be allowed access to that; though I can think of at least one manager who would have parrotted that for a few monts if they’d heard it; “data lake” was also one of those for a while, it seems to have given way to “lakehouse” now. I just want to put on concrete boots, jump off the boat and hope it’s deep enough.

For me, at work it’s more MS sharepoint and MS dynamic (+oracle clod shit of course) that fk me over on a daily basis - that’s possibly due to the way our IT people don’t seem to know how to use them or set them up - and won’t let us query(just SELECT) the dynamics tables directly using SQL for whatever reason. (i suspect we have to pay MS to acces our own data). And of course things like MS excel being used to mangle data by default all the time - yeah i know always use power query import . . . just everything takes six extra steps and the easy way is always the worst way.

W10 is mostly okay. I mean it’s slow and hard to use, blasts the cpu fan all the time, is still annoying with updates, and I have to “right click open with” to open anything in the application that i want (even when there is only one native appllication for the file format). You get used to working around that shit.

That is just not true for sharepoint and other MS apps, it gets worse, and as soon as you think you get used to a workaround for one thing, something else changes or an old thing resurfaces. and dynamic has just “upgraded” the colour scheme of the status colum so that there is no contrast between the background and the text. black text on white background, good enough for every other column, but no upgrade that one to black on dark blue, thanks bill you’re a F-ing-C. how do they screw up things like that as a bajillion dollar company.

So I was going to say that W10 is more or less stable and it is other MS stuff that I hate more. that is probably true. but actually sitting down and writing out the above, W10 is still pretty horrible to . . . whether it’s our IT or MS itself, it’s shit.

I much prefer my home linuxes, it is just as stable (for me) - and just so much easier to use - and most of all it is quieter on the fan. So much more relaxing.

W11 had better be “not worse” or i’ll probably have to quit.

yes. And if i commit to modest contribution to the load, it’s nice for me to pay less - I dont want to pay for the extra modems for all the streamers who can’t afford DVDs. I’m saving my money for DVDs. I’d rather buy fast speed low quantity, rather than slow speed unlimited quantity.

The regulator should focus on is the market competetive - at what levels, are profit magins reasonable (insofar as they can measure them).

Not limiting choice unless it is obviously part of a price discrimination harming consumers overal (which means colluding to segment marget to drive up the profit margin. Even then the solution is not necessarily to homogenise the service, maybe just regulate prices, or regulate allowed total revenue as a fraction of regulated asset base/customer base.

I’d rarely agree with anything calling itself “economist group” but this part seems reasonable to me. differentiation is not always abuse of market power. So long as the tarrifs on offer are broadly cost reflective.

On debian i just comment out all except the main official repos that I want. As long as you have the main deb and security and updates ones i think you’ll be fine.

I tend to go for flatpak or appimage for anything not in those. I’d avoid any testing, unstable , backport sources unless you know what you’re getting into.

I guess you’re maybe using aptitude to avoid cli, but i’d recommend at least looking at the /etc/apt/soures.list file, and any stuff in the subfolder /etc/apt/soures.list.d

This is the list of where it looks for software. If it can’t connect to any of those, It’ll probably warn you about an unavailable source.

Have you been watching a fairly terrible late1990/early2000s tv series starring jessica alba? I’m pretty sure they had some fish-mutants.

I don’t think you can radically change a human’s environment that much faster than nature, especially not a system so critical as breathing. The whole organism (including the internal microbiome) needs to co-evolve with itself and the ecosystem it is to survive in - to function effectively as an independent organism. I don’t know how long it took cetaceans to evolve, but even they still breathe air at the surface - they’re really just big flappy hippos.

I’m sure it’s not impossible but I think you’d need, many, maybe thousands of generations for it to become something viable that can effectively provide enough oxygen to the other systems - or more likely adapt all the other systems to less oxygen. So it might have to live basically in a lab / sea-world for centuries. You might need scientists with unusual ethical standards to get to human - but an underwater rat? I’m sure you’d find a few Dr Mephestos out there eager to drown a few thousand of those.

I thought it was a German ski resort.

no*, no, and no.

*not the ones i’m interested in using.

I’d try to do tasks with some sort of reasonably objective testing system or I’d go crazy.

If that’s not possible for a task, then minimise the time spent; try to spend a bit more time doing the other type of thing.

I don’t mind doing something artistic as a passtime/hobby. But no way could I do only tasks like that as my sole contribution to society - I’d probably have to do as much drugs as a stereotypical rock-star.

liveusb or vm - try before you don’t buy - especially if you have a tonne of specifoc requirements. distro doesn’t really matter.

In linux i think qemu/kvm is preferred for virtual machines - it’s a bit fiddly, but i think it performs better and fuck oracle.
