Year of Linux on the Desktop
  • Win 7 64-bit handily beats any distro of Linux at .69% (nice). Comparing only to 32-bit isn't a fair comparison. Not that I'm against using Linux, I use Pop_os on a spare computer as a Linux test bed for gaming.

  • Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud
  • True, but thankfully there are a lot of choices in that space, and it's constantly growing. And if there aren't, a lot of times it's possible to make one (or buy someone's) using an esp32 or similar. Zigbee, zwave, and matter devices should all be possible to run local only.

  • Absolutely agree. Bethesda games have always been "go fuck around and find random stuff to do" games to me and I'm having a lot of fun so far. I enjoy just "living in" the universes they make. It took me over 100 hours to reach the main stadium town in Fallout 4 because I would go off and explore waymarkers and make my own fun. And that's a place you're supposed to go relatively early in the main story, IIRC. I would certainly not call it a 10/10 because it definitely has problems, but none have gotten in the way of my enjoyment so far.

  • They're not supposed to look like that
  • Yeah, which is why you shouldn't use strong household cleaners around kids, and should only use it with proper ventilation and a respiratory device if warranted. And smoking is bad, don't do it around your kids.

    "Why should I stop doing one harmful thing when I knowingly do a lot of other dumb harmful things."

  • It may be more difficult than a relatively static price, but if they can figure out how to charge it, they can figure out how to display it. Any ISP sites I've used have you put in zip code anyway to view services. There's no reason they can't set it up to show the exact fee rates per area. I know you said you're not defending them, but "it's hard" isn't really an excuse.

  • Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
  • That is a bit surprising for the reasons you say. EVs having less reliability overall kinda makes sense given the market is still going through growing pains. I'm betting it will improve quickly given that most manufacturers are still ramping up production.

  • Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
  • If I already had a Tesla I don't know that I'd sell it because of him, but he was one of the major factors in me not even considering them when I was shopping for my EV. The other reasons being shoddy quality control, shitty practices, and dumb design decisions. All of which probably stem from him anyway.

  • You didn't bought it you rented it! - Lemmy.world
  • When I bought my house the previous owners didn't want their old printer and asked if we wanted it. I said sure, figuring if it was crap I can just get rid of it. It's a 14 year old Brother laser printer and I'm never getting rid of it. It's big, it's got no wifi, can only scan to USB or an FTP server, and (obviously) only prints in black and white. But I'll be damned if the thing doesn't just work without any fuss. You turn it on, hit print and it fucking prints. No fade lines or misprints because you haven't printed in 3 months.

    My old inkjet sits in a closet now collecting dust. Fuck dealing with ink that dries up and constantly needs to be changed or cleaned.

  • Could we have had Beast Wars in the 60s?
  • You're not wrong, but I think the above poster was sarcastically pointing out that people who believe that the government is highly coordinated and competent don't trust the government to run healthcare because it's too uncoordinated and incompetent. Both incredibly strong and also laughably weak.

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
  • The critic vs audience score divide is pretty telling for some movies. Ant-Man: Quantumania and both Venom movies come to mind as movies that were critically panned but had pretty high audience score. They're nothing spectacular but still dumb fun movies.

  • Have you ever dumped a job right after youve been hired?
  • Stringing them along and wasting more of their time and money was the not a dick option? I'd say that's the be more of a dick option. I'm all for walking out on a shitty job, but it sounds like their worst crime was not giving you as good an offer as somewhere else.

  • Is there a way to block entire instances?
  • Maybe it was just buggy a couple weeks ago when I tried it, but I tried blocking feddit.de and it didn't work. I would still see magazines from that instance, I had to block them individually to make them go away.

  • How do you keep docker/podman containers up-to-date?
  • I use something called What's Up Docker to check for docker updates. It integrates nicely with Home Assistant, so I made a card on my server state dashboard that shows which containers have updates available. I'll check every so often and update my docker-compose files.

  • Setting up selfhosting without a terminal
  • Agreed with this, they may want the setup but have no interest in managing it, no matter how simple you get it. If you do it for them you might be setting yourself up as their permanent support.

    I'd gauge how interested they actually are, and make sure they're willing to learn enough to follow basic maintenance routines.
