The slow decline isn't slow anymore
  • Yes endgame was good, but fuck if people aren't now comparing the "weekly episodes" to what was essentially the epic 2 part seaon finale.

    spoiler plus

    season 2 of Loki was as good as anything they've done___

  • Don't know where else to say this ... but I'm enjoying the new shows on my own.
  • I'm not defending negative nellies - but its is possible to enjoy something and still criticise it. You've attacked me in the past for having a minor criticism. I'm not going to block you over it, I just think twice about whether I want the hassle, but maybe that's just me

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x10 "Old Friends, New Planets"
  • I liked the "He looks like Tom Paris" back and forth, I'm glad they didn't do something hokey like he's Tom Paris' cousin or something. I liked the flashback showing Mariner as the tag along first year, worked better than just telling us in the previous episode, that flashback probably should have been attached to episode 9.

    I kept expecting William Boimler to show up before the end of the season, guess they're holding onto that thread for next year

  • Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support
  • They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory

    you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?

  • The future of Linux
  • that's the beauty of distros, those that want traditional package structure can still use a distro that does.

    Even the current flatpak first distros like OSTree spins of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite et al) provide mutable containers for using any package format you like.

  • The future of Linux
  • The flatpak size disadvantage is negligible in the age of terabytes

    the issue is overstated as most flatpaks use the flatpak platform runtimes and share their own libraries in a similar manner to the host, yes its separate libraries, but its not dozens of disparate copies like some detractors of flatpak seem to state

  • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
  • whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you'll buy time on a "cloud pc" like what microsoft will already sell you in azure

  • Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?
  • Sorry I didn't see a notification for this.

    It's a different work flow installing software. Flatpak first mentality, then install stuff in a Toolbox container, if that doesn't work layer the rpm.

    Being able to rebase has been helpful, I've based forward to rawhide a few times to try new packages and then rebase back to stable.

    You lose things like being able to use packages out of copr, but used to only really use that to test new versions of KDE. However the devs created a branch for KDE testing anyway, so nothing lost.

    Happy to answer any specific questions you might have

  • Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome
  • Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn't make enough money, that's why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.

    Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from

  • Prodigy not entirely gone from Paramount Plus?

    strangely if you search star trek prodigy on paramount plus (in my case as an addon to my primevideo subscription) - episodes s1e03 and 04 are available and play fine. The rest are marked unavailable as expected.

    I'm guessing its a mistake, but would be cool if this were an indication of something happening
