You would, it’s very very straightforward they made it very simple. I literally walked multiple non-technical users through it when it happened because I have moved some of my friends and family to Linux. I won’t say that it wasn’t tedious and that it wasn’t annoying for them but they got through it just fine

I literally consider Debian to be less functionally stable than arch because of Apt. I’ve had apt completely eviscerate systems and then just bail out leaving you with a system that has a completely empty /bin with seemingly no easy way to recover.

Meanwhile pacman has literally never done that, and even on systems that became horrifically broken due to literal data corruption I was able to just chroot in, download a static built pacman, and reinstall all native packages with a single command… It’s nuts how much more reliable and repairable arch ia but people act like it’s frail just because it gets updates more than once every century

Tldr it’s cache, its a GOOD thing and you WANT it to happen. The memory is available if applications need it

It’s because PCI requirements, they offer to store credit card information and PCI compliance now requires that be under a 2FA. Also honestly, you should be using 2FA regardless, make it less annoying by using a proper token Authenticator. Authy is a decent one, avoid Google Authenticator bit Warden also offers a separate program for token Authentication that you can use on your phone.

Tokens are still an extra step but less annoying than having to go check your email for a code. Or you can go the extra mile and purchase something like a yubikey, all you have to do is have it plugged into a computer USB port and it will handle the two-factor for you automatically

I mean they are not wrong, Linux is a very big threat of good cyber security which makes it harder for them to collect information. I am not at all surprised that Facebook views cyber security practices as a threat( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah I used to do consumer computer recycling and the really old laptops that were not worth a Windows reseller’s license we would just slap Linux on I tested just about every de out there and plasma was shockingly fast on some of these ancient Celeron laptops. Gnome was like molasses, I’ve never understood where people get the idea of the plasma is heavy

It’s my understanding that when used for frying coconut oil actually creates less of the harmful byproducts of being heated then eat olive oil does

I mean sure or you could just start by using a format that’s not so painfully strict with how it’s laid out. I miss the good old INI config. It couldn’t give two shits how you format it, throw in random spaces random tabs random new lines so long as the value was correct

Anyone that says yaml is readable is psychotic. It’s literally objectively not readable because a random white space character can break the entire thing and that’s by definition not readable I can’t see whether there’s a white space or not without explicitly setting that up in an editor

I would do OnlyFans just for fun if i was female and or attractive

Save it as a pdf (using the print option) in case it gets disappeared

Technically this wouldn’t be that hard to do you could get one of those garden hose soap attachments and attach it to the water hose for the bidet and simply fill it with whatever body hand soap whatever you want.

And you would be able to toggle the soap on and off on the little bottle I kind of want to try this with mine now

The worst part is that convincing people to use less is difficult even when it’s something easy. Let’s say for example that your dryer brakes and you need to replace it and up until this point you’ve been using either a standard resistive electric dryer or a gas dryer. Heat pump dryers are now readily available, of good quality, and use literally 1/4 the power of a resistive electric to do the same job.

If we could convince everyone to just only buy heat pump dryers from this point forward that alone would create a ridiculous drop in energy usage for drying clothes as it’s a very energy intensive task. But people don’t like things that are different and so convincing them to try it is very hard. I had to basically purchase one for my grandparents to get them to be willing to try it and now they love it but initially they were very strongly against trying

There’s also a bunch of dumb but sometimes arguments. Take LED stop lights for example one of the biggest arguments against them is in places where it tends to snow every year they say oh well they aren’t worth it here because when it snows they get covered and if you put a heating wire on them to melt the snow then you’re not saving any power over the standard ones. But it’s like hello rub a couple brain cells together unless you are somewhere where it snows 365 days of the year you’re still saving the power whenever it’s not snowing which is a pretty drastic amount of power across an entire city or state.

I could sit here and give examples all day but suffice to say convincing people to use less even when It ultimately results in a better end result for them is exacerbatingly difficult

Getting good is an alternative, coding will always be a trade between ease and quality. Super high level languages are super easy and accessible but the tradeoff is you have no idea what is actually happening on the backend nor much control of it and it requires bloated web engines to manage and run.

The vast majority of game engines already have seamless cross platform support. Nothing need be done beyond selecting your target when compiling. Use Vulkan instead of dx11/12 and good to go

Maybe it’s been improved, i haven’t used slack in many years now. But i remember it having hilarious issues with state tracking. Trying to go back to old messages would fail half the time it would just scroll up to some random midway point then give up.

Would see notifications of new messages in a channel but didn’t see anything new until reloading slack. Based on what you are saying sounds like they fixed that. Which is good, however I’m willing to bet it still wants 1GB+ of memory just to display some text so bloated/slow still applies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And no I’m not one of those “just use irc” people. Telegram supports all the modern stickers, files, audio, etc but it’s fast and surprisingly light. But it’s also written in native C++ so that’s more expected

Slow, bloated, buggy af. Name one electron application that doesn’t struggle with state tracking over a long session, even just for simple shit like chat. The browser wasn’t supposed to be a real time application, no amount of trying to bolt it on will ever make it ok

Oooooor have a secondary cheap absolute trash phone that is ONLY for those shitty government auth tools. Not ideal but gives you some control again
