Win 8 was aggregious. 10 is more subtle (little notifications now and then)

Enterprise is better

fruitycoder , 3 days ago to linuxmemes in Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box

No idea what mactab is, but maybe it solves it for me, but being able to go from interface name back to a rack full of heterogeneous PCI cards and go "yep it should be this port" was a wildly useful feature.

I feel like there should be automatic alias creation for simply interface names though.

Any economical ways to run farms on rail? A lot of the roads where I have lived were just built and paid for by famers to move equipment between pay dirt and make their way to town occasionally

Hey you are doing your best and actually thinking of ways to be better. Don't let critics keep you down. (Just throwing my support your way)

I do think its possible but my bet is more on the probability that it will be leveraged to commodify and further alienate labor so that that power can be leveraged less.

The tools used to align the machines is where that power would reside in. A kind of church caste for the machine with the purpose of giving meaning.

I mean he's right. A system where ubi is just handed out to placate the unenpowered is a recipe for disaster.

We NEED real power, including economic. Why would your vote matter if the military doesn't need you, why would your purchasing power matter if you don't produce anything, etc.
People may have intrinsic worth but intrinsic worth doesn't the levers of power pull.

For real why are people so hyped about having less software built by people principled in protecting their freedoms?

GNU and the FSF are awesome!

K3s! You could even reuse your pis in the cluster.

I would deploy it to your new server, setup your CSI (e.g longhorn its pretty simple), find a helm chart for one of the apps and try deploying it.

I mean sure, but supporting explicit slavery is bad, so I'm gonna do my best to not.

Some people dig the holes some people fill them. Everyone greatful for the job.

If search engine fix the bullshit signifers the fake would dry up.

I think retrieval augmentation and fine tunning are the biggest tools to the results more refined (or better reference a document as a source of truth). The other ironically is just regular deterministic programming.

And Mozilla/Firefox

Its pretty common.

Honestly. This is why fair trade cert or taa compliant or just know trusted country is ok with me when I buy things.

I just don't want to be complict in known slavery. I don't want to support oppressive regimes. Etc, etc, etc.

If copyright is sacrosanct then the creation of data by me is my own personal property and without a contract anyone holding my data is in violation.

fruitycoder , 16 days ago to Privacy in Why don’t you like Apple?

As a citizen of the world its because they are slavers and fuck slavery. One of the biggest lobbiest against fighting slavery too.

Having been friends and family IT though its because they suck. They suck to work on. They suck to devolop for. They suck to run server stuff on. They suck to game on. And they cost an arm and leg for the privilege.
