Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

lud ,

One reason for not balancing it in the back is probably because putting stuff in the back makes it uncomfortable if you want to lean back in a chair or a couch which is probably very important for the device since it's primarily for sitting down compared to most other VR headsets.

And yet Microsoft added a weather (and bullshit) widget to windows in like 2020

Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software (arstechnica.com)

Since Broadcom's $61 billion acquisition of VMware closed in November 2023, Broadcom has been charging ahead with major changes to the company's personnel and products. In December, Broadcom began laying off thousands of employees and stopped selling perpetually licensed versions of VMware products, pushing its customers toward...

One of those is running the cloud or being the cloud

lud ,

Proxmox doesn't have a free tier, it is free.

You can pay for support and shit if you want.

Since you are apparently on an anti-proxmox crusade. Have you tried that iscus thing in enterprise? Like a very large scale production deployment? Since I have never heard of it, I am curious if anyone dares to use it in enterprise when people are even scared of proxmox or anything not VMware or MAYBE hyperV

lud ,

True, but it was more of a reply to this.

RIP VMware.

VMs in general

*It's often in Recents

lud ,

Most (all?) Iapps save images in /Pictures/[appname]

Photos taken with the camera are stored in a subfolder under/DCIM/ for example /DCMI/camera.

All my downloaded files end up in /Downloads/

The path to downloads is technically /storage/emulated/0/Downloads

But that doesn't really ever matter because /storage/emulated/0/ is treated as root in at least the two file explorers I have.

If I mount another storage device it will probably be mounted in some weird path, but too don't matter since file browsers will hide that.

The only time it matters for me is when using termux. The home directory has some weird ass path (/data/data/com.termux/files/home) when using termux which can make it annoying to transfer files. BUT Android storage gets mounted as ~/storage/emulated/0/. So transferring files from downloads to termux home, is as simple as cp ~/storage/emulated/0/downloads/file.txt ~/

Accessing the files from an app is very annoying and complicated, and that's if not completely restricted.

Accessing the dirs you often need is very easy

lud ,

What changed in windows 10? Mine looks the same as before.

lud ,

Yeah right‽ Why do people keep the full search box enabled? It takes up so much space. I usually switch to the search button.

I even see quite a lot of people in IT (not talking about tech or devs) that keep it enabled.

lud ,

For fuck sake Microsoft.

At least I disabled the web search in the search bar long ago. I think I disabled it because of a bug that messed up search.

lud ,

I personally don't mind Discord. I do in fact like it. (If you want to convince me otherwise, please don't)

But I really hate that OSS uses discord for their lack of documentation. I understand that documentation is hard and boring to create, but I don't want to go on some discord to ask a bunch of questions that thousands of others have before. Instead I will try and find something using search engines and I will read the open and closed issues. If I don't find anything, I give up on the software.

lud ,

Doesn't appear that you are allowed to host personal code projects though.

lud ,

They support IMAP though their bridge but you will have to be on a paid plan.

The free plan is pretty terrible anyways so if you actually want to use proton you will have to pay.

lud , (edited )

Yes and you can't run a bridge on anything

You can run the bridge on Windows, Linux and macOS.
I wish that they had an Android app but I suspect that the aggressive power management on Android might make it a lot harder to implement in a nice way.

they might discontinue it at any time and you'll become hostage.

There is absolutely no indication that that will happen. Remember that only the paid plans have IMAP and Proton is essentially held hostage by their subscribers since they are their only income source. Their community would be very angry if they dropped support.

So much for self-hosting, independence and open-source solutions.

This has nothing to do with self-hosting. You are literally paying someone for hosting your email.

I agree that the lack of normal IMAP support is annoying. But it's a side effect to their encryption which is a good thing.

And it's not like proton is alone with this problem.

Tota doesn't even seem to have a bridge app. Fastmail changes extra for IMAP.

lud ,

Lavabit probably had much higher standards than Proton

So it's all based on an assumption.

lud ,

Just use a domain then and switch whenever you feel like.

lud ,

I don't really care that much about any information like IPs, I care about the actual emails which are encrypted.

There is nothing that indicates that they will snitch since that would be terrible for everyone and also illegal for them to do.

But most importantly lavabit is an American company which is insane for if you care about privacy at all.

Proton also published a transparency report while Lavabit is really opaque.

lud ,

I hope not. Eternal life would be horrible.

lud ,

Converting offices is expensive and complicated. Zoning laws also makes it even harder.

lud ,

I'm aware

lud ,

Maybe they didn't invent it. But he wouldn't and couln't have invented it without them.

Someone would have invented it eventually though.

lud ,

Or reading this on anything except an e-reader or if someone else printed it out on a printer without blue leds first.

lud ,

D4V2 x-ray edition when?

lud , (edited )

Yes, I watched the video. Inventing stuff is obviously very expensive and I doubt anyone could have done it without being financed in some way.

Why are you so sure that the eventually hypothetical inventor wouldn't have patented it? Inventing is expensive and one would presumably want to make the millions spent on the project back and isn't your time worth anything?

I am happy that the invention wasn't delayed considering how much it has changed the world.

lud ,

I hope the EU DMA update fixes that.

It supposedly allows you to uninstall more stuff.

lud ,

The best thing about this is that this will be available in enterprise environment which obviously can't disable UAC. Disabling it is incredibly stupid on a personal machine, but doing it in an enterprise environment is a death sentence.

lud ,

It would be insane to let non admin change settings like this.

lud ,

Yeah, that could be neat as long as they still add a recovery key to the AD or somewhere else. A problem with that is that the users will likely choose shit passwords. That could be mitigated with password rules but still

I suspect Microsoft wants you to use TMP or physical keys instead of passwords.

lud , (edited )

I am sure OP knows what logging in means...

Maybe they aren't just that paranoid.

That must be exhausting.

lud ,

I don't know IPA but I prefer which ever corresponds to Blåhaj. Anything else is stupid.

lud ,

Blähaj doesn't make any sense.

lud ,

Regardless, Baltic Sea access isn't super great when you're entirely choked out by Denmark

Not only Denmark. Norway, Sweden and probably Germany could also shut down access if they wanted.

Norway and Germany couldn't do it very well alone though.

lud ,

If you ever got hit with a DDoS while on the free tier they'd just disconnect you.

I can't find anything that supports that statement. What is your source?

From what I understand you can do a bunch of things when under attack like requiring captchas.

lud ,

The cutoff point depends on the load on their free tier network, which is shared by all freeloaders. Could be someone else under attack and you'd still get cut off.

Again, do you have a source for that?

All the information I can find points to the ddos protection being essentially the same regardless of price plan. The paid plans just get some more features. Like extra firewall stuff.

lud ,

Bat scripts should die. Switch to PowerShell instead.

lud ,

Mammograms are one of the few things in my country that's completely free. You need to pay at least a little for almost all other healthcare.

lud ,

It sucks because it's sometimes (but not very often) useful but it's not like they are under any obligation to support it or are getting any money from doing it.

lud ,

I dunno, but I suspect that they aren't using Google's cache if that's the case.

My guess is that the site uses its own scrapper that acts like a search engine and because websites want to be seen to search engines they allow them to see everything. This is just my guess, so it might very well be completely wrong.

lud ,

How so?

lud ,

Even better: let the FBI patch yo shit for you.

lud ,

Don't you have a local one where you live?
Here, we have two good large (non English) comparison sites that everyone knows about.

lud ,

I thought those existed everywhere.

The more you know.

lud ,

Finally I understand what antifa means.

I am not American and have been out of the loop for years now.

lud ,

A lot of stuff but mostly software these days.
