Wow, this is brilliant! Now all I need is proper mouse gestures support and I can migrate full-time!

Do you mean any example of multiculturalism done right? Or specifically in “our world” setting?

If it’s the first one, then “The Wheel of Time” by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson (the latter finished the series’ last couple of books after Jordan’s death) and Brandon Sanderson’s “Stormlight Archives”.

In Jordan’s books you can see a lot of “proxy cultures”, but they’re still fairly unique and, most importantly, done right.

Sanderson’s setting is “way out there”, very unique and very different (or maybe I’m an uncultured swine and someone with a better understanding of cultural diversity on Earth would disagree).

Wait, how do you turn them on?

Yeah, I guess I sound a bit aggressive. That wasn’t the intention. I just get an allergic reaction when I see the “Linux is just better than Windows now!” stuff. It is - in some scenarios. In others it’s worse. Someone who wants to do IT (and it kinda’ sounds like OP’s heading there) needs to understand that.

It’s honestly extremely surprising to me that there aren’t still any proper FOSS solutions that handle this. Is it because it’s super difficult to do? I’ve no idea, but it’s definitely something that’s preventing a lot of businesses to switch over.

Just FYI - SCCM is not the Autopilot equivalent, it’s the Intune equivalent. Intune’s Autopilot is, kind of, what Task Sequence is in SCCM.

As far as “life support” goes - it’s full featured. Security updates are still coming in, not much else they can add feature-wise in there.

As for the cloud - everything has its uses. Cloud is great if you don’t want to deal with all the bare-metal stuff. It allows one person to do the work of four, with the trade-off being that you lose some of the fine-tuning, control, or optimisation. As the saying goes: “the ‘s’ in 'Intune” stands for ‘speed’".

Don’t fuck the cloud. Just use it when it’s better than on-prem.

My favourite is that you cannot wear clothes made from more than one kind of thread.

Which means, in essence, that in the XXI c., literally everybody, including priests, is a sinner, and goes to hell, because everything is a blend these days.

I love Linux. I’m running Linux and love the experience.

But…

i7-4970 i7-4790 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task for em

What in the world are you talking about, man??

Even ignoring the silliness of the “bloat” - i7-4790 eats Win10 alive and asks for seconds.

I stated that as long as they dont know how to work with wine/lutris or know any specific linux packages that run windows games on linux they should not be able to play in the middle of lessons

So… No, you didn’t stop them from doing that. All it takes for them to get back to playing games is to google “linux roblox how to” and 20 minutes later they’re good to go. Windows has AppLocker, and GPO to prevent running unwanted software - have you researched alternatives for Linux?

does this mean linux now is ready for the education sector?

Well, depends on scale. The setup you did is fine for, what, a single classroom? Two classrooms? It’s completely unusable for a larger school - for that you need an MDM solution, ideally with some form of IAM. In the Windows world that’s SCCM/Intune with AD/EID (local/cloud). Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s only bare-bones equivalents in the Linux world for that, which would be the bigger a problem the larger a school you’d be dealing with.

the hairs prickling up on her legs

Some incel somewhere: “WTF IS THIS WOKE BULLSHIT!?!?!?!”

I mean, it’s just a matter of time before it starts trickling down, right?

Right??

I didn’t notice any slowness in connection after sleep/suspend, but I can’t say I was overly paying attention.

How about this - I configured Kate to have full Markdown support, with preview.

There was an update today. The Document Preview plugin got disabled and once I enabled it, it’s no longer able to display Markdown preview.

That’s what I call “unstable”. Shit randomly breaking for no reason at all. And I know it’s probably SOME dependency SOMEWHERE that got updated which broke a DIFFERENT dependency, but that’s kind of my point - things like this just don’t happen on Windows (since around Win10).

Do you get a window?

I run games in full screen mode, so maybe it would work. Seems like Wayland has Ctrl+Meta+Esc as the equivalent of xkill. I’ll try this if it happens again.

To me “stable” means: “fire and forget”. Maybe a reboot needed every couple of months because something broke, or having to kill a hung process. That’s my experience with Windows nowadays.

I’m on Garuda Linux, which is based on Arch Zen, and every now and again something random breaks. Network connection doesn’t stand up after sleep. Steam randomly breaks. Signal refuses to connect. One monitor’s brightness doesn’t go back to default value after the OS dimmed it due to inactivity. Uninstalled application still shows up in Application Launcher’s search results, even though I deleted it from the KDE Menu Editor.

Lots and lots of little things like that.

Steam does something weird when running a Windows game via Proton. I haven’t figured out which task to kill to kill a game it’s running.

More stable

Wellllll, I wouldn’t go that far.

I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.

Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it’s running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.

Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.

I mean, he always calls trade deficit a “subsidy”, and has since 2016. I honestly don’t think he understand what that concept means, he’s not that subtle with manipulation.

He doesn’t understand what “trade deficit” means.

Most people also forget about another element in this puzzle.

Usually what happens is, you buy goods in bulk, and plan for that in advance. Say, you’ve planned a shipment of 1 million dollars worth of telescopes, $800 each. But now with the tariffs hit you can afford fewer telescopes per 1 million dollars. Which mans that - because you’re now ordering them at $1k - you can afford 250 fewer telescopes which rises the price per telescope due to a smaller order. So now you’re not paying 1.25 on the dollar from 800, but rather from 1k! Which makes you afford fewer, which rises the price, etc., etc., etc.

GamersNexus has a great documentary on this shit show of a situation, I do recommend giving it a watch. :) It’s oh so optimistically titled The Death of Affordable Computing.

Oh look “orcs” the dehumanising Banderite fascist scumbag lingo

Umm… You do realise that they used it themselves? And not just during the war, but in The Last Reingbearer too?

Sure you’re not some filthy ukronazi

It’s so uplifting to see how you shy away from dehumanising, fascist, scumbag lingo, and talk about all other humans with respect! :*

USSR (…) quit living in the past and bringing that up.

I’m talking about 2005.

I mean, I’m at least assuming this bit was about me mentioning Putin’s dream of restoring “russia to greatness”. But I’m not sure, because you started spitting on your keyboard and wrote some bullshit.

You can volunteer, wear your swastika and wolfsangel

You first. Oh look! And they’re actually working on making it legal!

Now piss off and go cry somewhere else or do I need to block you?

Mate, 50% of the two of us are crying, and it’s not me. I’m just laughing at you gulping down the propaganda so hard you’d put Sasha Grey to shame! :D
