All right, OP’s in the club!

That firmware part isn’t new. Back in the day when we were dual-booting Linux on PowerPC Macs, macOS was still needed for firmware updates.
tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.
Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.
Validrive is a new tool that’s quite good at detecting fakes.
I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.
A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.
Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.
Instead of sharing the image, why not share the scripts or steps used to make it? Other people raised some fine points, but for me, my German is very poor.
It’s lined up with the main portion of the keyboard. Ergonomically, it makes perfect sense, even if it looks wrong.
I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.
Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.
How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?
Though FireWire wiped the floor with USB 1.1, FireWire 800 outperformed USB 2.0 (especially in S3200 mode), and there were even plans to use fiber to run at speeds USB wouldn’t match until USB 3.2 Gen2. Sadly, the technology was ultimately doomed due to the higher costs of implementation. At first, a FireWire controller was more expensive than a USB controller, though prices would eventually drop. That’s to say nothing of Apple, Sony, and Panasonic initially wanting a $0.25 royalty per port, which would quickly add up for manufacturers.
Steve Jobs officially declared FireWire dead in 2008. Still, development continued into 2013, and all the major operating systems still support FireWire peripherals to this day — even Apple Silicon Macs, via a Thunderbolt adapter. (However, Microsoft removed FireWire networking starting in Windows vista.)
I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.
Sounds like a great excuse to fork the project and start its own community. Of course, keep integrating upstream fixes, but maybe make the logo a trans pride flag.
I’m not sure if this is legally binding, but it’s a way to prove that someone said “I signed this document and it has not been modified.” While S/MIME certificates are most commonly used for this purpose, getting one (especially for free) is nearly impossible. Signing with a GPG key is just using another tool, one whose ecosystem doesn’t require CA-sanctioned trust; the reader decides which keys are trusted and verified.
Thanks for the warning. I’ll keep my eyes open. Perhaps it’s time to start distro-hopping.
I use the Windows version of Scrivener 3 on Linux. It works almost perfectly. Sometimes it’ll freeze after opening a file, but force-quit and restart the app, and it’s fine.
Simple. Your users don’t care if it’s insecure. They click on fake password reset emails. You’re the bad guy here. They still haven’t forgiven you for requiring them to enter numbers when they want to log in.
I don’t know, I had some good tweets back on SpaceKaren.social.
Switching from Word to LibreOffice Writer was hard. Sure, I figured out documents on my own, but it still won’t print envelopes correctly (the printer doesn’t respect the margins and orientation compared to my Windows install).
I assume changing platforms and apps is harder when you use your computer to make money. I feel for the OP in the screenshot. Assuming his hardware is compatible, I’m sure he could take some time to learn a FOSS alternative but it’d be a while until he was proficient enough to make a living. The commenter was dickish but correct. Still, let’s not assume switching apps is as easy as switching gas stations.
