Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.

That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.

Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?

For me in particular I’m a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.

My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It’s still not enough

Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?

You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”

It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.

I mean… It probably is. It’s accessing the copyrighted content outside of the terms of the license provided by the copyright owner.

But that shows more how broken the copyright system is than anything when piracy has such a low bar.

Fundamentally what YouTube is doing is an unprofitable model. Google bought them when they were in their “we can solve internet unprofitability with scale and more efficient data centres!” phase, but that has never really gone as planned for YouTube.

For a while I was very hopeful that YouTube Premium would solve that, but as they started removing features and making it an overall worse experience it became no longer worth the money. I don’t have an answer to this. If I did I could probably make a lot of money on that answer. What I do know, however, is that Google’s answer isn’t the right one.

I believe this is related to that, yeah.

I wonder how quickly Apple would come up with new bullshit if apps started providing an interstitial page with a breakdown.

Membership (goes to creator): $4.75
Patreon fee: $0.25
Fee for using iOS (goes to Apple): $1.50
--
Total: $6.50

Which is kinda ridiculous since Apple’s practices are what Google does but worse.

On Android you can distribute your app through the Play Store without being forced to use Google’s in-app purchases. For example: Patreon.

You’re not wrong about Google Play, but Apple’s behaviour is objectively worse.

I believe the common terms now are “domme” and “sub”

It is theoretically automatable, but on bare metal it requires having hardware that’s not normally just sitting in every data centre, so it would still require someone to go and plug something into each machine.

On VMs it’s more feasible, but on those VMs most people are probably just mounting the disk images and deleting the bad file to begin with.

I know at least of Freexian. But also, Ubuntu tends to cover the “Like Debian, but with enterprise support” niche.

What about ed?

They don’t call it a viitor or an emacsitor. It’s an EDitor!

The packages in most distros will also restart the server for you. Any existing SSH sessions will technically be running in vulnerable versions, but if I’m understanding the vulnerability correctly this isn’t a problem, as they won’t be trying to authenticate a user.

If you want to be sure, you can manually restart the ssh server yourself. On most distros sudo systemctl restart sshd should do it.
