Hello there!
I’m also @[email protected] , and I have a website at https://www.savagewolf.org/ .
He/They
If that’s the case, throwing more people, especially juniors, into the team won’t make a difference.
By the way, having a team full of people that “don’t want to work” is a sign that they lack trust in the project or leadership. Maybe management should work on that rather than spouting right wing linkedinisms. :P
Most actual Linux code changes come from large companies implementing or improving drivers for their own hardware.
The Linux foundation mostly manages the Linux “brand”. That is, all the logistics and infrastructure required to run a huge project with many stakeholders.
If you’re missing deadlines and getting customer complaints because of a new hire, that’s a failure in management, imo.
(Of course, that’s not saying management will take responsibility)
Doing a very quick search on this and it looks like the firmware updater uses webbluetooth. This knife has bluetooth hardware in it.
Ehhh… Reads like the standard “we’re happy with you tweaking it, but don’t want to be liable for you breaking it.”
If you try to sue them, they can point to this section of their docs and say you didn’t follow their recommendations.
I thought we weren’t supposed to be using Mint anyways because it uses Systemd? /s
Emacs.
With all the vimmery going around nowadays though, I feel like I’m on the losing team. ;_;
Looks like a scam to me. It can do all these tests to find security issues, but instead of telling you how to fix things (or do it itself) it has you input it to an AI?
Yeah, GNU IMP. Recognisable and easy to understand for those familiar with the old name.
WLBR just seems like people being clever for clevers sake.
Especially with the newer ROCm 7.2.x releases improving hardware support and other improvements. Especially with the rate of improvements to ROCm recently, it’s unfortunate to see ROCm 7.1 shipped in the Ubuntu 26.04 archive.
Improvements!
But yeah, 3 months out of date for software that isn’t security critical is fine. Probably just hit the feature freeze at a bad time. It still presumably works well enough for most people.
I’d like to suggest Linux Mint: It allows you to use guides and software written for Ubuntu but disables all the scummy stuff.
24.04 to 26.04 is a big version jump and sadly they can’t check every combination of hardware and software. Some people don’t go through the upgrade process and just back up their user data and reinstall when they want to upgrade to a new major release. In my experience, the automatic upgrader is usually fine but occasionally requires me to tweak something on my system.
Missing Nvidia drivers
Ubuntu has a “driver manager” software in the settings which should allow you to install recommended drivers.
Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN
What version are you using and how did you install it? You might be using an older version of their app and the issues are fixed in the latest versions. If you really can’t get their app to work, you can go to https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads#openvpn-configuration-files and download an OpenVPN file which you can import in your network settings. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as their app, but it still allows you to VPN your traffic.
My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(
I mean, isn’t Windows notorious for breaking things after an update as well? :P Computers in general are brittle and don’t handle change well.
NixOS would beg to differ. :P
How much have you already got working? This seems like a huge project, especially just for one person.
What is your policy on AI generated content as part of the development? Both for art and code? No need to destroy the real environment for a virtual one, and AI code in a secure environment is a no-no for me.
I’d also like to advise caution about having every change put to a community vote. Only the most enfranchised players will actually get involved in the process, and may make changes that hurt newer players. Players tend also to be really bad at identifying solutions to problems in general.
Valve literally released hardware and said “hey, competitors, feel free to add your own stores and even OS”. None of their competitors even bothered to try.
Valve doesn’t need to resort to underhanded tactics to secure their monopoly like other monopolies. They just know that they provide a good service.
Lift up your mouse. What is an LED but a spicy candle?
I’d recommend using an atomic distro. Then if you get shot to pieces you can roll back to a good state.
Not paying open source devs or firefighters is taking advantage of their enthusiasm.
This is perhaps a controversial statement from someone who is fed up with all this age verification stuff, but having the user age be set on account creation (without providing ID or anything dumb like that) doesn’t seem that bad.
It just feels like a way to standardise parental controls. Instead of having to roll their own age verification stuff, software like Discord can rely on the UserAccountStorage value.
If it were possible to plug into a browser in a standard, privacy conscious way, it also reduces the need for third party parental control browser extensions, which I imagine can be a bit sketchy.
OSes collect and expose language and locale information anyway. What harm is age bands in addition to that?
Steam Controller One.
Still have no idea why Microsoft did that.
