Because of the risk of accidentally wiping the main drive if you’re just copy pasting stuff

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it pointless to buy the Affinity Suite and try get it running on Linux?4·4 months agoI hate that kind of instructions “just blindly pipe curl to bash and hope it’s not malware “
It would be the exact opposite if it wasn’t using docker, it requires specific minor versions of multiple software, people on Debian would always get versions too old while people on arch too new
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•NewPipe on Linux, Using Android_translation_layer1·6 months agoElectron apps suck and should die but for a YouTube player it seems appropriate
not a technical but you can’t just do full disk encryption and put the password manually at every single boot?
It seems very unlikely that a reputable hosting company would snoop even in that case
If we’re talking about 3 letter agencies, for the dedicated servers they’ll directly seize the disks…
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•RustDesk: I Found This Open-Source TeamViewer Alternative Impressive!1·8 months agoYay everything is back
I wanted it to control the computers via Intel amt, but the official tools sucked. Went to download and they were removed: of course he had to be fired after multiple decades to make the shareholders happy
From that day i am boycotting Intel, you have customers that paid a premium for fucking Intel vpro and then you fire the guy who in his free time made an invaluable tool that increased your corporate sales???
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•RustDesk: I Found This Open-Source TeamViewer Alternative Impressive!1·8 months agoI was searching for a binary 6 months ago and they were all removed. The website is still offline
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•RustDesk: I Found This Open-Source TeamViewer Alternative Impressive!2·8 months agoMeshcentral is discontinued because it was based on Intel ME (official program completely sucks) and when the dev was fired by Intel, he obviously lost any interest in the thing. All downloads even removed, only the source is available
The main benefit of web3 “games” is that a dev can make millions from something with PS2 graphics, recycled assets and zero innovation
I watched the GitHub and it looks like it’s deepin os with a custom settings app and a MacOS style dock.
At that point just install deepin os and hope they don’t lie about user privacy (being owned by a Chinese for-profit doesn’t help)
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•How do I uninstall my browser along with all its data?7·8 months agoChrome definitely leaves permanent traces on windows when you uninstall it
And on MacOS there isn’t an uninstaller too, you just send the app to the trash, but all the preferences and leftovers keep littering the drive
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•anyone who uses Linux on apple silicon or another arm device21·8 months agomain issue with apple stuff is the ridiculous pricing for memory.
$500 to add just 8gb of ram and 128gb of SSD? What’s that, the year 2012?
It’s 2024 and it’s ridiculous that a $1500 laptop comes with the same amount of memory of a $300 Motorola smartphone
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•“Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update447·9 months agoIf it’s a Linux problem why Microsoft has to patch it?
It’s like if someone gives you a ride to the hospital and the doctor treats him instead of you
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•“Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update3·9 months agoAnd probably disable quick boot as I’m guessing the kernel is going to get pissed when you suddenly switch between virtualization and native
Windows can’t boot from usb
Ugly workaround: boot Linux then boot windows in a vm doing drive pass through
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024...8·10 months agoYes but then just spam the documents folder like anyone else, don’t hoard the home root for no reason except that is a lazy cross platform port
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024...37·10 months ago100% agree and I also despise devs who do this on windows, instead of using %appdata% they’re using c:\users\username\.myappisimportantandtotallydeservesthisdir
I especially hate how it ruins the
df -h
command. Install a dozen snaps and it becomes unreadable
For a vim user it’s going to cause panic.
Copy and paste suddenly become illogical keybindings like ctrl+c and ctrl+v
For closing the program you have to press a very weird X instead of the much more natural :wq
And so on
All browsers on iOS are Safari in disguise
