Anything is better than nothing. This is true. But that doesn't mean you aren't wasting your time on something that does the bare minimum.

I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don't know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn't get the same level of testing as Linux.

I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

This thread is a good example of just how circlejerky and bubble like lemmy has become.

You are correct. Outside of the hard-core users and tech nerds, Ubuntu is massively popular. But you listen to this community, and you'd think the opposite.

This is a good example of how most of the performance improvements during a rewrite into a new language come from the learnings and new codebase, over the languages strengths.

Sounds like NoA is getting ahead of unionization efforts to outsource QA. It's a lose lose situation!

Lol, no, it isn't. Anyone can set up an apt repository and ask you to use it. Many providers do.. You might mean the walled garden of an official singular apt repository is safe.

🤷‍♀️ the snap works absolutely fine with no issues, the flatpak doesn't exist and the apt is two years out of date.

I'm not on the outrage boat myself tho

I sometimes use a snap

yes, if you want a controller that will never exhibit drift you have to find one that specifically markets itself as using hall-effect joystick assemblies. all other controllers will (eventually) exhibit stick drift.

They aren't spending the money to preserve film either. The best case is storing the film in salt mines, and that only slows the degradation. Film isn't being digitally scanned unless there's a uhd release to profit from it, and every week that it isn't scanned, it degrades a little more
