Doing that with GNU or WINE will use your entire memory

negatives cancel out, so that means “body is in danger”

Text from OCR is one kind of match. Recall also runs visual comparisons with the image tokens stored.

It turns out that startup funding for Signal was from a US Government tied entity. Some people won’t like that. Here’s an interesting article: Signal Facing Collapse After CIA Cuts Funding

Someone already commented on the “nothing-burger” this article and line of reasoning actually is, so I won’t repeat it here.

$19m / 50 = $380,000 per year per employee!!!

This $19M figure includes more things. That’s why a blog post shouldn’t be read as an accounting report. Report summaries with salary figures are available btw, one search away.

The infrastructure was not designed to minimize the cost of operations, it was designed for another purpose, data collection by third parties:

The quoted text is not evidence for this. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Elon Musk also promotes Signal:

He promotes Linux too. Also, I bet he drinks water.

I see some valid concerns / questions, but it’s immersed in a muddy water of arguments that is hard to disentangle.

I think it’s hit or miss. I’ve been having this annoying bug since I switched to Plasma 6 + Wayland and I have no idea whether it’ll be solved any time soon.

Ah - that’s all I had to do to solve it on Ubuntu server 22.04. Maybe desktop is different, maybe 24.04 is different. You can try removing additional packages or following other instructions. I won’t post any links here, as I see different possible solutions and haven’t tried any other than the one above. Let us know what works.

sudo apt remove ubuntu-advantage-tools

Just fzf + the same version control I use for my dotfiles. I have no interest in mixing machine histories like atuin offers, so that makes sense to me.

${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash is fairly common and afaik the default in Gnome and KDE

FreeDesktop.org trash spec

It was really much better than fb and other platforms, really easy to group and filter content on it.

I just hated their forced integration with YouTube comments section which only served to artificially pump up the number of G+ users. Great platform, bad management decisions.

if you order elon musk from wish, you get something better

The thing is, without a unified GUI it’s impossible to get an answer to “how to X on Linux” that doesn’t involve the CLI (and that’ll work for everyone). Even the ones that do are often distro-dependent.

People can still get things done by searching for “how to X on <distro> using the GUI”.

With the amount of fuck-ups from Microsoft, this might not be necessary, but:

The average user doesn’t want to install the operating system or doesn’t care about it as long as they can do their things, and those who care can easily do so today. Thus, IMO, advertising to the end user is a waste of resources.

Focus on permeating it in governments, institutions, and OEMs to increase market share and break the “Linux is complicated / incompatible / for developers” stigma, then organic adoption out of these environments will grow - at least among people who can actually use it with the supported software.

thanks for the red circles

I would. It’ll rule out if you need to do anything or just wait for your account to be a bit older.

A while ago I created an account with a Simple Login email and had a similar problem. In my case I just wanted to check an authentication via GitHub I had set up was working properly and couldn’t do it because they weren’t accepting the aliased email address. I reached out to support, but they basically told me to use a regular email address.

…and breaks it on privacy-preserving browsers
