2025 will truly be the year of the Linux desktop! I am so happy about this information!

Oh, just ask an Arch user about Manjaro.

From the first link, sounds like what the other reply said - vitamin D is important (but can be gotten from other sources), and I failed to mention it. Sorry. That said, it also recommends wearing a hat, and using sunscreen when outside for longer periods of time.

I unfortunately can’t read the second link without agreeing for them to sell my data, so that’s a nope.

True, I shouldn’t have skipped over that, my bad

Pretty sure sun isn’t good for the skin, sun exposure without adequate protection just increases cancer risk, especially sunburns. It is good for mental health though, but you should still avoid exposing uncovered skin without sunscreen - it’s an unfortunate balance where you might have to harm your body to a limited degree because our brains are wired to enjoy it.

Yup 😉

It’s a unit that’s been adopted by many technical mods, and conveniently sidesteps the issue of what the actual unit is by using the bucket as a reference. After all, in the wacky world of computer game, the actual measure doesn’t matter, so long as it’s consistent.

As a tech mod player, they hold exactly 1000mB of water

To think some people would instead ridicule others when you can have so much fun together…

The 8 dependencies must be an optional dependency for some other package you already have installed. That said, that kind of stuff is the main reason I want to try NixOS - any time I install something, configure something, etc. I’m risking forgetting about it and getting tripped up over it down the line, with no good way to check.

When you pour a liquid, some bubbles form in it. In case of whey, those bubbles probably also stay coherent for a while longer.

Everyone being equally miserable could be preferable to some people being happy, since it gives everybody equal reasons to work towards improving the situation… Except, of course, the monkey paw would ensure that wouldn’t pan out

Right, so you consider calculators to be computers too? And I don’t mean the beefy scientific calculators, just simple ones with basic operations.

I mean, couldn’t an addon just read the password you put into a login field, or send in a request, and send it off to their servers?

Man, and here I put too much effort writing a reply to a troll 😔

Does windows come preinstalled and preconfigured with more potentially vulnerable software on open ports?

I personally don’t value an antivirus that much, since it can only protect you from known threats, and even then, it only matters when you’re already getting compromised - but fair point for Windows, I suspect most distros come without antivirus preinstalled and preconfigured.

A firewall, on the other hand, only has value if you already have insecure services listening on your system - and I’m pretty sure on Windows those services aren’t gonna be blocked by the default settings. All that said though… Most Linux distros come with a firewall, something like iptables or firewalld, though not sure which ones would have it preconfigured for blocking connections by default.

So while I would dispute both of those points as not being that notable, I feel like other arguments in favor of Linux still stand, like reduced surface area, simpler kernel code, open and auditable source.

One big issue with Linux security for consumers (which I have to assume is what you’re talking about, since on the server side a sysadmin will want to configure any antivirus and firewall anyways) could be that different distributions will have different configurations - both for security and for preference-based things like desktop environments. This does unfortunately mean that users could find themselves installing less secure distros without realizing it, choosing them for their looks/usage patterns.

Question, how is Linux more insecure out of the box?

Mind you, emoji were created in Japan, so a lot of the original ones can be weird to us due to cultural differences.

A beautiful B movie?

Hold up, how is proton leveraging open source to avoid dev costs? Are you referring to steam using and contributing to existing projects instead of reinventing the wheel? Or to game developers that use it as a reason for not making native Linux versions, which wouldn’t be Valve’s workforce in the first place?

I can see how the things Valve does contribute to their business model - steam input giving their controller compatibility with games, proton letting them launch a Linux-based handheld, and the new recording feature probably there for the steam deck… But the thing is, Valve is still providing all those things to customers for no extra charge, and they keep adding new stuff.

Is it AI generated? I don’t know the brand and labels so maybe I’m missing something, but it just looks like a regular edit?
