Exactly this, the community has proven it will put the effort to make it work, and a lot of things that don’t still are because the companies resist it intentionally

Except a lot of anti cheat now supports Linux. Destiny 2 doesn’t run on Linux only because Bungie refuses to allow it, their AC supports Linux just fine now
Funnily enough, I’ve had almost this exact same thing happen… On Windows. More than once. Spending days getting it to run hardly at all and weeks trying to figure out how to make it run well. On modern hardware, with both old and new games alike.
I’ve not had that much trouble yet with Linux gaming, with only a few exceptions where I needed to tweak a couple things stuff has pretty much just worked.

I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era
That’s fair
It’s still a rather large pool to crack through even without adding more than the 1000 most common words, extra digits, minimal character substitution, capitalization tweaks, etc
Okay, that’s fair… Not sure how I missed that context but that’s totally on me
That’s only really true if you’re going to be storing the password in a secure vault after randomly generating it; otherwise, it’s terrible because 1) nobody will be able to remember it so they’ll be writing it down, and 2) it’ll be such a pain to type that people will find ways to circumvent it at every possible turn
Pass phrases, even when taken with the idea that it’s a limited character set that follows a semi predictable flow, if you look at it in terms of the number of words possible it actually is decently secure, especially if the words used are random and not meaningful to the user. Even limiting yourself to the 1000 most common words in the English language and using 4 words, that’s one trillion possible combinations without even accounting for modifying capitalisation, adding a symbol or three, including a short number at the end…
And even with that base set, even if a computer could theoretically try all trillion possibilities quickly, it’ll make a ton of noise, get throttled, and likely lock the account out long before it has a chance to try even the tiniest fraction of them
Your way is theoretically more secure, but practically only works for machines or with secure password storage. If it’s something a human needs to remember and type themselves, phrases of random words is much more viable and much more likely to be used in a secure fashion.
Only when you actually want it to reboot on its own
When you don’t want that, need it to wait for some reason, that’s when it remembers how to reboot on its own
They do make some sense if you consider the US’s puritanical roots where, in essence, suffering is considered good and moral, or at least leisure and enjoyment are considered hedonistic and immortal.
Also, that for whatever reason everything is short term thinking: is this quarter better than last quarter? If not, your business is failing. Is this quarter enough better than last quarter? Business is failing.
From a business perspective, it makes no sense, but businesses don’t make decisions. People do. And those people frequently do not stick around to see the fallout from those decisions, they just pump up the business’ bottom line long enough for the stocks to rise, sell out, then bail out taking a generous severance before the company crashes and burns.
And nobody is really stopping it because it’s so lucrative at the individual level that the individuals that might be able to change it are profiting from it.
And lack of regulation is what permits it to continue.
I actually do have separate sick leave, but plenty of times at other jobs have had combined PTO, which basically means I’m burning my potential vacation by being sick.
Other times, I’ve not even had sick leave at all, got fired once for taking one day off with explosive diarrhea because I couldn’t afford to see a doctor to get a note on minimum wage.
Some companies are better. Some states have actually somewhat decent protections. Lots of others are complete garbage.
So yeah… A lot of us are jealous of what Europeans have, but not enough so to organize and demand better of our employers and our government
Most people over school age in the US do not get a summer vacation. Most are lucky if they have enough vacation hours to rub together to cover a random illness so they don’t have to work while barely able to function for being too sick.
And I’m not even close to joking or exaggerating.
It’s fucking bad here. We’re horribly jealous.
I’m extremely fortunate for having 5 weeks of vacation per year, and half of that is only because of working extra on the weekends to bank extra time. And good luck getting approval to take more than about a week of it at a time.
Okay, this is only encouraging me to finally crack open that book, it’s been sitting on my shelf for too long apparently
Unless I’m missing something, Plasma is the KDE desktop, there isn’t a separate desktop environment just called KDE… In fact, it’s full name is KDE Plasma, it’s just frequently shortened to either KDE or Plasma
No, because they’re not apt packages. You can, however, flatpak update
them, and you don’t even need sudo since they’re installed in the user context rather than system.
I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that Flatpak aren’t centrally managed…
Sure, but does that also cover accusing someone of inserting their politics into things when they suggest a change? Especially one that has nothing to do with politics at all?
And I don’t care, so whatever
I mean, you should be careful with destructive changes and commands whether the interface names can change or not… And since they won’t change outside of a reboot, I’ve yet to run into a scenario where that becomes a problem as I’m looking at and making sure I’m talking to the correct device before starting anyway
For work. And that’s only until I can get my workflow converted fully
