I like ext4 because it’s easy. If anything breaks, ANY live USB can fix it. I use fat32 for my removeable drives, because anything can read it. I don’t use journalling for anything manually, but I imagine it’s useful when my disk crashes because I let my laptop die

ah. I’ve been doing linux things, but maybe i’ll try out gridchat next time i’m on 9front

Are you on oftc?

Depends on the tech job. A lot of corporate IT support jobs care a lot more about troubleshooting windows because that’s what the employees use

It will never matter what your login shell, unless you have bash specific scripts in your login. chsh -s /bin/fish $(whoami) is fine.

That looks awesome! Having used fvwm, I’m a fan of the scrollable desktop

Then I won’t be suing for copyright infringement

I’m fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho

It’s useful as it makes it harder for AI to use it. Derivates can still reach out to ask to be allowed to sell it

also great for old windows disk recover. Testdisk is awesome

But if it was illegal to research 99% of your current field even if the information existed you may feel differently

Especially because people who want to pirate games for playing have no qualms. Right now the restriction is specificall on people who want to research legally

Depends on what I’m doing. For most of my use cases, not really. For universal paperclips, I worry it’ll melt

My t430 is still going, but my x201 is in better shape.

Especially just getting into linux. Ext4 works well enough, when you learn enough to care about what it doesn’t do well try something then

it’s like you’ve never heard of roommates. If you get a third job and find a couple people, i’m sure you could afford to rent a shed

Capitalism creates monopoly. The consumer’s needs can be manufactured. In a society organized around capital shareholder needs are paramount.

Very much a strawman argument. China can offer cheap electric cars because they aren’t paying american car company CEOs. Also, your argument supposes that American manufacturers aren’t supporting IDF…

lol

Voting with your dollar is a myth (it’s a myth that workers have any vote, not that the dollar controls the imperial core). China offering a viable alternative to not being able to afford cars because companies have arbitrarily inflated prices is great. Arbitrarily spending a lot more money that will mostly go to shareholders in the US is not going to help the worker
