Linux Directory Structure - FHS
  • I like partitions to be at the root of my file system. And dedicate each one to a specific use. And even dedicate a separate hard drive for my personal files. When in need of transfer or repairs just move this drive to another PC and carry on the work while the former PC gets repaired or nuked.

    Linux Directory Structure - FHS
  • This is one of my biggest gripes stopping me from switching to Linux. I just can't give-up windows' partitions. I find Unix/Linux file system to be incompatible with how I like storing my files.

    Another map showing the true size of Africa
  • I mean, I am fucking done with maps portraying Europe as a continent. It is called Eurasia, you just like feeling extra special but geographically you are not 🤪

    What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it?
  • Statcounter's graph of iOS market share points to more than half 56% on Norway, so I bet if there is a need for replacing windows in Norway they will swing to apple instead of Linux.

    Autodesk is a monopoly! We need FOSS for AutoCAD desperately
  • We probably don't use it for the same work. But I can do way way more work using other software than dancing around the interface clicking a bizzillion buttons before achieving anything. I need realtime dynamic editing and FreeCAD can't do that.

    Autodesk is a monopoly! We need FOSS for AutoCAD desperately
  • Freecad is a real no go. Tried it and forced to do something with it. The amount of bugs. And really basic bugs makes using it for professional work a non starter. It basically is a collection of amateur software stitched together with no single part having reached maturity.

    Freecad was built on top of a giant library called opencascade. Which is in part the reason why we can't have dynamic or real time modeling. Everything takes triple the interactions to make than in its commercial counterparts.

    Add to that the lack of vision and the different fields of work of the contributors makes its development spread all over the place. Unlike blender, it doesn't seem like FreeCAD will achieve a breakthrough milestone.

    Forgot to pay my domain for a year and now I have to spend £2200 ($3000) if I want to get it back
  • It is either an extortion from your domain registrar or sometimes opportunistic domain squatters taking over your domain for a year or two. Check for how long it was registered a put a reminder to get it back

    Firefox added ad tracking and has already turned it on without asking you
  • Oh shit. Now that I have checked, it was turned on by default on mine too.

    What's wrong with you mozilla ?? Firefox was supposed to be the alternative

    Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app
  • You are telling me this has been going on for almost a decade now, and no one ever noticed ?

    So we trust open source apps under the premise that if malicious code gets added to the code, at least one person will notice ? Here it shows that years pass before anyone notices and millions of people's communications could have been compromised by the world's most trusted messaging app.

    I don't know which app to trust after this, if any?

  • Any news on why this is happening with this instance ? it might be harder to check if upvotes and downvotes federate to the outside lemmyverse .

    other instances seem to federate better.

    Don't the instance owners use it ?

    Have you ever been scared or hesitant about reporting flaws or bugs to a community with a strong staunch fanbase ??

    Obviously there are different ways of reporting and starting discussions, but I brought up the courage to report a flaw on a subreddit (not to be named) that I knew is very sensitive to criticisme, and I was flooded with downvotes and even was subject to gaslighting, so I gave up on that software and became even more hesitant about reporting problems on other FOSS communities .

    Is this mindset very prevalent among all open source communities? have you faced something similar ?
