yeahs systemd I know yada yada :)

But working with embedded stuff, sometimes MCU with like 8MB embedded flash, have a 512k uboot, 1.5MB kernel, you are left with 6MB of flash for the whole application and lib, and busybox is a savior here!

I had a Samsung colour laser printer, they provided driver for linux, I installed them, everything works, full support for settings etc

The biggest problem they have I think is that it’s all bots, everywhere

dunno, for 16 months now, the only time I went there was after a google search and the answer was in a reddit thread… There is 15+ years of answers to various obscur topics and all, “unfortunately”

on most new laptops, you cannot remove the battery that easily, you have to disassemble the back cover ☹️

Omg I forgot Corel Linux ! I installed it 25 years ago, wow!

it will be a Weyland-Yutani corp

my 5680 has absolutely nothing. Checking online I found that the right one is a usb-c 3.2 and the 2 left ones are TB4. IIRC they all support DisplayPort and all support being used as the power input (165W charger), not sure for PD and fast charging a cell/tablet…

True, my latest Dell laptop has 3 “usb-c shaped ports”, there is 0 symbol anywhere close to them or the underside cover, you’re on your own as to what it supports, you have to find the doc online somewhere I guess.

Yes, I’m using QEMU though, no VMware or VirtualBox .

MX Linux (debian based) works perfectly on a usb drive

What? No, it’s developing countries stealing thousands and thousands of cars from rich country Canada. Buy a new RAV4 hybrid in Canada, it will be in africa/middle east in less than a month…

Well, less and less people post stuff like their vacation pic or food pic etc. Then more and more companies pay to be in your feed, so now your feed is only non-sense stuff like yours, or mine, it does not make sense, I often see posts from stuff not in my country or sometimes not in my language.

I only use FB for Marketplace (really big here), and for some FB hobby groups that replace good old forums. I never publish anything, and only one of my friend still post pictures of their journey, that’s it.

In Canada it is way worst, because every sources deemed news media cannot post/share articles, imagine in the USA if your feed had no news like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, npr, nyt, etc. but in your feed you see all the alternatives news (read: far-right, conspiracy, pro-russian, pro-musk, anti-ev, etc).

This is our reality in Canada, our facebook feed looks like twitter, full of hate and fake news. I always block them, but there are certainly thousands and thousands of bots posting those kind of thing.

FB is dead.

Yup, the green dot top right

Wtf? My company just gave me a Dell laptop, i7 13800H, 32GB ram, 1tb nvme, etc

Yeah about the same, I visited /., anadtech, tom’s, betanews, etc about daily maybe 20 years ago, but I haven’t been to those in a decade for sure, except slashdot I still go there

Great Scott I’m happy to not be an American, I don’t know how citizens will survive another term by this stupid idiot.

I don’t game so I’m using Xfce only, I love it

MX Linux is a great distro

or better, MX 23 :)
