2·3 days agoI’ve questions about this.
People are talking about it like it is the greatest thing ever, however, isn’t this yet another result of the Broadcom acquisition? After firing a bunch of people , now this. Maybe they just don’t want to maintain the “existing proprietary virtualization code” so they’re moving to KVM. Less costs, less people.
1·8 days agoI guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn’t actually care, they’ve a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can’t do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.
I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.
A better title: Opera explains shit on how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support. Will talk to developers so see if anyone has a good ideas.
Love it 😂
The funny part is that they sell it as modern yet they use Java like if it was a banking software from the 90’s. Thanks for the tip.
Nextcloud Music (…) Downside: it is Nextcloud.
3·10 days agoI’m hoping that some US state also decides to enforce this browser engine thing so then US companies start having interest in making iOS engines.
Yeah, that’s great, however, where’s ONE browser with a 3rd party engine? No Chrome, no Firefox, no Brave… So much talk, years and years and now that Apple was forced into making it available there’s not a single browser using it.
It’s not “my hardware” it is that everyone talks about Linux desktop yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a large user base.
Instead of wasting time on supporting bullshit hardware that almost nobody owns and will be forgotten in about 6 months, what about placing some effort into real hardware that real people want to use like tablets? Fucks sake.
Update: just to make it clear, I own no hardware of that type, it’s not “doesn’t work on my hardware” type of situation. It is that everyone likes to talks about Linux desktop (including Canonical) yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a real user base.
4·14 days agoIt’s so hard to have a SMB share with one folder per game. The solution is obviously to run 4000 docker containers.

Windows 10/11 Enterprise is recommended as that’s the version where Microsoft can’t fuck up.
No, that’s a myth. Registry edits may revert in some cases yes, but group policy is different as it designed exactly to configure machines in a stable way.
Group policy may be beyond the general skill level, which makes the constant Linux suggestions even more laughable.
Ahaha yeah, I’ve said that SO MANY times. People have issues setting a few toggles on a point-and-click UI but then it is okay to suddenly move to a entirely different OS that most likely won’t have the software they’re used to and requires terminal skills to deal with most things. Laughable indeed.
Completely bullshit, garbage clickbait title.
Windows 10 is near EoL, however that’s for Home/Pro/Enterprise versions, you can move to one of those for more time:
- Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC - 2027
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC - 2032
To be fair I don’t really believe that Microsoft will kill it when they say they will. And even if they do it, porting security updates from those LTSC versions into the regular ones might be doable.
Now on Windows 11:
You can just disable copilot and all the other garbage using group policy, now that hard and you’ll end up with essentially Windows 10. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-disable-microsoft-copilot/
Remember that Apple had to dumb down the macOS version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers at some point (from iWork 09 to single apps) to later on release something even more dumbed down for iOS… and now we have the ultra-dumbed down version for the web.
AirPods work so… how much more proprietary can you get? :P
Yeah because apparently it is too hard to double click on setup.exe but using a docker is okay.
So, looks like tons of HTTP services and SSH.
Systemd does a lot of stuff I guess it is easier to just lean based on what comes up / you need. There isn’t a single path.
