all updates were failing to download here.
rebooted the device, and i just tested one update right from the app’s details page and that went on ok. will try the others from the update ui later, after the battery gets charged up.
edit to update: broken. updates not coming in, nor are they one-at-a-time from the app pages, either.
and the death blow is when more like-minded developers do the same… there won’t be enough left that would vote to change policy to try to lure some back.
it’s not a ‘loophole’. it’s not an exception, either. it’s a time bomb. if it becomes widespread, it’s a literal death sentence for linux and foss on users’ desktops.
i’m actually a little surprised, given their history about being so hardcore about dfsg compliance.
i dunno. i just worked on one of their ‘gaming’ rigs. weird chinese-branded everything. 3 months old, won’t stay running. crashes constantly. re-installs don’t help. it’s trash. the vendor has all but disappeared. still has their storefront but they don’t answer, and amazon won’t help either.
even though i swapped out the atrocious no-name motherboard so now it’s at least usable, i expect to see it again with a failed psu, gpu, or ram.
they might make it on availability or price, but longevity or reliability they have a lot of work to do.
i have a POS laptop here with a small ssd in it, gemini lake, originally came with 4gb and hdd. as sold, was about the slowest piece of shit available that ‘officially’ supports win11. it has 8gb and that 120gb ssd now, and it’s barely usable to look at a web page.
i just get it out when i need to show someone something online or do something online for them.
parted_magic has gui tools for this (among many other things) on a bootable image. it’s not free, but a one-off download is only like 20 bucks (use that version forever). secure erase and running smart tests are about the only things i use it for, and even just for that it is definitely worth the lunch money.
same. but i also use mullvad because it adds to encrypted dns (doh or dot only), several levels of filtering to choose from. this allows you to have some basic (can’t edit filter lists yourself) ‘pi-hole’ functionality without having to have a pi-hole available.

the linked project literally changed to gpl3 five hours ago.
yea a lot of them do report linux, if they report an os at all. however, in a survey of “desktop” visitors, one would expect visits determined to not be ‘interactively human’ to be omitted entirely from the counts.
putting osx and macos on separate lines was dumb af. the ‘drop’ of osx over the last ~ 18 months is entirely offset by the debut (and thus, an ‘increase’ from zero) of the name change to macos. it’s a wash there.
linux gains are almost entirely windows’ loss, but whether it’s a legitimate trend or not will take time to determine.
this is not gonna end well for the company or its games… so the only thing i can think of is it’s simply a big a smoke screen for some financial shenanigans.
got a ways to go yet. ddg (search assist) says the total size of all content on the (public) internet is 120 zettabytes (as of 2023). that’s 1.2x10^23 bytes; you’re “only” at 1.718x10^19 bytes.

the gnome foundation, however, is a u.s. organization, based in california.
vital parts of jitsi are not multi-threaded, so a beefy machine with fast single-thread performance will be needed. but the network and bandwidth requirements will probably be an even bigger obstacle. going off their recommendations, it’d be at least 7.5gbps for 720p to 3000 participants.
it can be really dumb, but it can also be extremely useful for some things. i think that’s pretty much linus’ stance–and if you do use it, you are the one wholly responsible for what comes out of it.
it’s intentionally completely vague so users don’t know what they’re getting when they buy it.
‘s mode’ limits all application installs to store apps, which microsoft gets their standard fees for… plus all the sweet user data and tracking that comes along for the ride.
turning ‘s mode’ off (i.e. reverting to a standard install of windows) by ‘normal’ means requires installing a tool from the ‘store’ that requires a microsoft account to get, which then gets linked to your install and your pc… so they get your info one way or the other.
to get a true ‘microsoft experience’ he should have use a new laptop, one with windows 11 ‘s mode’ on it and only 8gb ram–since microsoft now claims that’s enough.
at least four of them
