The hardest person to convert is a Windows “poweruser”. They have an unfounded confidence in their ability to do things. They think because they know Windows well they should be immediate pros at other OSes as well.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft reveals major price increase for all Surface PCs as RAM crisis continuesEnglish
5·6 days agoI had a Surface Pro 4 when I went to university. I always said if it wasn’t for the note taking there was no way I would recommend it. It had all kinds of software issues and eventually it just straight died while I was studying one day. I don’t think I’ve ever had a computer die like that, eventually they just get replaced by being obsolete.

1·12 days agoAnd the fact that it’s a mesh so theoretically it should be easy to avoid a single point of failure. If one person with one gets arrested or otherwise silenced, the network stays up. Probably need a way to rotate keys though.

3·12 days agoFor future reference, any time you want to coordinate some sort of resistance or even protest, the leadership should get on Meshtastic, MeshCore, or some other equivalent. Encrypted mesh communication over radios. The radios are fairly inexpensive starting at around $40.

1·20 days agoI assume that’s part of it. It might be because most consultants wiped their company issued laptops and installed Fedora. Maybe they figured they should just give the people what they want.

1·21 days agoWhat’s funny is even internally we don’t use RHEL desktop. When I first stared our CSB (Corporate Standard Build) was RHEL 7. These days it is Fedora.

1·21 days agoI’m not even talking just home use. I actually work for Red Hat. Granted I work in the public sector so what I see might be skewed, but I rarely ever see anyone use the desktop version.

42·22 days agoNo, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’ve engaged in this for too long already if you’re not going to explain whatever the heck you were talking about. I think you’re also getting downvotes because others don’t know what you’re talking about either.

Technology@lemmy.world•A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on EarthEnglish
0·25 days agoYes it does because parts of LEO have such low air resistance that the junk will stay up there for a very long time. However, I think part of how the Starlink satellites work is being so low that they do deorbit pretty quickly.
Weird choice of OS in that case. One the preconfigures many packages for you. You do you.
That’s my biggest gripe with GNOME. They constantly compromise or even remove features to be more touch friendly.
