Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here’s my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?3·1 year agoI don’t think I’ve ever made a “clean upgrade” on Linux. I’ve done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.
exscape@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?3·1 year agoSame here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity84·1 year agoDid you post evidence 20 years ago? Otherwise it’s not worth much more than “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs admits he beat ex-girlfriend Cassie: ‘I take full responsibility’6·1 year agoIf you truly do separate the art from the artist there’s no need to defend the artist.
I sometimes listen to a few black metal albums made by completely insane people, but I’d never defend their actions; quite the opposite.
exscape@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining283·1 year agoI literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.
I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.
Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.
I went to Debian half a year ago and it’s been great. Should’ve done it earlier.
Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.
Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.
I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•China sees ‘opportune moment’ as it pushes for direct Russia-Ukraine talks46·1 year agoDo you think giving the aggressor what they wanted is a good way to promote future peace?
exscape@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post2151·1 year ago“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Biden vows G7 response, ‘ironclad’ US support for Israel after Iran attacks11·1 year agodeleted by creator
exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•ext2: mark as deprecated - kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree6·1 year agoZFS is really nice. I started experimenting with it when it was being introduced to FreeBSD, around 2007-2008, but only truly started using it last year, for two NASes (on Linux).
It’s complex for a filesystem, but considering all it can do, that’s not surprising.
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•The truth about organic milk: cows are suffering on even the most “humane” dairy farms82·1 year agoRead that again, nobody called vegans unhealthy.
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Elon Musk is elevating the global extreme right87·1 year agoI can’t stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… If you’re referring to Starship, they didn’t expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).
exscape@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Salwan Momika, infamous man who burnt Quran in Sweden, ‘found dead in Norway’2·1 year agoWhat does that have to do with this article? I see no allegation that he was killed/hurt by anybody at all?
It also seems his death is not at all confirmed FWIW.
I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.
exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•GNU Coreutils 9.5 Can Yield 10~20% Throughput Boost For cp, mv & cat Commands3·1 year agoThat’s in bytes. A modern NVMe drive can do about 7 GB/s (more than 10 for PCIe 5.0 drives). Even SATA could handle 5 Gbit/s, though barely.
exscape@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•GNU Coreutils 9.5 Can Yield 10~20% Throughput Boost For cp, mv & cat Commands9·1 year agoSorry for the nitpick, but you probably mean GB/s (or GiB/s, but I won’t go there). Gbps is gigabits per second, not gigabytes per second.
Since both are used in different contexts yet they differ by about a factor of 8, not confusing the two is useful.
exscape@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections | Ars Technica201·1 year agoWhat does this have to do with systemd? Aren’t they safer in this situation because they aren’t using the beta xz release?
My systems running Debian stable with systemd also aren’t affected…
I wouldn’t say it’s the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something “not manly” is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).
