It’s a great tool but note that by default it upgrades EVERYTHING, up to and including production cloud environments if you are connected to any.
Visual Studio Ultimate is so heavy though. I wouldn’t want to use it for anything other than the languages it was designed for.
It’s so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.
Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.
Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.
Don’t they typically do minor anti-burn in changes during idle, basically having a built-in screensaver?
That’s what the display makers claim, in order to avoid too many customer complaints. In reality you’re still likely to get burn-in within a few years of monitor use, and when you ask for warranty support you’ll get denied claiming “you used the display wrong”.
With the increasing popularity of OLED displays, screensavers might make a comeback. Although I still think OLED displays aren’t worth it.
It’s a weird trend. Products that are popular with youth and “seem” un-healthy get banned by populistic laws, despite limited evidence proving them actually being un-healthy.
The other prominent example I can think is vaping. I don’t even vape, but it’s weird to see it demonized as much as cigarettes, when the evidence for it being as harmful is very limited.
Funny nickname, but have you got any evidence for your claims?
Do you remember what the original was?
If I’m looking it from a new user’s perspective, snaps offer an easy way to install many apps. If people actually care about their downsides they will eventually find out and stop using them on their own.
Which OS am I talking about? Hell, I have no idea. Fedora? Maybe Vanilla 2 when it comes out? Certainly nothing Arch based (sorry, guys, I love arch too but it’s not for beginners…).
I honestly think it’s Ubuntu. If we put aside the biases many of us “experienced” users have against Ubuntu/Canonical/snaps, Ubuntu seems like the best choice. Well supported, wide community, sane defaults.
The world didn’t exist before 1970.
I think the major difference is that USB-C is a much more mature standard than Matter. But even then it’s not perfect.
This is a common misconception. Podman has similar commands to Docker CLI but it’s not a “drop-in replacement”. Depending on your usage, you might run into things that don’t work the same.
It’s definitely not a law. Codifying this in law could stiffle innovation.
Let’s not pretend open source smart homes are perfect either. I hve immense respect for the Home Assistant project, but making it all work seamlessly is a nearly impossible task.
I use ReVanced too, perhaps a newer version. Recently the Share links changed, they no longer use the youtu.be shortener.
Yo how do you get the old YouTube shortened links?
Then you get bored and don’t actually learn anything… Or maybe that’s just me.
Actually I feel I should… My productivity at works comes and goes in phases, I have to make up for it in productive weeks if I don’t want to get fired.
