in that case: i wonder how much “soviet union” is still lives russia and whether or not there’s enough to keep the economic progress from vanishing.

i wonder how much of that economic progress will remain after the ukranian war.

They also help with producing logic if you’re stuck on a part of your project. Even if they don’t get it right, they give you a good explanation and and a better idea on what to do.

i now use it at the start of every single project and task that i work on.

i suspect that’s why google and microsoft jumped on it so quickly; their search engines become useless compared to chatgpt and i wonder how they’re going to enshitify it in the future to squeeze out more profits.

i wonder if it was an american military industrial complex fueled excuse to create a new profit stream in a new proxy war between russia and nato.

ukraine is perfect because the russians will never give them up for a myriad of reasons and that guarantees that american military contractors will be able to milk profits from ukraine as a proxy battleground country for as long as both russia and the united states exist; longer than any of us here today.

besides the head socket; this was me in 2005 as a lowly IT analyst with an entire laboratory’s worth of screens displaying glxgears 6 days per week making sure all of the workstations’ display drivers were working correctly before deploying them to the engineers. that 6th day was me coming in on a saturday or sunday to take advantage of the REALLY nice and expensive hardware to try out the few games that worked on linux at the time. lol

All tech companies eventually enshitify and we would never be able to remember all of them if they all became slurs. Lol

That would be perfect

be sure to leave out sensitive things like passwords, names, etc.

can you type the command history into your terminal and share it with us because it’s important to know where the package comes from since it’s unlikely that any of proton’s products are already in your repository list.

Ukraine US proxies

not for much longer if trump has anything to do with it.

i hope that my 17 year old car holds out a little bit longer so that I can get a chinese EV at 1/2 the price of the telsa and with 95% of the capability; i will no longer buy american cars.

who? nato or the russians?

i bet this is why they drumbeat and so heavily decry on “TERRORISTS!!!” to exclusion of any kind of reasonable arguments like: that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter; particularly when it comes to a genocide.

it’s a bit like the democrat’s decrying “TANKIES!!” to shut out all criticism that lost them the election; except decrying “TERRORISTS!!!” does win, unlike the democrats.

the proton package was already in your repository list?

are you able to share your yum repo configuration?

this and also this sounds like a project ripe for teaching yourself configuration management with something like ansible &/or terraform; which will get you paid since they’re in such high demand right now.

is support a factor in your decision? if so i would go with opensuse since it has options to let get enterprise support should you end up needing it. (anecdotally: redhat & canonical’s support are better; ESPECIALLY landscape since you mentioned nvidia & proprietary codecs, but it is very pricey)

Lawyers cost A LOT more than developers

I sometimes have macbooks from work; but I gave to my last one in favor of a Linux laptop from a Linux company and the sailing has been smoother than any of my macs in the past.

In the future I’m going to insist on Linux laptops or they can find someone else to do the job and Linux is the only reason I have the leverage over an employer to make such a requirement and the best part is that they bought the high end Linux laptop since it was so much cheaper than the macbooks.

Did you download it using yum or dnf?
