Yepp, Hanlon’s razor: they are mostly just lazy and maybe incompetent, not necessarily evil, that’s just a side effect. E.g. in my country if you call them that you want to get out of CGNAT they’ll just do that for you. My IP haven’t changed in years, but I don’t pay for fix IP. But it may be different in each country, I have mostly good experiences with local ISPs here.
Your generated answer contains no relevant information. You asked the bullshit machine incorrectly, as from the community it should be clear that OP is looking for a Linux related theme, and from the image it should be clear it’s a wm or de. Not a terminal. Not a Google Slide (wtf) or whatever.
The only slightly relevant part was listing GNOME-Look and KDE Store.
I’m not a luddite, this current AI technology is a nice and interesting tool, but please don’t bring it here this way. We are humans discussing a topic, we don’t need this off-putting and irrelevant wall of text. You gain nothing, we gain nothing, no VC fund behind lemmy, there is no incentive to generate content above all. Your karma means nothing, it’s only point is sorting comments in a thread.
If OP would be interested in an AI generated answer, they would just type the question there. It’s not something only you can do.
And it doesn’t even answer the question, it sounds like the out of touch answers on microsoft support forum, why did you copied it here. You haven’t even read it? This is one of the worst usecase of an LLM I have ever seen.
How can you be sure someone is not storing CSAM on your server, if it’s encrypted?
It sounds like storj from a decade ago, but you got at least some monopoly money for your storage there. I don’t follow what they are doing nowadays but it started similarly
You can try the hosted version here: https://app.nocodb.com/
Have you checked nocode platforms/databases? It’s basically a cross section of a super powerful excel and a database manager. You can set up the way you want, link records from different tables, add images, files to “rows”, like excel on steroids. You don’t have to understand SQL at all, that’s why it’s called “no code”.
I use nocodb. Tried baserow before, but I didn’t like that a lot of basic features are not available in the foss version, in nocodb only some bells and whistles are behind a paywall and not available in the self hosted version
They are also called airtable clones, as airtable was the first well known platform like these.
Some other similars exist: https://alternativeto.net/software/airtable/?platform=self-hosted&feature=database-management
On a surface you should use the surface kernel and its patches: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
If I were you I would pick one from the well documented distros from its wiki: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup#surface-kernel-installation
Obviously it should be possible to install this on any distro, but you can save yourself from a headache if you just follow a tutorial, if you have never done such a thing.
Usually it’s easier if you have the same distro on both of your computers, so you don’t have to think about which computer are you on, it’s simpler if everything is the same. All the same programs available, same repos, etc.
You are not new to lemmy, it says you registered a year ago, but is this the first time you meet a comment with license info? You are one of today’s lucky 10000.
I’ve seen this on multiple users, usually it’s some anti ai license. Like the laws stopped facebook from torrenting copyrighted books, an anti ai license will stop the next ai startup scraping the fediverse.
I remember a lot of things were not working. For example I was a GNU screen user, and no terminal multiplexer could work at that time in WSL1. They added support to tmux after a while and I switched to that and never switched back, rest is history…
The point is just like how not everything working ootb in wine, the same is true for the other direction.
They would have to invest more work which costs money, but if they just ship the linux kernel, which is already written, and the users already bought big ssds and have highspeed internet, so they could just use that for free, it makes more sense, and makes more money to the shareholders
WSL2 is just a vm, WSL1 worked like wine, but reversed, only the name is similar, nothing else (classic microsoft…)
According to arm it’s working: https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/laptops-and-desktops/wsl2/ We could virtualize different architectures for ages, nothing special here. But I guess they can ship a kernel built for arm.
About these new laptops, I have no experience yet, but eagerly waiting for them to have usable bare metal linux support. Ubuntu supports development for them, some of them are already bootable, more info here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-10-concept-snapdragon-x-elite/48800
What is PT?
I remember similar things happened to me when I fiddled some with settings which could be set up both on the DE and also on the system level. So I guess something similar happens here.
Does it already reset if you are on the login screen, or if you open a tty?
On the ArchWiki page on Xorg keyboard config there is a big warning:
Note: XKB options can be overridden by the tools provided by some desktop environments such as GNOME and Plasma.
I just became the maintainer of the AUR package of ibus-uniemoji, please comment there if it’s still not working for you. I also updated to the new upstream version, it looks much better than on the gif.
It wasn’t clear for me what the hell is a “Global Shortcut” I heard the term first time in my life, I found the answer in the upstream PR:
It’s designed so that applications can register actions that can be triggered globally (i.e. regarless of the system’s state, like focus).
It’s strange it wasn’t possible until now, or the main thing it’s now DE independent?
On Gnome I use Run or raise extension, and with this I can run or switch to running apps with global shortcuts, so this was definitely working from Gnome extensions.
But the required config changes can affect those as well.
Like last week I had to change repositories in pacman.conf. It also affected endeavour, as it doesn’t have separate repos: https://archlinux.org/news/cleaning-up-old-repositories/
This mkinitcpio config change should have effected all Arch based distros: https://archlinux.org/news/mkinitcpio-hook-migration-and-early-microcode/
XP to Vista is a wrong comparison, as Vista changed the driver system, and on a lot computers it was impossible to upgrade, as drivers for a lot of stuffs wasn’t updated for Vista. Non rolling upgrades similar to the recent windows big updates: it take some time, changes the wallpaper, but not something very complex…
From the post:
But first question, as someone who isn’t tech inclined and tinkering […] that runs out of the box without me having to install additional software manually or at least automatic setup wizards because like hardware
Don’t recommend Arch to users who doesn’t want to tinker please. I know, I use Arch. Arch regularly requires user intervention, you should see them on the news: https://archlinux.org/news/ You can see, 3-4 times a year you have to fiddle with some settings, otherwise you can get an unbootable system.
And that’s how we get “the (unrealistic) expectation I had of Linux was all command line stuff and techno babble.”
But his prime was like 10 years ago? So they are in their mid twenties now.
The “subscribe to pewdiepie” mass shooting was in 2019, 6 years ago, and he was already a household name at that point
I worked for a small company, not an IT job, this happened like 10 years ago.
The office administrator lady got an email from an unknown address. The email was in Italian, she couldn’t speak Italian, but we had an Italian client, so it was not unexpected that we got an email in Italian. The email had an attachment, a docx file. She downloaded it, opened it then Word asked if she wants to allow running macros embedded in the document, and she obviously clicked yes. We had a small Linux file server, and the virus running on her PC encrypted several tenthousand excel files before it was noticed that something is happening and her machine could be switched off.
No problem - said the boss, we only lost a half day of work, as we have an offsite backup, it runs every night, we can just restore yesterday’s data. Unfortunately the backup stopped half years ago, but no one checked the logs…
