He’s not being an arse. You shat on a man’s life work. It’s something he was remembered for. Also, Samba has been a life saver more times than I care to remember.

Linux@sh.itjust.works•Illinois's new law requires operating system providers to add age verification by 2028 including open-source projects
1·19 days agoNot quite. In order to qualify for that category, the device has to require an Internet account registration to function, ie Apple ID, Microsoft account, or Google account. So Macs, Win11+ and ChromeOS qualify, but not Linux.
EDIT:
I am curious about standard Android vs De-Googled versions like GrapheneOS.

2·19 days ago100% This is an absolutely terrible law with very worrying implications. Still, the title of the post is untrue and misleading.

Linux@sh.itjust.works•Illinois's new law requires operating system providers to add age verification by 2028 including open-source projects
8·19 days agoAfter reviewing the actual text of the law, I think the title of this post is false or at the very least extremely misleading by omission. I suggest editing the title or deleting the post altogether as to not spread misinformation.
Still a.terrible law though.

9·19 days agoThe law explicitly notes that news media, broadband service providers, email providers, and learning management systems are not covered platforms and are not subject to this law.
There are scope limits all over the place in this law. It’s still a terrible law, but whoever posted it on Reddit didn’t seem to understand much of what they read.
The real issue with it is the device level age verification.
EDIT: Link to full text of the law.
EDIT 2: Looking at the text, a big concern would be for users of MacOS, ChromeOS and Windows because each require an internet connected account (AppleID, Google ID, Microsoft account). These types of account would require an age and ID verification mechanism.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Finally done with the distro-hop: My return to Fedora
3·25 days agoI am pretty sure I started with either Halloween or Mother’s Day because Red Hat Linux for Dummies came with Red Hat 2.1 which I am pretty sure came out in 96 or 97. I know Red Hat 6 was released in 1999, because I was neck deep in Y2K work at the time I installed it on my Compaq laptop.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Finally done with the distro-hop: My return to Fedora
20·25 days agoI have been on this Linux jam since 1996 with a CD copy of Red Hat that came with a magazine (Byte, maybe?). In 2018 I made the jump to Debian based distros specifically because I got tired of the surprises. Now my lab runs LMDE. The only thing more stable and boring is Debian Stable itself.
Like you said, I want to focus on my projects, not have the OS be my project.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Apple launches official program for leasing Macs as AI price crunch bites — 24- and 36-month leasing options provided by KlarnaEnglish
1·29 days agoSame. I picked up an M4 Max Mac Mini with 96 GB or ram and three maxed out System 76 Meerkats in December for work. I paid less for two Meerkats than I would pay for one with the same configuration today. The Mac Mini was not even available at the configuration when I checked a month or two ago.

Linux@programming.dev•Proton VPN's anti-censorship Stealth protocol finally lands on Linux
52·1 month agoIt’s the author conflating “Linux” and “open source”. In their statement, Proton states “Linux community” snd the author promptly writes “open source community”. Knowing the difference between the two seems like a requirement to write for a tech publication, but maybe that’s just my crazy opinion.
Nice. Could you recreate my mess using it? We all carry bad habits and inneficiencies, so I’m down to learn a cleaner, more efficient way.
find dir1 – find something within directory “dir1”
-type f – specifies that what you are looking fir is a file
-name ‘crunk’ – the file name is ‘crunk’
-exec bash -c – for the results, execute bash command
The command executed is move (mv)
‘mv “$0” “${0/crunk/chunk}”’ {} ; – move from crunk to chunk
User @zeppo@lemmy.world is who mentioned the use of “rename”. Mentioning in order to grab their attention.
My guess is that he was doing a “find . | grep filename”, which is a way to output a list of all occurrences within that directory structure, hence why they mentioned grep.
Let’s see, and please do not execute this “as is” since I am pulling this out of my butt. Assuming directory name is “dir1”, the file to be renamed is “crunk”, and the new name is “chunk”, then… (I assumed bash)
find dir1 -type f -name 'crunk' -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0/crunk/chunk}"' {} \;








I can’t wait for multikernel based Proxmox VE.
