A healthy amount of skepticism is indeed important.

Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise…

Agree, i have rarely seen people who actually use adblock outside my work. I had to practically tie up my entire family, in-laws included to get ublock installed on all their computers.

Geese have a reputation, but i know for a fact if you actually fight back there’s not much they could really do.

Just wanted to let you y’all know how tough i am…

They tried that already with the samsung s7 active. It was a pretty rugged phone by itself but people still insisted on putting a case on it. They then complained about the phone being too big and it didn’t sell well.

But is ‘leftist’ actually a belief system? Left vs Right seems to me to be a political construct applicable to the individual country in question, if it can even be applied at all.

Another words, i guess I don’t see the point of assigning “tankies” to left or right.

Same here. UBlock origin has been the gold standard for so long I’m surprised not everyone uses it.

My in-laws have starlink. It’s excellent and a huge improvement from their previous Internet setup. There’s no fiber on their side of town for the foreseeable future.

I’m probably going to get flammed for this, so let me just say I’m already a Linux user.

We need to cool our jets here. Windows 12 isn’t even confirmed yet, and there’s no proof that it will require a subscription. That being said, a subscription service isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it will allow users to have access to features they need, or replace other existing subscription services like xbox game pass, cloud storage, media, etc…

I’ve been seriously considering the same thing. Would love to see about getting a remote setup for a computer.

Just a general reminder for folks to generate content. Don’t worry if it doesn’t get a lot of attention yet, the fact that it’s there will bring people in.

Correct me I’m wrong, but i think in practical sense of real time kernels is that you could have a program take over much of the processing power, limiting your ability to multi task. I believe this raises security and stability concerns for every day use, but is fine for Audio.

Keep in mind you can have multiple kernels installed and just choose which one to boot into. This way you can save the rt kernel for your audio stuff and then switch back into the normal kernel when you’re done.

As an anecdote, I use the Scarlet with Guitarix and dont notice any difference between the RT and normal kernel myself. Both have had little latency for me and the RT Kernel seemed stable enough. It’s possible you may have something running the background that’s holding you up in the normal kernel. Read the Arch Wiki article on performance enhancements for Audio https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Professional_audio

Hmm, not quite that bad but me, but i did notice some weird hangups and switched back to xorg.

General rule for me is at least once at week ( though I’ve had a laptop go almost six months last year and was fine post update ).

I would also recommend updating prior to installing any new software.

Meh, kinda depends. Most issues I’ve had with Arch are related to bugs with apps rather than system breakage (looking at you early Plasma). Overall Arch is stable and issues are resolved quickly, though sometimes you may need to avoid major software releases for a while.

Yeah idk, many distros show the classic startup/shutdow process

Agreed, Linux is better, but still good to know how to work with Windows

Oh cool, more power to them

Theoretically yes, that would be an sql injection. SQL Injection is preventable through good practice, but with added complexity of the application comes more chances for things to be missed.

In some ways, it’s good that lemmy is going through this now and getting vulnerabilities exposed sooner than later.
