A Linux Desktop for the family
  • I disagree that users won't do stuff on their own. They will, but they will allocate very little time to it, on average, especially when compared to a tech savy person. And that's just because their computer is a tool.And if they cannot make their tool work for what they want to do, they'll find another way. Or deem it impossible.

    also don't forget that many don't even have the time and energy

  • and start off from a fundamentally wrong premise: that people are willing (let alone wanting) to manage their own operating systems.

    people shouldn't need to manage their own operating systems, to begin with

  • I love Rust
  • not the IDE, its the compiler. this is also not some AI shit, in many cases (not all) the compiler can actually figure out how to do this, because it's not hard, it would just be a lot of boilerplate if written manually.

  • It's up to users to know what they are installing.

    Except when all you get is an UAC prompt when clicking the play button, without giving you any information, other than that it wants to execute an exe in a temp dir with a random name.

  • antimalware is literally worthless as has been for at least a decade. not even once did I get a spyware (or other) alert for the software of any commercial data harvester company. they are literally bought out and even the blind can see this

  • There isnt much to discuss

    oh I think there is!

    you know what is tiring for fucks sake? that you are parroting your opinion basically, without pointing to any evidence. I don't know this service, but do you call them rapists because they are known for doing that, or because they didn't block users that were accused of rape?

    I don't approve of rape and fascism either. but you know, private services don't make a difference between anyone. why? because they can't make sure the accusations are true. if they can by looking at your data, they are not a private service.
    would you ban encryption because rapists use it too? encrypted services, like proton and matrix? signal? do you think they are guilty of allowing to conduct rape in secret?

    even if it turns out the maintainers are rapist fascist fucks themselves, the previous paragraph stands, and I'm interested in your responses.

  • Meta: please don't delete your posts if you later thought that the idea has "failed"

    Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea. The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.

    The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future. This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.

    Why does Ruby Gem 3 install gems to Ruby 2 directories?

    I have just installed the tmuxinator 3.0.5 ruby gem with gem 3.2.5 and the --user-install parameter, and to my surprise the gem was installed to ~/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/.

    Is this a misconfiguration? Will it bite me in the future? I had a quick look at the environment and haven't found a variable that could have done this. Or did I just misunderstand something? I assume that the version of gem goes in tandem with the version of ruby, at least regarding the major version number, but I might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with it.

    I have checked the version of gem by running gem --version. This is on a Debian Bullseye based distribution.
