Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the explanation.

Aren’t all commercial plane turbine engines high bypass turbofans? (excluding turboprop)

Serious question, because I assumed that’s how they all worked, but this sounds like it is special or in spite of and it got me wondering.

Hu, that was weird. Kinda cool animation though. Maybe it’s a new channel to binge. Thanks!

The problem is always having the bad option being enabled by default. Not even the ads are the biggest problem. I didn’t even mention their current ads in the terminal. The problem is the same Microsoft is having now, that your keyboard input gets sent to an untrustworthy third party.

Your comment got cut off. If you wanted to dispute the paid paid claim. It is about Ubuntu Pro, that’s literally all what the basic tier is. We recently even had the case where a patch with a highish CVE rating was only available to subscribers of the service. We also verified that the same patch was already available on Debian. Even without my anecdote it should be obvious why it is bad.

Emphasis on it was. It started to go downhill with Amazon integration and now we have paid security updates. They are holding back developed and available security packages for their OS!

There is no way to still recommend Ubuntu. No need to even talk about the other questionable decisions like snap.

The globe would be so nice to have!

Knowing for sure if and when you passed the moment would be depressing though.

It looks like a young netherland dwarf rabbit. Short ears and a big head are characteristic for them.

It is a race between mayo and mustard. Having to pick one I’d prefer mustard.

Isn’t it also super common in Mexican cuisine?

I love cumin and it is probably in my top 5 of most used spices in the kitchen. You would hate me!

sudo is not simply a tool to give admin privileges, but a tool to manage elevated permissions or run commands in a different users context.

These things become a lot more relevant once you use the tools professionally. In a well configured system you are only allowed to run the things you are explicitly allowed.

To be completely honest sudo is basically pointless in a single user context. There is almost no reason to even have it installed. It makes dealing with different environments easier though.

Anyway as I said it does not matter in many cases if you are the systems administrator. On the other hand there is also no benefit in getting used to bad practices in case you have to unlearn them later.

One more thing: what you suggest with chroot is one of the very reasons why you should not do that. You might have handed over the keys to break out of chroot. It is a well known vector which boils down to never run anything as root in a chroot environment.

sudoedit opens the editor as your user and just writes the file as root. For a single user who is also admin on the system this does not matter in many cases.

In a multi user context you can easily escape your editor and run a shell which allows a non admin user to escalate their privileges. So from a security implementation standpoint this must exist and it does for this reason.

Of course this also prevents some mistakes from happening and a bad plugin cannot destroy your whole system easily and so on. It boils down to good practice.

Arch Linux and Cinnamon.

I like it simple without being too opinionated like some other DEs. I am eagerly awaiting Wayland support though

Ben Duerr is one of my favorite metal vocalists! I didn’t know the song, but of course I had to check it out and I don’t regret it.

Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.

There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that’s the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.

I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.

Unfortunately it has a habit of jumping around due to its asynchronous weird fuzzy search. So when typing fast you sometimes randomly launch the wrong action. It is especially inconsistent, because files are also indexed and by default it also includes web searches so the behavior is always changing.

I believe this got introduced with Windows 10 and feels just bad. Unless you are typing slowly and actually scan the results the search is doing a bad job as an application launcher like it was with Windows 7 for example.

It kinda is though. Iirc it received an interrupt it shouldn’t have received and doesn’t know how to resolve. It is not supposed to ignore it, but then the only other option is crashing at this point. Basically it continues in a dazed and confused state.

Of course the message could be clearer, but at least it also makes the message easily searchable.

The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.

I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.

I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.

You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.

It’s not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.
