came here to say something like this and it makes me wish i should stick my head in the sand like this.

probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

i would be surprising if most didn’t.

agreed, Debian’s rock solid for 99.99% of people.

You just have to also accept the fact that if you’re doing something niche like VR gaming or using weird third-party custom hardware or something Debian sucks ass.

i’ve worked on predominantly debian based infrastructure professionally for multimedia companies in the last 10ish years, so it’s a little bit funny to me that og flavored debian doesn’t do this, but it clearly can if you can afford an army of developers to create it for you.

entire multi-billion dollar revenue streams literally exist because of debian doing this and doing it well, but everyone popularly and unquestioningly believe that you can’t do it on linux. lol

The only problem I have is that CTRL+V get intercepted by the terminal before it get to vim. That means that block visual mode is not available to me

this was was my biggest gripe with wsl because i do 95% of my work with the vim and bash and i’m saddened to learn that it hasn’t gotten better.

fair and simply because there are no reports, doesn’t means that it’s not happening.

the men in the epstein list are free in large part because there are not enough reports from living & similarly aggrieved people.

boring is awesome if you need to just work all the time and for a long time.

The DA wouldn’t care that it was the graves of a bunch of pedo’s. The indictment would just read ‘Defendant with poor life choices vs. The State.’ I’m not going to jail as a martyr for their legacy. Pass.

either that or get gentler machines. i have an impeller driven washer and portable dryer that doesn’t ridiculously hot and my clothes has lasted for literal decades now.

it also helps being naked 99% of the time too. lol

the last time i used wsl on a work windows laptop, windows fucked up the virtual disk drive and everything in it was gone.

this was about 5 years ago, so hopefully it’s gotten better.

was it written on the tombstones of the catholic priests that were protected by the church?

or the boy scout leaders?

or the southern baptist convention?

did that happen when ti was revealed that the catholic church was protecting predators?

or the boy scouts?

or the southern baptists convention?

it’s the catholic church pedo leaks all over again …

or the boy scouts …

or the panama papers …

or the snowden leaks …

or cambridge analytica …

i wish the documents would make a difference.

i knew i recognized the name somewhere earlier today when i learned about it, but i couldn’t remember how until i saw this; i was forced to use it because of windows a while back.

i remember liking it too.

Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

ii suspect that most on lemmy have been moving from one platform to another since 1990’s because of this sentence and it boggles my mind someone repeats it like it’s never happened before.

fedora on my mac was stable for 12 years

do your setting persist when you stick to a new phone?

rednote has been fantastic for me; what was wrong w it for you?

and condemns anyone who tries to advocate for anything otherwise.

it’s strange to see a nation that popularly keeps alive the memories of being at the receiving end of colonialism act like a colonizer themselves.
