It usually expands in specific increments, so you still end up with a common size.

They were defined sure, but without distribution adherence they weren’t actually, this has been the case for a long time. Out of all the distributions, Gentoo is probably one of the most sensitive to this issue since most others have used initramfs or initrd for decades and Gentoo has always made it optional.

If the post was about FHS adherence I’d agree more.

I don’t know if this is really a “so broken” instance. /bin and /usr/bin (or sbin) have never been well separated, to the point where many distributions just symlink to /usr anyway. If you don’t want an initramfs to provide binaries you need them somewhere accessible.

Firefox also has a resist fingerprinting setting, but it can break many things.

If it is really a concern, I have heard the mullvad browser essentially the tor browser without tor.

Newer kernels are available, they even have a gui for it. Why would a Cinnamon user care about KDE or GNOME updates? (Some of which are broken on Fedora, like rdp login)

Mint Debian can run 6.7 right now.

Red Hat has long benefitted from being the primary enterprise Linux company based in the US (no, we don’t count Oracle). SUSE created US-based Rancher Government Solutions to get some of that business and it seems to have been getting a lot of interest, despite being early days. They did a good job of focusing on modern technologies and immutable systems.

I don’t think any of those really apply.

She didn’t have experience with it, but she was good with computers. When she realized what she was looking at, she made the famous exclamation. Not all that different than people posting stuff to Linux in the wild threads.

Fsn is what was up on the screen, so that’s what she used. Probably easier than figuring out how to get to the command line on an unfamiliar system.

Teaching kids field first aid for a sucking chest wound is so America.

It’s based on Foursquare checkins from six months in 2016, not good for real world at all.

@SDF@lemmy.sdf.org or whomever is responsible, thanks for updating the software to 0.19.1 (rc). Silly me I thought it was unlikely to happen over Christmas.

Really appreciate you taking the time over the holiday to update and hopefully resolve the issues we've been seeing for a while.

Let the comments flow!
