Yea they keep all the data. I deleted everything on my account when the whole shitshow happened and then GDPR requested the data associated with the account and it was all still there. And when I requested that they delete that too they outright refused.

Oh no...

Yea, I am afraid our instance name is literally a meme so I hope you are fine with telling everyone that you use Arch anytime you post anything from this account :D

Also welcome to the instance! If you use arch or not :)

100% not haunted (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I don't understand what has to posses you to think this is a great photo to post. Actually I might have a guess what.

It has been a while since I last made a post questioning things, life has been really busy. But I currently got a little bit of downtime so why not make a new thread again :)

So the question is how often do you do updates? Every day? Once a week? Once a month? When XY thing happens? Never? Or is it just completely random?

If you don't want to bother with the bootloader like the other comment mentioned you can also just use the boot menu from the motherboard instead. You gotta mash f11 (or whatever it is on your motherboard) on boot when you want to go into Windows, but if you only need it every once in a while it is good enough.

Technically yes. Switched from software dev to QA at a different company. Worse pay, worse commute, 0 regrets. My current company asked me if I would want to work as a dev instead, nope, can't pay me enough to do that again.

Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.

[-] MouseWithBeer@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 points 10 months ago

Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:

Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with a '^' and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc key twice.

:D

Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.

And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.

Defederation of burggit.moe (iusearchlinux.fyi)

As you have probably noticed we took a pretty hands off approach to moderating this instance. If something is straight up malicious we will remove it, if not we will let the moderators of the respective communities to deal with it. We believe everyone should have the right to their own opinions, even if we don't necessarily agree with them and based on that we have not defederated from any other instance, till now.

Yesterday I came across what I would very much consider borderline, if not just straight up CP communities that someone on this server subscribed to. There was not just one single community, there were several on a singular instance. I told Sören about it and the instance has now been defederated and the communities purged. Hopefully there shouldn't be any leftovers of it.

I don't imagine anyone having an issue with us doing that, but we just wanted to let you know for fully transparency. We like for people to have access to everything, but some things are just too much (and rightfully illegal).

I am genuinely curious what is your issue with the tab bar? I got a long list of issues I have with FF (still my main browser anyways) but the tab bar is not one of them and I always have 20+ tabs open. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just trying to understand why you think so.

Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.

But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.

.ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).

It has been a little bit since my last post. I generally post when I am bored at work and the past 2 weeks were busy.

Today for a change I am curious about your hardware. Do have a laptop, desktop, both? One, 2, more? Why so many if you got more than 1? What hardware is it in it? Anything you would like to upgrade/change for your use case? Ever ran into any support issues with them? Any Steamdecks or funky hardware around?

[-] MouseWithBeer@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 points 11 months ago

Bollards, roads signs and other road signalisation. It is honestly a problem.

Last week I was asking about when and why you started using Linux, thank you everyone who took their time to write an answer! It was interesting to read all of your guys stories and I was surprised just how far back some of them go.

Now I am curious about your guys DE/WMs. What do you use? What do you like/don't like about it? What have you tried? What is you go to? Any you absolutely can not stand the sight of? Any that you tried that disappointed you?

Once again no judgment, just curious about peoples experiences.

I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

Looking for replacements (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I made this thread in case someone is looking for any specific replacement for specific reddit subs (or something else) and hopefully someone might be able to chime in with some good suggestions.

ProtonDB has a Platinum rating for it.

Crusader Kings II: Songs of Yuletide

Crusader Kings II: South Indian Portraits 5 Year Anniversary Gift

No native support on Linux, but it works flawlessly with Wine for me at least. One of my favorite games I have played this year so far.

Has native Linux support :)
