@jordanlund @fl42v I *think* this one could be recoverable if they had a terminal still active by using the dynamic loader to call chmod — or by booting from a liveCD and chmodding from there.
That'd likely get you to a 'working' state quickly, but it'd take forever to get back to a 'sane' state with correct permissions on everything.
@fl42v I have thousands from my early days, but my only recent-ish one was pretty funny.
On an Arch install that hadn't been updated for a while, in a rush, had an app that needed OpenSSL 3. Instead of updating the whole system, I just updated the openssl package.
*Everything* broke immediately. Turns out a lot of stuff depends on openssl. Who knew?
To fix, booted to the arch installer, chrooted into my env, and reverted to the previous version of the package — then updated properly.
@cinaed666 @twotone I also have the Forerunner 55.
Something to note is that Garmin watches are Linux-friendly and can be used without signing up to their cloud services. You can access the watch as a USB storage device and manually grab the .FIT files on it, which you can then import into tools of your choice (or convert to .GPX for wider compatibility).
@rainpoint @RealAccountNameHere Their venture investment has dried up after they used their last round of ~$250m to more than double their workforce in less than two years in a drive to capitalise on crypto shit. Now they've had their valuation roughly halved and are left in a really tricky position, desperately needing to monetise to survive.
Spez was chasing an IPO in all the ways you'd expect of a modern techbro, completely misreading the NFT craze and the impact of enshittification.
@TheColonel @TimTheEnchanter 17 years ago is pretty much exactly when reddit became accessible. You were there from the very beginning.
I've been there for 14 years, and this kerfuffle has killed all enthusiasm I had for staying. I've switched to using reddit's RSS feeds for the few subs I can't give up yet (mainly those related to the Ukraine war) but I expect I'll stop using it altogether in short order.
On the plus side, it's furthered my deep distrust of big tech companies.
@MrShelbySan @wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.
@spiritedaway Yep — if you want it to. On initial install you choose the level of integration you want microG to support, as detailed here: https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/
@spiritedaway @Bondrewd It depends on what you mean by 'modified non standard' and 'stock Android', but banking apps will generally work on a number of custom Android distributions providing they aren't rooted.
All of my (UK-based) banking apps work on Calyx, for example.
@Lojcs Microsoft does exactly that. They licence a number of proprietary codecs for inclusion in Windows for the convenience of users.
Running under Wine, some alternative decoders can be used, but many proprietary codecs don't have freely-available decoders available. Under Proton, many free decoders can be used like Wine, but some prohibit commercial use or otherwise can't be implemented in Proton via Valve. GE-Proton manages the best of both worlds.
@ShaunaTheDead @CowsLookLikeMaps The ProtonVPN app is native. It's basically a frontend to NetworkManager.
