It’s even harder to praise the actions of USA’s government.

I expect nothing more from them. Although, calling it “Temu something something” is an insult to Chinese goods.

How long will it take until they turn Minority Report into reality? “The AI said you were going to commit an act of terrorism/murder/robbery, so we’ll jail you before you cause any harm”

Peace President keeping up the peace with yet another war.

If you want to confirm that, launch one or all of your WinBoat apps. While they are running, run pidof windows. If that gave some pids, run pstree -sp <pid>. That command shows the parent processes, with their pids, of the <pid> . WinBoat probably should be among the parents of the “windows” process.

/proc is a special directory that is populated by procfs, a special kind of filesystem. It contains information about running processes. Each sub-directory contains information for one process. When you launch an application, it’s assigned some process id. Every time you launch the application, it gets a different process id.

You can try and find the application by running which windows. If the application is in your PATH, that tells where it is.

That command only killed the process, in other words, it “closed the program”. Rebooting the computer would have had the same exact effect. The application is still in your computer, unless it decided to self-destruct.

Tennis balls are bad for dog’s dental health. They are abrasive, and can wear down the teeth.

That US site’s data includes both mobile and desktop. With a bit of math, you get Linux’s desktop marketshare over 30 days as 7,1%.

Steam’s February data is heavily influenced by Chinese new year. If you only consider Linux Steam users who have set English as their Steam language, Linux’s marketshare is 8,28%.

If running Home Assistant is all you are going to do, Pi is enough. There’s also official hardware with Home Assistant preinstalled: Home Assistant Green

I’ve only ever set up few printers to work on linux, and they’ve been bigger office printers. And they’ve all worked with minimal effort. Absolutely no idea about home printers.

Most (all?) printers and scanners released in past decade and some supports driverless printing and scanning. As long as you have printing related systems installed on your computer, most printers should be just plug and play. Especially those that are connected over network.

Good. No-one else can use it now.

Not only do you get to pay for the hardware to be able to use the software, and then pay for the software to be allowed to use it. When you use the software it siphons various user data off of you to train their AI with, so that you, the valued customer, can also pay for that AI service.

The calculator app might have remote code execution vulnerability, so you are better off uninstalling it and asking Copilot instead.

GamingOnLinux updated their Steam Tracker with February’s data: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

Linux, English Only went from January’s 7.59% to 8.27%. There’s a huge influx of Chinese users in this month’s data.

Qobuz with Strawberry is… not very good. I think qbz was released this year, so you probably didn’t try that. There’s a .deb file in GitHub for it, and it also comes in other forms, like Flatpak and AppImage.

DRM free high resolution lossless music, to be more specific. Their prices are quite high, though. Some normal album might cost 20€, while you can get the same album in same resolution and DRM free for 10€ in Bandcamp (a US company, unfortunately).

As a side note, next week’s Friday (March 6th) is Bandcamp Friday, which means 100% of money you spend there goes to the bands and publishers. Bandcamp won’t take anything for themselves. https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-fridays

Did you try qbz? https://github.com/vicrodh/qbz. It works quite well, except Qobuz Connect (ability to control other Qobuz players) doesn’t work, and seems like it will never work.

Also, the Qobuz Windows app works quite well with Wine, but requires some tinkering. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=42813

I was wondering about that too, but I guess it’s a bit of both. From What’s the difference between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Think about it like this. The Fedora project is the upstream, community distro of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux. Red Hat is the project’s primary sponsor, but thousands of independent developers also contribute to the Fedora project. Each of these contributors, including Red Hat, bring their own new ideas to be tested and debated for inclusion by the larger community into Fedora Linux. This also makes Fedora an ideal place for Red Hat to put features through its own distinct set of tests and quality assurance processes, and those features eventually get incorporated into a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
