demanding that we prove that we’re using copilot to generate code

Because that’s how one gets value right? It’s not because the tool is so efficient people WANT to use it even though they should not (e.g. due to commercial secrets)… no instead you force them to use it. /s

Still using X11 as I’m on Debian stable but https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Wayland might help.

I haven’t nor plan to… but it’s also worst and worst content and behavior so yesterday I request my data take-out.

I’m not sure if I’ll just stay logged-out (like right now) or plainly delete my account but either I’m preparing a way out.

I just wanted the machine to turn-on, work, and play some games.

And that was before the SteamDeck too.

AFAICT that’s supported https://rclone.org/onedrive/

Meta : I’d be curious to know the ratio of people downvoting the “Linux!” suggestion who actually do so from Windows.

thankful they’re like that

Yep, being humble is THE key to learning. If people assume they know, they discard advice from people who actually invested time to learn about a topic… then they end up in a terrible place due to them cherishing their own ignorance. Very sad but also quite common.

uncomfortable to switch environments on a daily basis from home computing to workplace computing

How so? Most people just use a browser and edit basic documents. Once those apps are started the OS itself matters little, basic things like copy/paste or alt/tab work exactly the same. Chances are at work they don’t even have the right to admin their machine so for “complex” things it’s out of their reach there.

video editor who steams professional Valorant

What about Kdenlive or OBS Studio for that?

work machine where I HAVE to use Office to collaborate?

Taking the bait, what is specific to Office that is needed?

By far most people want to use windows.

Do they though? I’d bet a significant share do not “want” to, but they are stuck there, convinced there are no viable alternatives.

Linux is so difficult you guys, no one could possibly learn the command line.

In the vast VAST majority of “normal” use cases, which I’d argue for most people it’s :

• Web browsing
• watching videos or listening to music
• editing text documents, spreadsheets, presentations
• playing video games
• managing files, e.g. moving them in directories, compressing them, etc
• keeping the system up to date
• using a printer

there are reliable ways to use a GUI. So… even though IMHO the command line is absolutely worth learning, one can perfectly use Linux my “just” clicking their way around.

There are also no alternatives to it either

Just curious, what is it?

I don’t take any news written in English with any seriousness for these two countries.

Where do you get trusted news then for these two countries?

Ah! Thanks for sharing those visuals!

DataHand, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataHand

Yep, typing this on a Corne-ish Zen. Funnily enough saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bTI6WUJxD4 yesterday and my first thought was “No. ALL my keys get to work hard!”

Absolutely. I learned about that decades ago as a teenager and never would I have thought it would still be useful today… yet, in 2025 if you want to do anything powerful, in the cloud, on your phone, even in your XR headset, it is STILL relevant!

PS: I project I’m contributing to on the topic https://nlnet.nl/project/xrsh/ ideas welcomed!

Yeah it happened to all of us. The console is powerful and it means when you mess up, it will have BIG consequences. One learns to test first before globbing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming) too much!

Very nice, I don’t seem to have that option available but I can right-click on a filename to open the file manager in the current directory. Good to know!
