Yeah it's basically Pulseaudio, but better. The devs have done a great job on iterating upon the already pretty good pulseaudio!

Yes, but you can also do it today if you didn't do it years ago :)

The amount of times my Windows installation(s) broke is just as high as the amount of times my Linux installations had issues. The article you quoted seems to be from someone with more Windows experience than Linux experience.

One example: FileZilla is a capable GUI SFTP and FTP client, but so is nearly every file manager. I can drag and drop files from Dolphin into a fuse mounted FTP, SMB or SFTP folder just fine. Skill issue?

EDIT: omg, I just realised they use WinSCP for deploying applications. It really seems like a skill issue since you can automate that even without proprietary clouds. I can probably replace this person with a PowerShell script, which is even more efficient than them doing their job on Windows.

All operating systems sadly need lots of maintenance nowadays. The main reason I use Linux is that I feel in control of the system and the vendor doesn't actively try to fuck with my installation.

Is that a fork of NixOS?

[–] Helix@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

NixOS according to my local fetish community.

We are really experiencing a cloud native generation. These Zoomers don't even know how life was without a cloud over their heads.

Or a funny one.

Sorry, I only know silly, goofy developers. Can't recommend this to anyone.

[–] Helix@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

No, they're not installed.

Once an admin I know forgot to install a text editor. Imagine the fun editing files with cat, grep, awk etc., now imagine you have to use it to browse the web.

How would that work on Arch Linux which literally doesn't come with anything out of the box?

And how would I add accounts or any settings without touching dotfiles?

What is the point in using a car if it has GPS, but no internal cameras or microphones? Metadata is dangerous, but far from the only kind of data.
