Thank you for verifying 🙂

Hm, my guess would be either “cube control” or “cube C-T-L”.

EDIT (2025-02-28T09:02Z): Hm, actually, given that it’s for Kubernetes ^[1], maybe it’s “koob control” or “koob C-T-L”… ^[2]?

Do you mean /ɲiɲks/?

Here are the sounds for each:

• ɲ ^[1]
• ŋ ^[2]

No ^[1.1].

EDIT 2025-02-28T10:17Z: Actually, @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org, I was wrong in my initial interpretation ^[1.2]. So, from what I can tell, you are, in actuality, the only one itt! 😊

…it’s not “curl”?

EDIT (2025-02-27T04:15Z):

cURL (pronounced like “curl”, /kɜːrl/) […] [1]

🤔

the streaming in an SS uniform […]

Do you have a source?

A likely comparatively barebones (but sufficient for my needs) solution that I use is Obsidian with Synching.

What specific features are you looking for?

Can you ping the Jellyfish server from the laptop? Can any other device access the Jellyfish server?

👍 😊

Imo, one’s level of physical experience with something doesn’t, on its own, necessarily determine one’s qualifications. I don’t really believe that there are necessary specific qualifications that determines if someone is qualified or unqualified to state an accurate claim or form a sound argument. I believe that such mindsets risk the creation of appeals to authority. Imo, atomic claims are either correct or incorrect. What’s important is how they are stated ­— was it stated factually? was it explicitly prefaced as an anecdote? were its risks outlined? I think that you stating that your perceived inexperience up front is a good way to express the 3rd possibility, and I appreciate your transparency, but I don’t think that makes you unqualified to say what you said.

I’m unqualified to give any advice here […]

What makes you think that?

I use KDE Plasma on my desktop and GNOME on my laptop — though, by my experience, GNOME has been mildly annoying. I just find it too “restrictive” when compared with KDE. I’m also not super fond of how some apps seem to integrate rather poorly with GNOME. I do think that GNOME’s interface works well with a laptop, but the UX hasn’t been the best for me. I have few, if any, complaints regarding KDE.

At least with Windows, most people know what its normally like at home, but thats less true for Linux.

Yeah, that’s a fair point that they wouldn’t have a comparison, so they wouldn’t know if it’s always like that. One could perhaps make an educated guess, depending on circumstance, but, without any first-hand experience or exposure, it would be just that: a guess.

Hm, but I’m not sure people would attribute that to the design of the underlying OS itself rather than just the employer. Like do those people with restrictions on Windows blame Microsoft? It’d be the same as someone blaming the Linux maintainers for employer placed restrictions on an OS running Linux. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure someone would still do that, but I’m not convinced that the majority would think that way — I think most people would be able to make the distinction.

I still expect it to be done in the open, one of the things Munich got right was upstreaming all their changes, which meant that even when it was cancelled, nothing was lost. Maintaining out of tree changes is just way to much work

Would you be able to cite a source for this Munich program? I’d like to read more about it.

Only the end-users would have rights to the source under GPL, and its unlikely that someone is going to risk their job by releasing the code.

Fair point. So I suppose that would be the employees using the distribution rather than the entire populace.

Edit: on the GPL front, GPL doesn’t require that you publish your code to everyone, just to the recipients of your binaries. And you only have to give it upon request. So they definitely could keep it somewhat under wraps if they wanted to.

When I said “hidden from the public”, I was meaning refusing to disclose the source code even when asked. I do wonder how the laws would apply to government organizations violating copyright 🤔. Like what if it was the OS for some defense system? I’m not sure a government would be too keen on disclosing that — even if it was requested though some sort of freedom of information request (if the respective country has that) — and would rather classify it and refuse to disclose regardless of the license. I’m not aware of any precedent of this.

[…] but its never a nice experience […]

Why’s that?

Based.
