That’s a bit of a flawed approach, at least if we’re talking about the average user. The average user doesn’t want nor shouldn’t need to have a deep understanding of the OS. If you’re a dev or interested in it, sure, it’s good to know, but asking the average person to have to constantly tinker with their OS is like asking people to diagnose their own illnesses. Sure, it would be nice if you knew medicine and why you were sick and how to cure it, but it doesn’t make sense to expect everyone to do it. Most people don’t care, and have better things to do in their life.

Redex@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how45·2 months agoThat’s why we need to switch to TempleOS
Ngl didn’t even notice it was covered until I read your comment
Redex@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.1·3 months agoI’m very confused about the significant drop in Apple users as well, but I’m not sure that it’s purely caused by a userbase increase. E.g. in mobile, for or this big of a change to occur you would need the userbase to increase by 38% and for none of those new users to be iPhone users. I don’t feel like that’s a realistic YoY increase in users at this late stage.
Redex@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.272·3 months agoI am very suspicious of the -26% Apple marketshare. It makes me feel like there’s more to this than it seems at first. There’s no way 26% of Apple users stopped using Apple devices within a year.
Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I’m not mistaken, so it shouldn’t affect this data?
I personally picked Mailfence, but I saw both runbox and mailfence are really good. Tho Mailfence is a bit more expensive
I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I’m actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.
Gotta also recommended porkbun for a registrar, had a great experience with then.
Why is the video so dark? I thought my phone’s brightness settings were off.
Ok that’s really cool. It looks like it’s really new? Like 3 months old?
If you’re working on a large project/product then sure, but VS Code is just so damn good, it’s so much fucking faster than IntelliJ, has so many more options and is typically just more intuitive to me. Whenever I can I typically use it.
Redex@lemmy.worldto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Your guide to moving away from Gmail and finding a new email service!3·4 months agoI just recently switched from gmail to Mailfence with a custom domain, and I’m pretty happy thus far. I looked into it for a while trying to find the best option, and Mailfence turned out the best for me. Tuta was too locked down for me and Mailbox just rubbed me the wrong way. Mailbox has had a known major security issue with custom domains for literally 7 years now and still has yet to addressed it, their webmail is extremely slow and buggy (would switch to German randomly), they don’t encrypt messages at rest (which to be fair isn’t too important, but a lot of other services still do it), and I’ve seen multiple reports of their support being sub-par. I feel like they’re probably still fine, but I just feel more confident in Mailfence.
My thoughts are the same, as long as it’s not so bad you can’t not notice it, I think it’s fine.
My personal experience has been frustrating each time. I’ve tried to switch over at least 3 times over the years, but I always gave up. This time, I installed Ubuntu and immediately had to spend 3 hours trying to get my Xbox controler dongle to work, but just couldn’t do it. Found a driver online that people said would work, it didn’t because it wasn’t properly signed, tried to sign it but the signing app just didn’t create the certificates needed. Gave up, I have Bluetooth so I’d live, though I’d rather use the dongle if I can.
I then immediately encounter another problem that couldn’t be fixed (for the life of me I can’t remember what it was exactly) and just gave up.
The previous time I tried it I remember that among other things, one of my main problems was the lack of clipboard history (which I use extremely often). I tried installing an app for it but all of them either didn’t work or didn’t work the way I want them to or I just didn’t like their look and feel.
I also hate the font rendering on Linux, it always looks blurry compared to Windows, and the double titlebars most apps have (e.g. Discord, at least on Ubuntu), I like my screen real-estate.

I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?
YouTube for one, and if you were to place two windows side by side you’d loose a lot of space on duplicate tab bars.
I never got vertical tabs, I just feel like I’m loosing screen real estate. For managing a lot of tabs I much prefer the Simple Tab Groups extension.
Redex@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•If AI can now speak Italian, it can certainly replace us...1·1 year agoI mean regular people don’t know how to read it, except if you randomly decided you wanted to. It’s pretty big culturally, e.g. the Baška tablet is a very important piece of history written in glagolitic that everyone knows about, and I’ve seen the alphabet randomly displayed in a few places, but nobody actually uses it today.
How would it look if you intermingled Hebrew and English in the path? E.g. C:\English\Hebrew\Hebrew\English\Hebrew
