I won’t shed any tears for Trump if and when he bites the dust, but it would’ve been far worse if the assassination was successful. It’s not like the far right and Project 2025 would just disappear with Trump, not to mention guys like JD Vance are quite capable of taking his place and with less baggage.
Streaming services like netflix and prime helped reduce piracy to all time lows. But then corps started getting stupid again and making their own exclusive streaming services, requiring you to have 20 subscriptions just get all the same shit you had with 2. Now drm enforcement on top of that and piracy is back on the rise…
Agree, i have rarely seen people who actually use adblock outside my work. I had to practically tie up my entire family, in-laws included to get ublock installed on all their computers.
But is ‘leftist’ actually a belief system? Left vs Right seems to me to be a political construct applicable to the individual country in question, if it can even be applied at all.
Another words, i guess I don’t see the point of assigning “tankies” to left or right.
Correct me I’m wrong, but i think in practical sense of real time kernels is that you could have a program take over much of the processing power, limiting your ability to multi task. I believe this raises security and stability concerns for every day use, but is fine for Audio.
Keep in mind you can have multiple kernels installed and just choose which one to boot into. This way you can save the rt kernel for your audio stuff and then switch back into the normal kernel when you’re done.
As an anecdote, I use the Scarlet with Guitarix and dont notice any difference between the RT and normal kernel myself. Both have had little latency for me and the RT Kernel seemed stable enough. It’s possible you may have something running the background that’s holding you up in the normal kernel. Read the Arch Wiki article on performance enhancements for Audio https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Professional_audio
Hmm, not quite that bad but me, but i did notice some weird hangups and switched back to xorg.
General rule for me is at least once at week ( though I’ve had a laptop go almost six months last year and was fine post update ).
I would also recommend updating prior to installing any new software.
Meh, kinda depends. Most issues I’ve had with Arch are related to bugs with apps rather than system breakage (looking at you early Plasma). Overall Arch is stable and issues are resolved quickly, though sometimes you may need to avoid major software releases for a while.
Yeah idk, many distros show the classic startup/shutdow process
Agreed, Linux is better, but still good to know how to work with Windows
Theoretically yes, that would be an sql injection. SQL Injection is preventable through good practice, but with added complexity of the application comes more chances for things to be missed.
In some ways, it’s good that lemmy is going through this now and getting vulnerabilities exposed sooner than later.
Just installed windows on a new hardrive and even that muthafucker couldn’t get the audio driver to work properly!
Browsing lemmy with a 2 in 1 Riced Arch laptop in bed…
Windows drivers can be hell at times, even more so than Linux.
Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be… Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.
Been using Arch mostly for 12 years here. It has always ran the best out of the box next to Ubuntu/Mint for me. And Arch seems to age even better than Ubuntu after a few releases break your shit.
I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.
Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.
I just used the Arch Install script last time, does that make me a bad person?
Lots of people overestimate their marksmanship capabilities. 150 yard headshot with open sights on an AR? It’s doable but harder than people give it credit for.
