Precisely. It’s not really about system performance anymore, which just leaves the workflow benefits once you get used to it. As you point out, when using keyboard shortcuts thoroughly, the WM behaviours just make sense.

Command-Tab, Tab to select the app for foreground, Command-N for a new window. Combined with Command-Space for Spotlight (or Alfred/Raycast) it’s all very quick and seamless.

Starmer has a long history of authoritarian tendencies, he’s always sided with the police or establishment powers, even when there was public outcry over the circumstances. He’s going to bend to whichever powerful spooks are pushing for this.

Most notable are the cases of Ian Tomlinson, Student Fees Protests and Jimmy Saville. Generally though, he’s been in favour or instructed his party not to oppose the introduction of greater police powers.

Man is a snake.

> Every single running UI app needs a window.

I’m sorry, but this is false. The default/conventional behaviour is for apps to keep running even if all their windows are closed.

There’s actually a toggle for this behaviour on the app delegate.[0]

You may be thinking about LSUIElement, which is loosely related, but doesn’t mandate that windowless apps must quit. [1]

I’ve been very happy with the Fedora Atomic spins overall. Bazzite is a great starting point if you also care about gaming.

It’s easy to stand on the outside, pissing inwards, isn’t it? So thanks for the sweeping generalisations and absolutes, very helpful.

Since you have made no point so far, only offering spiteful generalisations and offence, I feel my lived experience is a good a counter point for those who may scroll by and want to see an alternative view.

Counter point: the NHS saved my life last year. I’m glad it exists and I’m grateful for the amazing people who work at its front lines.

More and more I see articles and videos about programmable SFP modules which can be used to directly connect devices like UDM to GPON/XG(S)-PON networks, completely bypassing the ISP provided ONT.

You may well find something that fits your situation with a little searching.

People do this with all sorts of things, but ultimately want validation that they made the “right” choice. At least that’s the most charitable assumption I can make.

This is glanceable from (and permanently resident in) the status bar and isn’t a TUI app. Although one may not see those as advantages…

Just hating Windows and wanting to use a beefy dedicated GPU/CPU (not a flimsy feeling Chromebook) is more than enough reason

I have a number of quality, 3rd party USB PD rated cables which work without issue on iPhone 16, iPad Mini 6g, MacBook Pro. Both with and without 1st party chargers. Admittedly the options for consumers in the USB-C space are a confusing mess, but I’ve never had problems with stuff from brands like Ugreen or Anker where USB-PD support is specifically advertised.

I don’t think the guidelines need to be carted out here. Parent was making their argument reasonably, maybe you just dislike what they’re saying?

> Why does this even need to be spelled out...

Indeed. Why did you bother?

Duravit aren’t cheap, but are much cheaper than Toto (at least in the UK) whose pricing is kinda outrageous.

Having ISDN whilst most of my friends were on 56k made me really appreciate it. It connected silently and almost instantly, ping times were low with virtually no jitter, it was a consistent 64k whilst also leaving the phone line available (a boon for parents and kids alike) or you could use both lines for 128k. Fond memories.

> that’s on you

They’d be dead, doubt it’s a concern at that point.

Pot. Kettle. But just Linux for you, right?

Hardly the same.

Your day to day DNA “leavings” aren’t neatly packaged up and associated with your other PII like name, location, email address, etc in a stolen, searchable dataset.

You’re not considering that the more muscle mass you have, the higher your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which means you burn more calories passively by just existing, let alone what you burn during exertion and recovery.

Nobody should follow this advice. Not least because you (the person giving it) wouldn’t have to live with the consequences of following it, but mostly because it’s idiotic.

That problem is solved by the Bootstap Token in modern macOS and MDMs which support it. The token gets escrowed with the MDM during enrolment and can be used to unseal the volume for updates without prompting for a password. Good for unattended updates to kiosks or whatever.

On macOS you can use pmset with the DestroyFVKeyOnStandby option to ensure that FDE key is purged from RAM on sleep.

Yep, it’s called Power Nap.

Macs work well in enterprise and get better with each major release. If you’re referring to a completely air gapped lab environment, then not so much; most of the management functions are designed around having outbound internet access.

Don’t forget the dual Thunderbolt/USB 4.0 ports which can also do point-to-point networking at about 40Gbps. Planning on building a 3 node Proxmox cluster using TB as the fabric for Ceph and cluster traffic.

Truly fantastic machines.

There’s a green or blue icon that gets displayed in the menu bar when something is recording the screen/audio or using webcam since a few major releases ago.

Corps can’t silently allow apps to have screen recording access. The user still has to allow the app access when it requests it.

They can allow/block list certain apps from ever being allowed, but it’s still up to the user to enable it via an interactive prompt.

This just adds to prompt fatigue, which is already bad enough. Users don’t read this shit, they just get annoyed by it and blindly click Allow.

They didn’t. Most orgs run with at least an n-1 Sensor version, with test groups for latest. This was essentially a definitions update pushed by Crowdstrike to all customers, regardless of the deployed sensor version.

Would love to know more, maybe some pointers to tools/utils for getting these more difficult games going. I haven’t had the time to go further than using Steam and Lutris, which covers most of what I play, but would be good to have more options.

I don’t think that’s what they mean. I just read it as all the political parties that have been in power or in office.
