I love how no matter how much the market makes it explicitly clear that an idea is absolutely terrible, Microsoft will just be like, “we’re doing it anyway, fuck you.” The best argument for Linux is just to gesture vaguely at Windows.

Protecting their own.

There’s is already an operating system like that.

This really depends on how you installed. Some partition types are easier to resize than others. The most important thing to do is backup everything important before you do anything.

Then boot to a live CD and you can use something like gparted or KDE Partition Manager to delete the NTFS partition and resize your Linux partition.

If you have a spare drive with enough space, it’s a great idea to take an image of the whole disk using Gnome Disks. That way if anything goes wrong, you can restore to the point you took the image.

Look up a tutorial on how to resize specifically your partition type (luks, ext4, btrfs, etc) with KDE PM or gparted. That should inform you of any caveats you should be aware of beforehand.

Preferably image the whole disk to some file on another disk so you can unfuck anything that gets fucked.

I mean, fuck Reddit, but fuck Twitter more.

When were you a kid? There was a vending machine in an ice rink when I was a kid in the nineties that exclusively sold candy, and the sour candies were always sold out by the time the guy came to refill.

Because it is. Who wants to pay $120 a month on streaming services you barely use?

Wow, you weren’t kidding.

I didn’t say basic. I said bad. HTTP 1 is a good protocol. ActivityPub is not. Read both the specs if you don’t believe me. I have.

There’s not a single point in HTTP 1 that I thought, “what the fuck does that mean?” There are several in ActivityPub. ActivityPub also has several areas that are ambiguous. Ambiguity is bad in a specification.

ActivityPub tries to support everything, and has no defined behavior for when a client doesn’t support whatever thing it just received.

It also uses JSON-LD, which isn’t necessarily bad, but defeats the purpose of JSON by making it too complicated to easily write by hand.

This is not easy to write, read, or parse, or build:

{
  "@context": {
    "name": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name",
    "homepage": {
      "@id": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/workplaceHomepage",
      "@type": "@id"
    },
    "Person": "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"
  },
  "@id": "https://me.example.com",
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Smith",
  "homepage": "https://www.example.com/"
}

Imho, ActivityPub is a bad protocol that tries to accomplish everything, and ends up being bad at all of it. The spec is also ambiguous in a lot of areas. And major implementations don’t always follow the spec. All in all, it’s a miracle the fediverse even works as well as it does.

I use Nephele through Nginx Proxy Manager.

Fedora, but I wouldn’t say I’m in love with it. It frustrates me the least. No Linux distro is perfect, but they’re all better than Windows.

That’s not who I wanted to see dead at 74.

This is amazing and I love it.

Ha! That’s awesome!

Ok, hear me out.

We find the users with the slowest internet and start sending them all the data. They don’t have to keep anything on disk. Then they send it all back and forth between each other. Any time a user makes a request, we just wait for one of the slow nodes to come across the data and send it out.

We use the slowest wires for all the storage. It’s fool proof.

There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.

I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.
