You can write a python script that procedurally generates email addresses for a given domain, tries emailing them, and if the server doesn’t return an error saying the account doesn’t exist, add it to the database.

It may take a couple of centuries/millenia, and you might have to deal with anti spam measures, but you’ll save $165/mo

The solution is to get open source into schools early. Idk how tech education is across the EU, but here in the US kids are usually introduced to computers as early as elementary school (but I think today they might be using ipads or chromebooks instead). In my highschool, we were required to get Microsoft office certification before we’d even be allowed to graduate, which pissed me off even back then.

I think this is an unrealistic concern. If that happened, every single person fired will sue the federal government for first amendment violation in addition to other things a real lawyer could probably point out. It’d be like the Kimmel situation x100, and remember that even some prominent Republicans pushed back against that.

Wtf is clash verge? Just use wireguard directly. Set it up in the KDE network manager app and it’ll automatically apply to all software on the system

You can, and should do that. Here’s what that looks like: toolbox run -c <toolbox-name> <command>

All of my development tools are in a toolbox, including my IDE (Sublime Text). I created a standard .desktop file so that I can launch it like any other application, and it works perfectly, with a proper Icon and everything. Example:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Sublime Text
GenericName=Text Editor
Comment=Sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose
Exec=/usr/bin/toolbox run -c devel /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text %F
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/plain;
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/applications/SublimeText.png
Categories=TextEditor;Development;
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=sublime_text

To run something on the host from inside a toolbox, you can use flatpak-spawn:

$ toolbox enter ...
$ flatpak-spawn --host <command> <args>

You can even use that to (awkwardly) run something in another toolbox using the same command above:

flatpak-spawn --host toolbox run -c <other-container> <command>

Sublime text specifically has support for custom build commands. Sometimes, I’m using it to develop something in a different toolbox than the one sublime is installed in. So in my custom build script for the project, I add a check to enter the correct toolbox before executing the build. Here’s what that looks like:

TARGET_TOOLBOX=example
source /run/.containerenv
if [ "$name" != "${TARGET_TOOLBOX}" ]; then
	echo "SWITCHING CONTAINER $0 $@";
	flatpak-spawn --host toolbox run --container ${TARGET_TOOLBOX} /usr/bin/env zsh -c "$0 $@";
	exit 0;
fi

#proceed with build...

This container/toolbox workflow is far superior to anything else, as it makes it trivial to quickly test whether your code works on a different distros/versions. It all just works with your existing tooling/local workflows once you learn how to work with the tools. There really is nothing you can’t do.

…and that’s for development, which is the most difficult scenario for this type of thing. For regular every day users, immutability just works without requiring people to learn anything new besides reaching for flatpak instead of apt/dnf/pacman/etc.

Discover is probably the worst app in the entire KDE suite. It’s the only aspect of the Linux desktop that frustrates me, and I’m nearing 10 years of full time Linux desktop usage.

Oh, you accidentally opened Discover? Now you gotta sit and twiddle your thumbs while it updates/downloads a bunch of stuff very slowly with no way to interrupt it. It also locks the system package manager, so you literally cannot do anything else package management related until Discover slowly decides to finish doing something you never asked it to do.

It’s a very high quality code base too, but not for the faint of heart.

Final nail in the coffin.

Qualcomm seems to be in a tough spot nowadays, so maybe they’ll be open to playing nice with others for once? One can dream.

If there’s a silver lining here, it’s that more pedophiles could get doxxed.

If Roblox is Epstein’s Island, Discord is Mar a Lago.

I first discovered Linux in middle/highschool back when Ubuntu was the hot shit and they had that awesome Gnome 2 desktop. I loved the vibes, but didn’t stick with it because I didn’t know what to do. Then just over the years I’d occasionally install it for a few days and give it a shot, learning more and more, even installing Arch Linux once (back when it was actually a challenge).

Switching to Linux was inevitable for me, I think. As the years rolled on, Windows got worse and worse while my understanding/confidence with Linux got better and better. I don’t remember what the final thing was that convinced me to finally go 100% Linux on all my devices, but I did around ~2017 or 2018 with zero regrets.

So I think that if there’s a path for people to learn Linux at a comfortable pace, without the trauma of going all in, they’ll also find it impossible to resist. The dynamic of Windows becoming worse while Linux becomes better is still holding strong.

Peter Thiel is a character who believes in a single world government using AI outside of any democracy.

Sorry, but your description doesn’t paint an accurate-enough picture of this guy.

Peter Thiel is a lunatic who believes that AI regulation is the anti-christ, and he’s currently one of the most powerful people in the world.

Earlier this year, Hector Martin resigned from kernel development because he claimed kernel devs were trying to sabotage efforts to get Rust into the kernel. While he’s been gone, it seems the pace of Rust integration has increased significantly, suggesting that maybe he was the problem all along.

Lesson: always push out egomaniacs who like to create drama more than they want to solve problems.

This is admittedly very cool, and I don’t support shoplifting even if it’s from an evil megacorp.

What worries me is that Cop Drone™ will start carrying a gun some day.

They do. The youtube studio thing automatically inserts a shitload of ad breaks by default, but channels have the option to customize it. When you see a video with annoying ad breaks, it’s because the creator didn’t choose to remove them.

I see you are a man of culture.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the point of this is to reduce overhead associated with virtualization (aka VMs). Few workloads are able to take advantage of the massive compute resources that a single beefy machine has, so partitioning it is the most efficient use of resources, especially in data centers where maximizing efficiency is important.

This article was written by an anonymous/throwaway Medium account. For all we know, it was written by a PR firm they hired. Corporate propaganda has zero credibility, and the anonymity makes it impossible to verify that it’s anything else.

And if anything, now that time has proven that Trump/Vance were, in fact, worse than everyone was saying, it’s further reason to hate Proton for using their influence/reach to support them. Did it help them win the whitehouse? Hard to say, but even in the best case scenario, it comes off as a lame, opportunistic move to advertise their services to MAGA and profit off political turmoil.
