Because why not 🙂

Because security.

I’m glad to see other people go into Linux for positive reasons instead of just hating Windows. What really got me was Compiz. Initially, it was all the crazy effects like wobbly windows, but soon I realized how much I liked the “Workspace” paradigm and then being able to customize things as much as I wanted. Then, the whole free software thing, distro-hopping, the great communities, etc.

I can’t find anything to anything to support their assertion that a E5300 is a “Pentium 2”, but the chip is from 2008, so it’s not relevant to your situation. Maybe they meant it was a Pentium from the Core2Duo time, but that’s still not a “Pentium 2”.

It also might not come on even for affected users. OP’s comment in the reddit post:

From gathering info on their issue tracker, the act of opening the video file but not grab frames is some weird usecase that is acting in weird ways. Additionally, the indicator light is turned on by the uvcvideo driver in a lot of hardware (yes, an attacker can theoretically watch you without you noticing). A possible fix for this is would be in the kernel itself, which should basically ignore the fd being open and only truly act when frames are grabbed.

All I said was “here’s a good use case for a truck”.

And all I said was it’s not a good use case for a truck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you don’t have a truck. As I said, I read your comments.

I still don’t understand your other issues. They seem like they’d be solved with a tarp and good garbage bags (that keep smells contained). I haul garbage and yard waste all the time in my Golf.

A truck wouldn’t be a panacea for your issues either. Truck beds also get scratched up and if you’re responsible you’d have to secure your loads.

You can’t make this argument while also stating in other comments that a truck is too expensive.

I’m pretty sure that’s not what autoremove does.

this is a notebook with an Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz (2 cores, 4 threads) with 8 GB RAM and installing and upgrading on xubuntu 23.10 was already really, painfully slow.

Have you put an SSD in there, or are you still running on spinning rust? In my experience, even a cheap SSD will make a huge difference.

I wouldn’t recommend installing a distro just to install a different DE. IMHO, you should be fine with cinnamon. I’m using Linux Mint 21.3 with cinnamon on an x201 (Thinkpad released in 2010), though I did up the RAM to the 8GB max. However, if you want XFCE, is there a reason you don’t want to use Linux Mint 21.3 with XFCE? If that’s no good for you, I’d recommend finding a distro that fits most of your needs right out of the box, maybe Peppermint Linux or MX Linux?

I think I’d still prefer to use a 3rd-Party TOTP app but at least Steam’s app adds some value by pushing a notification when you login.

I’m confused. An arm-band is not pants. Pockets are found on shirts/sweaters too. I guess compression shorts could be considered pants?

I know that’s the case in some markets, but I think it’s pretty close in most places. Especially when you consider the other expenses of ownership like maintenance, property tax, insurance, etc. I know in my situation, we have a few hundred dollars a month more flexibility by owning instead of renting.

In a pocket, an arm-band, or compression shorts, sure! I guess I don’t know where else it’d be.

I disagree. If borrowers are unable to afford a down payment, that almost certainly means they have very little financial flexibility, which is necessary when owning a home. Now, I’m not trying to blame borrowers for this scenario. They are living through an affordability crisis and are almost certainly affected by the housing crisis if they are renting (as opposed to living rent-free/light with family). By allowing zero down mortgages, it’s treating a symptom, but letting the underlying causes fester.

To each their own, but I prefer wired earbuds run under my shirt, especially at the gym. Then if I need to take one out or they fall out, they’re tethered to me.

As opposed to now, where I have to do a double take whenever I see a modern single cab. AFAIK, they are now special order and some models don’t even offer them.

I assume they were drawing the view with hatches up. If the scenario calls for hatches to be closed, there are greater concerns for a pedestrian than getting run over!

We’re not talking about one person, but the macro-economic trends in general. Many individuals will not follow the trend, as it represents the economy as a whole.
