Didn’t knew that ! :/ I’m sure that wasn’t the case in the past (It was only called KMS at the time).
This is also why it still up and running on GitHub?
Edit: After a quick research I couldn’t find any info, do you have any reputable link to back your claims?
Edit2:
Where can I donate? MAS project doesn’t accept donations and it’s free. It’s because it’s a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
If this is your only concern, there’s a script floating arround on github (MAS 104k *) that activate any Windows version.
Not sure I’m allowed to send any links because this could be considerate as piracy and probably isn’t allowed in this community.
But you have enough keywords to find your way with any search engine if that’s a route you would consider.
I dont know if this could be your issue, however I had some strange big black shadows arround GTK apps. After trying all different possible themes, playing arround with config files, CSS… Nothing helped.
However, on the Archlinux wiki, they mentioned something interesting: The compositor.
While this really depends what DE and what compositor is installed on your distro by default, I got rid off all the strangeness by enabling something in the compositor.
I post someone’s comment on a controversial topic about google and GOS. I saved it because that’s exactly how I feel.
Step 1 of installing GrapheneOS for de-googling your life: Buy a Google Pixel phone
Look - I know, I know. I get it. Google allows you to unlock the bootloader while maintaining the phone’s unique and excellent hardware security features. The argument makes sense. It is compelling. Other manufacturers do not give you this freedom. I am not arguing about that. I have a Pixel phone running GrapheneOS myself.
However… It is just so very obviously ironic that one needs to trust Google’s hardware and purchase a Google product to de-google their life through GrapheneOS. I think that it is a perfectly valid position for someone to raise their eyebrows, laugh, and remain skeptical of the concept either because they do not want to support Google at all, or because they simply will not trust Google’s hardware.
The reason why I think that this is “controversial” is because I have seen multiple instances of someone pointing out the irony, followed by someone getting defensive about it and making use of the technical security arguments in an attempt to patch up the irony.
XFCE team here !!! Though I was kinda surprised they didn’t enable XFwm (as stated by arch linux wiki) by default and had some strange issues with GTK apps (big black shadow arround apps). Took me some time to figure that out.
If I had to chose I would probably go for KDE. Gnome is great and it’s nice to have alternatives that are so different and also up to date ! However, I hate GNOME’s design choice. I hate my Mac and Gnome feels to similar to even bother with it.
Not directly an issue, however I found NextCloud and OwnCloud to much bloated and not very responsive. I tried all the possible alternatives and they all had some strange drawbacks (proprietary database, chunked into some weired file format…)
Sure I could just use my nextcloud instance without all the possible add-ons, but I just wanted a simple and a reliable cloud service that just syncs my files between my devices without all the bloat.
My final argument would be that it is written in PHP… Programming language of the past ! While I’m probably wrong on this one and I do have no idea of the programming language realm and probably evolved over time, I do prefer something written in a newer more “secure” language.
So that’s why I settled with syncthing. It’s not a cloud service but a syncing service. It’s different but has the same purpose in the end with more configuration options on how/where and when to sync between my devices.
As a final note (cauz I remembered something) 3 years ago I had a really hard time to make NextCloud work properly, via docker, with my reverse proxie (Treafik) I had to allow it manually in a configuration file and still didn’t work great, but was probably my skill issues at that time :).
Yeah… An probably all big players have somehow backdoored their phone :/.
Thank you ! 😄
Thanks :) ! Could you tell me what use case/purpose such function can have from a dev perspective?
Very cool and nice share !!
I’m also an organize freak and also have my own bash script to loop over my files and encode everything to AV1 :).
While my script is ugly as fuck (not a coder here so I’m doing what I can XD) it works and fills my need.
I won’t use your script directly, however I will take inspiration of your bash script code ! That’s okay I guess?
Thanks for sharing with the community !!
Because $$$ !
floppyfw : turn a floppy into a firewall
Wait what? :o
Yeaaah I hate to admit it… But Samba is the only crossplatform sharing protocol that works with every OS… I wish I could switch to NFS.
Personal opinion here ! I think we shouldn’t think of setiency in a human way. Like every animal being can see but most of them don’t see the same way we are. Or trees can communicate with each other, but not in the same way as we are.
We should broader our spectrum of possibilities and stop thinking in a binary way when talking about the world that surrounds us.
It might be in a year, or maybe in a 100 years, but if machine sentience is even possible, it is inevitable.
I agree, not only is it inevitable it will also be our own demise. I think of it like our own body (at some degree) is protecting us from external threat to keep us safe. Specially now they are playing arround with neurons on SoCs. The question is not “IF” but “WHEN”. There will be a point of no return where AI will be infinitely more “intelligent” we will ever be, where it can feed it’s own data and controls everything related to information and change things to it’s liking.
Most people would say, just unplug that machine ! But what if It could spread through our own media and replicate itself through all our hyper connected space?
The limit is our own imagination. But if it wants to survive, It would know It should keep discrete and hide until the right time to strike. Because nobody wants to be a slave controlled by others.
Just my 2cent.
Looks cool :)
typing tests
How can I say… My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.
Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.
Or am I missing something here?

😂😂
I haven’t heard of Mathy, but it seems to be a math tool?
From what I gathered, miniconda is like pipx or venv. It’s able to create python virtual environments.
But I’m very new to all of this so I’m not really a good source. However after experimenting with either of them (venv, pip or miniconda) I found miniconda the easiest to use, but that’s also probably a skill issue.
I was genuinely asking because their could be something I wasn’t aware of because yeah I’m new to all of this. (proprietary, bugs, not the right tool…
You seem related to programming, maybe you could give me some pointers here?
Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.
Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…
If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.
I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:
One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.
Aren’t those mutual exclusive? Or is there a specific reason why they are directly soldered to the mainboard?
