@mrgrumpymonkey @itsfoss I guess you can just install few distros in a VM to try it out. If something goes wrong, only the VM image gets borked. You can even try fixing it if you feel brave (often it's just calling grub-install to the right drive).

@mrgrumpymonkey @itsfoss I just used the "manually assign partitions" (or whatever it was called) mode provided by Ubuntu/openSUSE/whatever graphical installer. Not sure how to do it with Arch's installer.

@mrgrumpymonkey @itsfoss I never reinstalled Arch over Arch, but I did reinstall other distros over existing Linux distros and I simply chose manual partitioning. Assign / to /, swap to swap, etc. Select the filesystems, check the box to format the relevant partitions. Then continue the install as usual.

@itsfoss "And I have find Ubuntu installer smart enough to "

This sentence is unfinished. Oh, and "have found" seems more fitting. (Disclaimer: I'm not a native speaker.)

@stmdvrnft @noelreports I totally expected a BTR. This is simply pathetic.

@itsfoss If you are interested in a particular site's history, you can just search for it.

You can even search history from the URL bar, but that only has a simple interface meant to revisit a previously visited site.

@sebastian_wagner @noelreports To a suicide drone, to be precise. They've been doing it for some time already.

@noelreports Most likely the exhaustion of one of the warring parties.

@noelreports Doesn't that go against the whole idea and against the reason people applied to the Legion?

@edri AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who keeps coming up with these ridiculous ideas based on the incorrect assumption that handling personal data doesn't have great and terrible consequences?

@dideldum @itsfoss "some intrusion detection and malware scanners"

Ah yes, CrowdStrike's marvelous software. It also ensures your PC doesn't go too fast.

@norbitor @JesienLinuksowa @arek @kuba @icd Do trzymania filmów warto rozważyć PeerTube - to część Fediwersum, więc w sam raz pasuje do Mastodona.

@itsfoss TF2 works just fine. Some games don't work at all.

@nf3xn Ukraine already has soldiers who are supposed to fight, but can't because they didn't receive weapons. Ukraine was promised more weapons than it received. Training is also a serious bottleneck; Ukraine can't train as many soldiers as it would like to. NATO help is invaluable here.

Eventually, Ukraine might find itself in a situation where it has enough weapons and training capacity, but not enough conscripted men. This is not today though.

@Watchdog_Polska Regularne pisanie wniosków o te same dane nie jest nadużyciem, tylko objawem niedostatecznej automatyzacji udostępniania i/lub przetwarzania danej informacji. Cieszę się, że znalazły się w raporcie fragmenty o podobnym wydźwięku.

@KalimarM76 @itsfoss Yeah, specialized proprietary software makes it hard to switch. Some of it works in Wine, but not always perfectly. Some of it has alternatives, but they can be inferior or require relearning.

BTW FreeCAD recently had a 1.0 release. I hope it will in time become a viable alternative to proprietary apps, just like Blender has.

@flohlaus @noelreports Casualties are more than just dead. Wounded, PTSD, otherwise ill...

@evacide @Erklaerbaer @eff @NPR Oh, right, there was something. I remember people got confused when suddenly their messages started disappearing because they only ever used the website, not the app.

How does Facebook chat compare to WhatsApp then?

@MoiraEve@mastodon.world @noelreports Not Russia of course. If someone would try to force Russia to clean it up, Russia would start claiming that it was Ukrainians who sunk the ships, not the storm, and therefore Ukraine should clean it up.

@philip_cardella@historians.social @eff @evacide @NPR It probably is. AFAIK the problem is that it protects only message contents, not metadata, nor user data like contacts. It also bugs the user to make a backup on Meta's servers until the user agrees and I doubt many users pick strong passwords or even any passwords at all.
