When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:
sudo apt-get remove pythonFollowed by
sudo apt-get install python3Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not foundFor those wondering which xkcd:
Lemmy is great
And so are you
And that, kids, is how Linus fucked his Pop!_OS installation.
To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.
Tbh that’s Windows’ fault in crying wolf so many times for nothing
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
“Yes, I know what I am doing”
*system fails to boot
*surprised Linus face
Steps to remove GRUB on Debian: “doas apt purge grub-efi* -y” “doas rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/debian”
mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/(boot partition)Look at this guy with his fancy efi bootloader…
Edge is so trashy. It’s constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.
The way they promote it intrusively in every corner of windows they can manage is trashy too.
This is how I feel about Java vs Go/C#/etc
Which is java and which is C# lmao
Java is the top, C# is the bottom. The Java language designers consider unsigned integers harmful (and this). They’re basically saying “You could hurt yourself with this so we’re taking it away.” I find that patronizing and disrespectful. On the other hand C# and Go tell you, “Yo bro, doing pointer math and direct memory manipulation is not safe, but I’m not gonna stop you.”
I love that about C#. It’s safe and managed, but if you need the unsafe features for performance etc, then they’re available. It’s the best if both worlds, imo.
Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?
Honestly, I do love having the freedom to shoot myself in the foot. I should always have the freedom to brick my computer by being an idiot.
You can actually uninstall Edge, Microsoft just says it will break your system. Not a big deal, you can always reinstall Edge later via winget
Well you can still uninstall edge on windows, even if it break your system, you can do it. There are tons of guides you can find on internet. It’s basically running the installer with an uninstall flag.
Does it actually break the system tho?
Some functionalites are broken, for example some settings in the settings panel wont display, because it’s a react ui (mostly everything related to onedrive/online account), lots of software expect it to be present and use it (like visual studio). Git (to connect with oauth).
But a lot of things still works.
Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?
Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for “enhancement”?
I used edge for a while, but went back to Firefox after about decade of not using it. Love having extensions on mobile, makes browsing a lot better!
No, its not your main browser. [tries to gaslight]
You fr?
In terms of usability? Yeah, edge is good, especially if you are a fan of vertical tabs. After all, it’s just yet another chromium-based browser. In terms of privacy? Oh god no, given Microsoft’s track record it’s probably the worst browser out there in that regard.
Even if it was perfect and everyone should use it. The issue is that you can not remove (uninstall) it, which you should be able to do, especially for a browser.
