Yeah i woyld have entered right the second time. Numlock was off and it is a simple pass. The best i can tell is kde issued a buggy update to their de. Thats why the logon screen looked different and why issueing an update comand fixed it but reset my desktop settings.
The possibility of a TikTok ban is inching closer to becoming a reality at this point. On Tuesday, the Senate passed the bill that would bar the social media platform from operating in the U.S. unless ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, sells its stake....
I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...
I am not a member of the Anti-Snap crowd (although of course the server sources should be open source), but there is obviously a lot to improve. Flathub/Flatpak should also take note!
Whats really bad for cops is if they get mental help that is used as proof they are unfit fir duty. Yes a cop getting help to better handle their job is treat like a bad cop.
Add to that most cops are trained to always be on red alert. Always be ready and willing kill anyone at anytime. Everyone not a cop is an enemy soldier.
Microsoft will easily provide all of a consulting companies employees with free Azure services, Office and other discounts if they enter in an exclusivity agreement to sell their tech stack.
I never thought about that. my job we use some software made by oracle. I have wondered how much it would cost to make a linux version or wine compatible

OH I asked a question like that not to long ago. Appimages do tend to be smaller, they have sandboxing, and getting updates can be hard. Sometime you have just download the new appimage and delete the old one. Other then that is does serve the same function of universal install format.
Recently I am considering more and more moving my primary pc to a Linux distro. Somewhat for privacy issues but also to have more control over my system and to reduce the amound of advertising that windows keeps cramming in my face. Specifically I’m looking at Zorin. I was wondering what thoughs people here had on it....
nothing wrong with Zorin. If you game on steam and want a very windows like experience it will work. It was my running up when I went into Linux. The only reason I chose mint was mint had a bigger subreddit and I knew I would go there or tech support.
