The timing of the click captcha loading is randomized and it probably is looking for human-ish cursor movement? (Like you’re probably moving your hand in imperceptibly small ways that are difficult to replicate). Clicking before it loads and doing it repeatedly probably triggers detection.

Here’s an explanation

EXPLAIN SETTING UP AUDIO SOFTWARE ON LINUX TO ME OR I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DON’T DUMB IT DOWN INTO SOME VAGUE SHIT! EXPLAIN JACK TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I’LL LITERALLY FUCKING KILL YOU! WHAT THE FUCK IS cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority -4) ? WHAT THE FUCK ARE JACKD and QJACKCTL? DON’T DUMB IT DOWN OR I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU

But seriously I’ve tried getting some music-making/software synths/recording/tracking software together and every time I just bounce off of it because setting it up is just too much effort/out of my regular software wheelhouse/the documentation is like 5 decade-old forum posts with 2 replys.

I’d say so - since you’re coming in relatively cold you’re probably not so used to Windows that you’d get frustrated with how Linux works compared to it, and if you’re just using it for regular, everyday stuff like web browsing there’s practically no difference.

I’ve been running Linux in some form since 2012 - I installed Ubuntu 12 on my old laptop and played around with it - was a pain so I dropped it for Windows until like… 2015? Then I went full into it as I started getting into programming and whatnot.

I had fried gator and it was actually a pretty nice meat all considered - it had that “freshwater fish” taste that I kinda dislike but otherwise it was sort of a softer-textured chicken.

If someone you know has/if you have kids: car vaccumn. It’s thoughtful, useful, easier than stopping by the gas station just to clean out the family truckster, and you can find them for around $25 at Walmart.

% of the time I’m using nano to edit something in the terminal, and it’s usually something really minor. I’m using GUIs for the majority of my computing anyway, so if I need some robust text editing, I’ve got a bunch of easier-to-learn, easier-to-use options available, and that’s totally ignoring things like awk, grep, sed, etc.

One of the big buttons on that story is that in 1993, Los Angeles County Hospital had like… 2 incubators.

Psh. You posuer. I’ve converted my life savings to yuan notes and am now keeping them under the bed to reduce the circulation of cash in the Chinese economy.

But well… you might be right. Non-linux sysadmins probably think it’s not possible and just hand out windows or mac.

I mean even if you were totally knowledgeable about it (Imo, as a non-IT person) it seems like it’s a hard sell in terms of effort/value unless it’s totally necessary esp if there’s an established user base for Mac/windows.

I guess it’s mostly because Mac and Windows are just easier to run for most organizations, and IME as someone who’s never worked at a software company, IT teams don’t have any interest in admin’ing Linux for a small handful of users.

I mean if it’s the choice between Fisher-Price Linux in a decently good looking package or Windows in whatever (maybe entirely useless spec) machine your employer offers, it’s probably better to get the Mac for a lot of people.

The guy was pulling down 6 figures making everyone else’s life worse, so fuck 'em

“Pandora Papers Reveal Offshore Holdings of Ukrainian President and his Inner Circle”

Like seriously, you’re arguing that Ukraine’s liberal democracy is somehow better than Russia, when the point of liberal democracies under late capitalism is to strip all the copper out of the walls (privatize, austeritize, union-bust), everywhere, all the time.

I’m at about 3TB with about 1/3 of that being games. 1TB is HDD, 1 is SSD, and 1 NVME. I’ve progressively add more drives every time I re-install my system so there’s a bit of cleanup for me to do I guess

I mean it’s to the point that if you’re willing to install an operating system (a smaller sunset of computer users overall) , you can go with Linux no problem

Ah gotcha - well it always comes down to use case, imo.

Libre office’s filtering is far better though- being able to apply actual regex instead of Excel’s weird proprietary pattern matching is just so much better that I opt for it most of the time.
