@encrypted_past @GooningOnTumblr @gokusexoffendr @wlthdrawls That won't work since the hosted script is a small bootstrapper with privesc, 3 mirrors of the script and warnings about AVs and such

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@GooningOnTumblr @encrypted_past @gokusexoffendr @wlthdrawls Like?

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@GooningOnTumblr @encrypted_past @gokusexoffendr @wlthdrawls By reading it. I'm curious whether you have even bothered to read the oneliner's code, or *at least* feed it into ChatGPT. If you did, you'd know that it pulls the actual full script from Github and runs it, and does nothing else.

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@WVWWWWWVWWWWWVW @rpcs3 @KingJigglypuff Them stopping w10 support doesn't mean it will stop working immediately. It only means that when it does - it's your problem, not theirs.

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@erhfthser54210 @real_hotaru and they're either OEM licences - meaning as legitemated as the activation script, or stolen keys - meaning you are funding credential stealing or credit card fraud. pick your poison

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@GooningOnTumblr @encrypted_past @gokusexoffendr @wlthdrawls You can copy it from GitHub and - surprise - it's the same fucking thing. You don't even have a checkmark, you're just actually mentally challenged.

@Fallen_BC @brandynisgreat @ItzRoxyXD @JoeFerdan @DarkPLUNKI3 -read what it wrote back and said LGTM. On one hand, the forum is to blame here, but on the other, I thought it was common sense to exercise caution when using something you're not familar with?

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@Fallen_BC @brandynisgreat @ItzRoxyXD @JoeFerdan @DarkPLUNKI3 An average user shouldn't use the terminal at all. That's the problem Linux (and the community/wikis) actually have. The app store blocked him from nuking his system, so he read a fuckass response on the Ubuntu forum or something, opened the terminal, wrote something, didn't-

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@dzhumsx @brandynisgreat @ItzRoxyXD @JoeFerdan @DarkPLUNKI3 It was a momentary fuck-up with apt's package index. iirc it was on PopOS's side and Linus would ideally just wait, or it could just be resolved with apt update (although I think the app store ran that by itself so it didn't help)

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@brandynisgreat @ItzRoxyXD @JoeFerdan @DarkPLUNKI3 That's not what happened. Installing it via "clicking" simply gave an error. He then went ahead instead of googling the error tried to install via the terminal and suppressed multiple warnings about him doing bad things. How is it linux's fault that he didn't want to read?

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@feulf @antirez That's the reason for non-round values for storage capacity in Windows, too. Manufacturers advertise 1 TB (1 terabyte = 1000 gigabytes), but windows counts gibibytes, not gigabytes, but still labels them as "GB", because microslop.

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@feulf @antirez Wrong, 10.5 GB (gigabytes) is 10500 MB. 10752 is 10.5 *GiB* (gibibytes). Mega-, giga-, etc are SI prefixes and represent powers of 10; gibi-, mibi- etc on the other hand are powers of 2.

@Baldur_Vi @ibxtoycat "Our moderators have now reviewed" and it's probably a single minimal wage intern tasked with reviewing like 20 reports per minute so they just spamclick on those

My @discord account was permanently suspended for “fraud”, without any evidence provided.

My appeals declined, support tickets ignored for over 20 days now.

I am an indie game developer. Discord had my entire community, my work connections taken away for no reason.

@OrionBrowser and this is why kagi will stay irrelevant

@elyssovsky @pangram ai?

@choehau_ara be

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@choehau_ara do you maintain a list of these so they can be massblocked? would he handy

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@Duskiee0 @TheWolp The real problem with winget is the speed. It slowly pulls the installer - a lot of times with zero progress indication whatsoever - and then after it's downloaded, it sits there for a solid minute doing absolutely nothing at all. Only then it begins the installation. Annoying.

[Aether @AetherMagee]

@Duskiee0 @TheWolp It has its own repo. It can pull both from MS Store and from the dedicated winget repository
