allywilson, to gaming in GAME staff discovered zero hours contracts move via mass Microsoft Teams calls

should be poofed out of existence

This means something very specific in the UK.

allywilson, to linux in Desktop Linux Market Share: April 2024

I’m always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

allywilson, to linux in Your first distribution

First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about…20-25 years so far I guess :-p

allywilson, to linux in looking for a way to block a specific program from using ipv6

I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

allywilson, to linux in How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle supposedly)

What’s the advantage of this vs running it in a container? github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX

allywilson, to lemmyshitpost in It would be simpler

You dropped this ’

allywilson, to technology in "Open Source Windows" ReactOS just got better GUI install setup, no GPT yet

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

allywilson, to linux in Top comment gets to choose my hostname

I wonder, what characters are allowed? $0 would be interesting, or even the fork-bomb classic.

allywilson, to linux in [Fixed] Fedora 39 keeps rebooting when left idle for a long time

OK, thanks.

I guess it’s worth confirming if it’s been a logout or a reboot as well. If you open a terminal and type “uptime” does the time match when you booted up or after you left it alone for a while?

Check the output of: dmesg -Tand have a look through: /var/log/messages

I would be focussing on errors, warnings and/or terms like “reboot, shutdown, logout, timeout, idle, etc.” to try to narrow it down what is happening and when.

Without sounding rude, are you sure it’s at the login screen and not the unlock screen?

allywilson, to technology in Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

allywilson, to gaming in Tetris world record broken - first time player reaches Kill Screen

“first time player”

He is not, he’s just young.

allywilson, to technology in Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

allywilson, to technology in Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

allywilson, to technology in Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.
