@anildash@me.dmOne amazing thing about 2025 is that, if you start up an Apple product, it forces you to choose between _three different_ window mangers, but if you start up a clean install of a current version of Linux, it just chooses good defaults for you.
@michabbb@social.vivaldi.net🔧 Zero-config single executable setup - no tuning required for VictoriaLogs or the operating system. Reasonable defaults automatically adjust for available CPU and RAM resources. Much easier to set up and operate compared to Elasticsearch and Grafana Loki.

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaObvious inflammatory rhetoric.
Also, "because X11 did it that way" is the single stupidest reason possible for deleting a feature that has been standard on *nix platforms since the 1980s.

@jos@social.linux.pizzaThe #WordPress List View isn’t very useful by default with complex blocks. This experiment defaults to expanding 20 items more evenly across block levels, with options to change that number.
@cdarwin@c.imStarting in January, the Trump administration says it will
garnish the wages of student loan borrowers who haven’t been able to make their payments for at least nine months.
“It’s cruel and hostile to working people to turn the system on before we’re sure that we can run it in a compliant manner,”
says Julia Barnard, higher education team lead at the Debt Collective and former student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

@crell@phpc.socialSo, I guess no one has any idea how to fix Wayland vs. Chromium?

@datascience@genomic.social{ggblanket}, a wrapper around #ggplot for quick, explorative plots with sensible defaults and less code. https://davidhodge931.github.io/ggblanket/
@jan_j@chaos.socialTIL my preferred Browser @… actually supports JPEG-XL – and better than Safari, because it animates.

@laimis@mstdn.socialplaying whack-a-mole with app notifications that get enabled by default when you get a new phone. geez, how do people get anything done if they just keep the defaults!
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioA paradox I think about:
If advertising doesn’t work - why is that the business model nearly every internet business defaults to?
If advertising online is so lucrative, why are marketing departments all over failing to meet targets and struggling to show any results?
Everything is ads and none of it is working. And I’m just a lone marketer screaming in this forest of nonsense hoping some tree falls and hears me.

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itIf you're using #Debian 13 and you're wondering why the `ping` command has stopped working for non-root users... `apt install linux-sysctl-defaults` will fix that for you.
@penguin42@mastodon.org.uk'xxd' is a command that is both a hex dumper, and an undumper - i.e. it can turn the hexdump back into a binary.
Being able to go both ways makes it good for being able to edit a hex file in your favourite editor. Other tricks it can do are to generate a C array declaration with the contents. It defaults to hex numbered address (unlike 'hexdump' which confusingly uses octal!)
@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaI love how, on most Linux distros, you can just do an update and upgrade despite not having touched them for a long time, and you just wait for a little bit, potentially optionally reboot, and there are no nags or new things someone wants to sell you or settings that have changed back to vendor defaults. You just get on with what you wanted to do with shiny, freshly-updated software.
Arch-based distros have been the exception from the experience above for me, but I guess that’s the co…
@crell@phpc.socialI'm running into a really annoying render bug with the latest Kubuntu, which now uses Wayland. Anyone else seen this issue, and know how to fix it?
