I would have guessed that Ubuntu would install it by default since its a very common way to get stuff from the internet (when in the terminal), but apparently not (the other option is wget which is most likely installed, but that uses a different way to get the stuff).

You should be able to install curl with sudo apt install curl

It only at most auto logs you into the display manager or more generally into login. Then you still need to get root access to modify anything from there. Login would still be based on user password/key/whatever.

Having read poetterings blog posts a bit and he explains that the TPM2 based encryption is entirely just for system resources (basically everything under / with exception of /home). For home he still “envisions” (its already possible and not really hard with sd-homed) that the encryption is based on the users passphrase/key/whatever and not unlockable by anyone else than the users passphrase/…

So user specific stuff is tied to user keys while system stuff is tied to the system & OS.

To my understanding, it is exactly that. It allows upscaling(/framegen?) with cards that don’t support DLSS, in games that only have DLSS

nor can I imagine it ever happening.

Chief, MS has multiple internal only Linux distros and publically they have CBL-Mariner and I think another that I forgot. They are mostly used with Azure. They really aren’t that much more different to what I know to any other (common) distro out there

You misspelled “System and Service Manager”

Bruh, I read this as ELF instead of EFL and was hoping on learning something interesting about the format.

But then I started the TTS to read out loud and noticed it said E-F-L.

1. Hasn’t been happening on my Firefox
2. There have been reports on other browsers as well, so this isn’t a firefox specific issue (p sure I’ve seen some people that use chrome claim they had this issue)

Do NOT associate Mastodon stuff with that shit

I download noto-fonts{,-{cjk,emoji,extra}} and ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols{,-mono}

Apparently google doesn’t even offer new registrations anymore

But they also confirmed that every new/reinstall on the same device counts as a different install, aka another 20ct

whatever the Windows App Store is called.

Officially it’s called the “Microsoft Store” but I don’t think anyone really calls it that (Same with the “Windows Explorer” until they renamed it to “File Explorer” as everyone has been calling it)

The entire linux-firmware package is just a conjuntion of binary blobs from different vendos (one of with is AMD). This is nothing special.

NGL, I read it as “harass”, which is kinda ironic.

They arent suitable for gaming laptops while gaming. They are fine enough to just charge during light/no usage at somewhat reduced speeds.

I recently bought a gaming laptop. Specifically a Lenovo Legion 5 with a rx 6600. It has both the big powerbrick charger and can be charged via USB-PD, obv not at the same speed but it is an option that is available.

Well, it’s a Microsoft company. So… ya know, they have shit hit the fan so often they would just be in meeting permanently.
