Is it still possible to add an extra key (in another slot) to unlock it with cryptsetup? Adding this extra key might beat the purpose of using the TPM but if you choose a long random key and store it in a password manager that should still be pretty safe right?

I am not convinced this will make people switch to Linux btw. That has been said about every new Windows edition. Especially in case of an ad supported free tier (as the article mentions as possibility). Then most consumers will just use that.

100% this. And if you expect people to discover the software they need on their own then you need a superb software discovery experience. AFAIK Ubuntu does not have that at the moment. I read they are working on a better software center but wonder if that will be enough.

Yeah it's false, at least for The Netherlands (as that is my point of reference). Maybe you can have the whole month off if you save up your days but the majority of the working population does do some work in August.

Time to switch to Wayland

There is natural overlap in ideology between the fediverse and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software so including Linux). The same principles apply like building something together without big corporations*. But that does lead to a rather narrow demography I'm afraid.

* I know a lot of big corporations ARE involved in the Linux kernel but I'm talking about the various distros in case of Linux.

That's too harsh imho (the power corrupts thing). Telemetry can be very useful (see how Mozilla lately solved a bug in Firefox related to a specific version of the Linux kernel) so I'm willing to believe their intentions were right. But I agree it's not a smart move and better to have made it opt-in taking the target audience of the distro into account.

I think the more 'tech heavy' communities do well. Linux for example feels about just as active as Reddit in terms of posts and comments. Football (soccer) on the other hand attracts only a fraction. The amount of traffic r/soccer gets is maybe not even desireable (in terms of server load) but the difference is striking. The only remedy is to post there more myself and hope others will too. On Reddit I only lurked there.

Certainly feels fast today!

Thanks again for all the hard work on Lemmy World. It feels fast today

Came here to ask the same thing. Whatever it is you expect it to be included in the ticket price already when they are this high

Thanks for the hard work on the upgrade! Much appreciated although I'm only using the web version (not needing specific client apps). Lemmy World feels quite 'snappy' when browsing now.
