Rocky Linux 9.5 Available Now - Rocky Linux

Rocky Linux is an open enterprise Operating System designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Enterprise Linux.

@paul What I don't understand is why Apple makes the storage modular if it's not going to be user-upgradeable. We saw the same thing when the Mac Studio came out, and it was rumored that Apple would start selling upgrade kits, but that still hasn't happened.
@oopsallnaps I just wish web developers properly implemented the ā€œalternateā€ meta tags to let visitors know RSS feeds exist for the site. I’ve been surprised at just how many sites don’t do that these days.

Perhaps that’s the reason it was removed from most browsers.
@samhenrigold I just saw some reports about a surge in suicides among the queer community since the election results were announced.

For anyone struggling, please know that you still have a very large community here and around the world that loves you. It may be difficult, but as Kamala said in her concession speech, the fight is far from over.

You can also personally reach out to me. My door is always open.

@paul I haven’t found one for non-Pro minis yet. I ended up going for the M4, 24GB, 1TB configuration. Should be plenty for my needs regardless.
@fraying I think it’s hard for all of us to muster up encouragement to say something positive/motivating right now, so you’re certainly not alone.

Kamala’s concession speech was both heartbreaking, yet motivational. She had a way with words that just made me respect her even more.
I’m a big Linux fan, but I’ve decided to switch to macOS as my main desktop. I’ll of course still keep using Linux in my home lab, though.

I’ve been getting so frustrated with all the weird and annoying problems I keep running into when I try to use Linux on my main computer. It’s not distro-specific, they all have their quirks. I’ve managed to fix most of them, but it’s become a game of whack-a-mole that I’m not willing to continue with.

I am NOT willing to go back to the mess that is Windows.
I’ve voted! Have you?

Do your civic duty and get out to vote today if you haven’t already!

@nileane I exclude messaging apps from summaries because it tends not to work well. I also found that notifications from my security cameras don't work well with summaries. The same person can trigger the camera multiple times and Apple Intelligence will say something like "3 people were at your driveway".
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Brave is a sketchy company. Forget the fact that their CEO is a homophobic crypto bro; they riddle the browser with ads by default. It’s ironic, don’t you think? I guess everyone also forgot the time when they were injecting affiliate parameters into shopping links.

If you’re going to use a Chromium based browser, just use
@Vivaldi and turn on the ad and tracker protection. Otherwise, use Firefox, which is not difficult to harden.
