Correct. The non open source licenses, such as 'fair code ’ are not open source. They are available, but not open.
It dilutes the true meaning, and I find it a little nefarious when a company calls their code open, when it’s in reality available.
You can if you wish. You just choose not to. Like so many of us. If more did volunteer, the problem would disappear. It’s that simple.
Oh, hell no. We are absolutely tiny.
It’s very much a trust-based situation as we all work together and in a small team.
I would actually love to know how to handle remote shutdown of PCs and lock out and things like that, for as we do grow, we are getting busier, and starting to expand.
Our work is the opposite. As soon as a new machine arrives we go straight to BIOS at boot, switch the settings and install Linux immediately. Windows never sees the light of day. I do feel for you as we do do sales calls and in the middle of sales calls the people that we are calling have their computers reboot on them, do an update, or I’ve just got to restart and on restart it does an update and huge amounts of time are wasted on those people.
Windows probably costs the world millions a day in wasted, for time for shit like that.
Mystery solved. Thank you
I spent about two years trying and giving up to get my fingerprint reader working on my X1 Carbon.
Then chat gpt comes out and I ask that how to do it.
It gives me a one-line bash / script thingy, and my fingerprint reader has worked ever since.
That was a pretty cool day.
this is a gen6 e14. Thank you. That’s what I needed to hear. Turns out the intel has a bit more to it, will udpate my post. So undecided
Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.
Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.
Just get a Kobo. Don’t support Amazon surveillance
All our business uses. Libreoffice is great
Awesome. I’ve been looking for a web svg animation tool
I want that image on a shirt
I worked in a first party, AAA gaming studio, back in the day.
We had the Maya sales dipshits, and a handful of Maya developers come to our studio, to ‘listen’. Maybe 5 or so in total. How they can improve, and help us, kind of thing.
Our tech team ripped them a new asshole. Asked why 5 year old bug X wasn’t fixed, when our internal team created a workaround in a couple of days.
Read them the riot act.
They made sympathy and apology noises.
They left. Nothing happened.
Just total corporate, bullshit.
They just, don’t, care.
Just because they’re a for profit corporation, doesn’t mean they’re going to deliver.
They’re not in trouble. They’ve just become used to fat wads, and that’s ok.
Every corporate clamouring over them the last few years, to show how inclusive they were.
So, once you get used to that, you get used to that.
That’s all it is.
Celeste. Are you here? In a future search maybe?
Thanks for the reply. It does not show up in lsusb as far as I can tell. Unplugging and pluging back in shows no difference in output. I will have to maybe test it in another machine. I’ll ask about. Thanks for your time
Thanks for your answer. It is built in, but that does not exist in my file system.
Snap there still? If so, not even looking at it. Fedora and Debian I am thoroughly enjoying.
