I see you’re stepping up your repost script to not take credit.

How many tokens does that cost?

Reddit agents complaining lmao

Whelp... Good thing I've already started migrating my EXT4 shares to btrfs and zfs...

Why is she a Quacker?

Yeah, I wanted it to be my main browser in a year, but it probably won't be. Now the only other Linux WebKit browser I know is gnome web (epiphany), it isn't very good, though it also have good potential

I've heard those words before, and that's about as far as my experience with them goes. From the lock screen, I found options for

• Cinnamon (Default)
• Cinnamon (Software Rendering)
• Cinnamon on Wayland (Experimental)

I got everything working again, so it's too late to find out if one of those would've worked, but thanks for teaching me something new!

Edit: Oh shit! Selecting a different DE from the list brings me back to the same session? All my apps are still open when switching DEs under the same user! New rabbithole to explore! Any beginner friendly links to share?

(Oh how cutely innocent you are...)

Yes, but ai gives a lot of false positives. And when you see articles like this its hard to know if its a verified vurnebility or a potential vurnebility.

It was kind of the same with the old vurnebility test tools

All of these, presumably. The question is how many issue reports the maintainers of those two projects had to wade through to find those relevant twelve. And whether that took more work than they would have had to expend to find those bugs themselves or not.

It has a comparison table if you click the link :)

Again, I have no need though

I'm not asking why one would use NTFS.

I'm asking why there's yet another NTFS driver when there are plenty out there, with the ntfs3g proven robust.

The only way folks have been trying to implement it better is with native kernel code to replace the current buggy one.

I'm asking why anyone would use this thing instead of the ones I mentioned above, and don't say "because it's in Rust".

I don't think the author is saying "YESSS.. Use NTFS". Some people are stuck with NTFS partitions though, because they need to share with windows Machines or other reasons.

And if you are, its not a bad thing to have better options.

Would I format my second NVME to NTFS and use this? Nope.. But, if you're stuck with NTFS (or just not fully committed to Linux), transition technologies like this can help.

I look forward to the day that the last NTFS, APFS , FAT and HFS+ partitions on the planet are permanently deleted and replaced by better options. But, until that time...

Just why?

(And obviously, the human using the AI should confirm the vulnerabilities themselves first before handing it to the maintainers)

As much as I advocate for human written code, we should also acknowledge that AI has gotten way more competent recently, esp. on the coding front. I think security and vulnerability scanning, (maybe together with code review?), should be the few valid uses of AI.

Exactly.

AI is bad at a lot of things, but bug hunting isn't one of them. It still requires an expert human to be effective but it lets them review a lot more code.

I understand and respect that. In that case X11 is kind of dated. I believe Wayland on Mint is in a pretty good state now. Are you able to select a Wayland session on the lock screen? A Wayland session might bypass this issue altogether.

Twelve of them.

Real developers always compare themselves with competitors. It's standard operating practice...

Our company does it all the time.

And, we always love hearing feedback about our faults too (particularly from technical people), as it allows us to identify and improve.

That being said, I'm not sure if you've actually read the article, because, they're not really talking bad at all.. It's super positive.

And, I'd even argue its BETTER than positive considering that KDE was founded in 1996, and Cosmic only started development in 2021. Most projects struggle to get off the ground (thats 90% of the effort), and to have other competitors praise you for so many things, after such a short time, I'd LOVE to be on the receiving end. Even if we disagree.

When I started a major project in 2003 which went frontpage in a lot of news sites quickly, I loved to get technical opinions. If I hadn't of been bullied so badly by (the then) toxic part of the linux community at the time, I would have continued with it. The good news is that projects like Ubuntu adapted something similar to what I was developing, so it wasn't a waste.

Fortunately, the community has massively changed, and its a lot more positive these days (except for a small number of people calling everything slop).

uncovered with the help of AI

So, how many of those are actually real?

Long term? I'm open to checking out others, but I fear that reinstalling Mint or switching to a different distro without actually fixing the problem first would be taking the easy way out and passing up a learning experience.

you read the title entirely wrong, mate

How committed are you to Mint? I generally have fewer issues with CachyOS and other Arch based distros. Fedora, and Debian are also worth checking out. As for the desktop environment; KDE is definitely worth trying.
