Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
There’s that, but I’d really like the Jensen Trilogy, to be a trilogy.
Maaaan.
Embracer was doing so well, just letting good studios do their thing.
Then they just completely shat the bed financially, bought up orders of magnitude more than they could afford, and got surprised when they had to sleep in it when money they didn’t have, failed to materialize.
I want more Deus Ex so bad.
My guess it just doesn’t evict stuff from before the suspend, starts re-loading stuff after the resume, which makes the apparent amount “used” go up.
On a normal linux system, “free” RAM will over time drop down to zero, as the kernel puts the extra memory available to use. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t room to evict less-needed stuff if necessary.
AFAIK linux only starts actively evicting RAM once it fills up.
Like the other guy mentioned, drill down and see if yiu can find the actual program causing the problem.
A VPN provider can potentially log every site you visit, just like your ISP.
The actual benefits are mostly practical, being able to access streaming services and other sites from other countries.
It does hide your IP but this isn’t as big a deal as you might think, and moot, if the ISP logs your activity.
It does not provide some special extra layer of encryption. It does encrypt the traffic, but most of the time, it was already encrypted anyway. The vast majority of internet traffic is.
I think the joke is that that is literally what coding, is.
Maybe? There are ways to limit what apps are able to access the internet. Rooting, or installing a Custom ROM may be possible on your current phone.
I won’t break entirely. It’ll probably mostly work, but a lot of systems in normal android phones do rely on google play services.
Definitely. FOSS apps tend to be entirely local, not phoning home unless there is good reason in the context of the functionality of the app. At the very least, they will more often than not still work, if denied internet access. This doesn’t mean good commercial software doesn’t exist, though.
A VPN is probably not necessary for your privacy. Using one is potentially even a privacy risk, as you then need to trust the company providing it, in addition to your ISP. Your actual internet traffic is encrypted either way, unless you visit websites that do not use HTTPS, which is extremely rare nowadays.

We sure did, others have already commented.
Neat!
Welcome to lemmy!
I don’t think there’s any effective difference between timeshift and snapper. They’re both essentially just GUIs for features supported by the underlying btrfs filesystem.
Timeshift backup to another disk, is just rsync.
Why would you not condone it? A 17-year-old, is a “kid” to anyone about a decade older than that, but they also don’t just magically stop being “a kid” on their 18th birthday.
Most people enjoy sex, and most teenagers have an intense drive to explore it. What’s wrong with that?
Tell em how to be safe, maybe throw in some guidelines on place and time, and how to not disturb others with it, and let em.
But why would you not condone it, unless one of or both of the people involved are abusive or being taken advantage of?
That the adults related to the teenagers, feel it’s icky, has nothing to do with anything.
Sure.
But there’s no program that just creates a handy partition image. You’ll have to get into the weeds of how your filesystem actually works.
I haven’t found anything that is quite like Macrium. Mostly, because something that works the same way is a bad idea on linux. Because as you suspect, an image backup cannot be done while the partition being imaged is live.
Macrium creates restorable images of your entire boot partition or disk, as-is, which can then be restored onto the same, or an entirely different, disk.
This isn’t really something you can do in linux, with a system that is live. Hence, partition images should be done offline, when the given partition isn’t booted.
That said, everything that matters can be backed up simply by copying the relevant files. For this, I use Kopia.
As for making sure you always have a bootable system, for this I use Timeshift on btrfs.
For MS office, you might try winapps. Sounds like what you’re hoping for.
Yes? Exactly?
Which is why I’m so fucking confused by you telling me I have nothing to worry about. I’m using “small IPs” to refer to those parts of Ubisoft. People, studios, and art, alike.
Why in the world would I be worrying about whether the relevant legal constructs continue to exist on paper? That OBVIOUSLY isn’t going anywhere, what’s at risk is the relevant studios, and people, behind the art.
I’m literally commenting on an article about potential layoffs. When I said I’m scared for Ubisofts smaller IPs, I’m obviously referring to the possibility that the people that work on them might lose their jobs.
Looks at Titanfall, Gravity Rush, The Evil Within, WipEout…
What are you on about? Ubisoft has a bunch of tiny IPs with high quality games and talented studios behind them.
How does someone still owning them help, if they axe the people who make them great in the first place, the franchises themselves likely to never return as we know them?
What do you mean “I have nothing to worry about”?!
Oh they’re happening.
What exactly the new management will consider waste to be cut, remains to be seen, but Ubisoft actually has a ton of smaller IPs that I am REALLY scared for right now.
Unless this means they get axed as “superflous”.
Bot is back.
GoComics changed some stuff around so had to fix a couple details to match. Back to posting daily.
Sure! Just install SteamOS, and the verified Sony games will run just fine!
What communities are you frequenting?
The ones I sub and post to have been nice.
