When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that's what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:

sudo apt-get remove python

Followed by

sudo apt-get install python3

Only to be suddenly greeted with:

sudo: command not found

In my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.

[-] FederalAlienSmuggler@feddit.de 1 points 3 years ago

Pyenv is still a good option

[-] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Anaconda for example

And that, kids, is how Linus fucked his Pop!_OS installation.

[-] DrownedAxolotl@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 years ago

To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn't have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should've read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the "This app may harm your PC" threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

Tbh that's Windows' fault in crying wolf so many times for nothing

Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?

[-] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Can Edge be removed?

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

For VR Gaming, I installed https://ameliorated.io/ onto a fresh Windows 11. Seems to replace Edge with Firefox and more other programs with Open Source ones.

But what if you would do it manually? I guess on a Vanilla Windows its not even thaf easy or possible because Windows Updates tend to fix it. But i am just a Linux user who jist wants to play VR and not really use the Desktop

[-] azuth@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Snap, and just uninstalling a snap provided program is even easier. Or just getting the system to use your own non snap program as default.

Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?

I actually switched to Fedora from Endavour for the opposite reason. I hated shooting myself in the foot, somehow I always did that on whatever Arch thing I had.

xkcd 149

Lemmy is great

And so are you

Sorry, but how can I access this from a different instance? I tried searching the community but it returned no result.

[-] myrrh@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 3 years ago

The search function's really weird, was having trouble finding a community on a different instance as well. I think it works best if you remove the ! and everything after @. I went onto sh.itjustworks, went to the Communities tab, then all, then searched "windows_help" and I found it. Hope. that works!

Edge is so trashy. It's constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.

[-] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

The way they promote it intrusively in every corner of windows they can manage is trashy too.

I just wish they would have a package more suited for power users. I understand the why MS feels the need to treat consumers like idiots, some people truly are clueless and wouldn't have touched a computer 10 years ago when more user freedom was given. But I don't see the need to nerf the whole OS, and every variation, so that my nan doesn't delete system32.

But with the SaaS route the MS are pushing, I'm sticking win Win10 LTSB for as long as I can. I can't help but see things like pushing MS accounts on regular local users as anything other than laying the infrastructure for a more centralised SaaS approach.

I currently run an Unraid server on some old hardware, mostly as a NAS with some Docker containers. But due to the lack of processing power, I've actually been thinking about rolling my main rig and the server into one, then running Windows in a VM. Switching between OS easily would be good, being able to spin up virtual environments easily, and that way I can only use Windows for the things I need Windows for.

Now I've just gotta figure out, you know, how to actually do that!

[-] N00b22@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago

You can actually uninstall Edge, Microsoft just says it will break your system. Not a big deal, you can always reinstall Edge later via winget

Steps to remove GRUB on Debian: "doas apt purge grub-efi* -y" "doas rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/debian"

This is how I feel about Java vs Go/C#/etc

[-] SpookySnek@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 years ago

Which is java and which is C# lmao

[-] firelizzard@programming.dev 1 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

Java is the top, C# is the bottom. The Java language designers consider unsigned integers harmful (and this). They're basically saying "You could hurt yourself with this so we're taking it away." I find that patronizing and disrespectful. On the other hand C# and Go tell you, "Yo bro, doing pointer math and direct memory manipulation is not safe, but I'm not gonna stop you."

[-] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

I love that about C#. It's safe and managed, but if you need the unsafe features for performance etc, then they're available. It's the best if both worlds, imo.
