Those are update services. Upgrading your os is a basic security measure nowadays. You recommend to sacrifice some security because of a minor inconvinience. It’s alright if you can live with that tradeoff, but please don’t recommend it on the internet. Windows assumes a user is not knowledgeable enough about this topic, so it’s enabled for them.

Other hint, because it seems you are also not very knowledgeable about this topic, usually you can disable these things with group policies if you really want to, so you don’t have to run it after each boot. Or you can also set up a scheduled task or create a service with nssm.

Windows is messing with that. A feature of modern UEFI boot, that OS-s can change boot order. This can be useful, after OS installation you don’t have to manually change back boot order from the usb to the internal drive. The problem is usually windows like to reset this to itself…

Arch wiki has an article about this, try to set this options in your BIOS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Windows_changes_boot_order

I guess with the bios update some settings were reset to default, that’s why the behavior changed. Maybe reset your bios settings, and try to set up everything again from scratch, some old settings may be still active from the old firmware, etc.

I haven’t used any google services for ages (except yt and search occasionally), so I don’t follow it’s development

Excel is the one I don’t hate, all alternatives suck way more. Active Directory is also ok, but you have to click more than in a moba game, it can become annoying.

Posting here as there doesn’t seem to be an active Arch Linux community.

Your text says qemu-desktop is only “optional” for qemu-base. You can safely remove qemu-desktop, pacman won’t nag about optional dependencies.

For checking dependencies, I like to use pactree, it draws nice graphs in the terminal: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Pactree

I was in highschool in the 2000s in Europe, and msn was our default way of communication with classmates.

It’s incorrect. I have 2 AMD cards, I can detach it from linux before booting the guest. After I shut down the guest I have to log out in Gnome to make the card usable again, but no reboot required. It depends on how you set it up. I have a single 34" monitor with 2 inputs, connected to both cards.

I recommend to read about this topic, it would be quicker than waiting for people to answer, your questions were answered multiple times. I recommend the vfio wiki on the r*ddit a lot of good links are collected there: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index

Thank you for the clarification, I understand what is your issue now

It would be hard to get the context, and you could totally misunderstood the thread, e.g. from your hidden comment everyone get that replies are sarcastic, but you don’t.

Maybe an “temporarily unhide blocked user’s comment and replies” button to show the whole thread.

There are instances where downvotes are disabled, if you don’t like them you can just use an instance like that.

Downvotes are public and not anonymous, but they are hidden in Lemmy ui. Afaik you can see who downvotes your posts from Piefed or Mbin. See this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/18805474 or this: https://piefed.social/post/205362

Keyboard navigation. I know about https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation but it’s annoying that I have to use an addin/userscript for such a basic feature.

Option for default comment sorting. you can change the default sort only for posts, but not for comments, comments always sorted by Hot, and you have to manually change it each time you open comments.

In Voyager you can set this up, but it would be useful in the webui as well.

Workaround: use multiline code blocks with defined language, e.g:

systemctl --user cat emacs
pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

Drawback: you cant use it in a list or inline

There was a related news recently, that bitwarden and other pw managers will be able to sync passkeys between devices. Won’t that solve these issues?

It’s bold of you to recommend a google product in !privacy@lemmy.ml
