I’d rather have a smaller but somewhat predictable group of peers I grow to somewhat respect and trust than being confronted by thousands of random strangers that are there for mere “engagemen” but not for helping each other out or saying nice things.
I tried Threads and it was horrible. Honestly not using Mastodon that much. But maybe that format is just not my thing.
Sweden had eduroam at airports, libraries, police stations, train stations and some other public place a when I studied there 10 years ago. It was amazing!
I’m way too late to this party. I got a Zenit Morning Wood while reducing my quiver as my grocery-getter/punptrack/cruiser board and it’s amazing! Not cramped like a street deck but I guess if I pulled myself together I could re-learn an Ollie on it.
Would be interesting to read some end user accounts of its usefulness- are there any? Personally I would like to run genAI stuff on my AMD card. Professionally I’d love to know if nVIDIA really can ask any price or whether alternatives exist.
I really miss repairable devices. Repairing the cracked screen of the iPad Pro I bought a few years ago would cost over 60% of the price I paid for the device. I would have gladly taken a thicker device if that meant it were repairable.
Any reason to use this over signal with friends and family?
Wow, this is super helpful! Thanks! I’m starting to feel like lemmy is more „home“
I was so sure I saw someone playing it in a video comparing performance between distros :/
That sounds like what I should play around with on my old X220 - thanks for also recommending a finicky option. I want more Linux in my life :)
This really resonates with me for the most part. I hate Reddit but it’s still the best I can find, especially for non-tech interests. At the same time nothing has felt personal for such a long time. On the 00s and early 10s I had forums that were mostly for a specific topic but they grew on me so I lurked their “off topic” channels a lot. I enjoyed it and felt like I belonged. Today it all hyper-optimized for maximum engagement, no matter how meaningful or enjoyable it is. A friend lured me into threads and I finally deleted it again two weeks in or so. I see nothing by people I care about but lots of bs from MAGAs or other idiotic takes that just scream “tell them how wrong they are” at me and I can’t take it any more.
No one picked up in the photo editing part. I guess I’ll look around a bit how the state of OSS tools is today. And what’s available as a flatpak maybe.
Thanks, that’s a great explanation! So in my terms, Bazzite is what I should consider for my daily driver, CachyOS might be worth fiddling around with on my “just for fun” thinkpad :)
Interesting, I’ll have a look! Any ad-hoc comments why it’s better than Cachy OS?
I’m starting to get the data hoarding crowd more and more. We have been taught this dream of “the internet never forgets” but people missed to mention that it’s on the average Janes and Joes to make sure that is the case. Corporations want the internet to forget because it’s better for business.
I’d love to use Signal exclusively and recommend it or move over group chats wherever possible. But some friends and family keep me on WhatsApp and messenger. IMHO using those less is better than using them a lot and having more apps is better than socially isolating yourself.
Especially excited bout the medium screen sizes. I like my small eReader but sometimes need something larger for PDFs and to make highlighting and searching easier in non-fiction books. The giant tablet I am typing this on is nice for web and video, but it’s just too massive for reading and it appears tablets have the seem problem as smartphones with becoming ever bigger.
Are there other sources on this? It sounds outrageous but would be nice to have an independent confirmation.
You can be against genocide and still oppose the ruling group in the area being. This isn’t something to joke about.
Thanks, this was helpful! Sounds like I’ll pass on Bluesky!
