Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Privacy.com is easy, too.

Yeah but until two months ago Spotify was 24kbps

fake news

I wonder why Spotify and not YouTube Music, Tidal or Apple Music all of which are higher quality.

Helpful! Thank you I will look into it.

Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.

If they don’t have power, they drop from the network or mesh.

That’s the problem, they don’t drop, the entity remains in a zombie state. Is there really no way to test if a device is still connected or not?

EDIT: Or just manually set an entity to “off”?

Well you’re in luck because the translation feature is local https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Don’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

January 6th = normal president stuff apparently

Well said, I think the library is the biggest point but also a harder sell for someone used to losing a large percentage of their games every generation. They see it as “having to buy their games again” in the short term.

Or y’know Ellen, or Will & Grace…

What opinion were you banned for, Anakin?

Eh, it’s the same man children that turn out to whine anytime a woman is doing anything other than trying to look sexy for them. I like these threads because it’s an easy way to find people to block.

Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too

Is someone forcing you to spread this drama?

Move over FeRAM

This is it exactly.

“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”

We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

1. Public
2. Involving people working for free

Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

The right tool for the right job… LLMs can’t do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn’t mean the technology is wholly useless.
