Yep, my bad no idea how I managed that. Fixed it!

Iirc, it was common for the Kaminoans to remove sexual drives from the species they cloned, but it was specifically stated that doing so in humans made them terrible soldiers. So yeah, they fuck

I explicitly wanted a google one, not some Samsung-shit who add their own garbage on top of Google’s garbage.

Samsung TVs run Tizen which is their own OS, rather than a skinned Android TV. It’s pretty minimal so you need some other box or stick if you want a good watching experience, but it doesn’t do anything hostile as long as you turn the tracking bs off at setup, and there are no ads in the UI (at least on the 2019 model my parents have).

There’s no truly open source TV OS though :( I miss Firefox OS

Zen is based on Firefox, it supports 100% of firefox addons, as well as supporting its own community mods system for changing the browser itself

Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn’t for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks

TIL Madison Square Garden isn’t like… A public park or garden 😳. In my defence, I’m British and only ever saw the Madison Cube Garden parody on Futurama, which iirc is actually a garden.

It won’t save us on its own, not even close, but imo that tech will 100% be needed if we want to reduce the impact of climate change. Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels this very second we’d still need to suck a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere to get things back on track. Trying to capture carbon while we’re still emitting is like trying to bail out the titanic with a teaspoon.

I use sunshine and moonlight using a pi 5 running Android TV as the client. It works perfectly for the occasional video stream but latency for games is a bit rough. You’ll probably be fine playing something relaxed like Stardew Valley but platformers (I’ve tried Ultimate Chicken Horse) and racing games (Mario Kart Wii running in Dolphin) are just bad enough to be unplayable. This is with both devices connected over Ethernet (albeit through a powerline adapter and my router is fairly cheap) so WiFi will probably be worse.

Not sure if sunshine and moonlight just have loads of overhead or if there’s a part of my setup causing the latency.

I use Glutun for this

learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Take it from someone who was at university during the pandemic, noooo it is not

From what other people have said and from the occasional video that’s popped up on Youtube, Discord has a library of CSAM content that its automated systems match against and there are certain individuals that try to bait people to post seemingly innocent pictures that are actually frames from said videos. Discord’s systems see that the image is a frame from such material and will auto-ban the account

Framework 16 does have a dedicated GPU option, and it’s upgradable.

Here’s a wildcard people might not know about: Raspberry Pi Imager

I use it because it’s faster than Etcher and it also has a bunch of quick links to download popular images (mainly for RPI and other arm-based SBCs) in one click which is handy if you use those regularly.

I recently set up Fedora Kinoite on my dad’s laptop for him and he seems very happy with it. Kinoite is the atomic/immutable version with KDE Plasma by default. Once I’d set up a couple of things everything else he needs can be installed with flatpak (just make sure to set Flathub as the default and disable the Fedora flatpaks repo that ships broken packages all the time)

You joke, but this is a real problem in computing Obligatory link to Tom Scott video.

I read about ActualBudget and although it’s not the most useful thing for me (I only have one bank account and my finances are about as simple as you can get), I spun up a docker container for it anyway out of curiosity. It allows you to categorise all your transactions and set up rules with simple name matches and even regex for more advanced matching. It took me a couple of hours to create all my rules but future transactions should now be categorised automatically. There’s also a tab where you can setup charts and graphs to see visually how much you’ve spent on certain categories in the last X days and so on.

It might be overkill for what you’re looking for, but you might find it useful or just nice to have for other reasons, and it certainly should cover your use case.

Matrix isn’t fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

… My vacuum actually does run Linux.

!It’s a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn’t need internet access!<

The average person has a 1tb+ drive and doesn’t care about a few hundred megabytes of bloat in a partition they will never look at. If someone is switching from Windows, every app having its dependencies self contained is mostly normal anyway (aside from the occasional system provided dll). The only people likely to care about removing old flatpak platforms are the kind of people who don’t mind running the command to remove them.

Except that’s not the issue. This clearly reeks of the passwords not being hashed
