  • I dont use Graphene OS but my understanding was that it allows the user to sandbox Google play apps: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

    So this gives Google play less access than it normally would. I think thats probably the biggest draw of it other than security updates for longer periods of time for older hardware i imagine.

    Again, I'm not a user of it so i cant say for sure but I've beem interested in trying it out as it seems up my alley as I'm getting more pivacy conscious as the years go by.

  • I'm a huge fan of reaper. Nice clean daw for a good price imo. It being cross platform was a bonus. I started making music on Windows and the best part of switching to Linux was that reaper just works after figuring out how the hell to install it lol. Some Linux stuff im ok at but im still figuring things out.

    And same here. I'm a self pianist like my grandfather was. I really like addictive keys for playing piano and was happy to see the standalone version works with bottles. But without yabridge setup, i haven't been able to make much recently.

    Ive been looking to find a replacement for addictive keys thats native to Linux or works well at least.

  • As soon as they announced ads were gonna be in the start menu, i noped out of windows. I only use it for work which doesn't bother me because im not doing anything private on my work pc.

    I switched to Fedora 40 with KDE and never looked back. My only real gripe is with making music. Getting the VSTs to work and setting up yabridge is kind of a headache that i still need to do 😮‍💨 aside from that, Linux has been my daily driver for quite a while now and im happy i switched even though im still learning.

  • I second this.

    I started learning Google app script for work and while its not exactly traditional programming like most folks would do, i can now look at javascript and have a basic understanding of whats going on.

    I learned a ot by doing. And with the help of ai, i was able to learn concepts, syntax, the best way to do this or that at least to a degree.

    Just trying to make something is the best way. Make a tool to make your life easier. Like if you have a repetitive task that you dont want to do each time, make a script that does it for you.

  • Ah ok, thats pretty cool. I dont do much torrenting anymore cause my internet is not only limited but is kinda slow and unsteady.

    Might check that out once im back in civilization with a decent connection. I miss gigabit speeds man.

  • I personally really liked using jellyfin and finamp. Both were pretty great once i figured out how to set it up lol.

    The issues i had were due to my lack of knowledge and trying to set things up to use it outside of my home network. Jellyfin itself was great as was finamp when i used them.

  • GTA Online's latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones.

    This app "lets you easily request vehicles, claim all outstanding business safe earnings, and replenish ammo on your in-game phone." Collecting cash from your businesses in GTA Online has always been a bit of a pain, and being able to do it from your phone instead is obviously a massive improvement. The catch, of course, is that it's only available to GTA+ subscribers paying $8 a month (thanks, GamesRadar+).

  • Most models that I've played with are only about as good as what you put into it. If you ask it the right questions in the right way, you can get pretty good results.

    GPT3.5 has worked well for me. I've also run AI on my pc locally using Ollama and lots of different models. Most do well with simple questions or requests.

    Llama 3 instruct is what I've liked the most so far.

  • From my understanding, a lot of the products on amazon are resellers that buy stuff from alibaba and then resell it at a markup so it would not surprise me if that was the case.

    They all looked the same when i was last on there searching for one.

  • I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was "rated" for 800 sq ft.

    Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.

    Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!

    Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.

    I said "Nothing. Make a better product"

  • I wish they wouldn't do that. If i have to hear about Southern New Hampshire University again I'm gonna hurt somebody.

    If I agree to free thing and have to watch ads, aight fine.

    But at least make them different man, i hate that they play the same one over and over again. It does not make me want to buy your product.
