  • Why don't you get a shark vacuum cleaner. Honesty those make vacuuming kinda fun( it even has headlights!). You can stick some headphones on, listen to some music you like, and you even get some exercise! And you can still vacuum when the WiFi goes out!

    Now if you're disabled or something I understand the need for a robot, but otherwise you could save a ton of money, get exercise, and have zero privacy concerns.

  • Happy new year!

    I'm looking at switching to 90% terminal applications this year.

  • It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

    But if you're just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

  • Wait so it's not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

    You guys with more ram still get crashes?

  • Why is it people only care about digital privacy when it effects someone in a negative was like this.

    For me the basic concept that someone can sell you something with the ability out of the box to do that and whatever else they want to do with it worries me and makes me want no part of it

  • Matrix client

    • iamb a CLI matrix client with a vim like interface

    Bookmark manager

    • BMKS works with or without dmenu and or fzf

    Password manager

    • Pass the standard Unix password manager

    File managers

    • lf like ranger but faster and written in go.
    • vifm another terminal file manager with vim style key bindings
  • I wouldn't call mint old. It has

    • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
    • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don't like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
    • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I'm sure they don't want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
    • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it's a thinkpad)

    So I don't see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you're a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

  • I don't know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.

  • Probably. Also the USA is the second world leader in ewaste, kinda funny considering how much your politicians scream about being green.

  • Because every totalitarian government in history has gone so well for the people under them

  • Isn't the problem that they are using ARM hardware. Like sure your x86 emulator can be good, but if you look at something like proton it's taken years for it to get good. And that's not even a different CPU architecture. So apple would have to make a wine equivalent, a DKVK, equivalent, and a really great X86 emulator if that's even possible on current gen hardware.

    Somehow I don't see them catching up with Linux gaming.

  • I think it's a good move. It doesn't take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

    Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

  • That looks epic!

    Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

    Add that and you're making my ideal Lemmy client

  • If you don't need all the features of a full office suit then check out markdown and and editor like ghostwriter

  • My question is how is an AI reading a bunch of articles any different from a human doing it. With this logic no one would legally be able to write an article as they are using bits of other peoples work they read that they learnt to write a good article with.

    They are both making money with parts of other peoples work.

  • Honesty that's a really bad time to launch as most people will still be broke from Christmas.

    Though it could be a plan to make it even more of a status symbol, so more people will budget or take out loans to get one.

    Honesty though I don't think they will become a massive part of anyone's daily lives anytime soon. As imagine the theft of these things if people started wearing them in public, and sure they can put all the anti theft stuff into it they want, but that hasn't effected phone theft much.

    But my big thing is what does it offer me I can't already do with my phone. The reason the smartphone was such a hit is it made so many things into one device and it is cheaper then getting all of those devices, and there is a genuine improvement in out and about life with one.

    With a headset I don't really see what it does that I can't already do easily at home. I have a laptop and a TV and both of those are cheaper. There is the gaming aspect, but no killer titles in that space. And I do worry about the negative mental health effects of such a device.

    So I wouldn't be surprised if this is a flop and this kind of tech only gets usage in specialist applications.

  • It's not purely talent that allows them to make this kind of stuff. Otherwise people outside of these agencies would be making this stuff too. It's also the fact the CIA or any of the others can go to apple for example and get all of the information on how these chips are made and the firmware on them, then put the company under a gag order.

    It is silly to assume the governments hackers are any better then a good hacker that doesn't work for them. And you need to realise that their advantages come from legal power, resources, and lesser regulations on research.

    Because a lot of silly conspiracy theories seem to stem from people believing that the government are somehow superior beings, when the only thing that makes them different from anyone else is power.
