Cool thanks! I don’t think those options would work. The school I work at has a very strict firewall so I doubt ssh or vnc would work on our network.

I’m curious if it’s possible to connect either of these devices to hdmi?

Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

Tailscale!

Maybe AI could just play the games for us!

There are many Linux communities just waiting to give you a welcoming high five. Why wait to be disappointed by MS?

Same. As soon as I saw copilot being implemented I made the switch on desktop.

Awesome! There are so many good communities on Lemmy for Linux noobs and enthusiasts! Be patient, and take snapshots!

Easy, just connect 4 cables!

In the early 00s I pirated a lot of music, but now I buy records and pay for streaming because it’s affordable and good.

I used to pirate software but now I just use FOSS because it’s free and good.

I used to pirate games but now I just wait for steam sales, which is cheap and good.

I used to pirate lots of movies and tv shows but then got a Netflix account and it was reasonably priced and good… until it wasn’t. Then I set up a full stack of usenet/ sonarr/ radarr/ overseer/ Jellyfin and boy oh boy is that good.

But now I have a baby and don’t watch tv anymore so I pirate pretty much nothing.

lol imagine if Netflix made a show glorifying piracy

I remember once I pirated a pack of something like 100 000 fonts and I stupidly installed all of them and then Photoshop couldn't change fonts because it would take like 10 minutes to load them in the drop down menu.

Not exactly. A big reason for them being sued is for circumventing Switch’s encryption.

I don’t think it’s possible to takedown a project that doesn’t use any proprietary code. You have to supply your own rom.

I was going to post this exact comment because I, too listen to the Linux After Dark podcast.

lol this is such a classic Linux trope

Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!

Person B: I have been running this for years with no issues. It just works!

You’re not dumb you just haven’t needed that use case before.

Here’s an example of the last time JDownloader saved me. There was a website where people were posting archives of old skateboard videos. There were hundreds of links across dozens of pages in a forum. All links to sites like mega.

I was able to view all pages in one document and extracted all of the hundreds of links and put them in JDownloader. Over the course of the next several weeks JDownloader was able to manage those downloads without clogging my bandwidth. If a download failed it would notify me and I could retry it.

Can you imagine trying to do that in Firefox?

Were there people exploring the Galapagos in 1000 BCE?

I think a lot of people also misuse the word and use it as a catch-all for companies doing something they don’t like.

Raising prices is not enshittification, that’s inflation.

Not paying employees well is not enshittification, that’s under-compensation.

YouTube putting more ads in their videos including when the video is paused isn’t enshittification that’s… wait no that is enshittification.

Enshittification refers to offering the same service (often free, or at least with an option to pay more) but making it worse in order to squeeze you onto a paid (or higher paid) tier of service. This sounds good to shareholders but ultimately it alienates their customers and often leads to a company dying.
