  • Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn't call home... Right? 🥵

    Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.

    I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven't so far. And that's what matters.

  • Obviously they are negotiating who gets which ukranian natural resources. USA and Russia, like always, divide the cake between themselves, while Ukraine and the rest of the world realise these bastards will always be the same imperialist assholes.

    Trump's administration don't even lie about this. They have explicitly said that's the whole issue. I hate their policies, but you gotta acknowledge the honesty.

  • Give them fun names but please STOP using them as official repo/distribution names.

    Life would be so much easier if the repository was debian15. Same problem when looking up Docker images.

    Then you won't have to double check everytime if you are talking about a newer/older version, etc.

  • After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted... I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

    So I'd suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn't risk bricking your device.

  • I'm not so sure it was an organized attack or rather a 12 year old kid who found out a stupid way of accomplishing a stupid thing.

    I don't know if there were other things done, but those 2 words I've read are more like 2 words a non-native kid would use rather than a far right manifesto, AFAIK, 😅

  • It depends, but I'd say you should definitely try it. Zigbee is so cheap (not just initial cost, but batteries also last waaasy longer and it doesn't saturate your local network), and it's very possible you can still build a nice mesh, maybe reusing a couple of your Wi-Fi switches somewhere else in the house if you need a Zigbee router in one of those spots.

    It was never the best idea to fill your home with tiny Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi IoT devices are more for people who basically want to automate a couple of things, not 40. I would become mad just for the battery changes, and scared as heck I'd be toasting my brain with so many devices screaming radiowaves (and a clear slowdown of my Internet connection).

  • I bricked a (very annoying) router trying to update its packages, so I am really looking forward for a sane package management system instead of the absolute manual mess it was before (and seems like still is).

  • Freely learn THE CODE, and HOW IT'S BUILT. And then you can improve upon it. That's what open source, and libre software in particular is.

    Dataset bias? You have the code. Make it your own bias.

    OpenAI tries to keep knowledge to itself not realising there are tens of millions of people around the world with computers, free time, and the WWW to share it.
