Bilb!

Also also: since you’re already down with KDE, check out kinoite (atomic F40 KDE). Atomic distros are awesome :)

And check out Aurora! It’s basically Kinoite with a lot of nice tweaks and inclusions. Aurora-dx is especially nice if you do dev stuff. I’ve been really happy with it.

If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/“AI,” I’d say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it’s often used.

I wonder if any Lemmy servers run on Windows without WSL. I can’t think of any hard dependencies on Linux, so it should be possible.

Yeah, I don’t see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!

I felt so lucky to realize that I wasn’t going to like that game at all within the refund window.

And life has been transformed! Everything is wonderful now!

I agree

Nintendo doesn’t really restrict things in that way. It would be very strange for them to block a game from publishing on switch for those reasons.

You’ve lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.

So in other words, I’m thinking of Linux

I like Waterfox. I don’t care about vertical or tree style tabs, but I like the extra UI options and the reasonable defaults.

On bad operating systems like Linux, yes. ;)

That’s not unlike youtube really

Anyone else get free Ubuntu CDs shipped to their house? I think I had 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) shipped to my house back in 2007.

Otherwise, Mandrake Linux was my first “good” distro. I first tried one called Lycoris which claimed to be an beginner’s distro with it’s own DE, and it was impressive how well it handled setting up a dual boot installation and at the time it was a revelation that I could use a computer without Windows. I didn’t begin preferring linux until I tried Mandrake with KDE 3, though.

It’s not as if they are holding themselves up as supporting Free Software philosophies (as opposed to Open Source), so where’s the pretense?

If somehow it ever makes strategic sense for them to stop making use of the open source model, yeah, they’ll stop. That doesn’t mean they were pretending.

I don’t think they’re pretending. Open source software is a valuable resource for basically all major tech companies, and a lot of it is driven by major tech companies. Some kind of combination of open source and proprietary software will always be a thing for them. This isn’t some major contradiction, they use either model based on the specific needs of the project.

This is why some think “Open Source” is too permissive since they see it as free/cheap labor to be exploited by huge corporations.

I’m not sure that I see it that way, but I can see their point.

No selection pressure after the age at which our adult teeth fail

Almost 30 years and still basically useless.

The last time I tried that getting google play services working was a long, annoying process and did not work. I don’t expect google to make any of that easy for us.
