It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”

Ones of the reasons I like Pop, they install a recovery partition with a copy of the install USB, finally they have a ‘factory reset’ that reinstalls the OS while keeping the users home folders.
Rust and a bit of Python

Technology@lemmy.ml•The corporate boot licking of Google after firing the palestine protestors in insane
385·2 years agoI disagree, I think protesting during working hours is kind of the point, same as a union protest during working hours. It affects the corps bottom line, the only thing they care about.

16·2 years agoStop talking to the type of people that care about what phone you have.
Then the VPN has your data, and also your ISP depending on how secure your setup is

Linux@lemmy.ml•Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Oh, can you tell me how to disable all the tracking then? https://youtu.be/IT4vDfA_4NI?si=9kY3yD5yceifSyq8

8·2 years agoChatGPT isn’t a search engine. Its just a more powerful version of the tool that you see suggesting the next word to use on your phones keyboard.
Its guessing how sentences should look based on ones it saw in the past. That means it makes stuff up
If you want to support Linux devs and continued development, I would buy from System76, Tuxedo Computers, or even Framework.
If you’re going to buy used then yeah the Thinkpad is fine.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about SearXNG -- search like the old days where you get relevant results instead of a page half full of weird nonsense
3·2 years agoThe github page for websurfx says its a open source alternative to searx, and I never used searx before so I wasn’t aware of it being OSS but sorry for being your ocean of ignorance you can’t do anything about. Next time I won’t share anything to not offend.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable
111·2 years agoRight, there’s plenty of people also not getting paid anything for their work. This “You shouldn’t care about money” feels like a straw man argument to OP’s argument which I think could also be said as “OSS isn’t sustainable unless everyone is paid a sustainable amount”.
It’s just all around frustrating. It has that same energy as “You criticize the system yet you’re a part of it” example. For example, I wont be able to show this thread to my landlord when rent is due saying, “You shouldn’t care about money, I’m an OSS dev so I dont”
So in closing, I guess I wish everyone had a UBI to be sustainable and then yeah OSS itself could be sustainable as a hobby project.
This is my recommended gaming distro, its actually works from my experience unlike the 3 different arch based distros I tried.
It depends on the person and their experience obviously, but for me, trying Linux back in 2020 felt like when I was new to computers in general and was poking around and learning Windows XP for the first time. It was fun seeing all the different settings options and features that were new to me.


I found a thinkpad with a radeon GPU for only 200 which was nice.
