People tend to think of digital things as unchanging and permanent but that isn’t really the case. I’m fascinated by the concept of bit rot and other ways that digital things can disappear or degrade over time.
It’s good that flash is not still an essential part of the modern Internet but its death did firmly cut off an entire era of Internet culture that cannot be experienced in quite the same way.
What about little electric scooters that you can rent with an app but we just dump them all over the fucking sidewalk when no one is using them.
I have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying with software known to be difficult.
I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I’d be in really good shape.
I don’t piss at all, I just hold it in until it solidifies then squeeze kidney stones out like forcing a bunch of caltrops through a tube of gogurt.

Okay you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.
Lemmy is definitely the most pain in the ass service that I self host. Most annoyingly when something goes wrong I can’t just go on Lemmy until I feel like fixing it.
They’re not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.
Hahaha, tell that to leadership! 😩
I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.
I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.
I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.
I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.
Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.
But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?
Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.
Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were ‘ringbacks’ where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn’t even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.
It’s kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.
My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I’m responsible for and what we’re supposed to do about it.
Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.
Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.
Their mom’s basement, most likely.
Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.
It really seems like you’re trying to blame people in poverty for being in poverty and that if only they’d follow these simple steps they wouldn’t be poor so clearly it must be their own fault for not educating themselves. It’s so simple and easy, just don’t doordash your avocado toast and put some money in your 401k!
Poverty begets poverty. It’s not a personal failing. People can’t make a home cooked meal after a 12 hour shift on minimum wage. People can’t just decide to not take on credit card debt when their car they can barely afford needs maintenance because it’s the only way they can get to work every day to make enough money to keep barely scraping by. Systemic issues trap people in a cycle that literally destroys their bodies and minds.
Newer Dell laptops I’ve worked on have them soldered on to the motherboard.
