I do see potential room for abuse. Let say someone has the list and contact the members of the list saying that they are from Dell and it is about the computer they purchased. They have all details, spec, address, etc so it believable. Then they tell them to buy some “antivirus” or install some “hot fix” etc. Scammers are already doing this, but it is less convincing.

What if I use a Samsung Note 7?

I wonder when will this join the Google Graveyard

Have look at nwg https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-shell I believe it has what you are looking for. Panel, app drawer, dock, settings. It is a shell for sway and Hyperland.

I would recommend openSuSe. It is using rpm, but it is an independent distribution.

There is a file manager app which looks similar to the Windows 11 one, but for Windows 10. It is also free and open source. It called Files

You can use AM or AppMan. It is a command line tool for managing AppImages. Including download , install, update and remove.

Have a look at

https://portable-linux-apps.github.io/

It is also open source.

recent demo from Microsoft showed how its GPT-4o-powered Copilot assistant could watch the screen to do things like give tips on how to play Minecraft.

And some people still wonders why the dumb phones are getting popular again.

Replace the HDD with SSD. It will run faster. You can configure any DE to look similar to windows, maybe Gnome to the lesser extend. One think to keep in mind when choosing the distro, you have to support it. Good luck.

Just take out the battery, oh wait.

Hypponen’s Law: If It’s Smart, It’s Vulnerable

If the product is free, you are the product. For some reason I don’t think they exclude paying users either. Also, since certain percentage of Reddit users are already AI or bot, we reached the circle of training AI on AI generated content.

Have a look at Otter browser It aims to replicate the old interface. It is using QtWebEngine as Presto was closed source. It is in development since 10 years now. And it is open source.

Keep in mind that Latte Dock is no longer maintained.

Have a look at thinStation

FlatPak and snaps are not only solving the universal packing problem, but in addition: providing necessary libraries which are not present on the main system; an be installed on multiple architectures (x86, arm, etc); sandboxed.

Oh nooo, so I have a useless project now?

Perhaps, consider contributing to HyprGreen

It is on the FlatHub as well.

A bit of history. The first universal packaging format was snap by Canonical and used to be called Click apps and it was made for the Ubuntu mobile OS and later to the Ubuntu desktop. Red Hat in response to that created the FlatPak format. The AppImages are community effort.

I want Rosie the robot from the Jetsons, who vacuums and does the ironing. Instead we will probably get the RoboCop and the Terminator.

It is. The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. Source

If you don’t want to use Nix packages or DistroBox, you can try an alternative which is in the fedora repository, like Qodem

My problem with matrix is that you need email address to use it. Compared to the irc, where you could just use whatever name and ask questions straight away. Most distros I used came with an irc client preinstalled and preconfigured to connect to the support channel when launched. In my opinion that is more beginner friendly.

They could use Bing with a chat interface powered by CharGPT and they can call it Bing Chat /s

You can use something like PairDrop instead. It is open source and browser based.

In 2004, Microsoft was granted a patent on using a double-click on "limited resource computing devices". As a result of this, some observers fear that any U.S. company which uses double-clicking may have to change their product not to use the technology, pay licensing fees to Microsoft, or give Microsoft access to intellectual property.

You can install a global theme like MacSonoma.

You can find more information about it on the GitHub. https://github.com/vinceliuice/MacSonoma-kde

Found the following websites about you’re triggering me lol.

Perhaps look at the privacy policy of the EU Voice Mastodon: here As lemmy, kbin and mastodon are using ActivityPub it is relevant.

Have a look at Blender it is free and open source software which enables you to create 3d animations. You can find tutorials on the Internet.

Have a look at miller

You are thinking of Xed

A bit of history. The first universal packaging format was snap by Canonical and used to be called Click apps and it was made for the Ubuntu mobile OS and later to the Ubuntu desktop. Red Hat in response to that created the FlatPak format. The AppImages are community effort. As you can see since both snap and FlatPak are developed and supported by a company they are more widely available and easier to search, install and update them. There are multiple tools for AppImages as well, which can search, install an update, however they are not pre installed or can be installed from the repo on most distro. There are dielstros which ship AppImage support by default with App Store for example Nitrux. You can use AppMan or bauh for managing AppImages. The AppMan has command line interface and bauh is a graphical application. Bauh can also manage snap and FlatPak.

Have a look at Super Productivity it is a todo list app with projects, time tracking, break time reminder. It is completely offline, no registration required.

I would only want the phone to listen when I actually ask it a question, not 24/7.

If the phone does not listen 24/7, then how does it know when you are asking a question? It should discard all information until the wake up word is called in theory. Only way it could work if you have to press a button to start listening to your question. This was the case in the past, however people wanted to ask questions while showering or something since they introduced this “improvement”.

Only if you could choose the default container for the new tabs instead having to long press the new tab button and selecting it manually.
