I was about to say, if ip was read only...

I've had a good track record with PopOS.

Steam works with about 90 ish percent of my games and all the software I use, there's a Linux version or proton can run it. Plus the OS is rock solid.

Back when we worked it, the app saved so much time and helped explain so much.

I had an ouya.

That was pretty terrible.

The games were actually really fun....but the console was basically a really slow phone. And the controllers had sticky buttons. But worst of all, all games lagged badly. Like half a second or more on some games.

Ive never seen this, thanks! This made my day.

I tried making it work for a month! I even tried to hack it to put retro stuff on it. My tiny gaming pc at the time had better capabilities and was easier to work with...so I gave up on that too. Tried to use the controllers (they were Bluetooth, they could technically work with other machines) but they lagged and felt terrible.

I might be the minority, but as long as they are stable and I can work with my programs, thats all I care about.

I use my pi to experiment, but I use PopOS as my daily driver nowadays.

Interesting, I have that setup, but then again I have an official system 76 machine that is still supported. I have three monitors with one rotated for dev work/teams (ugg).

Some people think it's a status symbol, but most people don't care. But yeah it's above 50 percent now and climbing (in the US).

I have both from time to time. I wish there was a viable 3rd party than picking our favorite multi-billion dollar company, but as a developer, I need both.

I still dont like something that is electric powered making it so you cant get through a door. If there is a short, the battery dies (which it will someday) or generally bad parts could potentially lead to a preventable death. Cars were made so keys (or key like) can open the door no matter what. And especially in the heat everyone is going through in the US.

How did you post on lemmy like that from mastodon? That's cool.

I learned about https://32bit.cafe/ just today. Looks like a lot of people are starting to build up the communities again.

The is my favorite.

Interesting, hope it goes well!

Any good forks without AI? I really don't want that AI companies with my data.

Theirs also: https://tildeverse.org/ I know next to nothing about this rabbit hole but it looks cool.

Back in the day, I liked the idea of a piratebox like: https://piratebox.cc/ but the setup was too much. LibraryBox was the successor and it died as well.

Ive never tried it, but Butterbox looks interesting. If anyone knows any good backup systems let me know!

Right now, I just maintain a couple of yunohost setups because its easy and I dont have to put in a huge amount of work to get federated services up and running.

Were in the code is this? When you use ChatGPT (example), the platform pulls in the data.

Ill give Librewolf a try, thanks.

Part of my research as an undergrad was working with PLSA. It's very much an algorithm.

"Earlier this week, Reddit disclosed in a corporate filing that CEO Steve Hoffman sold 500,000 shares, and Reddit COO Jennifer Wong also disclosed that she sold 514,000 shares."

If they believed in the platform, they would hold. Yeah looks like they are looking for bag holders.

Yeah its really too bad. I used to love the company but now I just don't see them making things for hobbies. Anyone know of some good alternatives? Ive heard good things about lepotato?

Repairable earbuds are now here, so that's pretty cool. https://shop.fairphone.com/fairbuds

It's not for me because I like wired but it's much better than apples.

Or give them the password. They aren't going to check if your still alive.

They do, take a look sometime on GitHub. There's just not a lot of traction when the big players can run on so many other platforms. And often faster than the hobbies counter part.

All three big oses are also made by a staggering amount of people that all worked together. And even in the case of BSD/Linux/minux/ect, lot of people worked on it that made money off it. Temple OS is probably the only exception as it is well known and mostly(?) made by one person.

It's an interesting field that is still being worked on.

It's kinda funny on Reddit, you would have had to pay for your picture comment. I'm happy to donate to lemmy, but putting features like this behind paywalls is silly.

Any way to turn that off? Bluetooth is very insecure.

I still like Bandcamp. The creators get more of a cut and I get drm free music. Pretty good deal.

You can see the number of up votes and down votes.

The API is much more open to third party apps.

The people are generally nicer.

Features are not paywalled.

Code is open source, so anyone and everyone can contribute.

Not where I'm at. Less young people have Facebook so will use other services like Craigslist. Yard sales are also popular.

10+ years with Linux as my daily driver (yeah I'm old). When my os updates, it's almost always with some feature that's pretty neat.

Nowadays the steamdeck or some combo of Linux with steam can play my games, do my work, and I actively make other people's lives better when I contribute.

What's the dumbest new car? That's what I want.

Aww cute bunnies!

Watership down.

My old place of employment told everyone that they had to go back to office earlier this year. 1 month later, about 10 people out of a 15-ish department found remote jobs. They just shuttered the local office after a couple more months. My new place is much better :).

Most of us are experienced software developers or software adjacent. There is a lot of companies looking.

We cant run scripts on our work laptop because of domain policy. Thing is, I am a software developer. They also do not allow docker without some heavy approval process, nor VMs. So im just sitting here remoting into a machine for development...which is fine but the machine is super slow. Also their VPN keeps going down, so all the software developers have to reconnect periodically all at the same time.

At my prior jobs, it was all open so it was very easy to install the tools we needed or get approval fairly quickly. Its more frustrating than anything. At least they give us software development work marked months out.

Yep it's pretty easy and my computer runs so much faster than Windows on the same machine.

With bluesky and Mastodon, I really dont see people coming back to the platform. The network effect works both positive and negatively. If less people are using the platform, it will accelerate the move to other platforms.

A Dead whistleblower should now be called a Boeing.

Plus there's better cars.

I never stopped using irc (I know I'm old). There is matrix to irc connectors that are awesome. One of the benefits of open source is a lot of the protocols work well together.

Yep you can do the same operations with a RTLSDR (20-40$) and a signal repeater (20ish) and raspberry pi/netbook. It's somewhat harder to do if you don't know the software but it really just exposes very insecure hardware. Companies should put a semblance of security and it would take care of things. These kind of devices are everywhere not just the flipper. Flipper just made it a tiny bit more friendly.

It's why it's so important to own your stuff and not give money to subscriptions you don't have to.
