Mate, you have zero experience how to drive but feel the need to tell others what is save and what not?

Can people please shut up talking about topics they know nothing about?!

It definitely gets easier after muscle memory kicks in. Doesn't really make a difference if manual or automatic.

What?! You are remembering that story wrong. She was a dolphin trainer or some scientist and jerked of the dolphin because she thought the dolphin was depressed and lonely.

A few days ago I tried to install Windows 11 on the PC of a friend. It didn't work because of missing SATA drivers. Anyway, I was shocked how many points there are where Microsoft or Apple (we used his mac to create the USB drive) tries to sell something (buy pro version of fan controll now) or wants your permissions to gather all your data.

I convinced him to let me install debian. When it came to creating the default user he was hesitant to use his full name, because telemetry :D

At least in germany, nobody cares. We are using WhatsApp over here most of the time

Is nobody concerned about this:

Behind the wall, an army of robots, also powered by new Nvidia robotics processors, will assemble your food, no humans needed. We've already seen the introduction of these kinds of 'labor-saving' technologies in the form of self-checkout counters, food ordering kiosks, and other similar human-replacements in service industries, so there's no reason to think that this trend won't continue with AI.

not being seen as the paradise? It's like the enterprise crew is concerned about replicators because people will lose their jobs.

This is madness, to be honest, this is what humankind ultimately should evolve into. No stupid labour for anyone. But the truth is: capitalism will take care of that, it will make sure, that not everyone is free but that a small percentage is more free and the rest is fucked.There lies the problem not in being able to make human labour obsolete.

For real? Never heard of that. Super interesting if they did shit like that back then

That was my first linux distro I tried, took 12 minutes to boot on my Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM. Still better then win98 though

I wonder if there are still people living in their underground bunker believing they are the only one that survived 2000 or 2012

I think very few people mind changing it

I doubt that. Do you know how many system configurations depend on these keywords? Do you have any idea how many hours of work and system outages this would cause?

Innovatin is good if it results in clean water, meds, housing, safe food and goods and services.

It's bad if it means: the most profit for useless shit that people only buy because advertisment made them believe they need it.

Capitalism is a tool. Please let's grow a pair and stop letting it decide how it will be used. It's like pulling the trigger on an ak47 without holding it tight. Do we expect the weapon to know where to shot?

Capitalism is a tool that wants to maximize its profits. Unfortunately it discovered that changing the politics and laws is an easy way to do that, even if it's bad for the people.

Capitalism is per definition not bound to ethics or moral. We need to set rules, even if big corporations made us to believe we shouldn't.

“We’ve once again put these struggles on the back of landlords,” Barger said.

Oh no... anyway...

I second that! Been using it for ~4 years now and I so much prefer it to the old launchers. After installing it I completely stopped testing new launchers.

Does anyone still remember the old (2010) launcher called slide it. Unfortunatly it was discontinued and I have always been searching for an adequate replacement. In Niagara I have found it.

Anyway, back to why i like Niagara so much. With every other launcher the workflow is like this:

  • swipe up for menu
  • swipe 2-5 pages left or right till you reach your app
  • click your app icon

which takes ages and is tedious.

On Niagara I just swipe along the left or right edge until the letter my apps name is starting with appears and click the icon. That's it.

Having notifications beneath your favorite apps and an included media control app when audio is playing is superb. (I'm using the pro version). Calendar is aCalendar btw.

Best few bucks I have ever spend for some android app.

Tried it for a few days. It works just like firefox minus one embedded video that crashed after 5 secs but worked in ordinary firefox.

What really surprised me was the speed. Loading youtube on firefox ~0.6 on zen ~0.1 which felt rather nice. I'm still not sure if its worth the hassel to switch.

You are talking about Limux which started 2 decades ago, but there are other initiatives to enforce oss software in german government.

I also think it's a healthy attitude but at the same time it's sad that people can't trust their own devices any longer.

Using your real name can have benefits, like metadata in office documents or things like that. If you are sure your devices are yours and secure, there shouldn't be a reason not to use your own name. Unfortunately this isn't the case anymore if you are using anything else but Linux

It does, but that doesn't cause the error. After failing to boot via pxe the system tries to boot from hard disk and that fails too. Bad HDD most likely

/usr/bin/ssh

They are a company with zero morals and the goal to maximize profits. That's what capitalism is for and were it's good at.

The government needs to create rules and laws to make sure that this profit maximizing doesn't happen on the back of ordinary people, but since corporate america is allowed to control the government through money, this doesn't happen.

Capitalism is a tool, can we please start to use it like that again?!

same for me. no noticeable difference

This is a big problem nowadays. Looking a bit into the future these incentives might be the reason that electricity will be available for almost free.

In the short run, this looks bad: 90% of the energy is consumed by tech. In the long run the technological advancements this creates might be the reason we solve energy problems much quicker and without killing mother earth in the long run. But who knows, we can all just watch in awe and hope for the best.

might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

If this still doesn't help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP

Guess i need to donate my dead body to science after im dead. I never had a cramp in the 38 years of my life. shrugs

Capitalism is a tool. Without it, we wouldn't have cars, smartphones and so much more.

The problem is that we started to let the tool decide what is important. And since for them profit is more important then people, we are fucked.

Is a hammer generally bad because it can crush your fingers?

You are contradicting yourself. By moving into a wealthy country you neither gain education nor wealth. Its about culture and environment.

My guess is: in wealthy countries people are living more isolated. Without help from friends and family you have to invest a huge amount oft time into rising a child, which many can't afford.

Wow, thats expensive, wasn't aware it got that expensive. I bought it for 5 bucks or so a few years ago.

To be honest, I would still pay, if I hadn't already, it's that good.

Give it 5 more years in hardware performance improvements and software/model optimization and I don't see a problem. The important part is that improvements are made public for everyone to use and improve upon instead of letting openai and microsoft take the whole cake

We'd need a way to attract CO2 to separate it from the rest of the air, and afaik that doesn't exist.

Call me crazy but what about plants and trees?! 🤷🏼‍♂️

They might not be 100% efficient but it's dirt cheap to plant them, let alone not destroy the rest we still have
