Break free from Google! By buying a Google phone…


That was certainly one of the articles of all time.
Linux advocates would likely say that ChromeOS isn’t ‘real’ Linux because it’s specifically made for the mass market.
It’s not a purity test. Most people just don’t mean ChromeOS when they say Linux.
Nevertheless, however easy it might be use Gnome, or KDE, or any of the rest, there hasn’t been a mass migration from Windows.
Why? Because there’s still too much, well… Linux in there.
No, it’s because most people don’t know what Linux, an OS or an ISO is and wouldn’t know where to start changing their operating system if they even realise it’s a possibility.
This article is just the author tearing down a succession of strawmen of his own making + some big linux NIMBY vibes.


I thought you were reciting the lyrics to Destroy Rock & Roll by Mylo lol


Welcome to the dystopian future… except it’s now :(

She has such a great channel. Happy to see it getting posted around here.


No problem. I unfortunately found out about shingled drives after I bought them. Now I have a noisy 8TB drive that takes 18hrs to run a long SMART self test plus 2 4TB ones. The transfer speeds are lower too but otherwise they work fine and fortunately I’m just using them for media.
AFAIK there’s no advantage to shingled drives at all. They make them because they’re cheaper than CMR. It was a few years of the manufacturers selling them before they actually admitted it IIRC.
Any drive you see labeled as NAS or Enterprise will definitely be CMR. It’s the regular/gaming/external ones you need to watch out for.


If it’s for a NAS try to make sure it’s CMR (conventional) and not a shingled drive (SMR). Shingled will be slower and noisier and SMART tests will take days to run as it gets near full.

I don’t, I have them all blocked. I was just correcting you. Nice imagination though.


Huh, I already had it all on Kodi for free.
This does however give me an excuse to roll out my favourite SG-1 meme…



Go browse political subs on .ml, hexbear.net and lemmygrad and you’ll see plenty.
Just because you’re ignorant of them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
I’ve been on Lemmy a few months and I have seen more than enough.


Oh no, the youtube bots have escaped!


Yeah, this person seems to be whataboutism personified.


Yep, they’re just very fancy database queries.
Whether someone programmed it and turned it on 5mins before it did something or 5 weeks still means someone is responsible.
An inanimate object (server, GPU etc) cannot be responsible. Saying an AI agent did this is like saying someone was killed by a gun or run over by a car.


Protected because she’s rich it seems. Disgusting.


Surely that should be “A Person using an AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me”?
This smells like PR bait trying to legitimise AI.


Ohh, I see now. Sorry totally missed the joke.
Probably just put a /s on the end to convey sarcasm would do it.


Reminds me of Rhapsody of Fire album art. Very cool.
Most sane Eve Online player.
