Inspiring tale, glad you found something you both enjoy and learn from! I think that’s a great use of time, to problem solve and develop tools that benefit you day-to-day.
I’ve had some family that have experienced strokes, ranging from a slight scare to full on life-changing. You’re certainly doing well if you’re writing your own apps, I can barely script BASH.
Sad. . . not you bruce!
yeah, I was looking at the Moto G15 for my next phone, but with this news, I’m considering waiting a little longer for a better OS
which is fine, I mean, you’d want decent specs + a secure OS in this day and age
who are the fascists and white supremacists?
I honestly don’t understand people beefing with people they don’t know personally. Like, sure, I’m not the biggest fan of furries, but hey, you do you, I like animals but just not like that.
Not using software because people you don’t know like something you don’t like??? So stupid. Be you, be proud.
(I’m speaking generally, not directly to you op, btw)
shoutout to ffmpeg!
Yeah same. Its a little annoying having to wait for certain updates, like when a new application can be built from source on arch, but i’d have to rebuild a core dependency from a scratch to get it working on fedora.
But ive been using it for years, and even if i broke the system, ive always got it working again, which is saying something.
Google wants to finance anything they can get their damn search engine into, that’s not entirely the fault of Firefox. I still use a firefox-based browser, but only for now.
There is ladybird on the horizon, a browser being built from scratch, not based on either Gecko or Webkit.
definitely a goated application on linux by now. I’ve just started using it, and holy cow, it’s way more capable than I thought it was. 1.0 was a blessing!
the cat in the image is windows update taking over the linux boot partition: the box, instead of leaving it alone for the much more comfortable windows boot partition: the cat tree.
Us human really are good at making shit worse, eh?
Fuck, RIP to an entire generation of kids and teens who won’t get to experience the joy of building out their own personal machines

As if backlash matters to them. There’s 200+ million active daily users. They’re betting on the majority not giving a fuck, and they are right.
I try and try again to convince my friends to leave discord, but they don’t care. Not sure what it will take for them to change.
Seriously, I already deleted my discord account once before, because their terms of service already were claiming that all private messages and channel messages are being collected and sold to advertisers and data collection groups. I only joined back because I missed my friends. But now?? I could give a fuck, I already spun up Sharkord, and it runs well. In 6 months time, it will likely be good enough to completely ditch discord, so fuck it. My privacy matters more than friends who don’t use their damn brains.
Fuck these companies profiting from fucking taxes. What do they contribute to society?
The satire caption was greatly appreciated
Roblox could avoid so much shit if they just REMOVED THE DAMN CHAT FUNCTION!!!
Never in my childhood did I need to chat with strangers in a game. Sure, you could chat on runescape, or any decent mmorpg at the time, but the chat was moderated, and key point, they weren’t hotbeds for child predators
Yeah, makes sense. I “solved” that issue by still doing handwritten notes but then scanning them and converting them to digital notes afterwards.
That being said, I grew up in the 90s so I was never deprived of the skill of handwriting as a kid. It wasn’t until apple made touchscreens popular that shit kinda went downhill
It objectively better than window 11, so I’m not at all surprised people don’t want to switch. That, or they locked themselves down with some odd dependency.
