After the whole shebang, I decided to finally leave for good. So I'm currently checking out - and I am very much in love.

Biggest fear: Whether was possible for a noob. Until I installed the client and found out that basically all my current obsessions run on - including . ❤️

As utter noob willing to learn, I suspect the is one of the best places to be.

Boosts, tips, and cool peeps to follow are very much appreciated.

I'm not a "Linux Guy" really but I started re-evaluating it lately, and I think it might not just be for the Tech Weirdos anymore. It can absolutely be a daily driver for a lot of game developers now!

Bad and freeloader behaviour
AnthropicAI. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1ceco4f/claude_ai_name_and_shame/ #linux #linuxmint #opensource Please boost to shame them.

From the r/linux by user named MintAlone Title: Claude AI - name and shame I'm a mint user, regular contributor to the LM forum. Our forum went down today. Message from one of the mods when it was restored: Claude AI is a new AI chatbot by the company Anthropic. They're scraping websites to train their chatbot for free. They're doing it in a way that causes so much extra load on websites, it's effectively a DDos attack. Sometime yesterday their "ClaudeBot" started scraping the forums and this caused very poor performance of the forums for several hours and ultimately led to an outage. ClaudeBot is now blocked at the firewall and forums performance should be back to normal. Went looking for Anthropic, found no way of contacting them to complain (you end up going in circles). So posted here, not that I expect it will make any difference to their behaviour. Update: To put it into perspective: over the same time period ClaudeBot caused 20 times as much traffic as the 2nd worst bot and 40 times as much as the 3rd worst bot. The traffic from all other bots combined was a blip in comparison. We've blocked several other bots in the past for doing the same as ClaudeBot but as you can see most bots aren't an issue.

    Anyone on #LinuxMint know if @linuxmint was affected? Browsed the forum but haven’t seen any announcements.

    #Academia appears clearly divided on use of #AI. One camp sees the huge potential for #research, ideation, exposure to different perspectives, id of research gaps and critical thinking. The other seems to think it should be ignored and traditional research and writing prevail. Which camp are you? @academicchatter

    Like someone else said, I use it for editing my writing...Grammar, spelling, etc.

    I also use it to walk me through things that need to be done in a mac or Linux terminal, or troubleshooting tiny bits of code.

    Like I recently had to install #golang on a #LinuxMint machine to install a library.

    I don't see things like #ChatGPT , #Gemini , #Copilot , #Claude as some amazing life companions though.

    I prefer first hand sources for writing and research.

    Oh for fuck's sake… I'm trying to take a screenshot of a website in Firefox with dropdown menus on the website (NOT the browser UI!) open.

    Firefox's screenshot tool doesn't work, because right-clicking to take one closes the menu.

    My OS's (Linux Mint) screenshot tools doesn't work, because pressing Print closes the menu.

    What do I do?

    #Firefox #LinuxMint

    Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

    1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
    2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
    3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,

    I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

    Thx! 🤍
