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

mesamunefire OP ,

I think most users dont install windows period. It just comes with the computer. And if it breaks, they get a new one. Thats it.

mesamunefire OP ,

Agreed.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

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.

mesamunefire ,

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).

mesamunefire ,

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.

mesamunefire ,

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.

"the policy decreased the amount of money that utilities pay homeowners for selling surplus solar power to the grid by about 75%. "

Yep before you could sell your energy back. Now it's much better to just sit on it or let a neighbor use it. They give you pennies for their dollar. I hate PGE.

mesamunefire ,

Yep theirs real talk at the city level to start looking at taking back power from PGE.

mesamunefire ,

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

mesamunefire ,

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

Ill give Librewolf a try, thanks.

mesamunefire ,

Interesting, hope it goes well!

mesamunefire ,

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

mesamunefire ,

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.

Auto-translate?

I see a lot of feeds in other languages that I don’t know (I are a merican so i just know the two - baseball and cursing.). But I’d be very interested if there was some kind of babelfish auto-translation for the other posts so I could see what they were about - does anything like that exist or is there any known effort...

mesamunefire ,

Oh that's neat, thanks.

mesamunefire ,

Testing out my meshtastic setup and seeing friends.

mesamunefire ,

Our local city went from a couple of hobbiest to around 20 people getting into it. It's like a pager lol. But it does have a phone app as well as a web one.

What is your culture's outlook towards authority figures? What seems to have influenced it?

I am an Indian and I have become hyperaware of the people and the culture that surrounds me and I am beginning to see the flaws in it. One of the flaws that trouble me the MOST is how most Indians behave when they encounter any authority figure (mostly higher class or "higher" caste or the wealthy or the bureaucrat class)....

mesamunefire ,

American here. We mostly cuss at ours.

In all seriousness, we generally treat people with respect but that's about it. It's heavily varries by person.

mesamunefire ,

That's not good. Hopefully there can be a rescue mission if need be.Also Boeing needs to stop fing up. They keep killing people...

mesamunefire ,

I'm in the same boat. I want to like the game and it is fun, but I got stuck with some area with orbs and my save corrupted...one of the orbs just disappeared after 50+ hours and I can't bring myself to play again and possibly have the same bug pop up. Maybe someday but it's just such a big game.

mesamunefire ,

Betterment/Weathfront does a lot of this already, but without "AI". Its just algorithms. It sounds the same...but its really not.

mesamunefire ,

What's the easiest way to pop up a server? I tried yunohost but the lemmy code is very old now.

mesamunefire ,

Learn to code

Donate time

....

Profit!

...I wish it worked that way :D

mesamunefire ,

You are on one.

mesamunefire ,

I mentoured some jr devs and some apprentices. You end up learning quite a bit about yourself, your industry, and your straighths and weaknesses pretty quickly doing so. Telling someone, "well that just what worked" is not good enough.

mesamunefire ,

Germany sounds wild. While anyone can be in a trade here, its exceptionally hard to get into.

mesamunefire ,

Aww cute bunnies!

Watership down.

mesamunefire ,

GL. The best thing about the fediverse is the creation of new and exciting projects that will come and go.

mesamunefire OP ,

Before down voting please read. This is a heavily sourced article that has real policies Trump is on record saying he will pursue.

mesamunefire ,

My research was literally on AI back in college. Most AI solutions are just basic algorithms and don't use real AI solutions. There's a huge difference.

mesamunefire ,

2nd a doctor.

mesamunefire ,

A VPN sure. I'm not sure about Nord.

mesamunefire ,

Yeah that sounds great.

How does one get one of those manuals, tools, and parts according to the law?

mesamunefire ,

Yep just ping time and latency make this a no go for a vast majority of us.

mesamunefire ,

I got stardew working on a local network and playing on the miyoo mini. It was cool for the novelty, but had terrible performance outside a local network. After only a couple of hops it's unplayable and will disconnect.

mesamunefire OP ,

Agreed.

I think that just starting with networking might be the way to go. I mean if someone wants to a market a fedi alternative, they would have a huge advantage on software developers, server hosters, and generally our small communities.

Such a great series full of funny and gut punching moments.

The books are fun to read, but the audiobook blows it out of the water. https://soundbooththeater.com/series/dungeon-crawler-carl/

mesamunefire ,

Id rather get a vehicle/parts that will fail reliably than one that is bolted on everything and you cant repair anything.

mesamunefire ,

You can do the same in mastodon. It's great.

mesamunefire OP ,

Why make money once when you can get people hooked on a subscription and pay many times the value?
