  • There's a better way to use Linux

    Jump

  • So, according to points 1 and 2, the better way to use Linux is just the generally recommended way?

    Using a WM rather than a DE follows the same principle, I guess. But tiling? That sounds like a YMMV option.

  • files.md is an open source alternative to Obsidian

    Jump

  • Yeah, Ghostwriter was my only KDE app for a while. Now I have none, switched to MarkText.

  • changedetection.io: Self hosted website change detection

    Jump

  • The better alternative would be if all sites just had RSS feeds... but yeah, since we can't have nice things, this is the way to keep tabs on site updates!

  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • Mbin, PieFed, Lemmy... They're all part of the same federated network. If an admin or mod of some server does something you don't approve of, you block their instance and jog on.

  • More Liability Will Make AI Chatbots Worse At Preventing Suicide

    Jump

  • Counterpoint, do magic eightballs "AI" chatbots prevent suicide in the first place? We know human staffed phone helplines can, which is why users will be "spammed" with those numbers. They verifiably do more good than talking to a goddamn bullshit generator.

    Liability matters where human lives are concerned.

  • Removed

    An option to auto-block downvoters

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'd be in favour of this.

  • ChatGPT’s latest stylistic quirk is sinister, infuriating – and absolutely everywhere

    Jump

  • For me it's having to pick apart if something is "AI" or not.

  • Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building an AI clone to replace him in meetings

    Jump

  • So it's actually one job that is easily replaced by Clippy.

  • better Mastodon feeds

    Jump

  • A better solution would be to get used to an algorithm-free feed. Having "sensational" BS blasted at you at all times is addictive, shortens your attention span, and is the reason Mastodon didn't go for those algorithms.

  • Press a button and this SSD will self-destruct with all your data

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I trust myself with that functionality.

    Opening the door: Making self-hosting friendly for newcomers

    Jump

  • I think you're right that the community could be more welcoming to newcomers. I also think there is a great point that newbies should be prepared to learn the technical side.

    It is terrific that nontechnical people want to self host, particularly as a way of keeping their data and services under their own control. But a large part of the attraction that corporate services like Google and Microsoft offer is, they remove the entire technical layer from users' view.

    As a result we have a few generations that largely don't know how to even host a basic website, much less rather more complex server software. If you want to admin a server and several services on it, it really is a good idea to know what is required to serve it securely, even only on a local network.

    And I'm coming at this from an end user's perspective, having dappled in home and remote servers for small projects, picking up some limited skills in the process. I have appreciated the GUI offerings that make it easier to set up a home lab or other server for beginners, but at the end of the day, I really think everybody should have (or try to attain) the technical knowledge required to operate or at least maintain the technology we use.

    This is not meant to trash on your Safebox project, but a more general viewpoint.

  • LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 + Root Updating Procedure?

    Jump

  • TIL. Will have to look it up for future updates. Preserving root is really the only drawback of updating LOS/mG.

  • LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 + Root Updating Procedure?

    Jump

  • For updates between minor versions, I just use the LOS updater in settings. I haven't seen any suggestions to uninstall Magisk beforehand, is that device specific perhaps?

    I do usually need to patch and flash a file to get root again after installation.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

    Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that's just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora's box moment if they stick with it.

    Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • It's the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.

    And it's not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It's the decision from above that SNW's sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.

    We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing...?

  • Sci-Net

    Jump

  • It's just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to "economy". It's a bullshit con is why.
