“We believe in an open internet… as long as you use these specific services.”

This really sucks. So we’re looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. “Hmmm now which search engine was <insert website here> on?”

I was entering my teens in the early 2000’s. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn’t know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I’m not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren’t just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

If I sell all my megalixers I’ve never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.

Less hyped this expansion but that makes sense as it’s a new beginning. Can’t wait nonetheless, I always come back to XIV.

They work in a pinch but even on windows they always end up causing more trouble than it’s worth. I recently got a client business, a lawyer’s office, where their previous IT got them all Startech displaylink docks. After I replaced a couple of them where the users had some lower end i3 laptops, searches they ran in their document management system finished in maybe 50% of the time.

Good processors like the M1 you maybe can’t notice but they cripple the lower end systems.

Does anyone have a quick ELI5 for the AMD P-state or a link to some good info around it? Seems people are excited about and I’ve been out of the news cycle loop lately.

I’m using Bookstack for myself as well as for work and I love it. It may not have all the features some of the others mentioned here do but there is beauty in its simplicity. It gets out of my way but still has a few power user features.

This is really great! Tried it out and it’s already earned the coveted “pin” on the taskbar. Thank you for your work on this.

Ah! I’m so sorry it was actually the “Cosmic Journeys” collection. And it’s number 91 in the collection. I feel terrible if a few of you went and bought the wrong one. I had bought the Optic one as well for my phone so got them mixed up.

The wallpaper came from a paid collection from the “Backdrops” app on iOS and Android. The collection is called “Optic Odyssey”.

KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM’s are but you’re able to define a layout and snap them into place.

Thanks! The dashboard i’m using is Dashy

“The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’.”

Amazing.

I’ll throw in my vote for Kavita. Works great. I read a lot on my phone so I just saved the app shortcut to my home screen from Firefox.

Amazing! Thanks for bringing infinity to Lemmy. It was my go-to app for Reddit.

Mine machines are all named after Final Fantasy Summons/Espers/Eidolons/Aeons/Primals.

My main proxmox node is Bahamut. I try to pick a suitable summon that matches the host but that doesn’t always work.

I believe I read there was only one package maintainer for Gnome on Arch, which is why the release took longer. We have to remember it’s often just regular people, or in that case, person, who maintains this stuff for free or very little. And just because upstream made a release doesn’t mean it’s a simple drop-in to our distro of choice.

I’ve been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000’s. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.

In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn’t remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.

I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that’s a whole other rabbit hole!
