I’ve never got what the point of Home Assistant is, seems to be it’ll talk to a load of smart devices and advertises you can control it with Alexa but at what point why not just have Alexa itsself control the devices?
"powerless" just use Lemmy it's not like there's really anything meaningful to hold you on Reddit, afaik people don't really make friends on Reddit or anything
Yep. Haven't tried heroic on my PC but I've heard great things about it and provided you enable it with programs.steam.enable = true; in your config steam and proton work a charm. Even better performance depending on the game
You didn't ask but the battle.net launcher also works pretty well under proton
Mood. When someone takes up 3 people's worth of space by walking smack bang in the middle of the pavement dawdling along on their merry way meandering left and right and then just randomly stopping for some reason, makes me unreasonably irritated
This makes me suspicious though, surely if they've declassified this that means they want people to see it, so isn't there a very real chance it's intentionally misleading?
Previously making misinformation, propaganda, spam etc even if using Google was still a manual activity bound by human limitations, now you can have a fully autonomous scam bot that will relatively cheaply scale to infinity
Scam call centers right now are hugely successful unfortunately, and they're limited by human beings manning the phones, imagine a fleet of gpt agents scamming old ladies out of their life savings at record efficiency
Probably Mint or ElementaryOS are your safest bets. Personally I think being able to use the Linux terminal is an advantage though, way more reliable and consistent than windows' settings/control panel/powershell fiasco
Never tried mint but weirdly enough NixOS has been the easiest distro for me so far, haven't run into any weird bugs in drivers or my touchpad not working after hibernation etc like I have in Ubuntu based distros
The whole idea of it being decentralised is to stop companies like meta coming in and turning it into just another capitalism machine
Theoretically I'd hope the admins of all the bigger Lemmy instances would refuse to federate with them on account of the fact it would largely collapse the federated network into one big blob of everyone on the same server that is controlled by a corporation that's demonstrated time and time again not to have consumer rights at heart in the slightest
The problem is that'll be a very tempting offer, seeing as afaik there's not really any way to monetize lemmy instances and they're all running out of people's pockets
I'm using NixOS currently on both my gaming pc and my laptop, you should absolutely try it it's as good as it sounds
Takes a bit of learning if you want to use it to its fullest but it's great out of the box too provided you read the getting started guide
If you do make the switch I would highly recommend putting your NixOS configuration file(s) in source control of some kind, it'll let you revert to previous builds out of the box but afaik you can't revert the config file itsself
