nossaquesapao,

They lost the golden opportunity of starting with ancient people worshiping the sun, going through each step of technology advancement, to take us by surprise at the end, with people worshiping the sun again.

nossaquesapao,

I find it curious to see people having this sort of insecurity (in some cases, some sort of aversion) with playing older games, while they don’t have it with other media, like books or music.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

nossaquesapao,

One thing is to explore different ways to do things, like many projects do, but ubuntu goes further and FORCES people to use their experiments, as if they’re some sort of testing ground, not as if they’re the most used family of linux distros and the one a lot of people rely on.

Edit: Sorry if my tone was excessive, I think I’m getting grumpy with age.

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

nossaquesapao,

It can be a great experience. I used to work in a program for teaching informatics to people who didn’t have access to technology, and we used linux. The results were great. Most people who came from a phone-only background would feel more comfortable with gnome as a gui, so I’d recommend a gnome-based distro for you, like ubuntu, pop os or fedora. Don’t think too much about the distr, just pick one and give it a try. And don’t forget to post your experience here later.

Good luck!

nossaquesapao,

But you don’t have to remove windows. You can install linux in another partition and have an option to choose which system you want to boot. If I remember well, the ubuntu installer has an option t do that automatically ( I will check for you later) . You can also install linux to an external usb media for testing and insert it every time you want to give it a try (usually, pressing f12 or other vendor-specific combination at boot time allows you to choose boot media)

Edit: found this nice tutorial with images: tomshardware.com/…/dual-boot-linux-and-windows-11

We are not the same

They’re not really rare. For example, here in Brazil, it’s just a common thing in houses to have an old crt lying around, sometimes, still in use. People sell them for really cheap, or just give them away (since they’re heavy, a lot of people will gladly give you one, or two, for free if you simply go there to take it). Even in a country where crts are rare, a collector could simply import one from a place where it costs almost nothing.

Crts may be old, but they were manufactured in millions, making them not really valuable, because they’re not rare. Same goes for things like floppy disks or coins from periods of huge inflation. It will take a loooong time until we see crt prices skyrocketing due to scarcity. Prices may have gone up a little in some places, but not that much.

As for the shrek one, like people said, it’s because it was a limited model.

nossaquesapao,

The one with the tree is so cute and makes me feel at peace.

nossaquesapao,

I think the problem was that technological advances were faster than social ones. We ended with new ways to control people, and new forms of inequality.

Many of our problems with technology are rooted in a company abusing from their power. Even the troubled ways we communcate online today are a product of how bigh tech manipulated social networks.

nossaquesapao,

RPG games without any kind of magic, in a more realistic world.

nossaquesapao,

Literally my favorite game! I was too vague in my last comment, I meant a more classical rpg, with fights and a more archaic world. Perhaps something in the lines of age of decadence.

nossaquesapao,

Thank you, I will check it out.

Edit: looks nice, turns out it was around all this time and I never found out about

nossaquesapao,

I started using foss software for everything, and one day, I realized that all the software I used was available on Linux, so I figured out I could run a foss os as well, and migrating was just straightforward.

nossaquesapao,

But should art necessarily require physical skills? If I can conceptualize an image, but lack motor skills to transfer it to some media, and, instead, make a detailed description of what I pictured, can’t I be considered an artist?

In music, there are the composer and the performer, both considered artists without any doubt, but only one has the physical skills.

In my humble opinion we all fail to take this ai debate to the best and more productive path: people using images to train models without permission from the artists. The legal loophole used for this requires some kind of personification of ais, considering the practice as some sort of “inspiration”, instead of considering the generated models as derivative works.

nossaquesapao,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by more human?

nossaquesapao,

Just a few days ago, someone around here was telling me about how they need a charger with 10 usb ports when traveling, because everyone in the family has a smartwatch and other devices that need frequent charging.

nossaquesapao,

Smartwatches look like something so consumerist to me, like a desperate move from companies who are having diminishing smartphone sales, but need a constant growth to not face a crisis.

Seriously, with very few exceptions, like people who need to track health issues, I don’t see why someone would need it.

nossaquesapao,

I liked the ones that didn’t stray too much from the original. I always liked the gecko, but found it to be a bit weird looking.

nossaquesapao,

Can’t we load a lineageos gsi in these tablets?

nossaquesapao,

The fact that most pcs ate sold with windows preinstalled is a strong factor too.

nossaquesapao,

Where can we find more of this drug?

nossaquesapao,

Does fedora have a rolling version?

nossaquesapao,

I forgot about rawhide. But it’s not really intended for the general public, similar to debian testing, isn’t it?

nossaquesapao,

Taking shitposting to a whole new level.

nossaquesapao,

It’s hard to find estimates of android devices, but most reports I found indicate around 3 billion, and this makes us around 0,05%. I expected it to be low, but not like that…

nossaquesapao,

Good point. I found no data making that distinction, so we can’t really know.

nossaquesapao,

Exactly. There’s nothing out of the ordinary in that chart, just a quick growth, that led to an overshoot, and now it’s stabilizing In the next months, we will probably see a more stable pattern of linear-looking growth, with occasional peaks here and there.

nossaquesapao,

Your wifi ssid and password.

nossaquesapao,

I thought that wms worked as full abstraction layers. It helped to reduce my confusion, thanks.

nossaquesapao,

Thank you. It’s all a bit confusing, but I’m starting to get it.

nossaquesapao,

Yes, part of my confusion was simply mixing up the job of the app frameworks/gui toolkits for the wm. It was weird to me that some apps like firefox had to provide wayland support by themselves and couldn’t simply rely on abstraction layers from whathever they’re coded in. However, I looked for some info, and found out that firefox renders some widgets on its own, and now it makes sense that they need to provide wayland support.

nossaquesapao,

I buy all my electronics in black, because they can last decades and still look fine. Most white or colored stuff become yellowish with time.

nossaquesapao,

Do you often have like 10 usb devices charging at once??

nossaquesapao,

Whoa. At this point, I’d be so stressed from charging stuff all the time, that I would reject technology and buy a country house lol.

nossaquesapao,

Are you avoiding those projects just because they were created or funded by meta?

nossaquesapao,

Thermald is the way. I have a fanless pc that used to hit critical temperatures and restart quite often, but after using thermald and simple rules, it works fine now.

nossaquesapao,

About word documents, I’d suggest using onlyoffice instead of the default libreoffice. I’m using it as an academic researcher, and It has been well above my expectations. I used to have some trouble when submiting my works, but onlyoffice has been smoother than ms word for docx documents. I don’t know about the kind of formating in your files, though, maybe the experience can vary.

nossaquesapao,

Does noscript blocks unnecessary JavaScript automatically, or do we need to manually add rules?

nossaquesapao, (edited )

This is very interesting, I will try right away.

Edit: Tried it, and it broke almost every site I use. Even lemmy didn’t work. It doesn’t look like it can be used without manual intervention, like ublock.

nossaquesapao,

I once downloaded a really old (like 10 years old) ubuntu iso, because I had an app in deb format made for that version, that needed older libraries to run. Perhaps, there were other ways to run it, but running the older iso in a vm worked fine.

nossaquesapao,

I will give it some time then, thank you. Is there something I can do in case it doesn’t come back to normal?

nossaquesapao,

Just checked the logs, and they have thousands of this error: Failed to start tracker-miner-fs-3.service - Tracker file system data miner.

But I can’t find more info about what’s happening

nossaquesapao,

These issues happen a lot of times in statcounter data

nossaquesapao,

Statcounter works by collecting and processing user agent strings from browsers accessing sites that use their analytics. Unknows OSes are probably the ones who don’t give that info.

nossaquesapao,

For anyone interested in running epic games on linux, try heroic launcher.

nossaquesapao,

If your sleep issues are stress-related, like mine, no pillow will do any good. The only solution is to cut the source of stress…
