Fuck off with that defeatist bullshit.

Make them drag you ckicking and screaming. Only morons and cowards walk in lock-step with the corpos

vendor lock-in and potential future corporate enshittification are non-issues.

For now.

In some countries, banks require users use their app on IOS or Google’d Android. You can’t use their services via browser, LineageOS, GrapheneOS

If Syncthing is working on your immutable distro, it’s probably packaged with the distro withiut you being aware of it

Bazzite probably has Syncthing baked into the distro, like Nobara does. That is not the case with SteamOS, so it gets wiped with each OS update

Syncthingy is just a dashboard. It doesn’t have the service packaged in, you have to set it up separately as a systemd service if it isn’t already included in your distro, which will get rewritten by SteamOS

Not quite. I’ve run into a gaming case where immutability becomes a problem: Syncthing.

If you want to synchronize emulator saves between devices then Syncthing is great at that, but it takes a lot to get around the immutability without relying on unmaintained flatpaks (aka Syncthing-gtk). At least not on Steam Deck, which doesn’t have Syncthing baked into the main distro

They really suck to use in Firefox

In Chromium browsers you get “Open tab in group” in the context menu when you tap & hold a link, which makes a tab group if your current tab didn’t already exist in one, then add the link as a new tab in the group.

In Firefox, you don’t get that option in the drop down menu. You can only open a new, completely separate tab. To make a tab group, you have to manually combine 2 tabs, and if you want to add tabs to the group you have to make them outside of the group first and add manually.

Also, in Firefox you can’t remove tabs from a group without closing the tab.

After getting feedback and suggestions on how to make tab groups worthwhile, they promised to add the fixes in either 155 or 156. It’s looking like we’ll have to wait until after 159 for the fixes.

And I’m already not a big fan of Mozilla at the moment. I recently switched phones and found out that they only let you sync bookmarks between devices if you have an account with them and sign in.

Brave browser doesn’t require a sign in for sync. They let you sync E2EE’d by connecting individual devices without an account similar to Syncthing

Still no update on when mobile tab groups will be in a usable state? What the hell? They promised to have them fixed in v155.0

A single repo hub doesn’t want to host LLM-generated code. It’s not like there aren’t others that are friendly to LLM-code, including the largest one: GitHub. And GitHub will never ban LLM code, they’re too integrated with it. And Codeberg is just a specific Forgejo instance. Nothing is stopping you from hosting your own if you really want to.

You’re taking a single instance of a provider adding an extra stipulation to their TOS and equating it to governments banning the use of LLM’s. It’s not, and the government isn’t going to be taking away your LLM. Quit acting like it is.

This is the exact opposite. Trying to ban AI from everything despite its use cases.

This is a pure, bold-faced lie. But this is nothing new from AI evangelists.

This is about banning AI contributions from specific open-sourced projects. This is due to a number of legitimate concerns that are still not solved, such as maintainability and how AI development legally interacts with licenses such as the GPL

You want to go and start an open sourced project that uses AI from the start? Go ahead, nothing is stopping you. You want to install AI programs on your OS? Go ahead, nobody is stopping you

But don’t cram that bullshit into the OS itself. Doing so then forces AI onto everybody whether they want it or not, and that’s bullshit

We’ll stop when the AI evangelists finally learn the idea of consent and quit trying to force AI down everyone’s throats nonstop.

You want to shrivel up your brain with AI? Go ahead, you’re an adult (presumably) and I’m not your mom. Go access it through a browser or separate app. Quit trying to force it into my face by integrating it into the OS or DE. And while you’re at it, quit continually going “BuT dId YoU cOnSiDeR tHiS???1?” like a door-to-door salesman that jams their foot in the door so you can’t close it

20-30% cheaper is really fighting against this argument

Still not remotely enough to be profitable

Remember that once you normalize this behavior, the fascists can use it too.

The fascists don’t care. They’ll work to normalize whatever they want regardless

Why is a .ml user advocating for something used to take bargaining power away from workers?

Hyprland started out by being run by a fascist, as explained in the article

but I get constant video recommendations on YouTube from Tech Bros telling me to install this thing, and then 90% of Lemmy hate it,

It’s run by a fascist. That’s why the techbros like it and Lemmy hates it.

Maybe ram usage? Bazzite is one of the bulkiest distros on that front, sitting at ~4GB usage at idle. I have no idea where SteamOS sits in comparison though

Why isn’t GRUB menu a fancy little thing by now?

Because you can’t improve on perfection

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.

Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them

Yes. The guy habitually puts his foot in his mouth
