Well, my brother installed linux (mint) on more than 30 laptops that we were fixing to reuse. Im pretty sure none of them had any driver problems.

Tbh, unless you have a NVIDIA graphics card, or are using arch*, driver issues almost never happen.

*my personal thinkpads wifi board didn’t work in arch, but that may be because I had already borked that install completly.

What did sony do? I actually never heard anyone talk badly of them before.

“We will be in and out, 10 minutes”

Yeah, sharing hardware is pretty cool, but right now, both cripto and LLMs have a very bad reputation (at least among those more tech savvy), and them releasing these products makes some people (like me) feel that maybe they are just grifters… (I was considering kagi search, as pretty much all free search engines are garbage, but now i’m reconsidering lol [it was ou of my budget anyway]).

Yeah, I actually quite liked their VPN and was thinking about upgrading, now its a no go lol.

Altho I wouldn’t recommend you to give up on your privacy, maybe you can create a NAS or something, but don’t give up on your rights!

Yeah, but their llm doesn’t even disclose where it gathered its training data, very sus.

This is basically the doing of the futo non profit, they ate testing out if open source software can be profittable.

Louis Rossmann has a lot of videos about them (he works for them)

From what I get, you can just use it for free, but they don’t say it is free to compell more people to buy it.

Any help appreciated :)

May I ask you what script blocker I should use? I use Firefox with ublock.

cdn.polyfill.io^ ? By now it was probably already added to the default lista tho…

(I dont really understant these things tho, so correct me if I’m wrong)

Username checks out .

The Apple approved way of exiting vim

Cloudflare tunnel, and its alternatives, such as localXpose, altho the privacy is probably questionable, and a many of them require a domain.

I depends on the country, but definitely yes. And this is even more the case if you said “your city”. Most local politicians are just straight up bad.

I, as someone in a third world country, absolutely hate US foreign policy. Fuck you, we almost had a democracy for a minute. We didn’t need your highways either.

But you can’t blame these actions in the people of the US, as nor the army nor the FBI, CIA, and the other three letters are democratic.

I disagree with the climate change thing. There will be inevitable damage, which we should prepare for, but if we don’t try and stop it, even if it is past the 1.5 or more degrees, it will just get worse and worse, until it exhausts our repairs and kills us for good. If we dont stop it even if late, it will spiral out of control.

*it is one of the pieces of the puzzle. It is not renewable and generates trash that lasts thousands of years. It is another tool, and dismissing it is dumb, but it is not a silver bullet, and also isn’t that desirable for the long run.
