This is neat, but for some reason it doesn’t keep me signed in if I try to access a link from my home instance.

Don’t concern yourself with hardening.

Just use your computer like you normally would, solving issues as you encounter them.

Don’t let people drag you down rabbit holes.

Gnome devs shouldn’t have put the onus of adding settings onto addon developers…

Never going to forgive those fools for having something like “gnome tweak tools” be recommended to so many users without them adding an official implementation.

I totally agree.

Really wish we could get in the habit of recommending GUIs first, not last.

What? More compression?

Here I am wondering why in 2024 we don’t have the option to automatically decompress downloaded files like Apple users supposedly can.

Ahh well, I guess that’s why these designers don’t work for apple. They’re not good enough.

I think Ubuntu made sense back in the day when Debian wasn’t as user-friendly.

Now that Debian is, it looks like Ubuntu is trying really hard to just be as commercialized as possible.

I still don’t understand the logic behind their paying for updates for certain programs when Debian doesn’t require it.

Culture, which can change.

I agree. It’s great to have machines do the work we don’t want to do so we can do other things with our lives.

We just need to get over this mentality that those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less.

So… do nothing about it?

Not really.

Personally, I’ve found AI is wrong about 80% of the time for questions I ask it.

It’s essentially just a search engine with cleverbot. If the problem you’re dealing with is esoteric and therefore not easily searchable, AI won’t fare any better.

I think AI would be a lot more useful if it gave a percentage indicating how confident it is in its answers, too. It’s very useless to have it constantly give wrong information as though it is correct.

“Designers” desperate to stay relevant and make their worthless degrees seem worthwhile.

I actually just use my phone for internet and haven’t had a landline ISP for 2 years now.

Visible, $25/month has saved me so much money and they even sent me a free phone.

Everyone is different.

I personally think copyright and patent laws need to die. If you can’t protect your own secrets, don’t rely on taxpayer resources to do it for you.

Only because it would hurt their bottom line.

Funny how we can only win when it’s corporations fighting each other.

I’ve thought about this. Essentially, whenever a channel gets moderately successful they will be contacted by various agencies trying to ‘sponsor’ them.

All the people that make video for fun hardly get seen, and if they do it’s not long before they sell out.

I totally agree. Corporate interests and rampant consumerism have ruined the majority of the internet.

Glad we still have refuges like lemmy though to take solace in. Proportionally we’re a smaller part, but absolutely I’d say we’re about the same or larger than in the 2000s.

I want to install Debian on the USB drive from my currently running OS, Manjaro Linux.

I don’t want to have to boot from Debian installation media to install it on the USB drive.
