Ian, is that you? I know things are still in flux, but it’s good to finally hear from you!

I learned to follow hashtags, not people on mastodon myself…

wayDroid does let you do that, in a fairly lightweight way (uses Linux namespaces iirc, similar to lxc.

It’s still not full native, which would be even nicer. I play droidfish on my Linux machines using it.

Because hosting costs money, and sustainable services need revenue sources.

News we read was put together by a team of journalists, editors, etc.

Video streaming takes a lot of storage, bandwidth, processing, licensing.

And so on.

Price gouging is bad, but reasonable income is necessary.

Billboard ads that don’t target users and don’t track effectiveness are dangerous financially for advertisers, and would pay much less to ad hosters.

Anonymous, aggregated tracking is a healthy compromise.

Kudos for putting together good reasons that you don’t like PPA, while also acknowledging that Mozilla is trying to solve a problem.

Yours is one of the very few reasonable objections I’ve read IMO - when the PPA outrage first erupted, I read through how it worked. Unique ID + website unaware of interaction, but browser recognizing, then feeding it to an intermediate aggregator that anonymizes data by aggregating from multiple users without sharing their IDs, with the aim of trying to find a middle ground seems fair to me. Especially with the opt-out being so easy.

However, your points about classes clickbait encouragement, SEO feeding, and the uncertainty that this will solve the web spamminess as it is are valid concerns.

I wonder if this is heaven or hell 😅

It is finally upon us.

THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!

Terms and conditions apply. It could be the next year, or the year after, or not at all.

Sounds like dogs barking at/with each other in the night back when I was growing up. You’d hear the occasional how-how-hoooooww from one of them, and others would join in. Wolf’ish in some ways. The city I grew up in was much less crowded back then.

Now: I guess self driving cars fill in the void left by dogs not barking at each other anymore.

Nominative determinism is pretty accurate. Steve Jobs did generate a lot of jobs. Bill Gates had a lot of gates to his name.

Balls of plastic. Descended from balls of steel 💪

This is the caveat for me for now.

To run locally a powerful graphics card with at least 6 GB VRAM is recommended. Otherwise generating images will take very long!

I’ve got decent RAM on an I9, but my graphics card, which is what matters here, isn’t up to par.

Linux Mint Debian Edition would be a pretty solid, pre-customized distribution.

I’ve had great experiences with Linux on Lenovo over the years: would be my first recommendation.

I currently use a Dell Inspiron, while it’s works great, I had to do some extra work occasionally. I love that I can get fingerprint login with it on Linux though.

Why not try it for yourself on Linux mint first by installing plasma? Plasma 5 is available on mint - I believe Fedora has plasma 6.

I use plasma 6 on my Opensuse Slowroll laptop and plasma 5 on my LMDE desktop.

Overall, I’ve found plasma 6 to run slightly better (I was on plasma 5 on Slowroll too for a long time).

Once you install and try plasma 5 on your current install, that will be a much less disruptive way to see how well it works for you.

After ricing, both plasma 5 and 6 are pretty similar on my setup. The cube desktop effect isn’t there by default on plasma 5 of course.

I second endless os. Parental controls, locked down system, comes prepackaged with many educational apps.

Sorry, good catch.

It had been a while since I had played briefly with kiosk mode in a VM: I misremembered the project (the one I played with was still available)

I had found it interesting, and had set it up… Probably been around a year or so.

The project I used was Gnome kiosk, not Fedora kiosk.

They do. They did. What do you do when a ‘good guy’ is really a bad guy? Happens outside of software too. Someone inserts themselves into an organization while secretly working against its interests.

Here’s a good summary. However, you should read a few articles - plenty have been going around, including on Lemmy.

As with all definitions, there is a gray area where people will have different boundaries on exact meanings. To you - a supplier relationship needs an explicit payment, which is a fair definition.

However, the more widely used definition that most people, including me, refer to, is not necessarily focused on the supplier, but on the supply - what we use in our toolchains is a supply - regardless of how it was obtained.

When there is an issue in a trusted supply, even if it was not a commercial relationship (a prerequisite by your definition), it is a supply-chain attack by the more widely used definition.
