As soon as this phone kicks the bucket, I’m getting grapheneOS. (Sadly, my current phone is too old to be supported)
- Comment on International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative 22 hours ago:
Has anyone used OpenDesk? Looks like they have a community edition
- Comment on ICE's 'Frightening' Facial Recognition App is Scanning US Citizens Without Their Consent 1 day ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_dazzle it’s been done before. AI facial recognition gets a little overhyped
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 6 days ago:
Hey man, the playing-pinball-while-a-cat-interferes peertube community is very close-knit (video.apz.fi).
I kid, but it’s true that peertube lacks the dopamine hooks and variety that youtube does. It’s much harder to sink hours into watching a bunch of videos that you’ll only half remember by the next day.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 week ago:
Maybe Marginalia could work for you? I’ve tried using it, but it’s a lot more focused on academic stuff (rather than figuring out song lyrics or which episode some TV quote came from). It’s an “old school” search engine, though, so a bit less convenient than google, duckduckgo, etc. if you weren’t around in 90s/early 00s for that.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 2 weeks ago:
When google shoves their ai to the top of search results, its hard not to read it. I’ve been spoiled by ublock and I am no longer used to ignoring the first few things that come up.
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t blocked anyone here, but on Tumblr I started unfollowing folks who posted about doom and gloom all the time. That site’s more conducive to memes and TV show discussions than it is discussion about news/politics, and I don’t like scrolling through a bunch of superhero memes and then getting hit with a post about the latest atrocity in the world. That stuffs important, but it’s not healthy to fixate on it all the time.
It’s important to curate what you’re doing so that you dont fall into a doomscrolling trap or get ragebaited into arguments that go nowhere.
- Comment on When I see a PR that was "co-authored" by Claude... 3 weeks ago:
A more ambitious pull request than just fixing some typos, for sure
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 3 weeks ago:
Timing is a fools game for sure. Bubble could pop next month, next year, or even later.
If you’re old, make sure you have a good percent in bonds. If you’re young, make sure you have 6-12 months saved in case of layoffs and keep saving - market will look completely different in 20-30 years anyways so it’s not worth worrying about.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 2 months ago:
No, what you say makes sense, and I think it’s part of the reason why linux usage (as a daily driver) is starting to increase now versus 20 years ago. It’s just easier to install and use linux distros nowadays.
And most folks who want office for free are going to go with google docs, for the convenience factor.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 2 months ago:
The assumption that you’ll lose a lawsuit against a large corporation probably stops a lot of viable lawsuits from ever happening - good for him for giving it a go.
- Comment on Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots) 2 months ago:
The newer zelda games are interesting since you can see how the world has changed between botw and totk, but on the macro scale you’re definitely right. Most zelda games have formula of “all is well, bad guy appears to threaten realm, link saves the day, back to normal”. BOTW was an interesting way to change that formula - hyrule isn’t restored after you beat ganon, but things change with new settlements being formed and so on in totk
