Fortunately the only issue I’ve had with mine is one time it decided it didn’t want to mount properly. I got it fixed, but then pulled everything I wanted to keep off it and switched to BTRFS. I imagine people with dual-boot are more likely to see issues though.

NTFS works with proton as long as you set up your /etc/fstab properly to make sure it’s mounted as writeable, but I believe you also need proprietary drivers… I can’t remember now, but up until a couple weeks ago I had my storage drive with all my games mounted in Fedora and it was NTFS from my previous win11 install.

I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.

Fediverse doesn’t (as of yet) have a monetization path because of it’s “self hosted” structure - I put it in quotes because most people use large instances, but anyone can spin up their own and federate.

The big risk with this is that if it reaches a critical mass where advertisers see potential for profit, the mechanism that would be most convenient, especially with LLMs, is bots.

Say Toyota wants to promote their new car. They contract an advertising agency, who spins up a few dozen LLM agents trained on Lemmy data and instructions to talk up the latest new car. It might make posts, or just comments, but in all cases it will eventually promote that product.

All that for the cost of a few tokens, and the only giveaway would be the “AI phrasing”, if anyone catches it.

For my classes, anything that was graded was not done from the textbook it was either online questions or from a worksheet. Any work given from the textbook was just for our practice and not graded. They’d usually just call out sections of questions based on that day’s lesson.

suggesting Nazis exist in Ukraine (where they welcomed Hitler and exterminated upwards of 1.6 million Jews)

You mean ‘The Ukraine’, as in, a member state of the USSR as it existed at that time, and not ‘Ukraine’ a sovereign country, which it has been since 1991.

Had me in the first half…

I am not against having somewhat complicated skill/research trees, but I think the early stages should be simple, then becomes more complex as the player has had more time in-game to learn and make informed choices on the higher tiers.

Which gives me an idea… why not include the skill tree in the difficulty setting? Easier modes would simplify the tree, and kind of “package” skills together.

I’ve always preferred KDE, I tried mint and pop at one point, but wasn’t a fan of either cinnamon or cosmic. After that I ran through a bunch of KDE based distros and landed on Fedora as the one that had plasma 6, wayland, and worked well with my hardware. It’s been about 6 months now and aside from small hiccups it has worked well for me.

Kubuntu was an absolute disappointment, I agree that Canonical has lost the plot.

Amateurs not keeping at least one backup off-planet SMH

Windows 3.1 was peak Windows and I will engage in fisticuffs with anyone who disagrees.

If it has to be a sedan-type vehicle, then it’s 100% a Toyota Corolla - boring AF, but bulletproof and everyone has parts for it.

MacOS

zip ties are single use though, better to get a pack of velcro cable ties

with so many Windows programs being just PWAs these days, running everything in a browser is really no different anymore.

IT probably has tools to manage policy on Mac and Windows, but have not set anything up for Linux and as a result cannot manage your computer.

Good to know, I’ll check that out tonight, thanks!

I’ve been running Fedora for a few weeks and if I update it every time there’s updates available, I’d be rebooting nearly daily, because it insists on rebooting for “system packages”, where debian and even Arch based distros did not require restarts for most things… I’m not even using an immutable version of Fedora

probably around the Fedora level, they’re fairly equivalent.

The REAL question is, where does Hanna Montana OS fall on the scale?

Something like this is useful as well if you have a large item to convert since you can offload that processing to your server/NAS and not have it bog down your PC/phone/etc
