NixOS is missing cause they graduated early 😎

As a Computer Scientist, I increasingly believe this tech might actually be poison for the human mind, and I’m not sure what to do about it.

I want to believe we can make it actually useful. But I don’t know if that’s possible or not.

Of course I use SecureBoot, if you know how to set it up it has no inconvenients ! But that doesn’t go all the way up to the apps !

I have no idea what life was like before systemd so while I like it I have no way to compare

I was enthusiastic about LadyBird until I learnt that the guy leading the project i s a white supremacist, via pivot-to-ai.

Now I hope either someone else takes it over, or that it crashes and burns.

You know what ? If this law is only imposed on commercial operating systems, and I can make my free OS lie and say I’m 100+ ; then maybe this could work.

The option of having a full auth trust chain would be nice for some security applications, but the implication that it could be made compulsory is terrifying.

Eurgh ! This is just INFESTED with horrible AI writing clichés. All the “it’s not X — it’s Y” and the extraneous lists, the absolute abuse of putting titles everywhere.

What a MESS of an article, all just to say something that should have been patently obvious to anyone who is not a brain-poisoned moron.

Don’t let AI turn you into this. Take a stance, stay human.

I like Gnome’s apps, and I think I would install Gnome on any non-techie user’s computer.

But for myself ? I want all the options ! So I use KDE. Probably going to switch to a tiling WM, I’d like my whole desktop experience use tmux shortcuts, basically.

Do you really think that will survive ? It’s next on the chopping block with GrapheneOS if they keep going this way.

Humans may not be obligate herbivores ; nonetheless eating meat invariably hurts us in the short and long term.

Meet is like alcohol, you can get your calories from booze ; but why would you inflict that upon yourself ?

Eating meat is only deleterious. You may be able to stave off the visible consequences for a while, but make no mistake, it is eating you from the inside.

We were not meant to feed upon murder.

Proof ? Vegans are the only human group to be consistently healthy and long lived. We are exempt from many illnesses considered nigh-inevitable, even when genetically predisposed.

🤣

I have an extremely simple solution for this made-up problem : Just don’t eat meat 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are you, a tiger ? No ? Then why do you put yourself through this, when it only makes you sicker the more you do it ?

Cool beans, unfortunately GrayJay doesn’t fucking work at all, no matter what I try and on which device.

So I gave up. I use the YouTube website via IronFox on mobile, and LibreWolf on computers ; with lots of extensions to de-bloat it.

If this happens, I guess it’s Linux Phone time for me… I’m pretty certain GrapheneOS will be able to get around this abuse of power for a while, but it wouldn’t take much effort from Google to kill them too ; they almost already have…

Or maybe dumb phone time ? But I like browsing Wikipedia and playing chess and RetroArch on my phone, I don’t want to lose that just because big G$ said so…

No. Fuck the KOSA, it’s the equivalent of burning down your house to get rid of a cockroach infestation.

Meta should be liable for their algorithm, no more, no less.

So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it’s worked out well for me.

I tend to prefer getting the apps directly from the code repositories via Obtainium, but I use F-Droid to search for apps !
