Tried Fedora Silver blue or universalblue spins? Unless you do serious embedded development work (which takes more setup on atomic distros), then I have experienced that it is less work in general in setup and upkeep.

You can buy github stars and forks nowadays.

Considering you need large parts from custom CNC aluminum, likely in the 5k range I would guess.

Edit: I was wrong. I went the the website and they sell complete kits for a like 1300. I think that is with 3D printed parts and not much aluminum.

I think it really depends. People literally have significantly less time than they did in 2005 when WoW got big. People have to work longer or multiple jobs just to pay sky high rent and mortgage prices with long, stagnated wages.

I get wanting to bring back the nostalgia of a bygone era but these community mmo’s where they were very social were a gigantic time sink that most people simply can’t do now.

This is a bit vindicating lol. Every single social media post on the internet even here on Lemmy when something comes out about scalping people for more of their data there is a top comment saying: “do this and this to opt out” as a solution and it gets high visibility.

I usually say “yeah, there is a high chance that does nothing” and there are always people who say that is not true, without exception… Well, here is more proof.

SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.

I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.

First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.

Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).

But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.

It also has the bonus that is one file has an issue, it doesn’t lock up and crash every single other open document in different instances across excel, word, powerpoint, everything lol

Centralized platforms for multiple uses and a huge tool ecosystem. That is it. It is simply much much much easier to set up and get a consistent experience.

Embedded coding (as an example) has an extremely scattered ecosystem of vendor-run IDE forks which are usually a pretty bad experience.

Their commandline documentation is often complete trash so instead of fixing that, they just make a simple plugin for vscode and they have a cross-compatible IDE that already works with all of their customers’ favorite plugins with very little work.

Also, code-server. There is no other IDE that has an experience like that as far as I know.

I live in Belgium and the law is there, but it seems pretty much ignored. At the time there were some games that were changed (battlefront II 2, overwatch, FIFA, etc…) But it seems like everything after just ignores the law. CS2 still had lootboxes, genshin impact, rocket league, apex legends, league, etc…

I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying. But censorship and echo chambers on a platform level are a related, but different issue.

I agree that Lemmy is very much anti-censorship.

an environment in which somebody encounters only opinions and beliefs similar to their own, and does not have to consider alternatives

However, echo chambers can exist with 0 platform censorship whatsoever. It doesn’t have to be the platform’s fault. If people only read and interact with communities who’s viewpoints confirm their own, that is a completely self-made echo chamber. Completely seperate than censorship and completely unrelated to the platform, but instead the people and community moderators.

For example, hexbear users pretty much only interact with hexbear and .ml users (and often ban others). That is an echo chamber. The .world main communities ban people of both too far right and too far left so there is little interaction of those viewpoints with those communities. That is an echo chamber. The community of open source doesn’t ban many people, but the only people who go to that community are very positive about open source. That is an echo chamber.

If you have a dozen rooms in the same building and you have 1 room that thinks the world is flat and the people don’t go into any other room, even though they have free and open access and can go to hear the opinions of the 11 other rooms, that room is an echo chamber

Lol nope, i don’t use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.

I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.

I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.

Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren’t as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven’t spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say “propaganda won’t work on me”

People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.

Duh, stream a b&w tty terminal in all of its glory! What is ssh?

What I don’t get is that is

Maybe not a good example because all TVs and Smart fridges run MCUs (or SBUs) that are 10x-20x more powerful than what is in any smart watch besides the apple watch (where the watch is mostly one gigantic custom IC).

They usually run NXP I.MX Arm M7 processors at the bare bare bare minimum, much more common is an ARM A7 or higher which is a completely different world than the tiny nrf52840 with 192KB of RAM and 1MB of flash that is standard across lower-end smart watches (and doesn’t go upuch with higher end) That is why I was confused. But I guess people get down voted to hell for asking a question lol

I would think Linux would be way too heavy for these watches. A lot of them use pretty lean MCUs, a far cry from the beefy Qualcomm phone chips that Post market runs on.

Even running zephyr on the NRF52840 can get heavy with adding a bunch of apps to it.

Nah, it is pretty much if you didn’t buy one of 2 trendy models of the year, then nothing else has ever or will ever be supported (of course you can always write your own drivers but it is a ton of work, especially for non-coders)

I have a thought that a lot of the enthusiasts that go through the pain and effoet of writing all of these drivers for old phones they have were usually the kind of people to buy the best/most popular device of the year

Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?

How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.
