It’s funny because as somebody that’s been using Linux full-time for over 10 years I actually really really really really hate that Ubuntu is considered beginner friendly because I often find very very simple tasks incredibly frustrating on it.

I know that everybody disagrees with me but I genuinely think that something based on arch like Endeavor OS is genuinely more beginner friendly. You don’t have to fight with repositories to get up to date drivers, virtually any piece of software you could ever want is either already in the extra/community repo or available through the Aur. And while yes it is possible that an update could end up causing an issue on your system Pac-Man is just way way better about not completely destroying the system and it is pretty easy to roll back. Even in a really really bad worst case scenario booting from a live USB and rolling back with chroot is easy enough I’ve actually walked people through it before.

Meanwhile the amount of times on both Debian and Ubuntu that I have had apt completely eviscerate a system just trying to do basic updates and then just bail out Midway leaving the system so broken that the terminal barely functions anymore is frustrating. And there’s no particularly easy path to fixing that because dpkg is a fucking nightmare. Yes in the majority of those cases the system was multiple years out of date but that’s no excuse I have updated art systems that were upwards of almost 10 years out of date and other than me having to manually update the key ring and reinitialize the signatures it was able to Simply jump right to the latest just fine.

No, im a sysadmin that regularly hosts open source alternatives

I’ve got quite a few

I used to have a matrix home server but ended up just using an existing one in the long run. I would actually love an alternative to Twitter, mastodon just never really took off. This looks really good but i legitimately have nothing but problems with bluesky app. It’s performance is horrendous and I’ve watched it be horrendous on other people’s phones so it’s not just mine.

To be a little bit more specific I can easily trigger the behavior by let’s say browsing a specific art tag and then attempting to favorite multiple posts in a row. After I favorite one or two it’ll suddenly lock up stop accepting input other than letting me continue to scroll and I have to wait until it processes whatever it’s processing and then all the inputs suddenly catch up at once

Actually cinnamon doesn’t improve cinnamon. Anyone that’s attempted to cinnamon challenge can attest to this

Is this why the app is worthless trash? I just tried it and while scrolling through artists and trying to like posts to prime the algorithm the whole app will just stop responding. I can scroll but none of the buttons work. Can’t favorite, go back to home, anything until it suddenly does all the taps backlog at once.

Makes sense as it’s react native trash. I fucking hate that name. There is nothing native about react native it’s just web code garbage

Yes they have a canary entry on their transparency reports.

Business, the core of their business model over any other CDN is that steadfast privacy that they will only give information when it’s mandated by a court order

I just hate the pollution, leaf blower is literally do not fully combust their fuel and some of the fuel is atomized in the exhaust. Which is why they have that distinctive smell because you are literally smelling the unburnt fuel. Given that the task is 80% of the time just a waste of time of people pointlessly blowing leaves in the direction they would have naturally ended up from the wind (not collecting or piling them just moving) and I get annoyed by it.

Especially when you have those people that are out doing it literally every single goddamn week during fall. If it was an electric leaf blower then whatever the noise doesn’t bother me I’m just tired of fucking smelling it

Looked it up some, In ideal conditions, and with supervision. The pilot can’t just take a nap and forget about it. Which, two Tesla’s credit when you activate the feature for the first time it does make you read a large unskippable warning that you need to be paying attention at all times. I still don’t mind the name autopilot I just hate that they are marketing it as fully autonomous self-driving because that’s the part that implies you don’t need to be watching over it (to me)

Real Autopilot also needs constant attention, the term comes from aviation and it’s not fully autonomous. It maintains heading, altitude, and can do minor course correction.

It’s the “full self driving” wording they use that needs shit on.

Inb4 it actually stopped with hazards like I’ve seen in other videos. Fuck elon and fuck teslas marketing of self driving but I’ve seen people reach far for karma hate posts on tesla sooooooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The best citation I can give you at the moment is to have you ask your local Post office. I have before with mine and you can find many anecdotes of other people talking to their own post office and the answer you will generally get from the post office is that they deliver to an address and the owner of that address has the right to receive mail so when mailing to a business the business has the right to receive that mail even if it is somebody else’s name on the mail.

Technically it does violate a couple common laws depending on the situation. You can find an explanation at https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/tools/hr-answers/can-employers-open-employee-mail-sent-to-office

Use reading mode in Firefox to bypass the paywall

It will never cease to amaze me how people don’t understand the law. No opening that mail was not a federal crime, if it’s addressed to the business building than it is considered property of the business even if it has a specific person’s name on it. They are fully within their right to open the letter, is it a dick move and are they assholes? Yes, is it a federal crime? Absolutely not

Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader

Sooooo whos dick was she sucking to be allowed to keep playing

Literally will last your entire life

Except it can would and does. Lots of instances with overzealous owners/moderators that defederate or remove anything they don’t like

If you go rural enough and you find the mom and pop Christian own thrift stores you can still get those kind of deals.

Just recently I went to such a place and I got five stainless steel large (4qt) spice jars and a bunch of silverware for like $7 total.same things woulda been like $15 each at goodwill

I tried so many different office chairs, they all sucked. Even the more expensive ones. But the “secret labs” gaming chair was perfect. Gives whatever support my fucked up spine needs, has the right mix of cush but firm. And the little magnetic pillow is in the perfect spot. It was very expensive but worth it to me.

Most gaming chairs are memes tho I’ll say
