  • Which health apps do you recommend?

  • Can't speak for them, but it's very useful for interfacing with any number of smart watches/scales and more with on-device data storage. It doesn't always support things perfectly, but it's definitely good enough to prevent a need for manufactuer specific apps for the devices it does support.

  • Oh don't worry. They believe it's man made, just not in the way you want.

  • Everything is lovely. Fences is definitely user preference though. I'm too generally disorganized to make use of it

  • Microsoft's design philosophy in any of their products has gone from well organized menus to relying instead on a search bar. Copilot is a further addition to that design, with yet more pushes to never use a menu, but instead just tell it what you want and have it spit it back out. They want everything you make to go on OneDrive as well, so it can also be indexed this way. Teams works the same way. The big search bar at the top is unavoidable.

    Windows search is complete garbage, which you might think is a counterpoint, but instead it's just that they only put work into having it serve results for cloud-indexed items or web results.

  • The selling point for me right now with Plasma is how well rounded it is. It's also currently the only desktop env offering HDR support, which means it's basically a must for me.

  • That's literally the whole point of GIMP 3

  • Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

    跳过

  • Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

  • Federated social media from before it was cool

    跳过

  • It is also worth considering that yes, MS and Google have definitely dominated the market through superior products, but the standards they've pushed for and established have also made it difficult for other players to enter. If we wanted to say that the federated nature of email is dead, I think that's a fair argument still.

    Hosting your own email server is quite difficult. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to land in anyone's mailbox without assistance. If you want to make a mailing list, you basically need to use a mailing service, lest you get blacklisted by major systems owned by MS and Google. Much of this is a byproduct of spam, by which I don't blame Google and MS for doing their best to protect against, but at the same time they have more or less neutered some core aspects of what made email accessible.

  • Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux

    跳过

  • Ah, my bad. I think I misunderstood your point and took you to be gatekeeping rather than just attempting to defend against misinformation or poor comparisons.

    You're right, it's not a Windows replacement. It shouldn't be expected that it's analogous to Windows. My previous statement was coming from the expectation that people moving from Windows to Linux as their primary OS of choice was that they were explicitly looking for the advantages offered by it, rather than simply expecting to get away from Microsoft while needing to adjust to nothing new.

  • This is...kind of stupid? There's such a plethora of options in the Linux space for desktop environments, workflow customizations, configurability, etc. nothing is locked down by taking a Windows-style approach to a DE. Instead it follows a tried philosophy that's only really been hampered by Microsoft's decision to funnel users into an frustrating hole that removes the choice to disable or modify features you don't like. KDE in particular has always been a Windows-style DE, and it's currently one of the best options for modern features and extensive customizability. Hyprland is literally designed for linux enthusiasts. Gnome is the Mac analog, Xfce is your light-weight but functional, etc.

    You're upset because people are looking for more options? That's bizarre. I came from Windows, but I guarantee my setup is different than someone else who comes from Windows because that's the flexibility that's offered. No one coming from Windows wants it to be exactly like Windows, they just want to be able to use their computer in a way that allows them to work, to play games, to watch media, etc. It's a computer. It's your computer. It should be able to do what you want.

  • Almost nine gigabytes in size: Windows update 24H2 creates an undeletable cache file

    跳过

  • Nah, this is just what it's been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it's been more or less the same.

  • TIL Chris Cocker who is now Cara Cunningham went into pronography after her viral leave britney alone video.

  • It's a bit difficult in a case like this, as it does add context and acknowledges their new identity so as to link what was a well known video to an existing person. I'd struggle to know who this was otherwise. I don't think there's any malintent here.

  • I don't know about the latter half of your statement, but my main reason for its use is pretty simply just that there's more music available, and it doesn't take all the time it normally would to get invited to a good music tracker. If anything, specialized Torrent trackers that could offer the same volume of music are a much bigger pain go deal with.

  • Soulseek is a P2P file sharing system centered around music in particular. It's pretty direct. Unlike a torrent where you'll have multiple seeds for a single source, you're connecting directly to other individuals for the content. It generally operates under the expectation that you're also sharing something, and some users may opt not to allow downloads to people who do not also allow downloads from themselves. The downside to this system is you may need to wait for that person to come online before you can start a download, while with a torrent, other seeders can fill that gap.

    It's survived as a pretty big platform for music hoarders to source hard to find material, but it's so dead simple to use and it has a quick and reliable search. Nothing secretive about it, it's basically just another P2P network that has more in common with Napster than the Pirate Bay

  • Can I introduce you to soulseek? I promise it's going to serve way better than torrents for that kind of stuff.

  • BIOS updates are the only way to receive critical stability and security patches. They can take a bit of time, but these days its generally pretty straight forward. Some manufacturers even allow you to check online right from the UEFI so you don't need to rely on an ancient USB drive.
