  • Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless

    Jump

  • This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

    Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the Kaleido Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.

  • Coordinated Alt-Right misinformation network being pushed to the front page of Reddit.

    Jump

  • I've suspected this was a thing for a while now but it's nice to see someone naming names. Many subs ban MAGA/hateful content, so a workaround they use is sharing it "innocently" by someone who's "confused as to what the controversy is". A big one is right wings memes being posted in /r/peterexplainsthejoke with the user feigning ignorance as to their meaning. OOTL is another.

  • Reddit admin doesn't like that /r/CirclejerkSopranos is political and threatens their mods to remove the politics, or shut it down

  • HA. At least your account died for a good cause?

  • Which distro for a non-technical windows user?

    Jump

  • Oh interesting I read "atomic" and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.

  • Anyone here who still has a reddit account should hop in that thread and link to the Lemmy version!

  • Which distro for a non-technical windows user?

    Jump

  • It's actually slightly less risk especially for someone's PC you won't be around 100% of the time to help fix. Immutable just means the system files can't be edited.

    The "atomic" part means it gets frequent (daily, if desired) updates but you can change in the settings to only check monthly so it doesn't feel crazy.

  • I support this and would suggest Fedora Kinoite which is Fedora's immutable version with KDE Plasma and is very very hard to meaningfully break.

  • It has a chatbot powered by a large language model. Not sure that qualifies as "AI".

  • Do I dare say it 🥺

  • Right, and I'm saying Zorin is perfect for them. Zorin exists in a weird space where it's great for the type of person who would never really consider installing Linux in the first place.

  • No it's a great recommendation.

  • Yes Bazzite is great I tried it out recently and loved it.

  • I didn't say "average person" and end the sentence. I said the average person installing linux. The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

    I would consider act of installing Linux itself to be "tinkering".

  • Do I dare say it 🥺

    Jump

  • The average person who is installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.
