  • Linux and your family

    Jump

  • I don't think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

  • You should be using an RSS reader.

  • Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.

  • Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all

    Jump

  • Yes, obviously, I could Google this, but I'm looking for real peoples' opinions. I've owned OnePlus and LG android phones previously to my current Samsung. I loved my OnePlus phones, but my current provider doesn't support them.

    Edit: LOL. I just realized you were suggesting Google as an android phone manufacturer.

  • What is the best Android phone manufacturer after we count out Samsung?

  • Police officer's gun sucked away by powerful magnets in lab raid

    Jump

  • If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

  • Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

  • US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues

    Jump

  • I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

  • TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

  • Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don't sweat.

  • I'm totally going to try this.

  • Cinema Stare – Deep End

    Jump

  • Thanks for this! I spent the better part of the last hour going through the older videos on that channel. Awesome stuff.

  • Before your change to Linux

    Jump

  • I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

  • Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service

    Jump

  • If AI is better than the existing voice-prompt systems, then I'll take it, but I doubt it will be.

  • Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)

    Jump

  • I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

    I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

  • I see what you did there.

  • Looking for a music server

    Jump

  • Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it's worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It's going to happen eventually.
