  • I'm not using a VPN though

  • You want to run it on the phone itself? I don't think any phone would be good enough for that. The issue with AI assistants is not just privacy. It's also the resource consumption (and of course stolen content). It's so high and only these big companies with huge server farms can do it.

    If you just want a voice assistant for simple commands, I've heard of an open source local assistant called Dicio. But I don't think you can talk to it like ChatGPT or something.

  • What do you mean suck up to? They're our mentors in genocide. And collaborators

  • I remember trying all this on GNOME before finding the extension. But I'll check again, thank you

  • Display & Monitor says Built in Screen. The brightness slider here doesn't work either. What else can I check?

  • But Solus is rolling release.

  • KDE @lemmy.kde.social

    Brightness control not working on laptop

  • Similar thoughts and after hopping a bit I'm liking Solus really well. It's rolling release but what they call "curated" rolling release. They take a little bit of time to iron stuff out. There's a weekly update cycle.

    The installation is through live ISO and was pretty easy, took only a few minutes. They have a Plasma ISO too, since you mentioned wanting KDE.

    As a plus, I've not once used the command prompt in the past couple of months since I installed (GNOME first and then since the last week, KDE). I'm not averse to commands but I do want something that I can recommend to my less techy anti-capitalist friends. My games have all been working fine too.

    Edit to add: I think they've also mentioned that their aim is for a personal desktop.

  • Makes sense. Thank you!

  • Okay, yeah that sounds a little tedious. I'll think a bit more

  • I'm not sure if I understand the last bit.

  • Self-hosting @slrpnk.net

    Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server?

  • GenZedong @lemmygrad.ml

    Matrix, Element, and links with US Gov and NATO

  • That's great, thank you

  • Thank you! That's pretty reassuring.

  • Thank you so much for the detailed response! I might be able to stretch out to 4GB RAM on the Pi

    I've been finding it a bit difficult to understand the hardware part of things. For example, the hubzilla FAQ you shared says 512M and not MB. Does that not refer to RAM?

    And I've also not been able to find any guides about the "levels" in hardware. If not the Pi, then what? How do I decide? How do I explore?

    What are the recommended server specs for different Fediverse software? (Especially Hubzilla)

  • Fediverse @lemmy.ml

    What are the recommended server specs for different Fediverse software? (Especially Hubzilla)

  • Thank you. That does sound annoying but .com is both boring and more expensive.

  • Is there something you would recommend? I'm definitely not going back to WhatsApp. Signal works. But the centralization makes me feel iffy

  • What is it?

  • Privacy @lemmygrad.ml

    Matrix Foundation and Element proudly declaring their association with NATO

  • Ohh, I maybe should clarify. I don't intend to use my own server. I have a provider - disroot.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Will there be any issues with a .place domain for email?

  • Thank you! Also, if I want different domains for different Hubzilla accounts within the same server, would that be possible? Like the server itself is a.hub, but an account in the hub wants to use b. space as it's domain, like username@b.space, would I be able to allow that?

  • Yeah I am not going to host my own email. I have a provider who I'm going to ask to attach the custom domain. Only the WordPress/Hubzilla instance I might host on my own.

  • Fediverse @lemmy.ml

    Can I use the same domain for hosting a fediverse instance and also for custom domain for email?

  • Fediverse @lemmy.ml

    Is there a "macroblogging" platform on the Fediverse?

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Any disroot email users? How is the service?

  • Fedora Linux @lemmy.ml

    Windows VM without a Microsoft Account
