  • Don't buy American. Make America lose the trade war and crawl away from these tariffs

  • Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations (link to 2025 Priorities -> Focus on Reliabilty, Audi, Camera, etc)

  • Realistically, I would probably try a google free Android long before I'd try a more pure linux phone

  • Eventually I'll try one. I feel like it can be like desktop Linux where it take a very many many long years until it starts to chip away at single digit values of market share

  • Linux support for Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour is coming along now it's open source

    Jump

  • I played that and Red Alert 1/2 constantly early 2000s. Really exciting

  • Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s

    Jump

  • I'd be more than happy with 1GB/s drives for storage. I'd be happy with SATA3 SSD speeds. I'd be happy if they were still sized like a 2.5" drive. USB4 ports go up to 80Gb/s. I'd be happy with an external drive bay with each slot doing 1 GB/s

  • I'm sure there are data science/center people that can appreciate this. For me all I'm thinking is how hot it runs and how much I wish soon 20TB SSDs would be priced like HDDs

  • Utah Becomes First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Water

    Jump

  • It is sad in states with poor public health the condition you see people's teeth. There's always those that can afford dental care. Poor people can practice good habits but being able to see a dentist for a regular checkup/cleaning gives chance to be pestered to brush well, floss, etc. Utah teeth will look on average worse in the following decade

  • Recommendations for privacy-focused, open-source alternatives to corporate apps

  • I'd say try Linux. Ubuntu or Fedora and you'll realize how much of your computer usage is based out a web browser and it doesn't matter whether you have a Linux, Mac, or Windows computer

    Email you'll be stuck with some corporate entity that won't be 100% open source. Running an email server and your emails not being filtered is a pain. I use Proton applications for email, VPN, and Dropbox type service. They have a calendar but hard to beat google calendar

    Signal for pretty much texting. I actually have around a dozen people I primarily message through Signal so it's viable for me

    Matrix/Element for something like discord.

    Onlyoffice, Libreoffice, or WPS Office instead of MS Office. WPS may not be open source

    Browser use Firefox or Firefox forks

    Krita, Darktable, GIMP for image editing

    KeepassXC for my desktop password manager and whatever is available on Android

    Maps you can use Organic Maps

    Video editing i use kdenlive

  • Roku’s Moana 2 controversy is part of a bigger ad problem

  • Android TV at least you can do simple custom launchers. I'm still hoping a more normal Linux becomes popular for TV. Hoping maybe SteamOS will be the pathway for that

  • Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Signal has been with me for a decade. Have had Matrix/Element installed for years but no one i know uses it

  • I wrote an ebook on GNU awk with hundreds of examples and exercises

    Jump

  • I'm not expert in sed or awk. I always have to Google. For me though, it's generally that you can do a great deal in just one line of awk or sed. They're standard on any Linux distribution I've ever used. When building out pipelines, scripts that you want run from an installer you built post install and when removing, sed and awk rather than needing python.

    All really nice when you have strict configuration management and versioning and there's something deployed but it doesn't have the python packages installed that would make it easy in python and you can't just pip install it on hundreds+ of computers without going through a process of approval and building a new tagged version release but sed/awk/etc can do the job. If it's hard enough, python and whatever packages you can install. If simple enough to do in a small bash script, no python just what's standard in your Linux distro

  • It'll fall won't be as dramatic as Digg but it will decline over time. Probably not have a major exodus event like Musk buying Twitter and renaming it and sending people to try BlueSky and Mastodon

  • Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow?

    Jump

  • I use nvme enclosures. Very fast and very hot. I also got some fikwot ssd based flash drive that's about the size of a common flash drive. I've seen it sustain around 500MB/s very well. Some type of metal enclosure. At this point I'm probably only buying enclosures and small NVME drives or USB sticks where the enclosure is metal and reviews seem solid saying it's hitting SATA 3+ speeds sustained well

  • Over the years I always hear people in real life tell me how much they loved Parasite, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Harold and Maude, Everything Everywhere at Once. They never seem to be able to find movies they like. They never put much effort finding things they'd like

    They're all movies that are from indie filmmakers that managed to get mainstream recognition. Movies like O Brother Where Art Thou, There Will Be Blood, Pulp Fiction, etc. Auteur led movies making original movies. There are tens of thousands of movies being made with passion outside of just return on investment a year. Uncut Gems had some popularity some years ago.

    I can confidently say with certainty that at least a couple hundred a year are good to great. Almost none of them make more than like $5 million at the box office worldwide in their release year. Most barely get screens and even in AMCs they show to theaters of like 3 people

    Discovery issue but also even marketed with great trailers, people aren't going taking the risk of being disappointed. Either it goes viral or people aren't watching it. Japanese movies to non-Japanese people might as well just be anime adaptations and the latest Godzilla movie

    Korean movies was for a period just Old boy to people that googled and then just Parasite. Maybe the Wailing.

    Every other country in the US may as well not exist when it comes to movies. Like 1000 feature length movies a year from the US but the only ones people know are like 5 blockbusters a year where they may watch 2 and then when the Oscars come around they learn of a handful of indie movies and maybe try the best picture winner. That's it. Even a movie they like, they can't come up with the idea of seeing who directed or wrote it and see what else they've done. We can complain about studios all we want but time and time again we are shown that the general consumer including the whiners in here will not try to find what isn't already popular. Same with music, television, books, etc.

    Unless it has a cookie cutter easy to see the appeal hook, very few people will show up. Celebrities they think are attractive and action. Way more competition now though. I don't think romance movies are major anymore. Plenty of good content, you just don't know it and you don't take risks. That includes everyone complaining about Netflix. There's plenty on there and Amazon Prime. There's plenty that hits the AMC or other major chain. You just don't watch it. You're a part of the problem.

  • AMD Radeon RX 9070 + RX 9070 XT Linux Performance Review

    Jump

  • Hoping that it's possible to get one at a good price maybe end of summer. By the time it's possible to grab one, it'll be hot and I don't run AC. Once it's fall, used market at least hopefully isn't trash

  • Ultra wide vs. Multi-monitor setup?

    Jump

  • Ultra wide is better. If enough space an ultra wide and another 16:9 monitor. Games look so nice 21:9 and wider without the bezels of the older solution for ultra wide with multi monitors
