  • Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year

    Jump

  • Even when doing that, the bottleneck is the storage write speed. you can have 1Tb internet connection and it wouldn’t matter unless you have enough users in a home.

  • I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint

    Jump

  • Wish I could do that when my school computers had Dos and Turbo Pascal. Ah, the good old himem.sys times. Miles better than W11.

  • Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"

    Jump

  • I’ve never watched any of his videos. They just don’t appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, it’s good for linux.

    The more people acknowledge linux’s existence, the more engagement, the more growth.

    Here’s hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.

  • Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

    Jump

  • I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.

  • What was your first Linux distribution?

  • redhat 5.5

  • Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I think I read somewhere they want to buy Chrome from Google if they are forced to sell. So not many changes, just switching owners who ultimately do the same thing.

    i’m not a Chrome user, so screw both google and perplexity.

  • don’t forget the rudeness of some people. they behave like the whole building is a hotel and they can do whatever they damn well please.

    If it were up to me, I would obliterate this concept. Hotels are for holidays, not people’s houses where everyone brings along their holiday brains and are being generally disrespectful towards the communities.

  • What was Linux like in the 90s

    Jump

  • Wifi? imagine trying to get pci modems working and basically compiling your kernel each time you’d need an obscure driver. usb didn’t even exist and external ones were both expensive af and running on serial ports.

    good times honestly. I learned so much about linux.

  • ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it

    Jump

  • Maybe Sam Altman should invest in LLMs that appreciate his insights and pretend to give a shit.

  • JD Vance says Europe should have done more to stop Iraq War

    Jump

  • whenever I see any opinion from this shell of a person, I feel the exact same way. Same as Trump: toddler background chatter.

  • there’s Zen also. that also has normie defaults, however the drastically changed UI/Uxmight not be for everyone.

  • The U.S. Has Changed Its Mind About Europe

    Jump

  • Our european leaders have gotten lazier and lazier over time, with eastern block countries heavily affected by corruption and populist nationalistic propaganda has been spreading like wildfire recently.

    It’s time to get off our high horse and start investing in ourselves more and stop looking up to anyone else. They are not better than us, they were made to appear so and we’ve been just taking everything at face value.

    We have both the manpower and the resources, we just need to be more united and support and push for more relevant policies in our countries.

    Dunno, maybe it’s wishful thinking , but I just don’t want to be defined by what other countries say or do. We have to think for ourselves.

  • Now Europe Knows What Trump’s Team Calls It Behind Its Back: ‘Pathetic’

  • A couple of toddlers won the not-so-popular vote and now their egostistical egos are showing. nothing but baby talk and they need to be put in their place by their european grandmas.

  • Well, I guess there is no universal answer and it obviously can’t be some generic method of achieving this,but what I did was to explain in detail how MsOffice is basically just a standard because people made it so out of convenience and lack of true alternatives and it’s not cheap, plus whatever is made freely available by a corporation means it’s actually you paying with your data for it.

    It’s a process and you’d have to convince him to at least allow you to show them side by side or explain how it’s always up to date and you don’t have to throw money at it every x years just because it’s called MsOffice202x, because the benefits of upgrading are not worth the money.

    It ain’t easy, I know… but I am also providing support myself when requested, which can become a headache fast, especially with “difficult” people.

  • I managed to get my father in law to fully switch to libreoffice, which is in itself a great achievement, as he’s almost 70 and he used to be an msoffice user for most of his adult professional life.

    Libreoffice is just great and Europe should start backing and using more open source, non greedy corporate backed projects.

  • i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.

    Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.

    Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.

  • "You should probably just throw it away"

  • i’ve been on linux on and off since 1998, however I fully switched about 5 years ago and never looked back.

    I was curious around 3 months ago, between distro swapping and I installed W11. It lasted 2h until I rage installed linux and took me an entire day to wash the windows taste off. bleah…
