  • Firefox’s AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem

  • I disagree. Being able to choose which llm features I want is a win, and being able to use a local llm to translate language is better than sending data to Google to do that.

  • Got me

  • One distro for the next five years?

  • I'd go with Ubuntu LTS - it receives updates for 5 years and security updates only for another 5 years. In other words, it is explicitly for your use case. Additionally, it offers kernel live patching as a free managed service, which nobody else offers afaik.

  • Any foss app for streaming sites.

  • Funny, I went the opposite direction. I wanted one source of truth for all my devices.

  • For 2fa, I highly recommend 2fas -- it is free, open source, available for web and mobile, and it's interface is smart. Lots of 2fa apps are stupid, Google auth included. Authy is especially stupid. Bitwarden also does 2fa, and it's super convenient because it adds the code directly to the clipboard usually.

    For notes, consider obsidian.

  • made my first bash file to make yt-dlp easier

    Jump

  • You could make it an alias and shorten the number of keystrokes

    I prefer keeping my aliases in ~/.bash_aliases, which is sourced in my ~/.bashrc, ie

     
            . ~/.bash_aliases

    Then you would just need to source your bashrc to load it the first time.

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • Not yet it seems. Also looks like it doesn't have a pedometer function. Hopefully a future version will add those, along with some way of downloading that data

  • back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.

  • Wut? Rage Against The Machine was always political. What do you think they meant by the album name "Evil Empire"?

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • C suite at work has been ramping up pressure, and the news is very Israeli lately. AI has helped me navigate new challenges, but I want to learn to do those things on my own, so I'll be studying. Also thinking I might start canvassing for the candidates I like (a demsoc and a soc)

  • Is there a way to automate ad-free podcast downloads?

    Jump

  • gpodder could probably accomplish what you want

  • App for sharing my phone screen on tv through androidtv?

    Jump

  • Not an app, but you could get a usb-c to HDMI converter and then plug your phone into the HDMI port on your TV

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • Those are indeed normal stumbling blocks.Thanks for being one of the very few Linux game devs!

  • Help me understand the workflow for cloning dotfiles after a fresh install without hosting dotfiles in the cloud

    Jump

  • You could host gitea locally on a spare computer and use that to store you dotfiles.

  • Mom's Linux mint install keeps going to a black screen

    Jump

  • Check /var/log/syslog, dmesg, and /var/log/auth.log

    Like the others suggest, try setting up ssh access so you can see what's happening.

    If you use ssh and login, I'd recommend using top or htop and maybe diskhogs and see what's up

  • Vanilla OS 2 (v1.4.0) is officially here!

    Jump

  • It's an immutable distro that leverages containers to allow you to install packages from different distros. Further, it provides friendly tools and guis to make this easier than it would otherwise be

  • Recommendation: you can get a decent used laptop from eBay or Craigslist and install mint on it. Cost would be under $200.
