  • how has your strong sense of justice impacted your life?

    Jump

  • I'm a kinky furry with a habit of hyperfocusing on problems until they're solved, has difficulty challenging authority and whose sense of self worth depends on others.

    So yeah... The past few years have been rough with everything in the world. I'm still limping on though.

  • Looking for vibe coder with vibe management skills

  • Vibe management? Is that what they mean by "edge" computing?

    Distro hot take: There's only one suitable distro for linux newbies

    Jump

  • Ignoring the fact that nowadays ssds generally outlive their typical use times, how do immutable systems and Flatpak cause more wear compared to regular software updates from apt or whatever?

    Distro hot take: There's only one suitable distro for linux newbies

    Jump

  • Users are going to need to tweak and modify system files. You can say as much as you want that they "shouldn't", but at the end of the day they may have to tweak something because they have exotic hardware or want to run a specific app.

    And the benefit isn't really that great, imo. A random user isn't going to go poking around /etc and modify files randomly. And if they do, something like timeshift will save them.

    My go to recommendation is Mint. When things go wrong or the user needs to do something complex, there are a lot of guides out there for Ubuntu which also work for Mint.

  • Latest Steam Client Update Improves Support for Proton Games on Linux

    Jump

  • Seems like the only Linux stuff is fixing a bug which displayed "not supported" for "large" libraries.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • My main desktop is Mint - I feel like most of the random pieces of software I find myself wanting to run are built for Ubuntu or at the very least a lfh distro.

    My server and random devices run NixOS, and I'm acrually considering combining all the config into a monorepo...

    My Raspberry PI I think runs Raspbian though. I should see if I can nixify it.

  • Anyone notice how all (well intentioned) advice for autistic people is just "mask harder"?

    Jump

  • you see, NT avoid this topic at all costs

    I don't think this is a NT vs Autism thing. There are topics that, depending on the environment, are taboo and not to be discussed. Figuring out these rules is confusing (or at least, not automatic) for Autistic peeps, but actually following the rules is something both NT and autistic people must do. Whether or not you call it masking, it's still something that both groups are subjected to.

  • SelfHosting Guilty Pleasure(s)

    Jump

  • Tweaking my various Nix configs feels good and satisfying.

    ... When it works, that is.

  • Does anybody else's anti-depressants wear off after taking a nap or otherwise sleeping?

    Jump

  • I actually take my antidepressants right before I go to bed, and they seem to last the next day.

    I do get really upsetti if I stay up later than usual, and am generally lower in mood at night. But that could be a number of things.

  • Popular self-hosting services worth running

    Jump

  • For the lazy:

    • Nextcloud
    • Jellyfin
    • Immich
    • Vaultwarden / Bitwarden
    • Uptime Kuma
    • AdGuard Home
    • Homepage
    • Monica
    • changedetection.io

    Seems a decent selection.

  • Dad!

    Jump

  • The dad is making a big show of how much he supports his daughter... Yet still orders chicken?

    (I know not all vegans demand others share their diet, but it would be a nice gesture for him to do)

  • xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles

    Jump

  • I can kinda get the range anxiety comments though - it sucks having to keep daisy chaining extension leeds to go further.

  • Every Terminal program should have a black background by default

    Jump

  • Semitransparent backgrounds for terminals are the worst. I don't mean to kinkshame, but it, imo, should not be a default.

  • Will I survive the Linux CLI if I only switch because I'm a student and Arch distro speed?

    Jump

  • I think the whole "XYZ Distro is faster!" arguments are overblown. Most distros will be fast enough on reasonably modern hardware, and any performance gains will usually come with compromises and/or lots of tinkering. Generally speaking a standard arch install (that is, you've not manually configured anything) will be roughly the same speed as a more beginner friendly distros like Mint and Fedora (which is still more lightweight than Windows).

    To answer the question in the title: Yes you'll survive the CLI. Just give yourself time to learn the fundamentals and treat it as learning a programming language. More user friendly distros generally don't expect you to use the CLI, which is part of the reason they are recommended.

  • On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

    Jump

  • My condolences - I'm in the UK as well and wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    If I may offer an alternate perspective: Politicians don't actually care about any of this, they just want votes. California's system allows them to say "Look, we solved child safety!" without having to deal with people complaining about privacy. If there's an existing system in place, it's easier for politicians to say "we already solved this!" and ignore those voices.

    It also puts the guilt on parents. If this system in place, and you complain about your child seeing tiddy online, the question is going to be "why didn't you set the age correctly then?".

    ... Of course this might be me just being optimistic. I really hope we, as a species, grow out of this new age puritanism and government overreach.

  • On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

    Jump

  • It'd be stronger than that, since kids shouldn't have admin rights on their pcs and couldn't claim to be over 18.

  • On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

    Jump

  • Sure. But at that point distros can just say "no use in California lol" and enjoy the free market share from disgruntled totally-not-californian Windows users.

  • On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

    Jump

  • I can see the slippery slope argument, however it overlooks the fact that countries/states are already willing to implement the non-privacy systems.

    If these systems take off, it will give privacy advocates the ability to point at California's system and say "look, they have a system that is as effective as the strong assurance stuff but without the people sending you angry emails."

    I see it as almost a "reverse slippry slope". A way for people to push for less strict verification.
