Pop_OS! It's not without its bugs too, what isn't? But I've had far fewer major issues like the one noted in the link. System 76 and community, maintain it specifically as desktop Linux. Unlike Canonical which is much more fo

Most of the arguments against digital books, or files generally, seem to assume no one ever does the work to update the files. Bitrot, unsupported formats, etc. This seems to be quickly followed by some pretty clear survivorship bias argume

Totally this. Did decision fatigue stop you from using email? It didn't because they all talk. It doesn't really matter which you choose. This is especially true now that there is an official system to change/move servers.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet. Hardware wise the closest is probably the Pine Time from Pine64. Software and services wise this isn't on pebbles level though. https://www.pine64.org/pineti

That was v1. The latter versions solved most of those problems and rebble.io keeps a pebble 100% functional.

OSM and OsmAnd seem great except when you want to search for something. If I search for "mcdonalds" typed lazily I get 5 results hundreds of miles away. To find the local Mcdonalds restaurant I have to type "McDonald's&q

Jellyfin's login system is a hot mess and makes it a non-starter for family use. Instead of going with the time tested login (saved) and then profile chooser (pin locked) they've decided that they would treat it like a PC with not

My Dad has 2 old laptops. Both perfectly serviceable but dog slow due to Windows 10 BS. I've been called to help get them back in a usable performance state on several occasions. A combination of MSs own stuff and third party software

This absolutely cracks me up. Developers reacting like every user who has the perfectly functional UI/UX pulled out from under them. Shoe on the other foot as it were. Perhaps there's a lesson here for developers of software, thei

Hole up...so the premise of this article is if we don't burn the top 70% then we can't use the other 30% for other things? Like you couldn't pump off the 70% to a different container to get at the stuff in the bottom? Using t

Looks to me like you have it backwards. Many (most?) of those games predate Stadia. Seems Stadia/Google selected Vulkan for best compatibility with pre-existing games.

So most of them. This sort of thing happens all the time everywhere. Unfortunately.

Wow, eSIMs hit first in this discussion? Not the glaring nightmare of security QR codes are. I thought about providing links but there's such a vast host of writeups about it I'll leave it for the reader to search and discover. Yi

Perhaps I'm naive but if I'm reading this right the market for their products went up 46% and has now fallen 0.9% and this predicts the failure of plant based faux meat market? "In the US, meanwhile, the tougher economic back

Last I knew standard notes hid 2FA behind the paywall. Basic security should not be a pay feature. If they're willing to hang non-paying potential customers out to dry what other questionable security choices are they making? I tried t

I've contributed a few dealerships around Illinois. Wife is looking for a Chevy Bolt after her car was scraped in an accident (the other person's fault). Every dealership other than a single local one is charging between $5K and $

So somehow false positives negate all the actual positives caught and corrected? The only true solution is what? Manual audit of everything by some perfect human security practitioner? I suppose the same applies to automated development too

I actually had the idea to help prevent this quite some time ago but unfortunately lack the skills to bring it to fruition. Maybe someone else can if I put it out there. Likely not, but here goes. It's rare to impossible for a single i

I envision an infinite game. Procedural, but only to an extent. I want it based on the internet and how it changes. Sure, you could just use the entropy of change on the internet, but it would be neat/interesting if names were also to

I've always maintained separate desktop and laptop. No laptop has ever run as well as a properly built desktop. The bottom line is physics. Never will hardware crammed into a tiny case, a laptop sized case, perform as well as desktop c

Mycroft got a recent update (maybe 3 months ago) and seems to work much better than before. I've got a Google AIY Voice Kit v1 running on a Pi 3 B+ and it works quite well to about 6ft away. False wake's prior to this latest updat

I asked this on the Twitter thread and got no response. Is this even useful on its own? Or at all? It requires a redirect to some other domain where the VNC is hosted. Would modern up-to-date browsers just see it as cross site and block it?

Didn't see a mention of self hosted Searx/Searxng They all have their positives and negatives so why not search them all? Image search is pretty bad though. Still go to Google image search for that.
