What is Pangolin? I tried my search, but it returned the animal.

Hey, but put it differently, 3% is every 30th person, so technically, they can brag about how cool and easy Linux is to their friends, who’d install it too. So while 3% sounds like a rounding error, they may shift the pretty quickly, and su

With PhotoGIMP, Gimp is pretty usable, and I’d dare to say it can handle like 90% tasks (if not 100%) an average Joe has. If not for this beer weird interface, that would be a pretty usable piece of software. There are aspects that are much

What do you mean? My Intel MacBook Pro works better on Linux than it works on the latest supported macOS (Big Sur in my case). It works longer, and fans almost always stay silent. I have a fairly minimal sway setup, however.

Hey, I don’t have this trauma! Last time I used Windows it was a bit different. Two decades passed, however. Perhaps I just forgot, haha!

Hey, but Linux is just ideal for grandma! Its only competitor is Chrome OS. Well, and iPad OS for obvious reasons.

As a relatively long-time desktop Linux user, now I approach all hardware makers as ‘oh, loser I’d never buy from’ including NVidia (which support is better on Linux, last time I’ve heard of them). I understand that’s a bit of a bubble, as

As someone who also was a bit of a modder during my young years (exactly that 98/2K/XP and even 7 era), I gave up circa time the 7 was released, and moved to Linux, then macOS, and now (last few years, up to 6, depends on what’s t

On the other hand, I did this, cut my cables, and after I needed to reorganise things slightly, it was very difficult, even a centimetre was at luxury. Also, when I need to move a computer for some reason, there’s no room, at all. These day

Serious question: why would you need one for a home usage? I mean, you can easily reboot it nightly, and nobody will ever notice. Unless your personal server is used by people across the continents, of course. But even then, my SBC reboots

Yeah, I started with an obsolete PC a decade ago, and now I’m on a Raspberry Pi 2 and a couple of Orange Pis (zero, 1st gen). Weirdly, it’s enough for me now. I self-host not too many things as of now. So I guess I’d grow at least a couple

I tried it like a decade ago, when I was a macOS fan. It was such a cheap rip-off with not even visual (not to say functional) things being consistent and very much off. However, these days I have no idea. I forgot they even existed. Would

Even I often tell I chatgeepeeteed the result, in the same fashion when I continue saying I googled the result, while actually I used Duck Duck Go. I could ask another LLM provider, but I have no idea how to communicate that properly to a n

‘Why’ was apparently a too long of a word to include into the censored title.

Sometimes my iPhone changes words in a way I don’t see it before I press the reply button, it feels. The word domination had to be motivation.

From watching the video I have an impression that these guys just want to appear cool, and the product looks like that too. To appear to be very cool, for people who won’t ever use it, apparently. Same impression I’ve got from watching that

This constant difference between the original title and its censored version contributes into the whole impression (this, plus the lack of any moderation log) into the whole community to be very much censored and demotivates me to be here.

If you have trouble spilling uninvited diagnosis for Internet strangers, start with yourself, yeah. I have no issues with the author mentioning the film, not the book. I was rather curious why not the book, but the film, solely because of t

Why haven’t you just transferred your config? I’ve got a new laptop, rsynced my entire system, updated some things here and there, and that was it.

I pirate all the books, I treat that as a public library. I don’t read most of them. The ones I have read and found good, I talk about them, write about them, and I can buy them. For myself, plus as gifts to others. I just dislike buying hi

Why did you mention the film, not the book? Considering the closing scene is the same, iirc.

Yeah, I lost so many Warcraft III games on Battle.net, when I accidentally pressed that pesky button, while having a pretty decent computer with 256 MB RAM. I ended up facing a separate keyboard without the key (and some others too). Thankf

My home server mostly not used. It triggers some simple bash scripts each hour, or each night. It serves some simple personal web pages. I access them a couple of times a day, each time randomly. I have a Raspberry Pi 1B, and it looks like

by wltr 1y ago
Well I have a Pi as a home server, and it’s very energy efficient, while doing what I want. Since I don’t need latest and greatest (I don’t see any difference with a modern PC for my use case), it’s very competitive for me. No need for any

Hey, thanks for reaching out and truly appreciate the feedback from the team, not someone random on the internet. When I say ‘red flag’ in this context I never mean comparing Zulip to Slack. For me personally (but I believe for most others
