I think we’re starting to see people using their phone as their primary computing device and are asking more and more from it as they abandon laptops and desktops

There are options if you want something like Firefox without the AI nonsense like waterfox and librewolf.

Well you got me there

I will buy a fucking printed edition and flip through pages before I pay a subscription for the fucking dictionary

Okay even though it’s AI I love seeing what creative things people can do with minimal resources

hallucinates It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

I don’t think Vance has enough thoughts in his brain to go around sharing them

Yeah that’s not going to work for you. The tradeoff with flatpaks and snaps are increased disk usage and the mess of dependencies. If possible consider putting the flatpak folder on a bigger storage partition and mount it to your root btrfs.

Half of this shit hasn’t even really changed

Having something that will archive the website for you and also display a nicely formatted “reader” version is a kind of handy automation

That’s actually a good point, self hosting and home lab are similar things but don’t necessarily mean the same thing

Thanks for sharing! I never heard of that before

Windows S-mode only allows apps to be installed via the Windows store. You might be better off wiping it and installing an actual Windows version… Assuming the device has enough hardware oomph to run Windows smoothly.

No it works perfectly fine on a relatively small VPS. Ideally you’d want some redundancy for a form of communication but some people (like me) just wing it lol

“make it work”

It already does. I find enjoyment on this interconnected platform. Perhaps by “make it work” they mean make it work for massive monetization which is what we are trying to escape from in the first place. Not everything has to be about money!

I’m in complete agreement with this post. Debian is pretty meticulous with their releases and Ubuntu LTS has a predictable release cadence if that’s more important than “when it’s ready”

Sometimes blowing everything up is easier. And more fun!

My suggestion would be to use an Ubuntu installer ISO to get access to your broken system so you can backup anything important and then reinstall Ubuntu. It will just be faster than trying to salvage a broken upgrade

Doctor who?

I still think the fact it works as well as it does at all is incredible
