Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.


Usually because they include by default some proprietary software. Usually that is firmware for processors or graphics. Or they by default include repositories with non-free software. Also media codecs are a common one too.
The FSF takes a pretty extremist approach to FOSS. Which isn’t necessarily bad.


Fuck em. “Oh but it’s a free Internet people can participate wherever they want”
Yeah you have a right to be a total dickwad and scream in people’s faces at the grocery store, don’t be surprised when everyone thinks you’re an ass though. They don’t want your input. That. Simple.


A segregated internet would be more like if they had a whole version of Lemmy for all topics but only for women, and then didn’t also participate in the other one.
This is just one community calm the hell down they can have their space.


Lmao a huge number of people use it for work still


It is - that’s just how URLs in non-latin fonts look unfortunately. URLs, (and a ton of tech infrastructure) is hugely English/latin script biased.
The URL is Japanese.


I have a Roborock that supposedly has Matter support (over WiFi not Thread, but still) and integrates into my Home assistant fairly well.
I wonder if it would break without Internet.


Yes, but I think inflation quickly makes that a pretty low number.


I think the line to never have to work again is pretty far under $100mil


Pony up for something expensive like a Bambu or embrace the tinker
'tis the way of things


For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.
I don’t think I’ve ever followed that workflow to be honest. Except for when doing something niche and way above and beyond something a casual user would do.
Open the software center, search what you want. Click install. Done. I use the terminal to the same effect but that’s by preference. Installing packages as you described is not at all recommended… They won’t update with the system.
The “add to desktop” thing really depends on your Desktop Environment too. GNOME not really, KDE and most others yeah.


I don’t think the learning curve is any harder than someone who’s learning Windows for the first time.
It’s just different. Honestly in some ways simpler IMO. But if you were a life long Mac user and touched Windows for the first time today you’d probably have a rougher time I think.


Bypassing the battery?


Installing anything. Updating. Formatting drives.
They should but they wouldn’t be optimized for touch or small screens
Maybe? I don’t think that was my issue. I think I was overthinking it and using the second “choice” as an event with separate odds.
Man there’s something about the monty hall problem that just messes with human reasoning. I get it now and it’s really not even complicated at all but when you first learn about it you tend to overthink it. Now I don’t even understand how I was ever confused.


Check your disk access usage maybe? Like if you store things on an external drive with USB2 or something you’re gonna have a bad time with multiple videos/high bitrate stuff because you’re saturating the bandwidth of the connection


Buddy I don’t think you’ll have users to moderate. It’s a personal instance, that’s fine.


Spanish speakers can read Portuguese very well. Spoken… less so.
