At the end of the day... Cloud storage is just using someone else's computer.

fxt_ryknow ,

Agreed. Although I will say.... While people not reading the articles was extremely common on reddit... Sadly, I feel like Lemmy is even worse about it.

My neighbors dog is Wayland. He's a good boy!

Can you live without YouTube ?

Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

With AI absolutely exploding... It's very easy to ask for step by step directions to accomplish things. AI clearly still needs to mature... But... The times I've asked it for some basic, step by step directions, it's been effective.

While I don't disagree videos make a lot of things easier (I for sure am a visual learning, no question), the step by step instructions for things I've gotten have been good, and very easy to follow.

Damn... 8 years? I made it almost two years with tumbleweed on my work laptop.

I like mixing it up, trying different diatros and various programs. After awhile, a fresh install just feels nice...

fxt_ryknow ,

Man... That's fucked.... But I sure as hell did just share this with some of my buddies. Haha

I picked up an Epson eco tank printer for my wife a couple years ago, and it's been fantastic! My wife, being a kindergarten teacher has a knack for absolutely killing printers... And this little Epson has been a work horse!!! I have nothing but good things to say about it!

Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so...

Maybe they all do this...? Admittedly I've not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose... So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.

fxt_ryknow ,

I got the email, also... And like you, I've not used reddit since the api BS. I've not logged in, commented or anything since just before sync stopped working.

fxt_ryknow ,

See... I'm the opposite... I change and hip around and reinstall across various machine so often, changing the setting has just become second nature... I don't even think about it anymore! Hahahaha

A Colorado town's newspapers were stolen after a story about rape charges at the police chief's house ( apnews.com )

Nearly all the copies of a small-town Colorado newspaper were stolen from newspaper racks on the same day the Ouray County Plaindealer published a story about charges being filed over rapes alleged to have occurred at an underage drinking party at the police chief’s house while the chief was asleep, the owner and publisher...

fxt_ryknow ,

Shout out to Plaindealer. The move to remove the pay wall so EVERYONE can read this story online. That's a nice "Fuck you" to the thieves. Haha.

fxt_ryknow ,

I feel like we've seen this show before...

fxt_ryknow ,

Wait... Mine is 9.9.9.9, too!

fxt_ryknow ,

Just to add to this... I rarely print anything, but my wife (an elementary school teacher) prints all kinds of stuff! We picked up an eco tank printer from Epson. We've had it now for a coupe years and it's been fantastic! We would replace ink cartridges a few times a year previously.. Where as with the eco tank we do about once a year. The print quality has held up, and it's just been a good little work horse for her!

I'm forced to use windows in my career life.... But I moved to Linux entirely at home back in 05-06.

In unsurprising news, Reddit prepares IPO ( www.businessinsider.com )

Now the social media platform is aiming for an IPO in the first quarter of 2024 with a valuation of $15 billion, and has been in talks with potential investors like Goldman Sachs and and Morgan Stanley, per Bloomberg.

fxt_ryknow ,

Amen. 9 years on reddit. I spent countless hours per week browsing and posting. I don't have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or any of that shit... Literally was just reddit. And he destroyed it.

If I being honest... I know that all those hours I was wasting was literally just that... Wasted time. But... I enjoyed it, so I don't care. I miss the good ol reddit days.

Fuck Spez should be a t-shirt.

Edit: I should clarify that I DO appreciate what has gone into the fediverse and it provided me a place to go for a similar experience. To any of the devs and people growing it... Props to you all! The dev who made sync work for lemmy... My dude... Thumbs up! Sync was hands down my all time favorite reddit app, and now I have it here!

fxt_ryknow ,

Just my two cents... But my x1 carbon, running tumbleweed has been my single greatest Linux on laptop experience, ever... And I've used many different laptops over the years. System76, framework, Lenovo, Dell, Asus, hp, apple... My x1 has been absolutely amazing!

fxt_ryknow , (edited )

Cpu is an i5, and I forget what specific model but I can check. My carbon is an older Gen 5. It also just uses the Cpu for graphics... No dedicated graphics card. Battery life is good concidering the age (the battery is still original, and I get probably 3 hrs with moderate use. My carbon also is the 8gb (ram) model. On this particular model the ram is soldered on, so upgrading isn't an option (without replacing the board, obviously).

Now, for me... I use the machine for work. I'm a systems administrator and spend most of my time remotong into servers and end user machines... So the work load on the laptop is on the lighter side. I do have various vm's that I spin up form time to time, but never more than one at a time.

Anyway, as I said before, it has been the single greatest Linux experience on a laptop I've ever had. Everything just works, and it's been rock solid. I've been running this machine as a daily driver for work now for about three years.

Edit: Love the down vote, also. Makes me feel like this is reddit all over again. Lmao. Down vote for sharing an opinion of what's been the best Linux on laptop experience I've ever had. Whoever down voted me.. Can you correct me and tell me the correct answer for what has been the best Linux experience on a laptop? I'm obviously mistaken.

fxt_ryknow ,

I would agree, as I don’t know this dude at all… But it was a pretty savage take. On pont, 100%…but savage nonetheless.

fxt_ryknow ,

Agreed. I was really bummed when he was moved. He was a ton of fun to watch when he was healthy… But he’s spent more time hurt than healthy. Makes me sad… But it was the right move for the C’s.

Hope he can recover and put together some quality time on the court… But it just doesn’t seem likely.
