Well, in my defense I just wanted to initially try out Rust and on this particular computer, I don't have any IDE set up on it yet. However, definitely seems like an IDE is in order for me haha

Aussie chiming in: haven't heard hands up before, might be a US thing

It was WHAT? Time to dust off my HP Jornadas

I'm not 100% in the loop on things they've done, but I think the main thing is that there are better alternatives out there such as Signal for keeping in touch with friends and family, but oftentimes those friends/family just don't want to have yet another messaging app so it leaves you needing Discord to keep in touch.

No one's going to mention the pay bump approved 2 days ago? https://aussie.zone/post/4774393

Yeah, my iPhone 4s still has the last version it supported and with a tweak it still works fine. It still even has the random quotes submitted by users, which have been long gone now.

For me, I was a curious and inquisitive 15 year old that wanted to try out something different to Windows. I didn't really have any gripes with Windows at the time, so I tried Ubuntu and it went from there. I mostly remember after that installing Xubuntu on everything because it was just so lightweight and to this day I still love Xfce.

I've got one of those cheap Rockchip rk322x TV boxes and it took me fucking literal hours to get the Mali driver working and the performance, while noticeably better, was still way worse than if I ran it's stock Android image on it.

How hard is it to port LOS? I've been wanting to do it for a couple obscure devices I have but I've read the documentation and felt overwhelmed.

Ah, good old VGA brings the memories back

Basically that's how I use it, just a secure VPN tunnel to my home hosted stuff while I'm out. Painless to set up.

For me it's gotta be Portainer, Vaultwarden, and Tailscale. Everything else (FreshRSS, Heimdall, Paperless) is just cream.

I'd imagine it's a more generic term for a small PC (or maybe an Android TV box) running something like Kodi (home media centre program), and Kodi would have access to a drive (usually a network drive) full of pirated MP4s or whatever. I'm sure there's even more elegant solutions out there, but you get the gist.

THANK YOU. I'm someone who loves Linux and daily drives it, but it feels like Lemmy's userbase is just those who moved from r/linuxmasterrace who don't understand that just because Linux doesn't cost you any dollars, doesn't mean it doesn't cost time, time which people just may not have.

Good grief, I had a lady behind the counter try to berate me onto the store's rewards card and she wasn't as pushy as this comment.

The thing with Firefox is that while you're absolutely right on all your points, it's the only mainstream browser that at least tries to care for your privacy, much more so than the current big players, and something that has the best chance of having computer "normies" switch to. You won't get them onto LibreWolf, Ungoogled Chromium, IceCat, Mullvad Browser, not in mass. If you push everyone to one of those super privacy browsers where pages may not load correctly and they're generally more clunky, then that's just turning them further to stick with what they know, Chrome/Edge.

I don't like touting companies, but at least for the current time I still recommend Firefox for those wanting to switch, and later on if they really care about privacy then a switch to LibreWolf isn't as jarring.

Just from my observations from owning a 2015 MBP with 8GB of memory, it is easy to be fooled into thinking memory management is much better on macOS because you can effectively have more open than you would on an equivalent Windows laptop with 8GB memory.

From what I understand though, the SSD is used to compensate as swap a lot more than Windows, and I believe this is causing a lot of ewaste with the M1 Macs in particular being effectively binned because the SSDs are worn out on them from swapping and they're soldered.

But my 1998 Windows CE device that's made obsolete by those meddling modern security practices!

Hey I respect it man.

Far out, how much you putting on? As far as I’m aware, doing a cross over the processor is all that’s needed
