Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.

If I have to check a list of sources to make sure what ChatGPT spat out was accurate, why don't I just skip the middleman and make that determination with my own brain? That's what I don't get. Is that a skill that's being lost now or something?

I'm not the person you commented to but just this month I switched to KDE neon, because I believe I was having issues with some games and Mint's Cinammon WM with constant crashes and freezes. So far everything on Neon has been running great. I like having a bleeding edge GUI on a rock solid, widely compatible base. Neon is basically Ubuntu but tweaked and molded by the KDE people to run KDE to its fullest potential.

This would be funny to my redneck-ass boomer dad. I'm not sure you'll get many laughs out of this in here.

Has this place officially become a true Linux community? Did we just have the first X vs Wayland thread?!

Not until I see the GNU/Linux "interject" copypasta and someone calling MS "Micro$haft".

"Electronic music is too repetitive."

"Naww man, just listen to this!"

Chiptunes music plays as keygen opens with three more command prompt windows.

Give it time. The toxic trolls will soon realize they're all just talking to each other and come to the fediverse for fresh meat.

I gave up and started using Banana Pi stuff.

And with enough federated servers in the network they could never hope to have the reach of things like Lemmy and Mastodon. Server costs would be massively spread out instead of reliant on one corporation.

Calling people "lemmings" might seem a bit derogatory though. We left all the lemmings behind on Reddit, remember?

I got a family that likes to leave the damn light switches all on at night, I'm no longer going around and shutting them all off when everyone is in bed. Also, they are tied to my alarm, when I disarm the alarm or it goes off, they all come on.

But I'm doing all this through Home Assistant, a local open source automation server, not any of this cloud bullshit.

Makes me glad I found this federated social network thing. Shut it down and five more pop up to replace it. A government and corporation's worst nightmare.

I got Jerboa right where RIF used to be on my home screen, it's almost like nothing changed.

So...when can we start posting "resistance is futile"-type jokes?
