Boy does that ever make my skin crawl.

I didn't like it when it was a Microsoft product, and even as an open-source one do I ever not want an app collating everything about me, where I go, what I look at, and who I talk to into a single database.

Especially since they don't talk about how they secure the local data; this is just making a one-stop shop for someone to steal and then learn absolutely everything there is to know about you.

I don't have the stylus, sorry. That got lost years ago on a trip and I never used it enough to justify replacing it (this was before I moved to Linux on it).

I mean, nice strawman but what was more happening was you were telling your friend you liked ladyboys, and then your friend ran outside and told anyone and everyone who would listen that you liked ladyboys.

The only real change here is the Lemmy UI would stop lying to you about votes being private, because they never were.

Seems fine? Voting was, at best, only slightly anonymous anyway because other platforms that get the AP action will happily tell you exactly who did what when even if the Lemmy UI doesn't.

And, honestly, if you don't want your fake and nearly anonymous internet name associated with doing something, eh, maybe that's a sign you shouldn't do it?

Define good?

I've got an older Surface Pro running Fedora and the install was a little annoying to get everything working, but like, it's perfectly fine for tablet-y things as long as you realize that there's really really not a good tablet UI or apps that have good tablet UIs on Linux.

I went with MAKE UI BIGGERERER as the tablet UI option and it's sufficient.

Yep, it's fully supported in HA/ESP32 and is suuuuuper easy to deploy and configure and the HA devs even documented how: https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/thirteen-usd-voice-remote/

Of all the things that happen in the movie, the thought that someone will have hooked a top-secret defense computer up to a modem is the one that is the absolute most believable.

Like, it's entirely going to have happened at some point.

Do they need to be the same mailbox?

Could you have a 'live' and 'archive' split?

If you could, then I'd use something like imapsync to make a complete mirror copy, and then delete all email older than whatever the age is that makes them outside of your usual working set, and bam, done.

The problem you're going to have is there's a LOT of tools that can sync imap->imap, but they're more migration or backup tools and won't let you delete the email from gmail afterwards while maintaining a usable archive, which I think is a requirement to solve your issue.

Because there's not enough PD content there to train AI on.

Copyright law is generally (yes I know this varies country by country but) gives the creator immediate ownership without any further requirements, which means every doodle, shitpost and hot take online is property of it's owner UNLESS they chose to license it in a way that would allow use.

Nobody does, and thus the data the AI needs simply doesn't exist as PD content and that makes the only choices for someone training a model is either to steal everything, or don't do it.

You can see what choice has been universally made.

The problem I ran into was the dictionary: T9 will let me text the BF and ask him to bring home milk no problem. It's noticeably less useful when I need to tell someone to use systemd to restart a service, and afaik there's no good way to expand the dictionary on at least that specific phone, so it was kind of a slog half the time vs being able to just... type out what you needed to send.

It'd do media playback, but not in any format I'd reasonably want to listen to (no flac? for shame!) and rockbox on an iPod did, so that's mostly the driver behind that choice.

You have to wonder, though, if that outcome was inevitable by the design of the Supreme Court.

How could you make an entity that's appointed solely by politicians, who are going to play party games, with any sort of expectation it won't end up being completely politicized?

I mean, it's perhaps more corrupt and perhaps more obnoxiously loud as a political entity, but if you look at its entire history, it's not like it suddenly became a political tool just now, and that it was previously a shining beacon of honesty and impartiality.

I did the same for about 6 months, but I went with an actual dumb phone, a Nokia 225.

It was interesting, and the things I missed the most from a smartphone were def. not what I expected:

• Visual voicemail: calling a phone number and having to do voicemail like it's 1993 was probably THE most obnoxious part of the whole experience
• SMS messaging: T9 wasn't great in 1996, and it's still not great in 2024.

Replaced all the media stuff with an iPod which worked shockingly well for podcasts, audiobooks, and music, though I did build a little bit of automation to download and convert youtube videos to a format the iPod would play.

Beyond that, it was just what you'd expect: no apps, and no distractions.

I like 18" naval artillery and I cannot lie.

I do, but it's also got it's own drawbacks. It'll do PIP but won't cast, for example.

There's really not one single Jellyfin app that has all the features, so I've got uh, four? depending on what exactly I need it to do heh.

But it's been a whole quarter and I've not been able to steal enough value to make myself richer!

Looks like someone at Microsoft saw someone's iPad and went "That's what we need! Icons in boxes that need an extra click to be used!" and their MBA boss figures they'll get a bonus for "increasing user engagement" by making everything take two actions instead of one now.

Sigh.

100%.

They absolutely can detect virtualization, and a LOT of games will ban your ass for it.

It depends: if you're talking rasterization performance, then yeah, they're pretty much on parity.

If you're talking about all the other things a video card does that's not strictly make-pixel-light-up, then it's very much a mixed bag.

Clearly Police Chief material, that guy.

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

Just took a bunch of digging to figure out certain pieces of functionality that weren't outlined in the documentation/examples (mouse capture on click, and the fact you can split the disk image into chunks and stream the needed data at runtime were not exactly covered anywhere, but figured out looking at the demo site code and watching what the browser was doing)
