I found a thinkpad with a radeon GPU for only 200 which was nice.

It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”

Ones of the reasons I like Pop, they install a recovery partition with a copy of the install USB, finally they have a ‘factory reset’ that reinstalls the OS while keeping the users home folders.

I disagree, I think protesting during working hours is kind of the point, same as a union protest during working hours. It affects the corps bottom line, the only thing they care about.

We already have a social credit score, we started it in the 80s. Its called credit

Stop talking to the type of people that care about what phone you have.

Then the VPN has your data, and also your ISP depending on how secure your setup is

Were you running Wayland by any chance?

This person made a pretty good video essay on the topic. They theorize among other things that its a sort of way to mentally prepare themselves in case they’re in the same situation.

Do you think this is something the EU will say is anti-competitive or something? I don’t think current late-state capitalism America will do anything.

Which half am I in?

ChatGPT isn’t a search engine. Its just a more powerful version of the tool that you see suggesting the next word to use on your phones keyboard.

Its guessing how sentences should look based on ones it saw in the past. That means it makes stuff up

If you want to support Linux devs and continued development, I would buy from System76, Tuxedo Computers, or even Framework.

If you’re going to buy used then yeah the Thinkpad is fine.

The github page for websurfx says its a open source alternative to searx, and I never used searx before so I wasn’t aware of it being OSS but sorry for being your ocean of ignorance you can’t do anything about. Next time I won’t share anything to not offend.

There’s also an open source alternative called Websurfx

Yeah, how else can I shoot artillery strikes out of the air when the government comes for me? /s

I also liked Harvards course. I got to like chapter 8 then I switched to start learning Rust because I liked it more than Python.

I just installed TrueNAS on a desktop with a lot of SATA slots. https://www.truenas.com/

Right, there’s plenty of people also not getting paid anything for their work. This “You shouldn’t care about money” feels like a straw man argument to OP’s argument which I think could also be said as “OSS isn’t sustainable unless everyone is paid a sustainable amount”.

It’s just all around frustrating. It has that same energy as “You criticize the system yet you’re a part of it” example. For example, I wont be able to show this thread to my landlord when rent is due saying, “You shouldn’t care about money, I’m an OSS dev so I dont”

So in closing, I guess I wish everyone had a UBI to be sustainable and then yeah OSS itself could be sustainable as a hobby project.

This is my recommended gaming distro, its actually works from my experience unlike the 3 different arch based distros I tried.
