You can’t prevent it without regulations. Companies won’t care while gaining money from it unless they’re obligated to, and even then, some won’t comply either.

BTW, that mentality of “other countries vs mine” is absurd. War crimes shouldn’t be committed by a country just because the other commits them; others bad ≠ I good.

LLMs can’t and should NOT replace a human, at least not yet (they’re not even that good either). If we can’t have guaranteed basic needs such as housing, food and healthcare or a BUI, then they should not keep leaving people without jobs because no one will be able to afford anything.

I used to “virtual distro hop” because I tried a lot of distros in VMs before dualbooting. I installed Tumbleweed and haven’t changed ever since.

I don’t regret keeping my distro, I’ve been curious, of course, but I think i already have it all:

• Stability
• The newest updates
• I know my system very well
• By knowing my system, I can fix most problems and I know where to go if I can’t.

I sometimes try distros in VMs, but with that and Distrobox I think I already have everything I could need to learn and try them in case I need to work with them in the future :)

That’s what they do for the metro system in Monterrey and some public lights (couldn’t find an English version of this info.): :

Ironically, Monterrey still has a lot of metallurgy, cement industry and car-dependency that doesn’t help this kind of projects.

I don’t like to have to press a button, then search for an emoji. Emoticons are faster to write, I mostly use the :), :/, etc.

I changed that in Mastodon, for example. Someone told me that screen readers have trouble reading emoticons, so I mostly use stickers or emojis there.

I don’t think they try to be a social media platform, but it is definitely a bad substitute for forums and I dislike anyone who tries to use Discord as a forum alternative.

My only issue is software availability and management. I use the Packman repository to manage codecs and I avoid using the change vendor option; i used to change the vendor every time and ended up with a broken system, so I reinstalled and also resized my partition because I dual boot. I haven’t had problems at all.

You only need to pay attention for your needs, I recently installed systemd networking packages because they don’t come preinstalled, and YaST is very helpful in some situations like installing patterns (multiple related packages at once), mostly desktop environments. I gotta say that the openSUSE Wiki may not be enough to understand, but there is an official forum and you can also look at the Arch wiki.

Btw, GNOME is the official DE used by the developers, but KDE Plasma works very well, and all of them update constantly, you’ll have available updates every week.

I was going to ask the same. It’s beautiful!

You’re right, I should specify that it’s mostly for niche hardware. But even though there are developers trying, sometimes those devices are barely usable or have bugs and/or vulnerabilities.

Since most people don’t use Linux, drivers and software aren’t usually developed for it. Although, a reasonable company would develop just in case or help you get a solution, it’s unusual. Most computers are supported, but there is very specific hardware that may not have support or you’ll find bugs.

I’d recommend you to search (and test with an USB in Live mode) about your hardware and ask in communities about this specific topics. There are music communities, movies, math, streaming, etc.

And no, I don’t think you’ll find anticheat support because most Linux users don’t want closed shady software modifying their kernel (but there are solutions being worked on).

It’s to avoid trackers and/or paywalls, and also to preserve it just in case. But yes, to each their own.

This looks great! I mean, I like Ghostwriter, but it isn’t exactly a note-taking app, less so KWrite and Kate, This will be a great complement and help to complete the basic needs of users I hope :)

When creating a task, you can choose a Start, End Date and a Timer.

You also have to select the Calendar where you want Tasks.org to save your task.

In Nextcloud is the same while creating tasks, but it’ll create a Calendar for every list of tasks (e.g Personal tasks, College tasks, etc)

I’m using Tasks.org with DAVx5 (android) and an external Nextcloud hosting.

You can set blocks of time, nested tasks and it adds them to the Nextcloud calendar. I think Tasks.org can sync with Google Tasks, but it has limitations.

My only step left is self-hosting Nextcloud.

Doesn’t Ctrl+Z undo the extraction? I may be dreaming, but I remember there was a fast option to delete all the files extracted. Anyway, we already know about autodetection B)

So all the effort and money they spent in developing their games, before knowing about this movement from Unity, should be punished?

I understand your intentions, but indie devs don’t have the capacity to switch engines, let alone redevelop everything when it’s already or almost finished. I’d understand if you do it at the start of 2024.

Also, this is speculation, but I’ve seen devs provide alternatives to get their games. A lot of developers have already declared their intentions to switch engines from now on and they can’t do that if they don’t have a budget.

I think that the main problem is that companies keep getting revenue even if actors don’t. Book writers don’t stop earning money just because they wrote their book 5 years ago, and yes, they don’t win money for reselling, but companies like Amazon and their editorials will keep earning money because of their work, so why shouldn’t the writers earn money?

If your work isnt being streamed or sold, well, you won’t see much. But still, you signed a contract, like the old perpetual pensions.

Personally, I try to keep some rules for myself while using a system. I used to use spaces for readability, but then it was kind of hard to remember all the names of my files, so i just went with a conceptual naming. I now use keywords and some classification like numbers or date before the keywords, it has helped me to find files quicker and with less words than before.

Are you… a ghost? D:

In México it’s kind of weird. We certainly have competition, but there are major leaders like: Telmex, izzi, Megacable and Totalplay. They are mostly mediocre, but they’ll try to outpace their competition every time they can. There are jobs just for advertisement where people move from sector to sector leaving pamphlets and trying to convince you to change your service. The problem is that they usually buy competitors to improve their infrastructure. For example, izzi bought part of Axtel, which to me was the best service provider in Nuevo León, so we moved to Totalplay the next month after the acquisition.

They always have offers and will offer you ‘better’ packages to convince you, sometimes matching the same price just so they gain a new customer (commissions are also an incentive for workers). Recently the government announced a new service provided by our federal energy commission (CFE) which aims to provide free internet in rural and public places and paid mobile data plans. More competition is always welcomed.

Gotta say that our Federal Telecommunications Office sometimes does its job and protects you against bad-faith movements like ISPs blocking you from moving and/or using other methods that are not approved, but no public services have a clean record. Still, at least here I’m seeing some progress.

Yeah, I use it for course notes and so, but it’s kind of expensive for where I live, so I use it in pair with pCloud and a backup in other cloud.

Btw, if you say it for the to do apps, I’ve tried, but it just doesn’t work for me as a to do hehe
