Firefox: “But I’m nothing without Google money”

FOSS community: “If you’re nothing without Google money, then you don’t deserve it.”

Obligatory https://lemmy.world/c/fuckcars

tl;dr for others

A: “I have an Pink Unicorn inside the trunk of my car. It vanishes the moment you try to open the trunk or look at it.”

B: “What? That’s absurd”

A: “I know it exists. It’s up to you to disprove it”

B: “But there is no way one can capture/observe/understand it with any sort of scientific instrument”

A: “Don’t care. Skill issue”

I see you have read Dr. Toshio Bukkake’s paper. Didn’t expect to find a fellow man of culture over here.

“Cum Soup For My Valentine”

Something which is entirely cloud means the application is accessible from the browser. Cloud based could mean portion of the application is on the cloud. This is the technical answer.

But if an application requires cloud to function properly, it’s practically a cloud app.

If you use chatgpt el al. I’ll look down on you from a technical competence level

If someone asks “But using google is the same”, no they are not the same. Chatgtp is a toddler which has been force-fed information and is rewarded if the generated answer statistically makes sense. Google, or any search engine, points to a page where actual humans have discussed about the problem. They can also be wrong, but you can see the thought process of the individuals, and sometimes you can even ask the experts directly. It’s a very different experience.

Wayland: Can I come out now?

It’s also fine to have a change in hobbies as well. They liked collecting games, and now they don’t. It was not a waste of time.

I would guess a “serious gamer” is one who wants to play all the latest AAA multiplayer games. Just not possible for Linux to work for 100% on Day 1 with the ridiculous kernel-level anti-cheats.

For me, even though I play mainly on Linux, the issue is with random niche mods or hardware; Tobi eye-tracking, headtracking, VR.

i understand, and as a Linux fanatic of 8 years now, let’s not be too judgemental of the ex-Linux crowd 😄

The only reason I had to replace my OP3 was because the buttons and screen broke down after 6 years. Battery was max 1 day but it worked for me.

True true, I remember my first Soros cheque. From next month we’ll get a bonus if we keep using Lemmy. But at least 500 comments per month. That’s hard :(

The first one is available in the latest update AFAIK

It’s not much, but it’s honest work

Ofcourse it’s a over-simplification since it’s actually an “append-only geo-distributed database with non-centralized control” but the former works quite well when talking with people who want to sell me blockchain.

I always ask them what is the problem that a standard DB can’t solve that a blockchain can and they stumble a few steps.

Depends on who you are trying to hide from and what exactly you are trying to hide

• your crazy ex
• your crazy ex who is good with computers
• your employer
• your ISP
• the state police
• federal police
• nation states

For each scenario, there are different minimum security levels you need to maintain.

If you don’t want to let your ISP know you are visiting Lemmy and if you don’t want the lemmy admin know where you are from, a VPN is great.

However, if you are participating in an anarchist instance planning to 💣a place, a VPN is not enough since the feds can force a VPN company to let them know who exactly is using a certain IP at a certain time.

Rule of thumb; don’t do shit on public forums.

Simple rule of thumb; any time someone says blockchain in a sentence, replace it with “big slow database”. Now you can think about it clearly.

Is this only for lemm.ee users or also for people in other instances as well?
