  • Can you explain more? What are ublue scripts and what makes them so handy? I'm still new to this space.

  • Reddit’s CEO says r/popular sucks, and it’s going away, also Reddit is limiting the amount of popular subreddits a person can moderate

  • Rare W for Spez, he's absolutely right and this is a very smart move for the platform as it exists as an ecosystem.

    I still strongly believe the federated/nonprofit model (Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin) is superior and have no plans on going back to Reddit, but presenting Reddit the platform as a collection of communities and not one homogeneous content feed is a genuinely positive move and sets them apart from other platforms.

  • To my knowledge Bazzite is basically SteamOS with more flexibility under the hood if you're looking for it. By default it boots right into big picture mode. I imagine if you get an HDMI-CEC dongle it would work great as an HTPC once you get Big Picture set up with the streaming apps.

  • The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users

    Jump

  • I'm a Jellyfin guy, but charging money for a product or service isn't what "enshittification" means. As the article says this is just removing a loophole for legacy apps on older devices. The pricing model hasn't changed.

  • Kinoite is also great and usually what I recommend someone coming from Windows who wants a distro that "Just works".

  • Bazzite is great. I wish I'd tried it sooner. It is great for a "steam machine" or just as a very stable regular desktop.

  • Wow he actually went with Mint and not some niche distro!

  • OpenAI plans to enshitify ChatGPT with adverts

    Jump

  • My first thought when GPT first released was "oh this is how search engines will be able to serve ads without disclosing that they are serving ads"

  • Science-centric streaming service Curiosity Stream is an AI-licensing firm now

  • Is there a radarr/sonarr that could work for this?

  • I wonder if the creators are aware of this. I have been considering replacing youtube with something healthier like this or Nebula. I suppose Nebula it is.

  • Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil?

  • The remasters of 2, 3 and 4 are phenomenal.

  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • It's theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it's commonplace.

  • Not saying you're wrong (pretty sure you're not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

  • Self-Hosters Confirm It Again: Linux Dominates the Homelab OS Space

    Jump

  • Linux holds a 63% share of global server infrastructure.

    How is that not 95%?

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

    Jump

  • As others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.

    Also you didn't ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it's a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.
