  • This $450 Semi-Dumb Phone Is Barely Even a Phone

    Jump

  • I love these semi-smart phones coming out but none of them check all the boxes for me. The Light Phone has maps on it now which makes it the best, IMO.

  • Do these have actual human djs? Not a criticism, just wondering

  • So uh... what does it do? Summarize short articles?

  • This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?

  • Welcome to America! Trump names ‘manosphere’ troll as tourism envoy

  • Oh wow, I genuinely didn't know this guy was for real. I've always assumed Nick Adams was a satire account. His whole schtick is that he says something ostensibly conservative, but presented in a way that makes him look like a complete weenie. Example:

  • Great to meet you, ya piece of scum!

    Jump

  • Lol yes based on the meme!

  • Great to meet you, ya piece of scum!

  • I mean this with all kindness but the fact that nobody has banned you is probably the reason the fediverse won't catch on.

    What's the point of avoiding corporate social media if the human powered kind is adopting their same tolerance for toxicity.

  • Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website

    Jump

  • Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM "search" as the future. "Search" inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.

  • Already heared of Genshin but I didnt play it

  • This doesn't make any sense

  • Turris Omnia NG Wired Launches as a Linux-Powered 10Gb Router

    Jump

  • €420 isn't crazy for a 10gbps Wifi 7 router. A quick search tells me the Arris G54 is about that price and only 3.1gbps.

    EDIT: Just realized the G54 is a modem/router combo.

    EDIT 2: And the Turris €420 version doesn't have Wifi

  • what is this error?

    Jump

  • TIL! Thanks. I find whole concept of an immutable setup so fascinating.

  • the correct way of updating Bazzite?

    Jump

  • FYI if OP is running Emudeck, a handful of the emulators are frustratingly installed as AppImages (not FlatPaks) and you will need to run Emudeck's updater too.

  • what is this error?

  • What's the difference between the first two? Ostree:0 and Ostree:1

  • Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right?

  • The phrase "E2E encryption" definitionally means it applies when you don't trust whole chain.

  • Continuously steering a conversation away from the big important facts and towards irrelevant details is called "flooding the zone with shit" which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.

    And it only works if regular people take the bait.

  • how do you see future of linux?

    Jump

  • Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn't eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don't. The question is how long will it take to get there.

    But as others have said, I think the overall decline of desktop PC use combined with the just pure overall quality of Linux compared to Mac and Windows PCs in 2026 implies that the x86 PC space will become majority Linux within the next 10 years if not less.

  • out of the loop, what's the problem with signal?

    Jump

  • Signal is what you're looking for

  • It's not a company it's a nonprofit foundation. And they've been audited many times by independent auditors.
