Seeing mostly on Mastodon and Bluesky.

I’ve been using this for a long time. The firefox extension and relatively low resource usage is what differentiates it from similar options I’ve tried.

Can you provide a few more details about the hardware you’re on, the version of Ubuntu, the type of update performed, and anything else you think could be relevant?

I guess there are some examples of that happening with places like patreon, floatplane, twitch, kick, etc. It’s hard to fathom anything coming along that can even approach the reach of youtube without backing from another big tech company and eventually following the same enshittification pattern.

That used to be a fair deal. We know better now and even have a word for what will happen to us once we’re locked into the system, enshittification. Just about every subscription model eventually leads to squeezing as much as they can out of us without a corresponding increase in value.

That’s the guide I followed on my desktop and laptop.

Anything that runs windows can probably run Linux and work well enough for self-hosting. But you’re getting ahead of yourself with worrying about hardware.

Easiest way to start is to find something that you want to try selfhosting that is relatively simple and use WSL within windows to familiarize yourself with Linux/networking/docker.

Once you’re far enough along to know what your needs are, then you can start thinking about the hardware to meet those needs.

Well said.

I’m sure this stunt is his attempt to distract us from something. This guy has to be the best at being the “racist senile old man” I’ve ever seen. I don’t think he plans anything but he plays the media like a fiddle to get attention any time he wants while avoiding all accountability.

I’ve never understood why anyone ever took him seriously and I’ve known people who thought he was intelligent which immediately made me question their judgement on everything.

For a mediacenter that isn’t on bleeding edge hardware, fedora or Debian would be my choice for stability. Performance will be similar regardless of distro.

I use arch on my desktop and laptop and Debian/Ubuntu on servers.

Sounds like the custom format isn’t working. A screenshot might help.

From the article: “people with bricked devices will need to contact the company’s customer support for recourse”

It’s still early but I’m going to keep on eye on how they treat the people that call them for support.

I haven’t read the entire XDA thread but there are a few posts saying it’s limited to ColorOS (Chinese version of android that everyone else gets as OxygenOS). Unable to verify.

If they don’t reverse course, I’m sure it’ll roll out globally eventually. This has to run afoul of EU’s strong warranty laws right?

T480s fingerprint reader has been inconsistent trying to log in when waking from sleep. It was working for months after I followed the instructions in the archwiki. I’ll eventually have to dig into the logs to see why it only works sometimes.

Also I wish KDE night light integrated monitor brightness.

I have no doubts about your experience. I can only rely on personal experience, which has been the exact opposite, and that of expert reviewers.

Unfortunately cockroaches don’t die.

I own a sony TV. The hdtvtest guy is my goto for staying updated on TV tech and sony regularly comes out as his best of the year. Yes, they’re pricey but you’re getting something for that premium.

This is a sad day in my books now that TCL will be able to enshittify the Sony brand.

I hate everything Musk is associated with and I have never and will never spend a dime in the epic game store. That said, I’m willing to stretch pretty far to say this quote might be more about his favoured type of reprehensible speech than csam:

All major AIs have documented instances of going off the rails; all major AI companies make their best efforts to combat this; none are perfect. Politicians demanding gatekeepers selectively crush the one that’s their political opponent’s company is basic crony capitalism.

He wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if Musk ignored/laughed off the whole thing instead of stupidly threatening the users posting the images but I guess that’s the least we can expect these days instead of actual accountability.

Next time it’ll only be 8hrs, just gotta stick with it.

It’s like people who drink. Your body develops a tolerance to spice and the capsaicin response gradually eases over time. Most people who enjoy spicy food are selective about the types of food they prefer to be spicy. It’s still about the flavour in the end and the heat just enhances that.
