Been daily-driving Linux for several months now. There are literally zero critical workflows that I can’t do just because I’m not on Windows.

40% of things I use my PC for are browser-based. 40% have an equivalent FOSS app. 10% are Windows apps that run fine using Wine. The other 10% I can live without.

Yeah, let’s not do any of that shit either.

Here’s an idea. How about we abandon ragebait shortform slop/garbage aggregators entirely, and stop rewarding them with excessive device permissions and personal data.

Can confirm, I recently maxed out the RAM on my decade-old rig at 32GB. At least the used DDR3 RAM was cheap. With motherboards that old you are limited to processors like Intel Haswell with 4 cores, pretty anemic by today’s standards.

It works just fine for me running Linux and doing minimal gaming. 90% of my gaming these days is on the SteamDeck anyway.

I thought as I got older I would have more money to buy current gen PC parts and build basically whatever I wanted. Turns out priorities just shifted and things got even more expensive.

More importantly, do you like doing the work of a fullstack developer but getting paid and treated like a barely-tier 2 support desk person?

Yeah, OP, based on my experience with the Deck, for a vast majority of games you can just go to the ingame pause screen, press power button to “sleep” the Deck, and then resuming later has no impact.

There are a few games that maybe had audio issues or something after resume but nothing major if your main concern was simply avoiding losing progress.

GrapheneOS is a nice reprieve from the sea of endless enshittification news flowing forth from Big Tech these days.

What people don’t want is blackbox AI agents installed system-wide that use the carrot of “integration and efficiency” to justify bulk data collection, that the end user implicitly agrees to by logging into the OS.

God forbid people want the compute they are paying for to actually do what they want, and not work at cross purposes for the company and its various data sales clients.

Bring back the Zune, you fuckers. At least that had cool design language.

Still running PiHole on a 3B.

The Pi 4 is plenty robust for Docker and a few small things depending on how much RAM your model has etc. Mine runs Immich well, unless you give it huge videos to transcode, which crushes the CPU and takes forever.

Doubt it. This is not the type of treatment that is just over the counter. Tooth regrowth would have to be administered and monitored by somebody like an orthodontist. More likely some will just become specialized in it.

I recommend getting some indie and pixel art style titles instead of just going for AAA. Reason being many of these are cheaper ($5-10, sometimes even less) so you can try different genres, and these titles also tend to sip battery so you will get lots of gameplay time.

Examples I have enjoyed, in no particular order-

Animal Well

Celeste

Stardew Valley

Vampire Survivors

Caveblazers

Balatro

Slay the Spire

I would recommend going to their Official Announcement and asking the question there or on the linked social media.

They seem to be answering questions on the Nitter/Xcancel linked thread.

Instead of assessing compatibility I assume it would include ideological purity tests.

Yeah, what you described is how it should be.

Each person:

1. What I did yesterday.
2. What I’m working on today.
3. Briefly describe obstacles or assistance I need.

That could be as little as 45 seconds per person if done properly.

Someone tell remote managers that daily status meetings for teams of 5-10 people should never be more than an hour long.

In person, they are “stand up” meetings to encourage them to be as uncomfortable and short as possible. Over web meeting, that convention tends to fly out the window.

Cool, if GrayJay could integrate similar functionality that’d be great.

Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia, AMD, etc. all inking new partnerships to generate a headline and valuation increase. Meanwhile AI companies PE ratios creep upward.

The top few companies can only helicopter cash at eachother for so long before the bubble eventually busts. That’s not new income being generated, it’s more akin to check-kiting in a public trading context.

I have some aging hardware (approaching 10 year old desktop PC) and I switched to Linux. I have to still use Windows at work but none of my personal computers are Windows anymore.

Microsoft can go kick rocks.

I didn’t “have to” but, a few reasons…

1. Swapping the drive created a pretty easy rollback path that was just “put original drive back”

2. The drive was ~10 years old, and was in the range of recommended replacement for an SSD with the amount of TBW and age it had.

3. Original drive was kinda small and a new larger drive was available for not very much money.
