Gimpydude,

ClamAV is alive and well. Immunet != ClamAV even if that was the engine Immunet used.

South Dakota governor, a potential Trump running mate, writes in new book about killing her dog (apnews.com)

The Guardian obtained a copy of Noem’s soon-to-be released book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she tells the story of the ill-fated Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she was training for pheasant hunting....

Gimpydude,

In my mid 50’s. I use a steam deck and my PC running Linux.

Gimpydude,

Similar for me. I went with PopOS this time, and it all just works. I’m thinking of switching to KDE Neon, just because I’m a KDE fan. One piece of advice I have is to have your home directory on it’s own so that if you do switch distros, you just install to the system drive and you don’t affect your data.

Gimpydude,

Regarding party selection, yes that’s exactly right. It’s for the primaries, which selects the candidates for that party, and people do tend to vote along party lines.

Bringing the cancer of the MODERN WEB (TM) to one of the last bastions of the old web (aka the real web!). How Kafkaesque. (www.youtube.com)

This girl acts like Wikipedia owners don’t realize this shit. It’s about principles. Modern web is simply cancer that is eating out the planet from the inside, one TCP segment at a time (although with HTTP3 and QUIC we gotta call it a datagram!)....

Gimpydude,

I’ve dabbled a little with it, but I really want something that’s as easy to use & set up as the commercial offerings like Google Home and Amazon Echo. I want to have an interface where I can connect my light bulbs, and have little hockey pucks that will listen for a wake word and do what I ask of it, and play my music. I also want to be able to get under the covers and do something that solves an odd problem that might come up.

I’m very hopeful for the project and I do think it will get there eventually.

Gimpydude,

Sure, but if I had a Pi (or similar board) with a speaker and a mic, I’d hope to be able to do the same thing. A Pi Zero would definitely be able to do the job.

Gimpydude,

Yeah, that’s why I said I’m very hopeful. It says so in my comment.

Gimpydude,

Privacy issues aside, for wider adoption the user experience needs to be better. Most people don’t want to be a sysadmin for their house, they just want to live in it.

Gimpydude,

I’ll take a look at that, thanks. It’s been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn’t get it going.

Gimpydude,

Thanks, I will definitely check out both of those

Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) (lemmy.world)

I’m looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner’s children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman’s perspective as though men don’t want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!...

Gimpydude,

As a stepfather to 3 over 2 marriages, just treat them like people with respect and support them as much as possible. It can be hard, but try to give guidance without trying to impose authority. Love them.

Gimpydude,

Star Trek first came out in September '66. Dune was first published in August '65.

Gimpydude,

Totally. Doesn’t make it less fun though!

Gimpydude,

You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.

Gimpydude,

That makes sense. I’m a lazy guy and I didn’t want to try testing so I went with a known quantity.

Gimpydude,

While I agree about the missing key scenes, I think it could have had a 3rd movie. I do agree with OP that it was rushed.

I don’t know how to add spoilers, so I’ll just say that there were key points that diverge from the book, and with more time, they could have been fleshed out and made a more faithful movie.

Gimpydude,

Too many articles & videos use shitty AI to not say anything just to get the clicks.

Gimpydude,

Really appreciate that too.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Gimpydude,

I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.

It’s definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that’s not worth the effort.
