Time, use and practice are key to switching OSes, platforms and apps: you get comfortable with what you use. A good start to moving away from Microsoft Windows might be to install Libre Office on Windows, and start learning to use that for your daily word processing, presentations and spreadsheets. Take some steps with open source software before you even have to tackle a new operating system. #floss#foss#freesoftware#recall#quitwindows#quitmicrosoft
Starting to read a bit about snaps vs flatpak etc. The idea of at least somewhat containerised(?) software, some division between the operating system and the apps, seems like a good idea. I suspect that the ability to run proprietary software on linux will be a key consequence. A good thing? However a corner of my brain is going 'why' - like is it actually Microsoft driving this? - they've been chums with Canonical? How might it allow them to ultimately own and monetize linux?
#Foss folk and others, hit me up with some good Peertube or Youtube content. Linux user stuff, edtech, minimalism. Art and culture. Simple living minus the gardening. Philosophy, sociology.
The YouTube heuristics are just atrocious. Watch one cat video? Here's 50 more. Oh you follow a productivity bro and some tech topics? Here, have some hustle culture with a side of some deeply disturbing misogyny. You like the English countryside? How about some Britain First?
Why in god's name would you EVER work for, attend, or send your kids to a college that has put a sniper on its roof and aimed it at student protestors? Like that should be IT for that institution. I would not go within a hundred yards of that institution if it were the last university on earth.
I think if I were a bajillionaire I'd pay someone to update Caesar III just to pretty it up - not actually change the play style. I had Caesar IV but for some reason didn't like it as much. So everything the same, but just better display on a modern screen. Oh and an additional soundtrack. I had to turn the music off, my brain will play it for me anyway lol.
my Debian install has a bunch of weird shite going on with sources and sudo and updates that I can't be bothered fixing. Might be time for something fresh. Maybe EndeavourOS - Arch-based sounds fun. Or maybe just Mint, boring but stable, get stuff done.
@unnameduser Assuming it's not an issue at kernel level, I'm going to go either openSuse or Fedora - get away from Debian based distros. Or something Arch based, see how that goes. (I can't download too many to test as we're in a rural area and the internet is slow.)
As educators it is incumbent upon us to approach new tools critically. Pedagogy must be evidence-based. We don't just adopt random strategies without testing them. This includes so-called artificial intelligence / machine learning . #education
Haven't finished watching the freebsd at netflix prezi because reasons. Wondering what the security implications of bsd with zfs are given it records a checksum with data. Can't quite get my head around how the file system works - no volumes or partitions! Apparently there is a lot of freeBSD code in OSX. And yet the BSDs suffer from lack of developers.
@helgztech That's what everybody says, until it's too late to get out the 🐇 hole. 🤪 Just a suggestion, but if you can spin it into Gnome Boxes, at least the VM part will be piece of cake. But don't worry, plenty of challenges ahead! 😆
Does anyone else get the absolute heebies from the current trend for choppy editing? Taking out the very spaces between words? It's horrendous. The jumpiness of the video, too.
Added bonus, it softens people up for being ignorant for edits that rearrange words to misrepresent what people have actually said.
