not_amm,

I’d say updated documentation, there are some articles in their wiki/documentation that don’t consider the default configuration for openSUSE, but an old one I think.

not_amm, (edited )

I agree, one friend installed Debian because he saw that everyone recommended it, but he couldn’t understand how to make VirtualBox work, even less when I explained the reason to him. He ended up returning to Windows because of more issues and he didn’t like troubleshooting as much as I do lol

I’d say Linux Mint is pretty good too, Debian alone may be harder for new people who wants a system that just works out of the box.

not_amm,

I think we don’t really appreciate time until we know it ends. Unfortunately, we outlive some animals, but we get to enjoy time with them and doing everything possible to make their life better.

I lost my dog last year, it was rough. My family wasn’t there, I had to go by myself and the vet couldn’t do more to save her, but I was there, she wasn’t alone, she never was. I always watched her, played with her, even danced with her because she was very tall. I remember the first time I saw that she couldn’t peek at the window anymore, she was getting old and fragile and she couldn’t get up, I realized that I could only give her all the love I could, but I distanced myself some days from her because I didn’t wanna suffer her loss, I was afraid of what was going to come in the next months.

After some time, I realized I was being very selfish because I would remember all the love I had for her, but she would remember how in her last months I abandoned her, and I couldn’t let that happen. My love for her, my time with her; our time together was what make some parts of my life great! She made me feel better a lot of times and I always reciprocated.

I think one of the points of life, at least mine, is to make other lives better, that includes to help all the animals I can, even if I’ll have to suffer when they’re gone, because they will be happy all the time they lived.

Amazon- and Google-backed AI firm Anthropic says “general-purpose AI tools simply could not exist” if AI companies had to pay licences for the training material (www.computerweekly.com)

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) company Anthropic has claimed to a US court that using copyrighted content in large language model (LLM) training data counts as “fair use”, however....

not_amm,

You can’t prevent it without regulations. Companies won’t care while gaining money from it unless they’re obligated to, and even then, some won’t comply either.

BTW, that mentality of “other countries vs mine” is absurd. War crimes shouldn’t be committed by a country just because the other commits them; others bad ≠ I good.

LLMs can’t and should NOT replace a human, at least not yet (they’re not even that good either). If we can’t have guaranteed basic needs such as housing, food and healthcare or a BUI, then they should not keep leaving people without jobs because no one will be able to afford anything.

not_amm,

I’d only like smart windows and lights, since I like low yellow light at night and to open the windows in the morning and to close them later. But I don’t like the idea of Amazon or Google having my house (and conversations, internet traffic, etc.) even more at their disposal, that’s why I avoid to invest on IoT devices right now.

Also, there’s the getting locked out of your own house: medium.com/…/a-tale-of-unwanted-disruption-my-wee…

not_amm,

Oh, of course! I was referring only to Google and Amazon because I’d need to invest a lot more if I want an independent and open smart home, which is unnecessary and expensive for me right now.

Alexa and Google Assistant are the default option in México, shipping alternatives is both expensive and hard :)

not_amm,

I guess prices may have changed since the last time I checked, but I think some Raspberries still cost more than $60USD, plus the rest of the hardware.

I’ll check again when there’s money to afford it lol, thx for the suggestion btw

not_amm,

I use some GNOME apps and they work fine. KDE has good support for GTK theming ;)

not_amm,

Does anybody know if there will be more providers or the option to add your own for the Weather widget/app?

not_amm,

Bruh, I only use my printer/scanner to scan documents and I prefer to go to a store to print things. I get charged $0.03USD (I’m not from the US though) for every printed page, which is WAY cheaper than buying an ink cartridge from HP.

not_amm,

I wish I could go to some libraries, in my city they’re almost all in the city’s center. Good for you, though! :D

not_amm,

I used to “virtual distro hop” because I tried a lot of distros in VMs before dualbooting. I installed Tumbleweed and haven’t changed ever since.

I don’t regret keeping my distro, I’ve been curious, of course, but I think i already have it all:

  • Stability
  • The newest updates
  • I know my system very well
  • By knowing my system, I can fix most problems and I know where to go if I can’t.

I sometimes try distros in VMs, but with that and Distrobox I think I already have everything I could need to learn and try them in case I need to work with them in the future :)

not_amm,

That’s what they do for the metro system in Monterrey and some public lights (couldn’t find an English version of this info.): :

Ironically, Monterrey still has a lot of metallurgy, cement industry and car-dependency that doesn’t help this kind of projects.

not_amm,

I liked Just Cause 3 because I don’t even remember if there was fast travel, I just enjoyed moving around the map even if I wasn’t going to do any missions, also for the records of gliding and parachuting.

Now, Starfield has a great way of travel, but its fast travel is just teleporting. If you could at least enter the atmosphere of the planets you wouldn’t need to teleport to every freaking place. Teleporting defeats all the effort put in customizing your ship.

Open Sustainable Technology

Earth’s uniqueness in creating a stable environment for life in a completely hostile space is a miracle. Various life forms have taken billions of years to build up the natural resources humans depend on, such as a protective atmosphere, fertile soil, stable weather, and clean drinking water. As a movement to democratize...

not_amm,

Found it!: opensustain.tech

OP, please edit your post and add the link :)

not_amm,

It’s very useful! I use it to avoid clutter like Tesseract and LaTeX dependencies; using software that it’s not available for my distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed) nor Flatpak and sometimes to try software that I haven’t used before to test, as in checking its config directories, performance, UI, etc. and install/uninstall quickly to avoid dependency problems.

Note: remember to check your PATH while creating your new distrobox, since distroboxes will try to run your .bashrc or similar and you will get errors or results you may not want to.

not_amm,

I started dualbooting W10 and openSUSE Tumbleweed in October of 2022, I got tired of Windows 10 and having to enter regedit to change basic things (they solved some things with winget tbh), using inconsistent UIs and submenus to change other ones. Also, I had constant performance issues, then driver issues that most people told me I’d have in Linux, but have been barely existent.

Since then I barely use Windows, I mostly start it for uni projects and to play Minecraft Bedrock because I get dizzy if I play in bigger screens. I also have less issues with my printer/scanner and the performance has been better. I also love customization and having the option to write small scripts to solve small issues nobody else cares about makes me so happy. There was some software I wanted to try too and couldn’t because it was not available on Windows or it was unusable, like Docker (and WSL was uncomfortable to use; inconsistent file names if you don’t use W10 in english don’t help either).

It’s been a great journey, I love troubleshooting and I’ve been able to solve all issues I found in Linux, while Microsoft Support only said to me: “Have you tried reinstalling Windows?”. I’d say that using Linux daily has helped me to learn more about FOSS, containerization and operating systems, while also helping me develop more skills to solve problems by finding solutions or creating them :)

not_amm,

There’s a book called Opt-Out from Rory Price about a future where humanity starts using AR more and more to the point that it’s almost obligatory to have a device of this kind for everything, even as ID. It then talks about a group that develops a free/libre version of this device’s OS and they have to decide about personal issues or try to maintain their views. It’s entertaining and not too long, but I think it shows a very possible future.

I haven’t heard from its author in some time, but I think they discovered they were someone else too ;), that’s why I love this book.

not_amm,

I think QuollWriter has a way of sharing your work with other people :)

not_amm,

“Can I see the moments when I made other people feel good/better?” or to know what people i helped and how

not_amm,

I don’t like to have to press a button, then search for an emoji. Emoticons are faster to write, I mostly use the :), :/, etc.

I changed that in Mastodon, for example. Someone told me that screen readers have trouble reading emoticons, so I mostly use stickers or emojis there.

not_amm,

I’m not saying I don’t agree, but isn’t Apple similar with a completely locked down system that doesn’t allow apps outside the App Store? I’m saying cause they won their case

not_amm,

Yes! I still question myself because I adopt when I can just so they don’t stay in the streets, but I don’t call my family of dogs pets. I treat them with respect and don’t judge them based on human prejudices, but the rest of the people expects me to treat them as inferior and disrespect them ;:/

And guess what?: those people are usually the ones that are abusive to the dogs/cats that live with them.

Old bottles repurposed for plants (slrpnk.net)

My mother-in-law made these from her mother’s bottle collection. The bottles were found near old cellar holes- they were discarded by the people who used to live there. We think they’re somewhere around one hundred years old. Cleaned up, they make a beautiful display for plant cuttings!

not_amm,

Which plants are those? I want to do the same, but haven’t got any plants that can grow in the ones I have 🤕

not_amm,

Thank you! I’ll check if I can get some (or similar ones) where I live :)
