Not enough for it to matter to Apple, and that’s all that matters. Let the bigots jump ship. Then let Google do the same with Android and leave them with nowhere else to go.

Die, die again.

My student loans paid off.

Your rationale for going Pop was my exact one. I knew I wanted the bleeding edge, but this was a device I was going to (mostly) daily drive. I wanted it to be reliable. And Pop fixed that for me and didn’t force my hand with shoving Snaps down my throat.

Glad to have another join the ranks!

Tuya was also supposedly reworking their API/integration to allow for local control, though idk if that ever happened.

And yet so many people store personal files on their corporate devices…

Depending on the hardware, you could totally allow access to port 53 via a firewall rule. Unifi does this transparently if you configure a DNS server running on a vlan other than the one you’re connected to.

Shouldn’t this account be flagged as a bot account? Or am I missing the marker that says it is?

There definitely is a reason to collect telemetry with user consent. Not everyone will go out of their way to report on issues, or there may be features that are underdeveloped that users may use more often than they expect and they want to move resources from focusing on one aspect of the OS to another. As long as it’s done with consent and is an opt-in system it’s fine. I get that this not the case for this Intel one, but I’m speaking generally for development as a whole.

There are reasons for data collection. But having it be opt out instead of opt in is the more evil of the two choices.

Fedora, from what I last heard, is doing the same thing for new installs. You gonna go send your pitchfork over that way too?

I’m still using Windows on my gaming rig, and Pop on my laptop, and each have their own quirks.

I try to catch and release, specifically larger flies (been having a flesh fly problem recently) because it’s just less cleanup.

I’ve never been able to execute that successfully. Also not as easy to do when they’re on a vertical surface or the ceiling.

Yes, and I’ve done that too, but I’ve also had a number of them fly away as the cup closed in on them, even when the cup isn’t moving quickly.

Instinctively, I doubt it. But they can pick up on the air moving around from you trying to swat at it, which is why it’s such a pain in the ass to capture to release or kill one. They are able to tell well before they’re captured/caught that something is coming for them.

This BU blog entry from 2012 gives a lot of interesting information on the many ways they are able to evade us.

You made me exhale heavily through my nostrils. Well played.

Federated under ActivityPub, no. But individual matrix home servers can federated with one another, so in that way yes.

Ah good ol Grafo. Chloevely was short but good.

Lol as bad as it is, just reading what’s output to stdout. Worst case, tailing it via a terminal. I do want/need to actually implement a proper solution at some point, but I haven’t actually pulled the trigger on beginning the hunt for a solution yet.
