according to the github readme, you can just run sudo pro config set apt_news=false to disable those

if you have things set up the way you like on xubuntu, it’s maybe worth it to just do that rather than start fresh

iirc, postgresql renames itself in htop to show its current status and which database it’s operating on

huh, i kinda assumed it was a term made up/taken by journalists mostly, are there actual research papers on this using that term?

for it to “hallucinate” things, it would have to believe in what it’s saying. ai is unable to think - so it cannot hallucinate

lmao. as if the ai was gonna have a better carbon footprint than the small plastic thing you replace every 5-10 years

AppImages can be double clicked and executed. They are not a pain to use.

i can understand that, but flatpaks are easier to upgrade and automatically integrated into your package manager, which (i believe) isn’t as straight forward for appimages. also there’s one major repo where you can find most apps (flathub) making app-hunting less daunting i feel like.
also, once your app is installed, it’s always in your system menu, so that doesn’t change much in the long run

Comfortable setup that carried over from Ubuntu LTS.

can’t you carry over flatpaks as well? you can probably copy /var/lib/flatpak or wherever they store their stuff from one system to another, or failing that, save all the app IDs you have installed, and re-install them onto your new system, backing up ~/.var to keep all your data!

and when they’re caught, they’ll dispute the claims with regulators, like every company does all the time.

i remember digging a bit into the french data protection office v. discord a while back, when they got hit with sanctions for not respecting gdpr, and they disputed every single claim, sometimes arguing in real bad faith, like them claiming they handle very little private user data, so they don’t need to do data protection analysies like the law says.

considering google’s sheer empire on data, i imagine they play the same tricks, but like 1000× worse

i swear i argued with someone that said killing lightning would create so much ewaste, and that still sounds like a stupid arguement to me…

you could, but they definitely pushed you to use a single account everywhere, even logging you in automatically to your google account in chrome if you use it on google search or vice-versa

you can definitely back up apps and most files using adb and a computer, and probably even your phone itself by doing adb over the network back to your phone

also, i think there’s a way of setting up a different location provider in the developper setings on android!

afaik, their while thing is that they do everything on-device, so your device is the only one with access to your messages

has Firefox ever not been the first to support new standards?

doesn’t really matter when it’s a google standard…

i used ShowMeTheKeys!

= is not a terminator! it’s a modifier for the previous key: e= -> ə!

i did set up both space and enter to commit a word though, yeah!

to answer to question in the title, on top of what was already said: i just code them myself. of course, it doesn’t work for everything, but for simple programs, i can write a script or a proper thing that does the specific task i need!

no, it was available as an option in OBS already…

yeah, but i mean, i already had the option to use those in OBS!

huh… couldn’t you already get those through gstreamer or vaapi?

^_^

i know i’ve wanted something like this for a while. i really didn’t want to have to figure out how to get the existing keyman keyboard layout to work on linux, because fcitx works fine for all my other input needs, and i already knew how fcitx worked as i made an addon to get on-screen keyboards to work with it a while back…

as i know not many people would dare venture in the world of fcitx addons, due to the quite horrendous state the documentation is in… so if i wasn’t gonna do it, likely no-one else was, so i did it! and shared it with everyone, because the worse that could happen is that someone helps me make it better!
