If they said that they went “back” to Windows, why would you assume a MacBook?

Pretty much same. Feels sad to say, but I use Pixelfed much the same way I do Instagram.

Using the iOS TestFlight app for well over a year (is this thing ever going to hit the App Store?).

Awesome, thanks for the info!

How would I check which version I have installed? I just used Fedora software to install. I’ll have to check when I get home. Haven’t had issues, though, so probably not worth the trouble.

Well, I’ve only changed distros a handful of times. But, I’ve broken my system more than a few times, as well. Back when I had more time I tinkered a lot more than I do now haha

Apart from what you mentioned:

• Steam
• Darktable
• cmatrix (very important)
• pfetch
• vim
• Hugo
• clipboard manager

I think that’s about it!

Exactly how I feel. Just keep it in my browser or maybe my IDEs. I don’t need my desktop pinging a corporation with all my data to occasionally use a chatbot.

I’m just trying to get out before using an LLM-based OS is no longer optional with Microsoft. No game or software is worth dealing with that.

Yeah… unless they’re doing some serious optimization for that particular laptop, 14-hours seems like a best-case-scenario kind of thing.

Just curious, the 72WH battery? What’s a “long time?” I use the standard slim battery on my T480 and was only getting 3-4 hours on Pop (both brand new batteries). And forget about standby. It would regularly lose 20-30% overnight if not completely shut down. Wanted to make it work, but that alone made me boot back into Windows for the laptop.

You pay for these things with your data. If the government is paying for privacy-respecting storage or safe internet access, then so are you with your taxes. I’d vote for that, but I’d guess the majority of people would not.

And why wouldn’t they? 90% of the software people use daily is free (as in beer), so of course being told that’s going to change is going to cause upset. It takes a lot for people to want to pay money for something that, to those who don’t value free (as in freedom) software, is no different than the costless alternative.

Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.

That setting is now only available to accounts that meet certain criteria (subscribers, views, whatever), or so I’ve heard. Depending on the videos you frequent, they may or may not meet those criteria.

And yes, this means that if you’re a small channel Google can force you to show ads without giving you any of the revenue.

I have a free account and can’t turn off the mobile signature, which has two blank lines before it. I wonder if turning that setting off just deletes that string, but not the lines.

In other news, water is wet.

Hadn’t thought about it like that. Thanks. I think this will become less of an annoyance over time, too. The more communities show up and get active, the more I subscribe to, then the more I’ll use my subscribe feed and therefore won’t see the duplicates.

Which… Why? There’s no karma to farm here, just post it once and let the conversation happen there.

No offense to anyone, but I’m down voting duplicates to try to stop this shit.

• Music: Spotify
• Podcasts: Pocket Casts

Podcasts in the car to and from work, and while at work (WordPress Developer) with wireless earbuds. I listen to music when I’ve gotten through my feed of podcasts or when reading a book. Lofi and classical are both great for listening while reading, but while coding I prefer high energy music like math rock or metalcore/mathcore.

Some of my top recommended podcasts:

• The Last Podcast on the Left
• My Favorite Murder
• Dungeons & Daddies
• Buried Bones
• Hardcore History
• My Brother My Brother and Me
• Oh No Ross & Carrie
• Ologies
