This is just more “if a company isn’t growing faster than the S&P500 it’s literally dying” logic.

I have no love for Zuck or Meta but if reality means anything then their stock price is still ridiculously inflated.

The biggest problem with a censorship proof decentralized social media platform is that the instances without moderation inevitably attract the sorts of people that get banned from everywhere else.

Pardon my ignorance but isn’t that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

What a scoop! thank goodness for the hard hitting in-depth investigative journalism of uh… smart… prix.

I also believe Frigate actually has a home assistant “app” version so it can be installed right on the same device.

I did the exactly same for the same reason. I think Zorin is well made and great for someone who is not good with computer, but it is probably too simple for someone who is advanced enough to know what Linux is.

These days I recommend Kinoite or Bazzite for someone looking to ditch Windows; but they’re so similar the only question is if they’re planning on gaming with a controller.

For newbies ditching windows I like to recommend the Kinoite version of Fedora, it’s immutable and basically impossible to break, and apps are installed from the “app store” so it’s super easy for someone to understand.

Also KDE has just gotten really amazing lately!

How do you ping a location update? I’ve tried sending the hidden sms that’s supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later

This isn’t what you asked for exactly, but there is an app that allows you to easily install any APK, and many “regular” android apps from F-droid work fine on WearOS.

Ok so not just text, but walls of text? I still feel like there’s something I’m missing. Lumo can’t even like, turn on a radio station.

The percentage of Proton subscribers who are also Linux users just HAS to be greater than any comparable service, right? This makes sense.

I meant why would I pay for a program that doesn’t really like, do anything? It literally only generates text. I’m not understanding the use case.

I’ve played around with Lumo… it uh, generates some text.

Maybe I’m missing the point of why someone would pay for that?

I don’t think you’re in the wrong to say that code nobody has reviewed has not proven safe, and a brand new project (of any kind) is not proven reliable. A brand new big project that’s purely vibe coded is every red flag of unsafe and unsustainable.

Yeaaah not to mention Immich already exists and is proven software.

Yes exactly, my potentially hot take is that twenty years from now we’ll look at immutability as the tipping point that sent Linux mainstream on desktop.

I think Fedora Kinoite is the best distro for someone coming from Windows due to KDE’s flexibility and similarity to Windows and it’s immutability. Default Ubuntu is great for people familliar with MacOS, and it can even be themed to be basically indistinguishable.

Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

Here are some that come to mind:

Unless you’re driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.
