swooosh,

My opinion: it’s good. I would use it on a daily basis if someone would ask me to text on it with her. But I’d never ask someone else to use it because there are, in my opinion, better options like matrix and signal which I mandate people to use.

swooosh,

Yes, And more widespread

swooosh,
  1. Company buys 1000 clicks
  2. Adnauseam user click on 100 of them
  3. Company only bought 900 real clicks
  4. If 1% of the people who click, buy, then they only get 9 buyers instead of 10
  5. Company observes that 0.9% of people who click, actually buy
  6. A click isn’t as valuably as before.
  7. To generate 10 clicks, the company has to buy 1100 clicks in order to get the 10 paying customers in order to finance the ads
  8. More ads lead ro more people using adblocker, the more adblock users, the more adnauseam users. The more adnauseam users, the less valuable the ads.
  9. adnauseam usera click more often and faster on ads. If there is a critical mass of adnauseam users, the ads become even more worthless as real people do not get the chance of clicking on it, skewing the curve even further.
  10. As ads become useless because people don’t buy after a click, companies stop paying for ads in that space.
  11. Only companies that can differentiate between real users and adnauseam bots like within proprietary apps like tiktok and instagram can generate money.
  12. Is it really that useful?
swooosh,

Good find!

The communication could be better than just that for something that goes offline completely 😅

swooosh,

On linux?

swooosh,

People started saying apps to programs on computer as well. No idea who’s fault it is. Apple’s? Only old people call it software or so.

swooosh,

Proton has one

swooosh,

if you use docker, docker ignores ufw rules

swooosh,

Good to know, thx

swooosh,

Thx for the correction

Go to the official website, download DaVinci Resolve for Linux and extract the archive. Then simply run the DaVinci_Resolve_XX.X.X_Linux.run

Lol

Volaris website not working for others on linux?

For a while now, I’ve been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I’ve tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don’t believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux...

swooosh,

Write them an email

swooosh,

What about writefreely.org

There are reputable hosters like text.tchncs.de

swooosh,

I didn’t know about that. That’s bad. Is it not even planned?

Some questions about fedora

Hello. These questions are self-hosting related, but I feel they do partially belong here as they are also about fedora linux in general. I have a server which is currently running Debian. It has an arc GPU, and no matter what I do, video encoding refuses to work. I was thinking I might move it to Fedora, but have some questions...

swooosh, (edited )

I just moved the other day with an arc from fedora to ubuntu because i couldn’t manage to get hw encoding with jellyfin and podman. It ran without issues on ubuntu with docker. In case you manage to get it working, ping me, I’d love to move back to fedora and podman. Might have been podman problems all along.

I never had weird issues with fedora. Updating is seemless.

You just have to know what you do with selinux. With containers, you have to know that you have to append :z or :Z to the path you’re passing to it.

swooosh, (edited )

Yes, but never change a running system. I’ll go back to podman in a year or two but for now I’m happy that it works as is. It took me way too long and within a year, I’ll have forgotten how difficult it was.

It’s important that you only use one of both and not both on one system

swooosh,

DE is more important than distro in regards to RAM. Ubuntu runs on a pi, it should be good on any computer

swooosh,

Doesn’t it sound racist to promote people of only one skin color?

swooosh,

You suggest that a low effort question that is read by hundreds or thousands is better than quickly searching the internet?

swooosh,

The more people, the more donations, the more devs, the more user bug reports, the bigger communities, more communities, more brains, more software support, more game support, more likelihood of using linux at work, less microsoft and apple bullshit, …

swooosh,

It’s crazy that reddit doesn’t have to ask everyone if they want to contribute. This shows who owns and controls your posts.

swooosh, (edited )

Like facebooks threads?

Everyone can use it. With reddit’s posts, only reddit can do it.

Decision of Next Os

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t...

swooosh,

Of course arch runs but you have to take care of everything. You have to install flatpak etc. Yourself. You will only do that if you keep up to date with the system. On fedora, especially fedora atomic the maintainers take care of it and somewhat teach you. There’s much more than just flatpak. You have to know the system or being eager to research everything. It’s good to understand linux but not if you just want to own a computer and use a text editor and browser. I’m not op btw.

swooosh,

All good. Arch is just not for someone who doesn’t care about the computer at all and who doesn’t want to know what a firewall is. And it doesn’t matter which distro you use, you should always use the arch wiki. That’s the holy grail.

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...

swooosh,

A new linux user will be born soon

swooosh, (edited )

Linux is not only about privacy. It’s primarily about freedom.

    swooosh,

    You can use element matrix service ems directly. No need for beeper

    swooosh,

    You can always use distrobox. There’s no need to run a distro because you need an app that’s only available there.

    swooosh,
    1. Create a distrobox with distrobox enter
    2. sudo dnf install htop
    3. distrobox-export --bin usrbinhtop
    4. sudo dnf install anyguiapp
    5. distrobox-export --app usrbinanyguiapp

    after that you can use htop or anyguiapp like a normal command on your computer

    swooosh,

    I should’ve guessed when you recommended ubuntu. Sorry for that.

    swooosh,

    I don’t think duolingo is good. But no, best I know is to make your own with anki

    swooosh, (edited )

    I love it. Fedora atomic is amazing.

    swooosh,

    And I thought it’s popos which is German and stands for asses

    swooosh, (edited )

    You can verify builds on android. That’s just an iphone problem.

    Use Grapheneos if you need good security and privacy

    swooosh, (edited )

    That is really cool. I wish I’d read more of such posts on “how do we get there, how did we get here”.

    Most important answer:

    After deciding to support Ubuntu and X11 and Wayland

    I hope it’ll work in distrobox such that you can run it on every platform

    swooosh,
    • which one as well? it’s the first project I know of that starts on mac
    • how do you get to that? That would be funny.
    swooosh,

    Why?

    I’d use it for analysis and prose. I think it’ll be ok in distrobox.

    swooosh,

    Ok. So far I only use it for cli tools like pdlaftex, typst, R, and others. So far it works great. I assume the same for gui apps. Theming will be off but that’s not a real issue as long as the app works.

    I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

    I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

    swooosh,

    It does not matter much which distro you choose, as long as you choose a bigger distro. They are all well supported linux systems. Use a live USB. You do not have to install it, you can plug it in and use it. Or, install via a virtual machine.

    swooosh,

    It’s a good question.

    Fedor does not provide an image for every DE/wm. Anyone can create a custom atomic fedora variant with the desired de.

    Moreover, you can create your own image and deploy it to 100 machines and all of them will have the exact same os and packages. This may not be useful for you as an end user directly but the dev who is developing the image for you (e.g. fedora in the case of silverblue) knows that you have the exact same comouter as him and if it doesn’t work on your pc, it doesn’t work on his, because it is the same. Hence, better support for you.

    The future of desktop Linux might be like OpenSUSE Kalpa/Aeon

    I’ve been running Tumbleweed for a few years now. It’s great, but it’s not 100% autopilot, updates often require manual intervention (resolving small problems) or updates try to add 50 packages I don’t need (recommends) all the time despite them not being in a pattern. I’ve been looking for a distro on which I could...

    swooosh,

    I’m not that knowlegable why ublue was created in the first place but ublue has incredible advantages besides not having to layer packages. You can create your own custom distro and ship it to many comouters without major knowledge, time or effort. Can you do the same with opensuse’s?

    Layering packages shall be annoying. As with other installs, you do it once. Because it’s annoying you do it only if it is important. You do not layer random malware downloaded from the internet. You shall not tinker with the system, that’s why it is immutable. If you want to tinker, use a traditional installation method, or simply use distrobox

    swooosh,

    That sounds like a painful workflow.

    swooosh,

    I am speaking of day to day use of a computer.

    In your case it matters. it always matters if it’s the main task. even in your case you do the comparison once. And a task that is performed once, shouldn’t be the main focus. I wouldn’t use atomic for tinkering with the system.

    swooosh,

    Nothing competes with osmand for hiking or cycling.

    swooosh,

    Here is trash in my area. You don’t want to use it here
