Clearly not the point of OP’s question though

Both Lenin and Castro were obviously better than the regimes that came before them.

They’re more portable, lighter and arguably perfect for media consumption on the go. Add a decent detachable keyboard and it’s all the computer quite a few people will ever need.

Just depends on how you use your pc.

Leaving everything else aside, South Africa went from having one of the worst flags in the world to having one of the best.

Also, these idiots always ignore context. Like, if gay dudes amongst each other say faggot jokingly that’s totally fine (assuming they’re all cool with it, of course), but some straight dude saying it with a negative undertone isn’t acceptable at all.

I make jokes all the time, and I almost never offend anyone. Just don’t bully people and don’t say any hateful shit, it’s as easy as that.

and if you trust your family they can get login to Radarr and Sonarr such that they can themselves pick out content they want available.

Jellyseerr is far better for this! And if you’re using Plex or Emby, Overseerr and Ombi should work for you.

In addition to what the other commenter said: AFAIK Starlabs is the only Europe based manufacturer that makes their own Linux based laptops (non Clevo/similar computers). I personally don’t have any experience with their stuff though, but I’ve never heard similar complaints about them that are levelled at Purism.

I’m really excited about Linux tablets, but quite apprehensive about Purism as a company. Starlabs’ new tablet does also seem like a compelling package, luckily.

Man, I don’t know. I try to use the products from Google, Microsoft and co as little as possible, but it’s hard to completely cut them out of my digital life. I don’t think it’s really about drawing a line - because it’s terribly difficult to gauge how much data they actually have and how valuable a service is to you - but rather about trying to avoid those services as much as reasonably possible.

I use Kopia, and I’ve successfully restored multiple backups with it.

Without ever having used it, I can say with complete confidence that it’s probably bad. It’s not an optimised consumer level device, it’s a product aimed at enthusiasts and tinkerers who want to implement Linux on a new platform and form factor.

That’s its strength and its weakness imo; the UI is not as clear as the Organic Maps’, and it feels relatively cluttered.

Also, Organic is both gratis and libre, while OsmAnd is subscription based on iOS. It is a one time purchase on Android though, but that still means the full app isn’t gratis.

Bluesky is at least federated, no?

No, I’m not singling out human brains. Other animals have proven to be quite adept at problem solving as well.

LLMs, however, just haven’t. It currently just isn’t part of how they function. In some cases they can mimic actual logic very well, but that’s about it.

I am convinced LLMs can be used to handle relatively routine communication tasks, maybe even better than a human would. However, it has no underlying intelligence, and can’t come up with actual solutions based on logic and understanding.

It might come up with the right words that describe a solution, but that doesn’t mean it has actually solved the problem - it spewed out text that had a high probability of being a good response to a certain prompt. Still impressive, but not a sign of intelligence.

Linux Lite isn’t a Canonical project, as you seem to think. Also, even though I also prefer Flatpak, Snap is vastly overhated.

True, but there were also a number of subs (thinking of the various meirl spin-offs, for example) that naturally had limited engagement compared to other subs. It wasn’t uncommon to see a post with like 2K upvotes and five comments, all of them remarking how little comments there actually were.
