ChatGPT 4o is the top dog right now, by a lot.

Mac has always felt more like mine than Windows. Nothing has changed there.

And neither holds a candle to the pure, blinding, white light that is Linux. GNOME, KDE, the world is your oyster and the desktop is your choice.

Stop giving them ideas!

Not to rain on the parade, but as long as we allow the reality-sized hole that is non-profits owning for-profits, this isn’t something I can get terribly excited about.

😢

Historically, Debian.

Right now, openSUSE.

I’d prefer just running Linux on metal, but that’s me.

Whatever happened to all those Linux mobile projects, anyway?

This whole “for-profit owned by a non-profit” paradigm needs to globally crushed right the fuck now. It should never have been allowed to happen and should not be tolerated.

“Mozilla acquires ad company”

FTFY, linuxiac.

He’s doing the Hillary strategy: “Who else are you going to vote for, plebs? Trump?”

It’s the same picture.

I am not paying money to see something I know nothing about. They already bombard you with 15 minutes of ads and 15 more minutes of trailers, and charge you for the pleasure of wasting so much of your precious, unrecoverable time.

And when you hit your 30s/40s and have kids, going to the movies is not just costly, it’s a whole… endeavor.

“Going in blind” sounds great, but it’s just not reasonable or feasible for the vast majority of people.

I do like their laptops, but for literally everything else: the fact that I basically don’t own my own hardware.

I can’t install or distribute my own software without Apple’s arbitrary approval. When Apple decides it’s done supporting the products, I can’t even install a different OS like Linux because the hardware is completely locked down… they become paper-weights.

That is not how ownership is supposed to work.

Even monitors are getting “smart TV” features these days… ostensibly so they can push non-consensual ads there, too.

I love Debian, but want Plasma 6, so I’m installing openSUSE right now.

I was going to say most of this, too. I’m a big adherent of BDD, which works well with agile. It clarifies what everyone is working on without getting weighed down in unnecessary minutiae or “documentation for paperworks sake”… it lives and evolves with the project, and at the end becomes both testing criteria and the measurement of success.

The Mist

That ending was one of the most brilliant gut-punches in film history. Stephen King himself said he wished he had written it.

I was hoping it would be a little longer. Give them time to quietly clean up the VFX before home release.

Stop stealing my brainwaves!!!

But you are correct, nonetheless.

I’ve been using Sunshine for Linux with Moonlight on my AVP and that works great. The native Moonlight port for AVP is still very much a buggy, crashy WIP, but the iPad version is a decent enough standby.

Honestly, using virtual Mac Display on AVP is so, so, so good, that I want that functionality everywhere… from any and all of my devices. Sunshine + Moonlight is currently the most promising path forward, IMO.
