Su Linux is most likely the answer to lering younger people to use computers fedora is especially good becouse it has a nice package manager (dnf) that is easy to understand
One problem I have noticed is that sometimes the page title is not as good or appropriate as the headline at the top of the article and I think either should be valid. The title doesn’t explain things as well or it’s cut off or it is far more clickbaity and it triggers the bot. Is there a way for it to scan both and then make its call?
All social media lives and dies by engagement. It doesn’t matter if you’re Lemmy, MySpace, or an obscure forum dedicated to ant husbandry, what keeps you alive is engagement from users. This generates revenue from ad sales and sponsored posts.
In my opinion the issue with LinkedIn is the duality of its use. Most users like you and I just create a page, upload our CV, connect with our coworkers and then close the app. We don’t spend time engaged with the site, we’re not moving a lot of traffic and we’re not purchasing services.
So LinkedIn encourages “content creators” to try and bring in views, and then they try to sell things to these viewers. Want to be successful like this person? Buy LinkedIn learning! Want to have recruiters fighting over you? Buy LinkedIn Premium!
Generic content just brings in content and they bill it as career development.
My 3 year old daughter has a 2010 MacBook running AntiX. She knows how to boot it, press Enter on the dual-boot screen, and is getting close to being able to select Stardew Valley from the app menu. She also enjoys playing GCompris.
Don’t ask me details because I literally am just checking my fedi feeds today but the calckey rebrand has been unveiled and the new name is apparently firefish. Anyway was riffing on how it translates into Malay… Now, who’s going to set up an ikanbakar.social or bellamy.rd or bella.my? (ikan bakar jalan Bellamy you’ll always be famous)
openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
wireguard
nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
pihole (block ads by dns)
nginx for my website and some related website stuff
Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)
The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it’s pretty clear by my software list that I don’t ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn’t run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It’s powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like “oh, yeah, I want file X but it’s on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both.”
I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.
Does Android really even use the Linux Kernel anymore? I thought they forked it about 15 years ago and at this point it has diverged so much its not even really the Linux kernel anymore.
Dude literally months ago smartphones with android 12 were affected by dirty pipe, that was available only for kernel versions between 5.8 and 5.10.101!
I feel like most replies here are missing the point.
The entire premise of the statement is that privacy is about defending your dirty secrets. When people say “nothing to hide” they’re really saying “I’m not going to post about anything I want to hide”, but that still misses the point.
For me it’s the subtle principles of advertising. I don’t want to be advertised to, at all. I certainly don’t want some blog to know what adverts I’m likely to engage with, because that is simply none of their business.
That’s it. If that doesn’t bother some people, that’s entirely fine. I’m a bit weird, and the whole idea of being tracked to figure out what things I might want to buy makes me very grumpy.
I hate ads, with a burning passion, but when I get stuck with one that’s wildly irrelevant to my interests, I know that I’m doing something right. Feels good to be a blank spot on the algorithm.
I am doing a paper on this. Privacy as hiding something shameful is a dated concept, like, before villages were a thing. I haven’t time to develop, but privacy was always a privilege of the rich. Back when people were in villages and technology was word of mouth, rich from the time being were in their castles. Knowing what is on peoples mind is a old form of control, while having the right of privacy is freedom. I am a grad student and I have to develop more on the subject, but it’s not about hiding your porn watchlist, lol. It’s about having control of your own decisions. If you understand how someone thinks, changing and satisfying (or pretending to) is actually pretty easy.
If anyone like Futurama, watch the “Killer App” episode
It’s wrong to be dismissive. Hiding something shameful is now, and will likely always be, a critical element of privacy. I agree that it’s not the whole story (or perhaps even the most important part) but it’s certainly the part that people many people spend the most time thinking about.
I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) … so far there’s 3 users and ~9 subscribers
At home, my parents are forced to use Windows and macOS because of their work, but all the machines at home are either Linux or a Linux/Windows dual-boot. The mobile phones run LineageOS. I haven’t succeeded with my little brother, who’s the only one with an iPhone.
Everyone’s happy, and when there’s a problem (which happens quite rarely), I’m asked, and it’s solved in seconds. Most of the time, no one misses proprietary applications, and everyone’s surprised that everything’s free, hahaha.
