baatliwala , to android in Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

Aegis is FOSS and supports easy backup and restore. TOTP 2FA isn’t a very changing or proprietary technology so using open source options are easy.

philluminati , to linux in Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

When I got into Linux I read every physical book I could. Physical books on a subject tend to be written to have chapters that cover whole material. When you try and learn from multipe ebooks you randomly found online you end up cherry picking bits and pieces and never actually read every chapter, so you miss fundamentals.

Maybe you would benefit by reading a PAPER copy of a book about Linux and the especially command line. Linux is a very command line oriented system so maybe trying to tackle some of the struggles head on will help you unlock apt any other tools.

drdnl , to technology in Best Linux laptop for 2023

No sure about 64gb, but for performance/watt and reliable Linux I can really recommend the Amd p16s and t16(s?) machines from Lenovo. Have about seven in the office and they are excellent.

I too, as someone in devops, am wondering what you need that much memory for. Do you simply really like VMs? :)

Also, have you considered doing the really heavy stuff remotely? Whenever I need desktop type power (16 physical cores and 128gb memory) I simply wake the desktop, ssh into it and do it there.

ede OP ,

I have a remote dev environment with 128GB RAM. This is for occasions when I don’t have access to that environment. And yes, I run a lot of POCs and tests, and have absolutely ran out of RAM even at 64GB.

Thank you for the Lenovo recommendation. I’ll take a look!

B0NK3RS , to books in What are the best books for someone with depression? to read...
@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

What did it for me was reading the books to my favourite movies and TV shows. It was at least 15 years of no books until I found The Expanse and now I would consider myself a regular reader.

As for where to get books I’d suggest a local library (free) or eBay (cheap).

TheInsane42 , to nostupidquestions in How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?
@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

I started on lemmy.ml, as I code a lot. I got a lemmy.world account when I found a lot of communities there I wanted to join and a lemmy.studio account for music communities. That was a few min before I learned how to subscribe cross-instance. (I couldn’t find the communities) I could clean up teh accounts, but nah, couldn’t think of a reason why.

Now lemmy.world is my main instance with lemmy.ml as 1st backup and lemmy.studio as special interest. (and I found a Dutch instance)

For Android: fennec does this.

Spoilers: I’m this app’s developer :)

Fennec, the android browser app by Mozilla?

@delirium@lemmy.world avatar

No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn’t aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we’re going by fennec rn

Thorry84 , to showerthoughts in If someone built an anti spam AI bot to answer spam calls the phone lines would just be call centre bots talking to AI bots

This will be how everybody communicates at work in the future. You tell what you want to say to an AI. It will send a five paragraph polite mail to your coworker. The coworker doesn’t read the mail, but has his AI put a summary in his inbox.

So instead of just telling each other what we want to say, it’s wrapped in layers of bullshit. Which serves no purpose because nobody reads them anyways.

AI powered brain-chips is a concept that terrifies me but also fascinates me because it would avoid this kind of useless bullshit.

Imagine having a very advanced AI in your brain that knows you really well (because well, it’s in your brain). You could have concepts and information explained in the most effective way for you, or (and this really is scary) directly written in your brain so that you suddenly just know something. Your colleagues would just have to think the information that you need to receive, and then their chip and your chip would communicate so that the message gets “translated” to your own “thought language”.

I think that’s the future we will face if we don’t wipe ourselves out of existence first. The “cool” thing is it would be an actual evolutionary leap that would make us something we can’t really grasp at the moment.

The scary thing is it would of course be a shit sold by corporations to transmit ads directly to your brain or some shit

That would be abused so heavily and eventually lead to nefarious evildoers able to literally brainwash everyone else into serving them.

So…just like now but with less personal bullshit. Office AI sanitized bullshit.

LolaCat , to fediverse in Facebook alternative?

Not sure about any that try to be exactly like Facebook. The closest off the top of my head is Pixelfed which is meant to be like instagram if that seems like something you’d be interested in.

gobbling871 , to android in What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️

I used to love Swiftkey before it sold out to Microsoft. I use Gboard with network permissions off nowadays.

Schaedelbach ,

Aside from the useless features overkill, I still think SwiftKey is the best Android keyboard. I ignore 90% of the stuff they implement. Quite frankly I am almost unable to type quick without it.

randomTingler , to selfhosted in Should I use dedicated hardware?

What I feel is that you need do is to compare the cost of power supply vs hardware then choose whichever is cheaper.

sub_ , to gaming in I finally got a Switch! What now?

Do you own a PC or other console?

Nintendo Switch is great for 1st party games and some exclusives, but frame rate / resolution might not be able to compete with other consoles, plus the MSRP of many games on e-shop can be 1 - 3 bucks more expensive compared to, say PSN.

If this is your only gaming device, then maybe consider Crisis Core, Hollow Knight, Octopath Traveler 2, Live a Live. If it’s not, then stick to 1st party games, exclusives, and graphically less taxing games.

Also maybe consider getting 3rd party controllers

As for discounts, I use DekuDeals to keep track of the price drops. Most 1st party Nintendo games only have discount up to 33%, and those discounts happen like 2 - 3 times a year. While 3rd party games… I swear to god I’ve seen games that are on sale every month or so.
