Belgian Shepherd - Staffordshire Terrier cross would be my guess.

Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):

  • Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.
  • Blender will defo work, not sure about the others
  • Davinci will work, has a Linux version
  • VSCode has a Linux version
  • File explorers work.

Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.

I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.

Honestly I don’t mind the price hikes as much as the enshittification of being forced to watch ads again.

So are Cholera vaccines

So basically “pasteurisation was found to have worked”.

Yes. I was wondering about the raw milk issue - if there is an upsurge of H5N1 in cows, possibly without farmers sometimes realising, other times fully knowing but ignoring it for whatever reason, then there will be a surge of H5N1 infections among those drinking unpasteurised milk.

I think the only answer is “Doom”

And here was I thinking locking up a murderer is for the protection of the public…

I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.

Slightly misleading title, I was surprised that the Russians advanced to Kyiv with 36 tanks.

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”

That’s great, I had no idea!

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know!

Now you put it that way… 😃

Running PopOS on a 2012 Macbook Air and Fedora on a 2015 Macbook Pro.

Potential common pitfall used to be having to add the Broadcom wifi drivers separately - I had to add them manually for PopOS but Fedora worked out of the box. Honestly PopOS + Wayland totally saved the old little Air and it’s a fantastic machine to use.

You may have to start using some free third-party tools for built-in features that work on the Mac.

I replaced iCloud keychain with BitWarden for password management. You can use Beeper for iMessage - it’s one of the few things to actually support it. iCloud Drive can be accessed via rclone I think but it might be terminal only - mind if you can get it to work via terminal then you can mount it as a folder. You can use Cider as an Apple Music client. I haven’t yet looked into Calendar and Contacts sync with iCloud but you can always export those and import in your software of choice on Linux.

Battery replacement will also boost your CPU performance, it’s worth spending a bit of money on it.

Depends on how you define private. It’s not “private” in the sense that it is accessible to the public interner. It is only more privacy-friendly in the sense that say, unlike Facebook, there is no need to use your IRL ID data, there are no weird algorithms baked in, and no targeted ads. Nothing would keep 3rd-party scrapers from profiling your posts that are public, but at least by default it’s not evil.

… until Meta will arrive on the fediverse…

He could have fooled us all by stating exactly where he was

Depends on your sector of work. Imagine you’re a therapist or a lawyer…

I mean it even harvests typing data and Outlook also includes calendars etc… It’s really bad.

But yes, I just suggested a re-evaluation of the use of Microsoft Outlook to my company …

I would go with Lakka. I have a Myoo Mini that runs RetroArch at its core and I have found RetroArch to be fantastic. Lakka is built on top of RetroArch and not just for Pi’s, but I think they are advertising it as “even for Pi’s”. The lighweight system will leave more horsepower for the emus.

Relative of Israeli captives confirms ‘3 hostages killed by Israeli fire,’ blasts military - The Grayzone (thegrayzone.com)

An Israeli whose family members were held by Palestinian militants tells of friendly fire deaths and complains, “We used to think the IDF knows what it’s doing.” Meanwhile, freed captives detail “horrifying captivity trauma” from Israeli bombings....

I don’t think it’s about a craving for centralisation but for newcomers and people still learning the core ideas about decentralisation it’s about a promise of more active engagement and more varied content.

But the friendly mines are friendly! They are kind to you when taking off your leg and they never lie to you!

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use water to extinguish fires? I don’t know if AI is a good flame retardant but it seems like an expensive thing to use.
