Thanks I really appreciate the correction! Still using Ubuntu as my daily driver and glad that this it is like you say it is ❤️

sturlabragason ,

Holy shit!

It’s this : m.youtube.com/watch?v=9fa9lVwHHqg&pp=ygUQQWkg…

Lithuanians are at it again, raising money to outfit Ukrainian soldiers with personal anti-drone systems, laser sights and night vision monoculars, all made by Lithuanian manufacturers (sh.itjust.works)

Each set of items is supposed to cost around 7500 euros. 350000 was already raised in the first day. The fundraising campaign is supposed to last until February 24.

Lithuanians are awesome!

I love this sentence ❤️

Had chatgpt poem it up:

In the shadowed halls of gold and greed, Where Mammon reigns, his creed they heed, A whisper winds, a somber song, Of hearts lost to the worldly throng.

Beholden to Mammon and his devout, Souls bartered in a faithless rout, Chained to desires, ever unfulfilled, In halls of opulence, unjustly built.

Their eyes, like hollow stars, gleam bright, Yet void of warmth, devoid of light, For in their quest for fleeting gain, They’ve traded joy for endless pain.

The nightingale, she weeps in woe, For those who wander, lost below, In labyrinths of gold they roam, Yet farther still from heart and home.

And I, a ghost among these halls, Echo Poe’s lament, his somber calls, For in this realm where shadows play, The soul’s true worth is cast away.

So heed this tale, this mournful verse, Lest you become Mammon’s curse, For wealth unbound by love or grace, Leads but to a darkened place.

And there, in silence, you might find, The truest wealth – a peaceful mind, Unchained from Mammon, finally free, To embrace life’s deeper mystery.

Because I’m too lazy to do my own research; does someone have actual good experience with something else?

I’m using Brave search and it’s good for most things if I add an extra keyword, but not good for local results.

Thanks in advance for all the Brave downvotes.

sturlabragason ,

Yeah but those are just privacy protective Bing results, right?

Solution: shift left and become an AI engineer?

Source: I’m an AI engineer 😅.

Yeah I read a 30 year old newspaper a while back and it was like super high latency internet. Message board, posts, replies to posts, personals etc. None of that stuff makes it into newspapers anymore…

sturlabragason ,

I have a Sony M2 Micro card with inside it’s USB adapter.

I’ve used it to install countless Linux distros since 2007 😅

sturlabragason ,

I’ve really enjoyed all of these:

Errrr yes that’s absolutely correct!

sturlabragason ,

Is it me or does most of this look like Gnome? 🤔

sturlabragason ,

Well I guess that explains it 😅

Here’s a picture I took from Perlan Reykjavík a few minutes ago.

It seems the main takeaway from these discussions is that we are all fucked because a decent open source non evil independent browser doesn’t exist?

In the age where a browser is about the only thing you need.

Shit.

Somebody needs to pull a Linus Torvalds here.

sturlabragason ,

Still has a Firefox upstream dependency? Or is it a completely independent fork?

sturlabragason ,

Same.

'Sued by my abuser for millions, I set up a social network instead' (www.bbc.com)

She founded Communia, which she says is a first-of-its-kind social network addressing “social health” - the aspect of your well-being that stems from your relationships with others. It includes features such as journaling, mood tracking, community support and other resources....

sturlabragason ,

While I like the general concept, it seems to me that Communia (which is a part of the Restless network) is basically just trying to profit off of and monetize people’s suffering 😕. I say this after just briefly looking into all of the above.

Hopefully that’s not the case, and if anyone wants to prove me wrong I’d be happy to hear it.

sturlabragason ,

Communia operates a free social network, suggesting their revenue likely comes from user data monetization, advertising, or a combination of both. Given their focus on users in challenging circumstances, this raises ethical concerns about their business model and its impact on a vulnerable demographic.

sturlabragason ,

Doesn’t the piped bot crawl this community? Anyone know if I can invoke that?

sturlabragason ,

Sweet 👌

sturlabragason ,

Thanks! This is great!

sturlabragason ,

I don’t know about you but I was just waiting for an excuse. I ain’t ever going back. It’s a brave new world for me, part of shifting my whole suite to FOSS. Leaving the old internet behind me.

sturlabragason ,

I like how you had the good sense to shut all us Linux fans the fuck up right at the start of your post 😅

sturlabragason ,

For anyone looking for an alternative that’s also FOSS: turtlapp.com

Honey I Shrunk The Kids : The Video Game.

An open world game where you can explore and interact with the world in a large (2 houses and backyards?) map.

TBH I was kind of hoping someone would reply saying exactly something like this! Thanks!

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

sturlabragason , (edited )

I’ve found that using GitHub Copilot CLI is a neat way go improve my CLI skills.

I ask and it explains commands to me.

Being a Dev is so nice❤️

I’m expecting downvotes here but this is one of the reasons I started using Brave. One of the few things I could get to block YouTube ads on a non-jailbroken iPhone.

sturlabragason ,

Well I feel that any cryptobro stuff was entirely optional and that Brave is dedicated to their users privacy.

brave.com/faq/

However I still feel Firefox is the right choice, it’s just not a one that I’ve been able to fully commit to yet.

sturlabragason ,

Didn’t know, thanks.

I’m happy to hear more reasons to move away from Brave if anyone’s got them 🙂

sturlabragason ,

Will do 👍

Hello generative ai image!

sturlabragason OP ,

Oh definitely, that was totally not the point🙂 I just wanted to have something i could quickly go trough while playing. Aon is not as fast to sort trough.

sturlabragason ,

You are correct! The price is less than a third of what I’d expect to pay for that!

sturlabragason ,

What? Why would you need to spend more than £0 on a website? pages.github.com

sturlabragason ,

UBlock + Brave Browser on Desktop, and Brave Browser on iOS without any issues.

sturlabragason ,

Keep hitting CTRL+R until you find it and you can hit CTRL+S to scroll forward if you went past it 👌

sturlabragason ,

FYI dev has been moved to github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp since youtube-dl is no longer maintenaned.

sturlabragason ,

As a father of teenagers using TikTok I can tell that you’d be surprised how hard it is to constantly keep everyone vigilant and critical thinking.

And here is the asshole making a whole nation look bad yet again;
