Bazzite 100%. It’s the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).

I’m not really looking for specs I’m looking to visually compare.

deltachat will leak metadata everywhere

Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

While I wouldn’t say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I’d use it but only in rare circumstances.

What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I’ve encountered is the “long click to preview link” and it’s… not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.

I upvoted you, but I do feel it’s only a matter of time before the open source community outpaces Apple as well. Just a few short years ago the “year of the Linux desktop” was a joke. Now for many, Linux is unquestionably the better option.

Imagine having the option to be-exactly-like-MacOS-if-you-want-but-aren’t-forced-to (basically what’s happened with Linux and Windows this year). It would be game over for Apple, at least from a software perspective.

Zorin is a good OS but IMO it’s a little too simplistic for most people who know what an operating system is.

But as the video gets at, the question of “when will Linux be better than Windows” is solidly “today”. MacOS is probably still “better” for someone fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. But Linux is not far behind that either.

Thank goodness, the fan has a mind of it’s own sometimes.

He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.

This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to

wow 9/11 changed everything

If I was the tyrant king of Lemmy I would force all communities to do this

It’s my understanding that anything doing this would also need to also emulate Chromecast, since the “cast” buttons inside the Amazon Prime/Netflix/Spotify/etc apps uses the proprietary Chromecast protocol.

From ArsTechnica:

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I’m inclined to believe DDG.

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.

Hey mods just saying… I think a lot of us would appreciate having a rule against offtopic posts.
