If your main concern is boat, you will likely be fine with any Linux distribution. There are more beginner friendly ones out there.

That said, if you play lots of PC games, even if they’re Linux compatible, switching away from Windows isn’t going to magically double your FPS. Hardware still matters.

Using taxpayer dollars to fight culture wars over chatbots. What a timeline.

I’ve tried just about every distro over the past decade, and I always come back to Ubuntu. It commands the largest share of the Linux market by a large margin, especially when you consider its derivative distributions like Mint and PopOS. It also has excellent support from hardware vendors, specifically NVIDIA in my case.

Please post back when you get clarification. I would be happy to donate directly toward maintaining this instance.

I started a “songwriting sprint”, and I think I got one or two usable tracks out of it. I’ve also been playing a new Minecraft survival world and reading a book.

Does anyone know the root cause of these frequent outages and if there’s anything we members can do to help out?

Assuming you’re running Linux and don’t need any advanced features, Apostrophe works well. Obsidian is also a great cross-platform option.

I don’t disagree with you, but sending and receiving emails requires transmission of unencrypted metadata. There’s no easy way around it

Proton’s privacy policies state that they retain unencrypted metadata (addresses, timestamps, etc.) which are required to provide the service. This information may be disclosed to law enforcement. However, the actual content in your account is largely end-to-end encrypted. Law enforcement might request it, but without the keys to decrypt it they won’t be able to read your data.

When I was in grad school, I had a Light Phone II as my primary device. It was more than sufficient for texting and calling, and I could even listen to podcasts. It had a GPS, but it was pretty bad. After graduation I moved to a new area and ended up getting an iPhone. I average around 3-5 hours of screen time per day, but that doesn’t include my computer (8 hours a day at work as a computer engineer) or TV. Eventually I would like to return to my Light Phone, or even upgrade to the new third-generation model.

If by “privacy settings” you mean controlling what system permissions the Home app has, you’re out of luck. It’s a semi-default app and may be more deeply embedded into iOS than is apparent.

If you’re trying to control what other apps have access to HomeKit data, you can find that in Privacy & Security.

You’ll get an email from Framework when the order is preparing to ship, and you’ll get another email with a tracking number when it is on the way.

It’s required by US law for organizations to collect this data on donors. It’s also to your own benefit, as most charitable donations are taxed deductible 

Honestly, I don’t think Snaps are so bad. Canonical’s top market is enterprise, and Snaps are ideal for deploying applications in these environments. If you’re an end-user, you can literally just uninstall the runtime

Not sure about their business model, but I love Glow. It’s great for browsing folders of Markdown files.

But what does that have to do with consumer privacy?

I’m not sure why being a “privacy vendor” forbids you from using AI tools in your development process

Well done. More and more companies are deploying LLM-written code in production environments. Might as well be honest about the results so we can learn what does and doesn’t work.

The bill suggests that violations may be “discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.” Automated snooping on people’s private correspondence should constitute unlawful search. Fuck that.

Yeah… I am not sure how much this incident has to do with facial recognition or media surveillance. You went to a large concert for a globally known artist, where you can reasonably expect hundreds of cameras owned by both individuals and the venue. You brought your side piece, started touching all up on her. Recall the Jumbotron, which is famously used to highlight couples. Then you act shocked… That’s how you win stupid prizes

This package is essentially comprised of web apps which open in their own windows. It will not have the deep system integration that you may be used to on native MacOS. You could use this, or you could use iCloud in your browser like one might do with GSuite
