I used the 2nd option to connect a macbook pro 17 2006 to my desktop; can’t let go of that stupid thing, no idea why. can’t remember having issues with the cursor displaying (also Plasma, Fedora desktop + arch 32-bit on laptop), but the lag was annoying and the fans wouldn’t stop hollering (Core 2 Duo and ATI X1600 struggling to keep up) so I tore it down. before that tried using an android tablet to same end but also gave up as it wasn’t useful for anything.

thank you for the translation; I understood like five words in the link. sadly, the entry barrier of expensive hardware is way too much to play with it, moral issues notwithstanding. bookmarked to revisit in a decade or so, inshallah.

yeah that was fucking wild. although I am anti-ai, I do make a distinction between vibeshitting and using the thing as a boilerplate helper; what he said there should make anyone squeamish about letting this thing loose on your home folder.

this is an insanely professional-looking project, the (potential) vibed-ness notwithstanding. sadly, unless there’s some post describing what for and how claude & friends is used, not even thinking of touching that.

a year ago I could get the Poco F1 and Oneplus 6T at those prices. SDM845, 8 GB RAM, fast storage, widely available, fully postmarketOS and mobian supported, some Halium options (Ubuntu Touch) along with LineageOS et al. nowadays even faster ex-flagships can be had in the $50 region. that’s what you get when you wanna experiment and tinker, not 10x that to get the same feature set.

they’re latching on to the “go euro” trend, hoping this will send some wind in their sails. it won’t.

they need to fully opensource the thing and invest in supporting the tinkerers and the enthusiasts. what they got now with only some experia models and paying for licences and whatnot couldn’t be more of a deterrent. I can assure you, you’re not losing paying customers with giving the OS away, every tinkerer is gonna bring you at least 20 paying customers.

the only way you’re gonna sell those things is by having a wide and knowledgable user base that will work as your sales people. ubuntu has been at this for, what, three decades and is still lightyears away from being a household name. jolla’s gonna need fucking eons with this spiel.

when those early adopters iron out the bugs and port shit over, then the normies will come calling and then they’ll go how can I get this without the tinkering and flashing and touching someone’s used yucky phone, and then jolla can go here you go, give us bricks of cash.

the idea that we’re gonna shell out 10x the price of a postmarketOS-capable handset to beta-test the thing, I mean sure that’s possible; it’s just not very likely.

I’m commenting on your shitty takes. second, if you’ve spent decades (that’s plural yo) on this planet, then you’re familiar with the concept of a hyperbole. a hyperbole is a purposefully exaggerated statement in order to draw attention to the importance of an issue. e.g. I could eat a horse - no you couldn’t, you’re just mildly inconvenienced with what you think is hunger.

consequently, there’s a distinction to be made between actual calls to violence (of which I haven’t seen any on this platform) and vividly voicing disgust and anger.

aside from the glaringly obvious, i.e. you’re incinerating the planet for shits and giggles, the thing is unsustainable. the best guess (as they’re hiding actual info) is that they have a capex in the ballpark of $1K/day/user. you’re meanwhile giving them $20/mo, if at all - no math on this planet can make that sustainable.

vulture capital and greater-fool-theory can only intermittently hold the bag, but not indefinite - sora was just shut down for that reason.

first off, please announce that the video is from that brody clown so people can not click on that slop; needless to say, I ain’t watched it so I don’t know or care what points was made in it.

second, what OP is doing in OP and his bonehead comments is purposefully pushing a strawman argument, false dichotomy, red herring, and all the other logical fallacies in order to posture as a hero or whatever they got going on between their ears - if you’re anti this bullshit “law” then you are also pro physically harming poor FOSS “contributors”.

this fucking “contribution” shoulda been shot down like any other troll/bullshit plaguing every other FOSS project beset with ai bots and carma-farming typo-fixers and the like, and if by some mistake their “contribution” was accepted, here’s a chance to reverse it.

cali ain’t the world, which by and large ain’t got no such idiocy on the books. and if it did, I wouldn’t bootlick my way to submitting a patch to incorporate it; I would, in fact, oppose it any way I could.

that clown of a “contributor” has a history of simping for the backwardest ideas, antithetical to FOSS and I don’t care one bit what he has to say on any one topic.

where’s the “…or else” part?

there’s so much shit to implement in linux, new shit to make, old shit to fix. preemptively adding this bullshit, without anyone even threatening any meaningful action, should be shot down in flames and this joker excluded from any and all FOSS avenues on account of spam and trolling.

I am sure the tali-fucking-ban are tali-fucking-banning women from using the computers by way of whatever passes for laws over there. is this bootlicker gonna implement “just a JSON field” to that end as well?

grow a spine, you corpo-fetishizing cowards. where’s the “fuck you, make me” attitude? what, california of all places is gonna ban linux? fucking lol.

also supports native wayland, without Xwayland translation. start your game with the DISPLAY variable unset to test it (e.g. DISPLAY= mangohud wine ~/Games/TheGame/TheGame.exe

I envy you - I wish I could wipe my memory and replay it for the first time

“keep your rifle by your side…”

what’s “linux”? which DE?

in general, using the “powersave” governer, available in Plasma and Gnome. the former can be activated automatically, the latter manually or with an extension. one of the largest consumers is the screen brightness, so you should focus on that.

also, undervolting helps if you have compatible and capable hardware.

as presented by jared dunn to emilly cheng in HBO’s documentary “Silicon Valley”

them vets are the main foment vector for what we now know as the white supremacy movement. not that the sentiment wasn’t prevalent, but it was disjointed groups, churches, cults, klan, militias, prison gangs, etc., each pushing their own thing with only limited local reach.

the influx of large swaths of radicalized and trained MAMs was the igniter. all those power squabbling groups started coming together under one banner and they had a new tool - computers.

early on, they realized you can reach a whole lotta more folks with the new tech than the usual zines and the like. so they formed armored truck robbing gangs, and used the proceeds to buy home computers for establishing a network of BBS all over the country, pushing their shit to previously unreachable corners. I mean, if that’s not a michael mann movie, I don’t know what is…

very macOS-like, wish this would take over. am a convert from that side of the fence and tried a decade or so ago to reform linux by way of symlinks to something similar to this but gave up after a reinstall or two, too much hassle. just like CMD-C/V, relearned the new way.

to all y’all with the “it’s just a text field”: what if the field is “race”? “sexual orientation”? “jerks_off_to”? what the fuck has a system managing daemon got to do with any of that? and why would you preemptively put it in there without even a pretense of a fight?

fuck you make us! make linux illegal, in Cali of all places. guess how long that will last?
