If you were using linux in the 1980s you were way ahead of the curve.

It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.

Um... Debian? I may be biased, but sometimes I think half the "which distro" questions I see are specifically designed to get me to say Debian. It's unclear why you think that more frequent updates would be an advantage.

WTF Google, did you really feel that gemini was such a threat that you had to usurp its name?

One of the main things that turns people off when the topic of "AI" comes up is the absolutely ridiculous level of hype it gets. For instance, people claiming that current LLMs are a revolution comparable to the invention of the printing press, and that they have such immense potential that if you don't cram them into every product you can all your software will soon be obsolete.

Good artists copy. Great artists sabotage free software in order to steal crypto wallets and credit card numbers.

It used to be pretty bad, back when it was using all the dirty tricks it could invent to build its monopoly. By now though it's just obsolete.

#ChatControl and #EUGoingDark . None of this has even been discussed in the run-up to this election.

Increasingly it does look like Europe really is going dark.

I still have some games that I can only run on my PS3, but I don't really use it much.

using duckduckgo over searx

Well no, but I am getting results from duckduckgo through searx. It's a local instance and when I'm on the road I'll use duckduckgo instead sometimes. It's a big drop in quality compared to getting results from six different engines.

Depending on the vendor providing that trackpad driver it may not be a substantial security risk. But it is a loss of software freedom, which some people care about.
