After some major fuckups by Manjaro, consider EndeavourOS over Manjaro. They are pretty similar otherwise.

Arch is alright if you aren’t new to Linux.

To be fair, Mint does a good job of fixing the annoyances that Ubuntu introduces. It comes with Snap disabled by default, for example.

It’s not like you can’t use Linux on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. It’s just that AMD works better (and isn’t as much of a PITA in how they treat regular Linux customers).

I’ve been roaming Linux (meme) communities for years, but never heard of this, even though it originates from the Bell Labs. Thanks for providing me with a new rabbit hole!

There’s research ongoing on having LLMs search for vulnerabilities. So who knows, LLMs hacking LLMs (in the wild) might be just around the corner.

To be fair, using Linux is (usually) much more of an active decision.

I thought there was an emacs command?

You just need to read physical media like stored somewhere you have physical control over, without DRM, and there hardly remains any disagreement.

From the image, I don’t see how this was spamming, though.

Force of habit? Plus, if I used Windows, I wouldn’t use Edge out of spite. Fuck their shady ways of pushing users to use it.

This exists. For example, for general decentralized storage, there’s storj.io, and there’s PeerTube. But I guess there’s a reason it’s not more widespread. I’d happily be proven wrong, though.

I’m not sure if we manage to do the same for video though; hosting these costs a lot more.

Timeshift can make use of BTRFS snapshots btw

Star Trek also has this.

Not a bad idea, but if possible, you want to skip loading the ad altogether, which is – to my understanding – what currently happens.

Is there any precedent to ads in Apple products (apart from their store)? Although they’ll surely find other ways to annoy non-Apple users, I don’t think ads are “in style” for them.

Agreed, though I wondered if bad actors actually bothered, given the less restrictive competition. Probably because PH is so large?

Was this after PH removed all content from non-verified accounts? If so, one might wonder how much it actually helped.

I’m not old enough to remember XMPP first-hand, so allow me to ask what functionality you mean. Do you mean to imply a fediverse, where whatsapp.com is merely an instance, such as lemmy.world is here?
