Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it’ll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.

I just got a 4k TCL QLED TV from Costco a couple months ago. Have been quite pleased with the image quality so far, but I keep it disconnected from the internet, and only use it with my nvidia shield running the projectivity launcher as the home screen to switch between smart tube, Plex, and steam link.

Not an ad in sight.

If the phone rings, by the time I get to it they’ve usually already hung up or reached voicemail, so I only end up answering if its important enough to call me twice.

Apps that depend on talking to specific hardware ( including the GPU) do not always work in a VM.

Unless you go about setting up IOMMU groups with QEMU/KVM… (And have a second GPU to hand over to the VM.)

Nextcloud.

Does everything from GSuite that I need it to, but without looking through everything I upload, and analyzing it for advertising and other purposes that I wouldn’t consent to.

Don’t throw bricks. Throw milkshakes.

Show them they’re just a bunch of angry nerds.

If you’re tech-savvy, or willing to learn, A nextcloud instance would be my goto

First OS, WinXP.

Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.

I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it’s what I’ve stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.

But you can legislate on whether to stop giving that country’s military the weapons it uses to violate any ceasefire orders and continue the genocide.

Oh, but they did.

It just doesn’t resemble the bourgeois ‘democracy’ we have in the west, but rather something else entirely that better fits the 'for the people, by the people, of the people" definition of democracy.

I’m willing to bet that some techbro either already has, or will in the near future propose an Ai toilet that will do something exactly this.

Or the new Ubuntu Cinnamon

I’ve been loving Andy Weir’s space trilogy (The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary). I haven’t been able to put his books down, and another one of his stories is currently in production for a film.

1000/1000, £25/mo. Plus an extra £5 which included some mesh AP’s and a static IP not behind a CGNAT.

Yeah, there’s still plenty of issues I have with my framework laptop, but I’m ultimately happier with it than I would’ve been will Dell, Lenovo, Asus, etc.

I thought the hardware term was called a “paper launch”

I have been using Linux since the windows 8 days, and still see no reason to return.

Not the collective ownership of everything, just the collective ownership (and eventual abolition) of private property, which differs from personal property in that they are assets which are used for the purpose of capital accumulation (e.g factories, real estate, farms, supermarkets, etc.)
