It seems to hit that right balance of bleeding edge while SUSE are still testing the packages for a bit to ensure there aren’t bad updates. Fedora sounds interesting to me as well, but I’m not going to fix what isn’t broken.

I’ve been mainly on Linux for a few years now and honestly once you have your alternative apps going it’s golden.

I think it would be great if the technology was more mature, and there was proper accountability for the negative consequences. I think we need a conservative approach npw, where the CEO of the companies pushing self driving are personally held liable for manslaughter if someone dies due to an error.

Jalapenos are too important to me to not consider them generally underrated.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Gang. The only distro I haven’t been able to break after 6 months (well, I have, but I’ve been able to snapper rollback every time)

Please let this finally be the year of the Linux desktop.

This could be very handy to be able to still be notifiable while not driving your family crazy.

I’m not trying to be a dick, but in what ways is Jellyfin vastly inferior to Plex? I haven’t used Plex before but Jellyfin does everything me and my family need from a streaming service.

The most financially destructive edgelord Zieg Heil in history.

Sounds like someone is in some financial trouble with TSLA dropping.

Haha maybe! Though I kind of expected no others due to how technologically disinterested people are down here TBH.

Oh yeah the annual firebreak check for sure does happen out my way, though definitely not every year. I think that’s spot on re/ personal vendettas. Oh yeah that stuff gets more hectic every year, even residential bush fire risk for new builds are really strict now depending on the BAL rating.

I did the maths once and estimated that there’s probably about 10 people down here who ever signed up for Lemmy and 1 - 2 people who are active users, guess you’re that other guy lol.

I’m not on a farm, but I’m on a bush block in a bushfire risk 2 according to that map (good link!). Never had a ranger come around, though we did recently have a local fire brigade volunteer do a info session/Meetup at the end of our street. I would imagine business out here/wineries would have to formally have a plan.

And here I was thinking I must be the only Lemmy user in South West WA.

I agree that Fire risk in rural properties is taken seriously, though not many people I know who live down here actually have the pump and water infrastructure available to them if they had to fight a fire and the power goes out. I wish it was one of those things we took even more seriously.

US + Russia Vs China Vs EU

Australia meanwhile has to choose their alliance based on Economic ties (China), Military ties (US) or Ideological ties (EU).

Annex Russia Donald, you fucking pussy.

Boost is the best frontend app for IMO.

People are being cynical about the laws applying equally to Big Corps vs regular people.

If we make a special case for abolishing copyright if it means you’re training an AI model, does that mean that now everyone can download copyrighted material if they do some form of locally hosted training?

The answer will probably end up being: one rule for the corporations and another for individuals.

Haven’t found it in Annas Archive, will need to do a more thorough search later.

Is there a way that I can get the book without giving an ex-Facebook exec money?

the federal government should embrace policy frameworks that preserve access to data for fair learning

Sounds like we’re good to download anything then as long as we get the copyright material for that purpose.
