I want a dumb phone that acts as a hotspot for my tablet and other devices.

Dagamant ,

You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.

Dagamant ,

Yeah, people are just going to keep using it, they just won’t get updates. That means they will be vulnerable to any exploits that come along afterward but most people don’t care. M$ shot everyone in the foot when they decided to limit windows 11 compatibility.

When windows 7 came out I knew people who stuck with windows xp until they bought a new computer with 10 or 11 on it. The market will get a slight bump from EoL but it isn’t going to force everyone with windows 10 to run out and buy a new computer immediately.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Money

Profits now are all that matter. The future is a problem for after dividends and bonuses get paid out.

Direct Action - Utah Phillips (youtu.be)

This is one of my favorites. Utah was a huge fan of this idea he called "the long memory". The long memory is the idea that as long as we know where our movement comes from, we'll have the knowledge to combat both new and old tactics meant to divide us. This song describes the true story of labor conditions and direct action in...

Dagamant ,

I love Utah Phillips. He had a great way with words.

[Question] Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

Dagamant ,

Its newer.

Dagamant ,

Im 100% with you. If I were going to set one up it would probably be XMPP. However I havent dug into the features of each to do a proper analysis on which would suit my needs because I have no need for a chat service right now.

Dagamant ,

But it is a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios. Most scenarios. The only time it isn’t is in niche specialty situations.

Dagamant ,

That is a niche. its a large niche, but its still a niche.

Dagamant , (edited )

This actually gives me some confidence in my programming skill level.

Dagamant ,

Yeah, I use Python as a hobby and I my biggest project is a discord bot that does a bunch of things. Just for kicks I tried answering the questions without google and made working solutions. I don’t know if they are optimal but they work and I didn’t have to look things up.

Dagamant ,

I’m also looking forward to when game companies try to add kernel level anti cheat to Linux/s

Dagamant ,

I’m running both image and text generative AIs on an 8 year old PC with a $250 nvidia 3060. There is some latency but it is very usable. I use them as the brains of a private discord bot. Granted, it’s not going to be enough to start a business but it has paid for the video card with image credits and donations.

So yeah, it can be expensive but it’s still reasonable to run it on budget/used hardware for personal or small scale implementations.

Dagamant ,

they probably didnt have a conch

Dagamant ,

I finally convinced my wife to get a brother laser printer after she went through like 5 HP printers. We have had the thing for almost 10 years and just had to change the toner. I can print from every computer, tablet, and phone in the house with no issues.

Dagamant ,

I switched to just using Docker and nginx reverse proxy. It’s more setup initially but less overhead.

Dagamant ,

Why are my CPU temps going up?

Dagamant ,

Don’t we already have .local for that?
