It would be pretty unpleasant watching both Star Wars and Dune. I would recommend watching them one at a time so that you can understand them.

To get serious for a second though: this is real and legit. You can find real happiness in the community that comes with a niche fandom.

It's covered in this podcast if you're interested: The Happiness Lab with Dr Laurie Santos - Nerd Out! The Happiness of being a Fan.

The mind lives in a prison of its own making.

Every eventuality can't be covered by regulation. Sometimes you realise something can go disastrously wrong after someone is hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if this never happened to other mechanical cars to never need regulation. Sometimes you need to wait for a stupid product to exist for someone to make a rule saying "stupid products shouldn't exist".

The most important part of this is:

the vast majority of people never cared

We make our happy little bubble here to be outraged in. The world at large carries on without caring. Just in the past few years, there's been the Reddit API change, the WhatsApp ToS change, the YouTube dislike button removal, etc etc. A small minority (like us) complains endlessly. The rest of the world shrugs and accepts enshitification.

People don't know and don't care. Privacy isn't an issue on anyone's mind (just like climate wasn't 20 years ago). People don't know or care about digital media ownership issues.

Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week (www.tomshardware.com)

Microsoft has been pushing hard for its users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft Account. The newest Windows 11 installer removed the easy bypass to the requirement that you make an account or login with your existing account. If you didn't install Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account and now want to stop sending the...

I'm 6 months into fulltime OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and love it. KDE is amazing. The Steam Deck converted me. Linux users rise.

Linux users rise

8 ads? So the funeral only lasted 5 min?

It works better the way you said it, if you really want to drive the point that this will be a dead duck for sure.

I have no idea what I've missed.... Till I go to someone's house and watch raw YouTube and it's unbearable.

Didn't they recently officially clarify that nudity is allowed?

Good. This is how YouTube dies. This is how Google dies. This is how competitors/alternatives are born. Stop fighting to make Google services useable against every effort of theirs. Let them drive people away to make (or discover) alternatives.

No one will make money from that, so they're not going to do it.

Stories like this have been posted every so often to reddit. I'll believe this is possible when I see it available in consumer electronics (and not just lab conditions).

Also the shittier hardware for more money, terrible ergonomics, and noise/heat of a laptop. I tried using a high end laptop for a couple of years. Now I'm much happier after selling it and replacing it with a PC. 8th gen Intel laptops are dirt cheap and very capable for most tasks (as a secondary device) for when the portability is absolutely required.

The first step is normalising the idea of privacy so people can even see the point of paying for something they can easily get for free.

The next step would be to make products people can easily use without being tech savvy. A synology NAS has been great for me and I praise the setup to anyone who will listen, but even with something like Synology people will need some basic knowledge.

I keep checking videos on YouTube from time to time about whether it is worth upgrading to Win 11 now (which people keep releasing regularly). Keep deciding it's not worth changing.

Then I sold my laptop and had to use my Steam Deck for a couple of months. At that point I thought if I'm going to learn a different OS, then I might as well go all the way and jump over to Linux. Been very happy with OpenSUSE ever since.

Depends on what you want to do. I sold my 2 year old gaming laptop and managed to spend 2 months getting amazing bargains on secondhand parts to make an amazing gaming PC. The Steam Deck and that does a great job of streaming the more demanding games from the PC.

The 9 year old laptop might be surprisingly functional if you use something like ZorinOS on it.

I'll be honest, troubleshooting is still a gigantic pain in the ass sometimes. But if you can get over the hill of setting up the OS, then you're good to go. The thing that's made Linux bearable for me is AI. If I have a problem then I write it out in Copilot or ChatGPT, and it usually gives me the solution on the first try with a command o can just paste into terminal.

Tumbleweed....and Kubuntu before that....and EndeavourOS before that....and ZorinOS before that.....and Linux Mint before that.....and Ubuntu before that.

But I've finally found Tumbleweed to be the OS to stick with. Although I do sometimes feel tempted to go back and try EndeavourOS now that I know more about Linux.

Ah damn it. It took me ages to find a calculator app that fits my needs..... And now I find out it works like the one on the right.
