Sci fi or not, I kinda want them to get this one figured out ahead of time. It is kinda like assuming that a convicted felon could never be President. You wouldn’t think that rule would need to exist because come on, how could a country possibly want to elect a convicted felon? Its a completely ridiculous notion that could absolutely never happen.

I have to do this command often at work and I can never remember the letters perfectly. This is actually useful, thanks!

A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.

As soon as they came out with scale, I knew core was going to be cut off when scale got good enough. There are just more possibilities with what you can do with Linux. The extra community support can not be understated as valuable to a profit driven company. At the end of the day, they gotta eat too and having one base system instead of two is the way they need to do it. The features are growing much faster on scale than they ever were on core in my opinion.

The real question is could we ever really trust photographs before AI? Image manipulation has been a thing long before the digital camera and Photoshop. What makes these images we see actually real? Cameras have been miscapturing image data for as long as they have existed. Do the light levels in a photo match what was actually there according to the human eye? Usually not. What makes a photo real?

It is the only thing I can associate with Wayland and Nvidia. What other possibilities can there be?

According to their feature support page for M2, it appears it works now.

I am new to Wayland, but on asahi it is mandatory. So I am having to get used to it. Which is more noticeable as I had to change from i3 to sway. They are functionally identical but different in how you configure it with the wayland compositor.

Keep in mind that asahi cut out X11 support and went straight for wayland. It can support xwayland, just know that some things may or may not play nicely if the software doesn’t support wayland. As Wayland is the future of compositors, most popular Linux software should support it eventually.

Linux on arm is good, however as it is not nearly as popular in the desktop space as x86, common binaries for certain applications may not exist on arm if it closed source. You may or may not need those, you can make that judgement call.

Battery life is better than I expected but still not nearly as good as Macos. At least until they can come up with a proper solution for low power usage. Which currently a logistical problem of making something Linux kernel upstream compatible instead of applying a functional dirty solution now.

Linux on M1 is noticeably snappier than anything else I have ever used. It has a great future ahead of it. If your workloads don’t rely on heavy gpu usage and all your software can be found or compiled there. It is a pleasant experience. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I think some of the other users talked about the common things well enough.

Also yes, dual booting is currently the only supported option. They still need macos for firmware upgrades.

That is also an option. Having the google store prevents some weirdness or issues with requirements for certain apps though.

It is important to note that grapheneos has a web version that you just go down the line following the instructions and it will take care of the heavy lifting part of unlocking the bootloader and install. It is probably about as easy as they could make the process. As long as you have the ability to read carefully not do anything stupid when instructed not to, you too could have a privacy focused phone.

You also don’t have to give up the google store if you don’t want to. You can have it reinstalled. What is the difference you may be thinking? Doing it this way sandboxes the store apps preventing them from doing anything you don’t want to while getting the advantages of the play store.

All google knows is that you have the app, not what you do with it unless the app you install goes out of its way to manually report without google services. However, you probably don’t want to use those kinds of apps anyway.

All I am saying is that the transition to better privacy doesn’t have to be bad or immediately. You can take your time.

You know, that’s not a bad idea.

But but I swear by ZFS… Am I??? No… Impossible.

That would conflict with the proposed law. They want to be able to write what they want, not see what already exists.

Gotta love rich people, literally paving through all in their way.

History has taught us restricting access to knowledge never goes well. It will piss some people off, sure. Enough to make a difference? Can’t say, most people are indifferent. As long as they get AN answer, that’s all they care about. Not necessarily the correct one.

Fines I would assume. Lawsuits even.

Yes, but that kinda defeats the point of an open knowledge library for all. This is a problem that should be fixed with legislation and not artificial blocking. We shouldn’t punish the unfortunate for being stuck with the stupid.

It is a play off the title. It sounds like the team rocket motto.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation! Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love! James: To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie: Jessie! James: James! Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! James: Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth: Meowth! That’s right!
