Yeah no, even the 300-350€ (don’t remember it exactly anymore) I spent on my Pixel 9a were overpriced to me, I don’t even need half of the storage, RAM and CPU speed in here. We really need way less capable but equally as secure phones, who the fuck needs that much computing power to browse websites and write on Signal?
Yeah, they would both be lying and admiting to vibecoding so idk how that would make it better
I feel like with Linux finally becoming not only close to as good but arguably better than Windows (I consider “as good as Windows” an insult at this point) switching to yet another OS entirely will only create more divide. Linux is going in a direction where some caution is definitely needed, but myself, I’ll stick to trying to make Linux better so more people will break free from these fucking corporations. I’ll definitely keep an eye on BSD tho, I can’t say I’m not interested.
Huh, I never heard of that one, how is your experience so far compared to Ironfox?
Librewolf is for your PC, Ironfox is for mobile
that was a rethorical question
You mean the other way around
Yeah it is, but that doesn’t make the concept of it any less valid. Conciousness is the moment when you can think about more than just what your senses tell you, it’s the awareness of internal and external experiences and how much you are aware of them are the levels of conciousness. You could call in as much of a human construct as the concept of time, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s describing something concrete. Just look up something like “levels of conciousness” and think about it a little, it really is such an interesting topic! Then again, by that definition, a good chunk of humans fall on the very lowest points of the scale. Again, not drawing any conclusions, this and my previous message are just to point out that this is deeper an more interesting than some people in this comment section make it out to be.
We have mapped a fruit fly brain and can make it play DOOM. I mean people don’t have much empathy for them in real life, but they do recognize it’s at least a living thing. Does that mean the 1:1 replica playing tetris is a living thing? Is it concious, both living or on a PC for that argument? If we scaled up the same technology and emulated a hamster’s brain 1:1 would that be considered concious? What about a human? Is it even fair to compare a fruit fly brain to an LLM? I’m not taking any stance here, I’m just saying it’s a super interesting topic. Cyberpunk 2077 explores that theory very well and I still have no answer as to what I think.
Is it truly that hard to be a halfway decent human being in these times?
You could try Windows 10 IoT LTSC from masgrave
No fucking way it installed Windows 11, that’s diabolical
I was actually excited to read this because I thought if it was open source, you could just un-Microsoft the code but yeah, that was naive of me. Fucking clowns.
Just gonna shamelessly leave these two paragraphs out of the website of my own distro here.
Same here, I got a Gen 1 X13 for 120€, it’s not powerful by any means but perfect for running Linux and browsing, coding, writing and so on.
Yeah, you have a point, but still, twice in three years? I don’t know how representative it really is, ESPECIALLY when you see 50-100% ups and downs in the Linux user base. 5 to 3 percent and back cannot be the actual stat, that has to be unreliable selection of users.
I still don’t get why I can’t opt in to participate in the survey every month, I’ve only been asked twice in the last three years on Arch
I mean I love that they are sticking it to Adobe but they are slop by nature. If it’s at least useful slop or if you should just use the actual open-source alternatives is debatable, I don’t have any talent with these programs anyway. I’d say learn the open-source alternatives but maybe try the artcraft stuff if you truly can’t do something in the open-source program, but that’s just my uneducated opinion.
