The Chrultrabook project makes the distro run a bit smoother once it’s installed by providing fixes for the audio stack and custom keyboard layouts to make the top row of keys work properly among other things

https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/ provides custom coreboot firmware for a variety of ChromeOS devices. Once you’ve flashed it on your Chromebook, you should be able to just install Linux on it

Something something, republicans are spineless cowards, something something, the supremecourt has been captured?

Pretty much

They don’t choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a “gatekeeper” has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Threema, Signal and co simply aren’t interested.

You could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.

It’s really handy, because I frequently use someone else’s device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It’s like having a password manager on a USB stick.

And they can be hardware based as well. I have a cheap Yubikey USB dongle, which works as a passkey vault as well. Completely OS independent.

Or if you live in the EU you can just install the “PAL” version which works without a PC connection.

I think the main problem is, that it solves a problem, that shouldn’t exist in the first place. If OEMs would build (and ideally also upstream) proper drivers, then we wouldn’t need a translation layer

And one of the other investors is Jared Kushner

They will if tHiNkInG oF the ChiLdReN threatens to meaningfully affect their bottom line

That’s because it is corp. Videogames Europe is the lobbying organisation of the Euopean gaming indusry

Turns out people need villains with faces. And the gaming industry wasn’t personable enough to truly hate.

You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It’s what I use for my setup.

https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?

For a lot of people it’s not even “going back”. They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.

Lemmys default web UI doesn’t have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That’s a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.

Except the competition doesn’t do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won’t close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.

Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn’t a good option either

There are “servers” on Matrix. They are called communities

Here is the relevant part of the documentation for that: https://matrix.org/docs/communities/getting-started/

All the open source alternatives also work on windows. You could try them on your current OS and make the switch to Linux once you’re confident you’ve found a workflow that works for you.

Lightroom: Darktable Photoshop: Gimp (version 3 just released) or Krita Illustrator: Inkscape

One note though: The Windows versions tend to be a bit of an afterthought. Performance can therefore be not as good as the Linux version.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but AIs aren’t actually people. Companies claiming that they are “this close to AGI” doesn’t make it true.

The human brain is an exception to copyright law. Outsourcing your thinking to a machine that doesn’t actually think makes this something different and therefore should be treated differently.
