I like where you’re going with this!

yeah, well-intentioned things tend to go sour when exposed to the glow of anonymity on the internet. Starts off innocent, and goes downhill fast.

The creator, Sean, stating that he started this app as a reaction to the online dating scene his mother experienced, seems fine: an anti-catfishing app would be great.

To give the devil their due, the data they collect might also be valuable as data on how women discuss men online, which at a cursory glance seems to favor far more hyperbole than I see in everyday life.

When I say things like, “Use linux, the attack surface is much smaller”, people say, “well, that won’t last forever”, to which I say, “if a trillion dollar company can drop the ball like this, I’m taking the route less travelled because society doesn’t change quickly, Microsoft isn’t going anywhere in my forseeable future”

glad more people are using Arch-based distros! I finally installed arch (btw) without the archinstall script, and I must say, the more people that can potentially feel the sense of accomplishment that I felt when I got my display manager and window manager set up the way I wanted, the better!

good on you, NVIDIA drivers are very decent these days, on wayland in particular. Glad to see someone rocking an Xeon chip, they are great chips.

And I just learned that CachyOS is based on Arch! I just began dual booting fedora (nobara) with arch, but went with river as the wayland compositor, because I heard good things. KDE is a great DE, keep learning linux, it’s a lot of fun!

Only thing I used matching your needs was an RSS feed coming from a private tracker I’m on. I’m sure there are rss feeds for public trackers too. I self-hosted an rss reader and aggregator, and I could specify which torrent categories I would get notified about.

this is awesome! I’ll have to test this out because gaming with the daughter has been limited to games that support it natively. I wonder if this can work with emulated games too?

comparison is the thief of joy

Just a hunch, since technological advancements seem to hit the public realm much faster in places like China, in the cities especially. I don’t know what the laws are like there, but I’ve heard rumors that there is less government regulations for technologies that can benefit the general public, like drones and automated metros. Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the robots they show off at conventions, to take the place of receptionists and other customer-facing positions.

Overcooked, Liars Bar, Ready or Not, Schedule 1, Elden Ring, Jackbox, etc . . . . . All work great as multiplayer titles on linux. There’s a great trove of fun games that don’t require kernel level anticheat because the the community of players isn’t as toxic.

it’ll definitely get the greenlight in countries like China before anywhere in the west, I believe

Oh no worries, I am writing a Cisco networking exam in about a month, so I’ve actually studied subnets and addressing a good amount, but I don’t mind the refresher!

I was just speaking more generally, in terms of programming, where integers and strings are different data types, yet you can store numbers as a string, which I always found interesting.

interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn’t processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn’t the same as what I used to think strings were: words!

Okay, I’m learning networking but have no idea what this means

“Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps”

Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn’t been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years

Funny, I’m trying to think of the amount of times my 8 year old daughter asked me to switch to windows because Linux has too many issues, and I’ve got nothing.

The real copium is thinking Linux is poverty, just to feel good about windows.

Quality copypasta!

cheap and easy? I tried running it myself and ran into several hurdles, and gave up. How did you host it? VPS? Docker? Bare-metal?

no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what’s not to like?

Author admits smartphones are ubiquitous, and doesn’t at all consider, in a hypothetical situation where everyone unanimously agreed to stop using them, where all this e-waste will go?

Also, how do you disillusion the millions of people that use them religiously?

I get the sentiment, but only a significant technologically literate society would really appreciate the need for greater control over their devices and actually possess the skills needed to modify and configure them.

Greed isn’t limited to any one economic system, I fear.
