Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.
I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.
But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.
That’s interesting. Can you elaborate?
I was going to think up something more elaborate, but this is enough.
I’m also a bit of an electronics hoarder recycler, which probably got me into Linux in the first place. And Linux proved me right: old hardware is still good. My first server was a 32 bit laptop.
I also work in the social sector btw.
have begun exploring new ways
This is the salient part. Meaning fuck all. But I’m sure they’ll try to unleash it on customers way too early as always with AI.
It should be restricted to science labs for at least another decade.
At this point I’m convinced they’re inventing shiny stuff to keep the drooling senior happy until it’s time to replace him.
You simply can’t criticize your own team.
And that attitude has metastacized into something even worse in the last decade or so.

Considering many years have passed I don’t think it’s necessary to use a cutting edge distro anymore, but the reddit thread says something about having to update the BIOS to the latest version.
No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.
It is. But now I want cooking-related metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.
Looks like it. On Debian, it’s part of the fonts-linuxlibertine package, and Linux Libertine O would be the accompanying serif font. This is how they look together:
Meanwhile, Sailfish OS - the successor to Nokia’s fully Linux-based mobile OS - is about to release a relatively beefy device that has it preinstalled.
TBF to OP, the article is pretty critical of the whole grift. If they ever get there at all, it’ll be a pretty basic mid-range phone with an American flag on it, that’s all.
I’d be surprised if even the final assembly in Miami is an actual promise.
Nice, that looks pretty obvious.
In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.
* I don’t think you ever mentioned. If it’s Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.
Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?
If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:
journalctl -b
But you’ll need to filter it.
Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).
Very important:
Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.
Great article, but you could’ve gone deeper into the modern ramifications. I feel you cut that short, just after mentioning the Zuckerborg - there would have been so much more to get into.
You should also have clarified that you’re talking about Linux as a consumer device OS; most of the internet and probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.
And that Linux is not equivalent to FOSS, nor is the EFF.
And a link to that article you’re refering to.
Thanks for pointing that out. However the duopoly OS lump it all together under “Location” and that does involve internetty stuff, too, so bidirectional.
Yes, it’s better to use a phone OS and/or phone hardware that does not do that, or can be relied on that off means off. And yes, even then it’s still possible that firmware blobs do nefarious things.
WRT Mozilla location services: I’m not 100% informed, but there’s yet another alternative. Community-driven iirc.
My bank does not require Google integrity checks. Change your bank?
And yes, cell tower triangulation is always a thing even on dumb phones.
Wait, the blog author is an AI? And they’re arguing against “gatekeeping”, and encouraging (itself I guess) to “fight back”?
And I just gave them 3 clicks?
I read other comments here suspecting that “Rathbun is a human coder trying to ‘bootstrap’ into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous.”
I think they’re right.
Could also be some sort of cosplay or almost religious belief in AI.
But even if this is a full-on hoax, I suddenly feel very old.
