The site hasn’t been designed yet, so I can use whatever database is most appropriate. I’m only familiar with SQL and MongoDB so far, but this project shouldn’t be a complicated design so I’m open to alternatives.
I can definitely add a field for that, and I suppose I could use even a lightweight langauge model (or hypothetically even a static thesaurus dataset) to populate it automatically, allowing for manual overrides by a user in case it suggests something irrelevant.
A friend of mine has their large corporate company telling everyone they have to show up to one of their offices on at least two days each week. Now a few people just walk there at 2355, clock out at 0005, and spend the rest of the week at home.
Silly conditions -> silly behaviors
he is still completely new to this so I want things to work out perfectly for his first experience.
If you’re able to be there for the install, then great. I’ve had a couple of times where, due to certain hardware, it needs a different sound server or some other workaround. In an extreme case, you might need to fallback to a second choice of distro.
but I have been hearing a lot about Bazzite lately and see that it offers a very nice gaming experience
Is there anything specific you’ve heard that applies to your friend’s needs? (Honest question, I haven’t looked deep into it.)
If it’s just small things like ‘Steam and [etc] is installed already’, then you can just do that easily anyway.
no typical package management like apt or pacman as I browse their docs, instead it relies heavily on Flatpaks [snip]
Keep in mind that Mint uses apt and (optionally, but IMO inevitably for a gamer/dev) Flatpaks integrated in their package manager, which has gotten much smoother but still is two different systems which can cause confusion. I don’t know how Bazzite handles this.
I remember Happy Tree Friends made some YouTube Copyright School videos, but I’ve thought they’d have a real opportunity making public safety warnings.
Yep, I’ve also gotten responses pretty reliably from professional artists, including those I’d assumed would be far too busy to answer (including the directors and writers of famous tv shows).
Are you looking for the Animal Smoothness Scale?
Which countries do you think the mess will overflow into first? (Not to mention the ongoing global effects of the US dumpster fire)
Nationalism isn’t a useful way to see the situation. It’s everyone’s problem, and those who have the wealth and influence to help are especially obliged to solve this.
I wonder if this has any practical benefits over running a Windows OS in a VM…
edit: piping, or easier collaboration between, Win32 and Linux programs could be an example. The creator mentions creative and gaming applications.
I’ve willingly learned Calc (LibreOffice’s open-source spreadsheet tool) because I’ve made spreadsheets for my own needs. But to “become employable”? No way.
Our cogs do not feel amplified.
For an extra answer, GrapheneOS is based on stock Android, in contrast to the Linux-phone options they mentioned. Since it’s only (officially) supported on Pixel phones and focuses on security and privacy more than other customization, it’s actually the most stable and easy transition I’ve made, coming from an Android phone already. Installer is super easy compared to other phone OSs I’ve tried, you can do it by connecting the phone to a computer, opening https://grapheneos.org/install/web , and just pressing buttons to do all the normally-complicated steps. I was very impressed with that.
This post just gave me flashbacks to when I was trying to make a custom Plymouth boot logo on QubesOS and kept having to restore from backup after bricking.
But hey, at least eye strain won’t be an issue for your lxdm now
I think the description starts off too technical - “link aggregator” is correct, but not a term that many people know about. “Selfhosted” might even be lost on most people.
Perhaps something more simple would help as a first introduction, there’s plenty of opportunity for the more technical-minded to learn more. Maybe calling it a “network of content-sharing and discussion forums”? I’d love to put “decentralized” at the front, although I’m not sure how obvious that term is.
Since the micronation is unrecognized, within the territorial claim of the UK and easily within reach of their law enforcement, I wonder what the Principality of Sealand would have to do before the UK attempt to enforce their laws on them. Would the huge pressure of recording and film industries have enough power to compel them? Sealand have gotten into serious armed shenanigans before, which if one chooses not to interpret their governance as valid, would effectively be ransom.
Their wiki page mentions HavenCo, a data haven which apparently was operational for a few years.
Good example, with the caveat that one would still be subject to the intellectual property rights of Russians, and I’d assume of their allies. (I know I used Hollywood in my example, that’s on me)
Thanks for adding the source.
Yep. “Hmm, ‘unknown?’, let’s assume they’re all Linux!”.
Linux is doing well, no need to lie about it!
Blame culture isn’t a way forward, both the con and the conned hold partial responsibility. Power doesn’t come from thin air, and those who voted for this regime helped empower it.
Thanks. Lots of the documentation was difficult to parse for a beginner so your explanation of those features is very helpful.
