"We believe in an open internet... as long as you use these specific services."

This really sucks. So we're looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. "Hmmm now which search engine was <insert website here> on?"

I was entering my teens in the early 2000's. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn't know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I'm not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren't just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

My cat is named Princess Vivienne von kitty pants.

If I sell all my megalixers I've never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.

Less hyped this expansion but that makes sense as it's a new beginning. Can't wait nonetheless, I always come back to XIV.

Late reply, but I've got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

I rented this game so much as a kid but never made it past Threed. I never cared and just loved roaming around. It wasn't until years later, just a few years ago now that I finally completed it start to finish and got to see how much more bonkers it got.

Well the CEO just had a massive panic attack yesterday and said there's no way we're going to finish this major project in time and the company is now ruined. The company is only one person. It's me.

I always do this too. You think I'm going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.

I LOVE the idea of Lemmy and the decentralized web and people coming together to forge our own way. But there's a far too high ratio of elitism, smugness, arrogance and belittlement to people that just want to discuss the things we enjoy. It is just really unfortunate. I don't engage very much, or at all really so I understand part of that is on me, but every discussion I find I'd like to chime in on is already polluted by assholes. It's just disheartening.

Pretty much what I do too. If the game goes on sale, and I still find it hard to pull the trigger I just take it off my list.

Good calls, and good luck!

They work in a pinch but even on windows they always end up causing more trouble than it's worth. I recently got a client business, a lawyer's office, where their previous IT got them all Startech displaylink docks. After I replaced a couple of them where the users had some lower end i3 laptops, searches they ran in their document management system finished in maybe 50% of the time.

Good processors like the M1 you maybe can't notice but they cripple the lower end systems.

Does anyone have a quick ELI5 for the AMD P-state or a link to some good info around it? Seems people are excited about and I've been out of the news cycle loop lately.

This is over the course of 9 years. I haven't played in a couple months now, (the aug 22 last played was just me entering my house so it doesn't get demolished) but the itch will come back. It always does.

I listen to the Sunscreen Song when I'm wrestling with things like this. The quote from it that applies here I think would be

"Don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance... So are everybody else's"

Brilliant my friend! That did the trick. Thank you so much.

I miss the early days of android. When the next phone, or next software release was game changing. Now all we have to get excited about is 200mAh spec bumps and the inclusion of new types of data that will be harvested from us.

I'm using Bookstack for myself as well as for work and I love it. It may not have all the features some of the others mentioned here do but there is beauty in its simplicity. It gets out of my way but still has a few power user features.
