yeah that’s the one

Yeah

I’m using the web interface through VPN usually. Not optimal for offline use ofc

Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.

If that’s true there’s an argument that the name “secure boot” is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn’t be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.

Currently using siyuan. Just wish you could use the app with a self hosted instance.

Something about your apostrophe placement and abbreviation really pisses me off

I agree some questions feel forced, even rhetorical. I have a hard time believing it’s AI. I think it’s either a bunch of alt accounts from one guy who needs help winning arguments or a bunch of people roaming around in very weird social circles.

But yeah, there’s days Lemmy feels like a breath fresh air, and then it feels like someone is playing shenanigans in multiple communities for a few hours.

That’s an extremely specific scenario and I would bet money on it not happening quite as you describe.

What if people become more AI literate and generally understand it’s uses and misuses better? What if the dating and social connection landscape changes and some other platform makes things way easier or changes the way we connect? What if people become so lonely they revert back to prostitution?

There’s a million more scenarios and no one really knows what the future looks like, so I think it’s very likely that your scenario does not come true at all.

Then choose one at random. Or make a register page that lets you search for one using tags.

I genuinely don’t think this is hard, it just takes someone putting the time in.

For a very special orange boy

“Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

Ok so when you’re talking about xmpp as a discord alternative, basically movim is kind of what people should be paying attention to.

I’ll def check that out. I am also passively observing progress on stoat.

And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That’s criminal negligence. Very Baldwin-inspired.

Is this some kind of rm -rf / hostage situation?

Now this is a question: how far can you get with xmpp? Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions? Or does something like that already exist?

My first instinct with these older protocols is that there’s no way they could support 10 people in a voice call with concurrent camera streams and 3 screen captures. I’m genuinely curious how far xmpp goes.

I’m kind of in the same boat though. Compatibility still breaks lots of things people don’t think about.

• music production (that’s me)
• video editing & pp
• architecture software & planning software
• legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
• various GIS software
• very specific closed source hardware

There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.

I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible. I had to switch back, and I hate that I had to do it, but I’m working with artists and costumers, and things need to work fast and stable.

Man if they figure out stable alternatives to Premiere Pro and Ableton I’m on board, but for now all of that is not easy to do and the setup can be extremely janky.

Ofc I’m talking actually usable, not “it runs”.

Is that a thing? I don’t think I have ever heard someone defend microslop on here and you can bet it’s different for Linux.

Adding to that, drivers are basically a non-issue in 99% of the cases by now. Linux has really outdone themselves on that.

Case and point, I plugged in an audio interface into Linux after installing a DAW and pipewire and it just worked out of the box.

Because the people make the platform, and not the functions, and for lots of people you need a lower entry barrier, and the entry barrier for both of those is a good bit higher than fluxer.

Don’t get me wrong, if matrix was a bit more convenient (easier to understand and to use like you would discord, and less bugs of which there are still a wide range of), I’d 100% advocate for it. But I can only tell my friends to use something if it’s convenient enough that they will genuinely avoid a degraded experience.
