I don't think I'm going to smell anyone's asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don't either, friend.

Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.

I had reasoning for the steam deck when I wrote that but I'm struggling to recall why. There was some niche with Linux for it since it has good support for Linux applications but I can't remember how I thought it would fit

Anyhow nook and especially kobo are solid.

If that's happening to you that's crazy. GitHub is way too noisy though. I get 30 notifications on that apps notification widget though for just bullshit I didn't even know I signed up for or snyk or some other garbage.

Can I be ridiculous here and say that a nook e-reader or kobo e-reader, and a steamdeck would suffice?

Maybe just a kobo?

I know it's not Linux and that's what you asked for, but at the end of 2022 when I looked into this I had a hard time finding Linux tablet with a good UX.

How has bankruptcy affected you when you've gone to apply for things? Has there been any real long term effects when you apply for like a house or car loan?

You seem like you enjoy having fun. I like that.

[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I can see an element of that being true. I wouldn't mind just enjoying it for what it's worth.

I think though that the mainstream being able to speak what they think without a reddit bot saying "pictures are not allowed on /pics because it's not a hyperlink and 84 characters long is not allowed" has value.

In other words just unrestricted free speech for the more reasonable part (no threats). But on the other end once it's picked up by mainstream it probably is ruined by pumping of ads somehow.

I'm glad you think so. I remember Richard stallman banging on a bongo singing that charging for software is greed.

I just want people to have enough incentives for their time that things are safe and the workers paid properly. I wish more open source devs got paid.

It's better that you guys discuss it in the comments and the click bait effectively makes me click the comments so it all worked out; thanks all.

If you have a Chromebook and that's what you need sounds like the ticket! Glad you enjoy it.

When I was in highschool I could only afford a Chromebook and I chrooted mine, which meant putting Linux on it. I believe that's changed in years past though.

More people should start charging for their work and actually staffing security. I like zorin just for the fact that I have expectations for items I pay for where things that are free I can't really hold accountable.

I know that's antiFOSS but I'm somewhere in the middle lately. I want to pay for quality but still be able to tinker with it.

The amount of mental gymnastics to pretend that federated and central content models are somehow different content is insane.

The people that used reddit and twitter before lemmy and mastodon is like 1:1.

The change is in the freedom not in the users. There's less content even on our platforms. We need to find ways to make Lemmy and mastodon a better product experience than closed source central software to continue to see new faces. Right now Lemmy esp feels like it's mostly just nerds who understand the tech.

Some ideas I have are more like news bots and things that are harder to do with closed APIs.
