So I looked them up with my Mastodon account to try to follow but quickly discovered that not all searches for ‘BBC’ lead to accounts related to the BBC…l.

It’s an utter embarrassment.
Thoughts and prayers were a bit much too ask for, clearly…
Tax slips don’t lie…
Not sure I follow (especially wrt poor kids?) - maybe I’m just missing the reference. I applaud using Linux on old stuff to breath life into it. But I suspect mass adoption would be harder than one might think. Easy to convince tech savvy folk to dive in and wrangle with it (for its numerous advantages and disadvantages), but the majority of folks won’t (they’d sooner move to Apple - with even more waste, proprietary bs, and cost).
Not saying this should be the case, merely that it is the case. (The more adoption, the better chance of better support from developers/HW manus, etc. There’s just a leap that seems very hard to make. Wish I knew how to bridge it, but the obstacles seem less of a technical thing than a social/psychological thing)
FWIW, I used it as a daily driver for many years. And that was back in the days when things weren’t as easy.
Unfortunately, to run the stuff I need to run, I’m pretty much stuck with Windows and WSL. (But with Linux on my old laptop.)
I’m probably not the audience that needs convincing, though.
Linux can breathe life into older laptops (if the HW is supported). It’s not for everyone (and downright infuriating in some ways) but it it does work very well for many things.
It’s worth noting that ‘oversee’ (‘oversight’) and ‘overlook’ should mean decidedly different things…
They are doing it to light up revenue streams.
She was just waving hello (with an 80% discount)…
I wasn’t even thinking about the performance/efficiency impact! That’s a good point. For me, I like me phone to do what I want it to do. I didn’t ask for AI. I don’t need it. I actually don’t even want it - I really don’t want my devices to ‘think’. What I want is fast, efficient, and predictable execution of what I tell it to do. (by predictable, I mean that I don’t want it to anticipate my needs or surprise me - I want a nice, responsive and dumb device with a great display, a good camera, good connectivity, and a good battery.
If it’s got AI, it means I can feel even better about saving some money and getting an S23 when I finally replace my current phone.
I was thinking this…
Pedro’s younger brother?
Great song. So many memories of so few recollections…
Well, a month or two ago, Canada formally accused India of being behind an actual assassination on Canadian soil.
Very nasty stuff. Troubling times.
Why doesn’t he just get his security clearance and help communicate truths, rather than exasperate things by giving voice to misinformation, or worse, disinformation…?
My wife and I use Our Groceries.
To be fair, Twitter is also undermining Twitter’s livelihood.
You may be onto something… /s
