I trust him less than I trust Temu ads.

This is true, but they’re also not wrong that fully-modular USB-C ports is an absolutely huge win. It’s one of the biggest things when it comes to laptops these days.

It was always about the money.

I feel like any kind of extremism is bad, I mean, it’s in the name unfortunately. Religious extremism is obviously no exception to that.

One of the best written comments I’ve seen about this. LLMs are cool for what they can do, but anyone comparing them to AGI is just shilling and trying to make a fortune off of selling pickaxes in a gold rush.

I won? Of course I did, I don’t use Windows anymore, I’ve been using Linux for years now.

That’s a surprisingly large increase, wow. I switched back in 2017 and I’ve been using it ever since, but that’s good to see other people are making the switch too.

My question is how does someone even know the number of accounts they have lmao

Like, over the past 2+ decades I’ve been using the Internet, I can’t even give an estimate of how many accounts I have.

I’d always get paranoid that they’d revert the changing your details like reddit did when they undeleted mass-deleted comments before.

For me, the opposite was true. Ever since I injured my knees last year, putting a 75 inch TV in my bedroom has improved my quality of life.

I know people will probably say “oh just fix your knees” and think that sentiment is helping, but I tend to not take my medical advice from technology communities and instead listen to doctors. It makes me sound rude, but it’s true that medical advice should be given by medical professionals for the best outcome possible.

I really do love having a nice big TV in my bedroom.

People will still use it all the same though lol

People are creatures of habit, whereas fortune favors the bold.

I also went from Nova Launcher to Lawnchair and it’s been great. I’ll check out Dragon some time but I’m glad I found a suitable replacement for Nova.

That’s exactly what they’re aiming for.

Yeah, I think that’s the entire point of having a new version lol

I agree with most of what you’re saying, I disagree with the last part of what you’re saying.

The self-host movement is about taking control away from companies, and running web services locally instead of having to rely on companies for them and pay for them. Most things you can run locally without needing a server, but there are absolutely good use cases for server-based services. Some great examples of this are cloud storage, code repositories, and chat servers. You could run each of those things locally, but they are each improved by running them on a dedicated server designed for 24/7 uptime and centralized access.

It’s not just media that doesn’t feed recommendation algorithms - I actually like recommendation algorithms (Jellyseerr does a pretty great job with this), it’s more about having control over my media and it not being taken away randomly. So many times an older show I would want to watch would no longer be “available” so I’d have to download it anyway, with no option of paying to watch for it.

Because billionaires like to stick together because they think that they’re better than all of us combined.

If I had to guess, it would probably be because what they said was the equivalent of “fuck every country, fuck everyone”.

If I said that, for example, I’d probably be downvoted too.

Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.

The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.
