The actual article doesn’t quite align, he seems more horrified that the manufacturer is remotely disabling his device because he blocked the telemetry.

Given the skill of the guy, I’m guessing he’s not that surprised that the telemetry existed, since he went looking for it to start with. But I guess it made a better headline.

I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.

What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

Looks like it’s one of those sites that let you easily host an instance of various sites, one of which includes Lemmy.

I’m not sure who will be affected but if it’s anyone, probably mostly single user instances.

Haha it’s so long there’s a suggestion it needs to be broken into multiple pages:

Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…

I don’t think it’s anything you can’t change. By default, Ubuntu has some side bar dock thing. Vanilla Gnome has nothing except the minimal top bar. You open the application overview (press super) to access everything, the dock, all your windows, other desktops, search, etc. I have this as a hot (move mouse to top left) but use super a lot as well.

Other than that, it’s just fonts and icons and things. Some difference in default applications. But that side bar dock thing is the most obvious difference. Apparently Ubuntu has a bunch of Gnome extensions installed by default too.

Edit: There’s a comparison here: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/gnome-on-ubuntu.html.en

Ah I’m not that big of a fan of Ubuntu’s gnome, I prefer the vanilla one, though based on your preferences I don’t think it would change your preferences.

Just to clarify, are you using the Ubuntu Gnome desktop or the normal, vanilla Gnome?

I don’t like how GNOME has a permanent top bar

I don’t like how KDE (by default) has a permanent bottom bar twice as tall 😅

KDE Plasma has this emoji selector that’s kinda like Windows, you hit Super+. (Windows key and period) to open it, you can search for emojis and it copies them to your clipboard. Not as convenient as Windows, but I don’t think GNOME has anything similar to this so it’s a winner.

Gnomes search includes emojis, so just hit super and type ‘cat’ then it’s there in the search results 🐈

In KDE you can hit Super+v (Windows key and v) and it’ll open your clipboard history like in Windows. I don’t think GNOME has something like this.

Gnome has extensions, I highly recommend having a look through the options!

If I’m on my local network hosting my locally hosted services, I do.

I really wanted to like Bazzite but after a couple of months I couldn’t handle it. I really need the tinkering 😆.

I’m considering it for the kids though once we get a family PC, but I also really want things like being able to switch between Gnome and KDE and other stuff like that which makes the experience nicer.

I don’t have a spare external drive 😭. I tried installing on a flash drive and the game still crashed, but the whole thing was so slow I can’t be sure of the cause.

I tried to create a partition on my drive and install bazzite but apparently it doesn’t like that so I dunno 🤷. I guess I might try installing Mint on the partition and see how that goes.

Turns out it’s not fixed on KDE. It’s just that it randomly lets me play for 5 mins without crashing sometimes.

I’ve tried downgrading graphics drivers, rolling back to a previous kernel, no change 😭

Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.

I think the implication is that linux has far more bugs, so it’s not worth supporting it for such a small audience. That’s when more bug reports are bad.

This post is raising that only 3 of the 400 linux user bug reports were actually linux related, so it’s not that linux as a platform has far more bugs, but that linux users are much better at reporting bugs.

I worked out I can easily install Plasma and switch between DEs, so have done that. The game doesn’t crash on Plasma, so it seems to be GNOME related. Which is a shame because I love GNOME and am not a fan of KDE, but I guess I’ll have to use KDE for a while 😅

My favourite thing about Qobuz is they have a store where you pay money and they give you audio files, like in the old days. So you can pay for your music then keep it without an ongoing subscription.

Not that I disagree, but Wikipedia requires specific criteria for sources. I am not sure that a book about it being a logical fallacy meets that criteria any more than a book about parenting could be used to prove how to parent a child.

Are there other Wikipedia pages that claim things to be logical fallacies that could be used to see what the burden of proof is for this claim?
