Here’s a wildcard people might not know about: Raspberry Pi Imager

I use it because it’s faster than Etcher and it also has a bunch of quick links to download popular images (mainly for RPI and other arm-based SBCs) in one click which is handy if you use those regularly.

I recently set up Fedora Kinoite on my dad’s laptop for him and he seems very happy with it. Kinoite is the atomic/immutable version with KDE Plasma by default. Once I’d set up a couple of things everything else he needs can be installed with flatpak (just make sure to set Flathub as the default and disable the Fedora flatpaks repo that ships broken packages all the time)

You joke, but this is a real problem in computing Obligatory link to Tom Scott video.

Matrix isn’t fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

… My vacuum actually does run Linux.

!It’s a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn’t need internet access!<

The average person has a 1tb+ drive and doesn’t care about a few hundred megabytes of bloat in a partition they will never look at. If someone is switching from Windows, every app having its dependencies self contained is mostly normal anyway (aside from the occasional system provided dll). The only people likely to care about removing old flatpak platforms are the kind of people who don’t mind running the command to remove them.

Except that’s not the issue. This clearly reeks of the passwords not being hashed

Since I started using Lemmy, I’ve wondered if a federated dating platform could ever work. Obviously you would have to solve the problem of low user numbers though…

I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

BBC News’ reporting on Starship launches always says things like “Elon Musk’s Rocket” and it makes me want to write a strongly worded email of complaint

If you’re walking towards someone on the street and you want to avoid the whole “I’m going left you’re going right” dance - DO NOT make eye contact with them and glance toward the way you intend to go. They will automatically go the other way and you won’t bump into anyone ever again

Damn, I was really looking forward to trying this out but my primary use for Google Maps is navigating public tansport (mainly finding bus and train times as well as routes for longer journies) but it says the data isn’t available in my region yet :(

Does this spoofing change with every page you visit? If so that’s really neat!

Damn, guess we all have to stop calling it peanut butter then 🙄

Why not use Waydroid?

Damn if a mobile browser based on Firefox with a UI as good as Zen existed I would switch to it in a heartbeat!

How is it all retconned? Yoda learning the technique was a clone wars episode which is still canon

I’m noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up

The emotion: mild amusement

The poachers have just been selectively breeding hyper intelligent apes this whole time

This is going to be bobby tables isn’t it?

Edit: It wasn’t?!
