I wish they’d bring back proper ui mods. Installing stuff like tabmixplus or paxmod is like jumping through hoops of fire.

I think VPN is the proper way to go about this, but another method is to do port knocking with fkwnop so your SSH port won’t respond until the host receives a magic packet.

Yeah, searx and no looking back here too. The only downside is it’s OotB experience isn’t the best, so you should spend a minute configuring it to add more engines than just google. Oh, that and the occasional outages, but they seem to be less common lately.

Teaching my friend’s kids about Linux and python, and watching a movie with them afterwards. Probably have a brewski or two.

It’s actually kinda nice that he’s not going full nose-dive straight into the ground. Getting a steady stream of users is better for Lemmy’s culture, than a full exodus event, imo. It gives us a chance to not be reddit, but something better.

The AI industry certainly does.

If you’re going to use an LLM, it’s pretty straightforward to roll your own with something like LM Studio, though.

I’d just be scared of windows trying to clobber my nix partition.

I really want to put Linux on my gaming PC, but I’m doubtful I can get my Rift S working on there. :/

Apparently there is an openxr driver for it, though, so I suppose I should at least give it a shot.

There’s absolutely no way I’m going to win11, though.

I don’t mind the whole online menu thing. It’s probably an environmental net positive, but it’s bs if they don’t have ANY physical copies for those who can’t or don’t want to for whatever reason.

If they wanted me to install something, though, that’d be a 100% instant nope.
