Question: What is Linux misinformation? by thegreenguy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] thegreenguy@sopuli.xyz 33 points 2 months ago

Yes, but "Wayland is trash and will never be better than X" is also misinformation.

Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies. by thegreenguy in c/memes@lemmy.ml

I'm considering switching to LibreWolf after all the AI crap Mozilla is adding

Mozilla adds stupid AI stuff with horrible T&C by thegreenguy in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

AI shit alone, I never understood the urge to build a whole OS in the browser. I want my browser to view websites. If I want more, then I can install extensions. I'd rather them release this as some sort of "official" extension. Might switch to LibreWolf (do you have any other suggestions?)

Logitech CEO Wants to Sell You a Subscription-Based 'Forever Mouse' by thegreenguy in c/technology@lemmy.world

Weird, because I'm pretty sure all other mice can be used forever, as long as they don't break.

I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me? by thegreenguy in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

[-] thegreenguy@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago

It might not be 2-factor. Microsoft has an option to log in via email code, which doesn't need a password.

On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid? by thegreenguy in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Why are people so upset about the librarian changes? (sopuli.xyz)

I seriously don't get it. Why do people expect to be able to get the most powerful enchantment in the game with just a a villager, a lectern, a book and some emeralds? And it's not even that hard to get WITH the changes. Swamps aren't that rare (even if they were, IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL ENCHANTMENT IN THE GAME), and getting 2 villagers there shouldn't be too hard once you build a nether tunnel.

But what gets me the most is people saying this new approach is too grindy. How is exploring your world to find a swamp biome grindy? How is leveling up A SINGLE villager to Master (I think) grindy? Probably the one part of this to be even close to "grindy" is getting the villagers to a swamp, but it's not that hard. It should require some effort to get the best enchantment.

Yes, you'll need to ACTUALLY EXPLORE YOUR WORLD to get easy enchants. Yes you'll need to ACTUALLY TRADE WITH YOUR VILLAGERS to get easy enchants. This is actually ELIMINATING some RNG. You no longer have to spam Lecterns. You have to PUT THE FREAKING WORK IN and get the villager to Master level. But then it's GUARANTEED you get a Mending book.

Please tell me if I'm missing something that would make this whole rant pointless.

Police in England installed an AI camera system along a major road. It caught almost 300 drivers in its first 3 days. by thegreenguy in c/technology@lemmy.world

Why are people saying this is a hypersurveillance dystopian nightmare? Guys, you are still in public! The only difference between this and having police officers sitting there and looking is this is much cheaper and more efficient. The recordings are still being sent to a human being for review.

What is your honest opinion on EndeavourOS? by thegreenguy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] thegreenguy@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

Here's the thing with Arch-based distros: they aren't more stable than Arch, and Arch breaks. Fixing Arch is often possible, but requires Terminal skills. You mentioned you want Arch because of the AUR, why not try Distrobox? It's a tool for integrating containers (and their apps) with the "base" system. With a few commands, create an Arch container, then just use your favourite AUR wrapper (like yay or pacman) as you would on a regular Arch system and you may need to run `distrobox-export ' in the container. Your apps will just show up like any other apps.
