That's the reason I log into Facebook like once every week or two.
I like to make sure someone didn't die, and I miss the funeral.
I prefer chaos. I have it place windows in a randomly generated location, and set at a random window size (if the app allows it). 😈
I had similar problems because my time was out of sync. I turn off all tracking, so it disabled automatic tume syncing.
Flatpak is actually a really good solution. Snap is garbage though.
I do a combination of Flatpak for niche 3rd party applications and apt on Debian for standard stuff that everyone wants/needs.
I follow KDE and Gnome.
#1 was true more in the late 90s to early 00s. The operating system has matured quite a bit since then.
I love Debian, but I hear a lot of people suggesting Linux Mint for new users. If you're afraid of committing to a change, grab a cheap used system to try it out. Just know that if you have better hardware, itbwill really shine.
Yeah, I worry about that with all the LLM slop.
He's a schnoodle. Schnauser/poodle mix.
It's really nice to not have to clean up dog hair. 😂
Yeah, that's my line of thought.
Oh he cleans the floor. 😂
Once you go far enough left, you get your guns back...
This one is a rescue. He was used as a stud at a puppy mill, then dumped when they were finished breeding him.
The 2nd was meant to ensure the 1st was respected.
He's definitely a little mooch. 😂
No laws? Sir/ma'am, we have the 2nd amendment. I can't think of any law higher.
Oddly enough, the dog won't touch chew toys. The rodent will tear them up though.
I choose my town co-op that doesn't sell my info, and doesn't care that I torrent. 🙂
Meanwhile, Google slurps up all your data to send you better ads.

I dropped a piece of ham while making dinner. The 5 second rule doesn't apply when you have a 2 second dog.

Maybe I phrased it wrong?

Open source licenses came about because of copyrights. If people didn't try to hoard information, the GPL never would have been needed in the first place.

Jack Dorsey wants to get rid of copyright laws
I know he wants to use all the data to train LLMs, but do you think this would positively affect the average person, or would the laws still target the little guys?

Cars are scary
I went war-driving on a whim today. You wouldn't believe how much personal information your car leaks out. I saw names like "Drew's Chevy" and Oscar's Audi S5".
I locked my car down as much as possible when I got it.

Distro suggestions
I’m looking for a distro that will be able to get the most out of my graphics on an MSI Katana laptop.
Right now I have Debian Bookworm running the Nvidia binary driver, and the graphics lags a bit compared to when this laptop had Windows 11 on it.
I’m playing Final Fantasy XIV, and doing web browsing on it.
I’d like to stay with something Debian based and running Gnome. Ubuntu is not ideal because I have trust issues with Canonical since the Amazon ad debacle back in the late 00s.
Can y’all give suggestions for a distribution that might work better, or some tweaks that might optimize the performance on Debian?
Should I just wait for Trixie and see if that give better performance?
I’m just spitballing for ideas here. Thanks in advance for any advice.
