I used the 2nd option to connect a macbook pro 17 2006 to my desktop; can’t let go of that stupid thing, no idea why. can’t remember having issues with the cursor displaying (also Plasma, Fedora desktop + arch 32-bit on laptop), but the lag was annoying and the fans wouldn’t stop hollering (Core 2 Duo and ATI X1600 struggling to keep up) so I tore it down. before that tried using an android tablet to same end but also gave up as it wasn’t useful for anything.

thank you for the translation; I understood like five words in the link. sadly, the entry barrier of expensive hardware is way too much to play with it, moral issues notwithstanding. bookmarked to revisit in a decade or so, inshallah.

this is an insanely professional-looking project, the (potential) vibed-ness notwithstanding. sadly, unless there’s some post describing what for and how claude & friends is used, not even thinking of touching that.

a year ago I could get the Poco F1 and Oneplus 6T at those prices. SDM845, 8 GB RAM, fast storage, widely available, fully postmarketOS and mobian supported, some Halium options (Ubuntu Touch) along with LineageOS et al. nowadays even faster ex-flagships can be had in the $50 region. that’s what you get when you wanna experiment and tinker, not 10x that to get the same feature set.

they’re latching on to the “go euro” trend, hoping this will send some wind in their sails. it won’t.

they need to fully opensource the thing and invest in supporting the tinkerers and the enthusiasts. what they got now with only some experia models and paying for licences and whatnot couldn’t be more of a deterrent. I can assure you, you’re not losing paying customers with giving the OS away, every tinkerer is gonna bring you at least 20 paying customers.

the only way you’re gonna sell those things is by having a wide and knowledgable user base that will work as your sales people. ubuntu has been at this for, what, three decades and is still lightyears away from being a household name. jolla’s gonna need fucking eons with this spiel.

when those early adopters iron out the bugs and port shit over, then the normies will come calling and then they’ll go how can I get this without the tinkering and flashing and touching someone’s used yucky phone, and then jolla can go here you go, give us bricks of cash.

the idea that we’re gonna shell out 10x the price of a postmarketOS-capable handset to beta-test the thing, I mean sure that’s possible; it’s just not very likely.

I’m commenting on your shitty takes. second, if you’ve spent decades (that’s plural yo) on this planet, then you’re familiar with the concept of a hyperbole. a hyperbole is a purposefully exaggerated statement in order to draw attention to the importance of an issue. e.g. I could eat a horse - no you couldn’t, you’re just mildly inconvenienced with what you think is hunger.

consequently, there’s a distinction to be made between actual calls to violence (of which I haven’t seen any on this platform) and vividly voicing disgust and anger.

aside from the glaringly obvious, i.e. you’re incinerating the planet for shits and giggles, the thing is unsustainable. the best guess (as they’re hiding actual info) is that they have a capex in the ballpark of $1K/day/user. you’re meanwhile giving them $20/mo, if at all - no math on this planet can make that sustainable.

vulture capital and greater-fool-theory can only intermittently hold the bag, but not indefinite - sora was just shut down for that reason.

first off, please announce that the video is from that brody clown so people can not click on that slop; needless to say, I ain’t watched it so I don’t know or care what points was made in it.

second, what OP is doing in OP and his bonehead comments is purposefully pushing a strawman argument, false dichotomy, red herring, and all the other logical fallacies in order to posture as a hero or whatever they got going on between their ears - if you’re anti this bullshit “law” then you are also pro physically harming poor FOSS “contributors”.

this fucking “contribution” shoulda been shot down like any other troll/bullshit plaguing every other FOSS project beset with ai bots and carma-farming typo-fixers and the like, and if by some mistake their “contribution” was accepted, here’s a chance to reverse it.

cali ain’t the world, which by and large ain’t got no such idiocy on the books. and if it did, I wouldn’t bootlick my way to submitting a patch to incorporate it; I would, in fact, oppose it any way I could.

that clown of a “contributor” has a history of simping for the backwardest ideas, antithetical to FOSS and I don’t care one bit what he has to say on any one topic.

where’s the “…or else” part?

what’s “linux”? which DE?

in general, using the “powersave” governer, available in Plasma and Gnome. the former can be activated automatically, the latter manually or with an extension. one of the largest consumers is the screen brightness, so you should focus on that.

also, undervolting helps if you have compatible and capable hardware.

very macOS-like, wish this would take over. am a convert from that side of the fence and tried a decade or so ago to reform linux by way of symlinks to something similar to this but gave up after a reinstall or two, too much hassle. just like CMD-C/V, relearned the new way.

to all y’all with the “it’s just a text field”: what if the field is “race”? “sexual orientation”? “jerks_off_to”? what the fuck has a system managing daemon got to do with any of that? and why would you preemptively put it in there without even a pretense of a fight?

fuck you make us! make linux illegal, in Cali of all places. guess how long that will last?

not to shit on you specifically but I see this over and over, folks asking how to be “secure”. secure against what?

if you’re into this, you need to set up a “threat model” i.e. what are your threat vectors and then you build your defenses against that model. a defense against blanket surveillance doesn’t handle targeted threats. a successful defense against your government doesn’t preclude other nation-state actors getting at you.

like, if your threat vector is e.g. your SO “inspecting” your phone, you set up a passcode and you’re safe against that threat. but, if there’s a toddler going around smashing stuff, your defense isn’t valid. defense against that vector is placing your phone high up. but that defense isn’t effective against SO.

I am sure any messenger recommended here can be successfully red-teamed, be it design flaws, operator error, the famous wrench comic, or whathaveyou. but that doesn’t mean it’s ineffective in your specific case.

you’re ignoring the important part - who that’s coming from.

analyzing a new shit-sandwich from the shit-sandwich-shop to determine “does this one have shit in it” is a valid academic endeavor, but hardly something you’d spend one second of your life pondering.

don’t need any such “proof”. the whole industry has lost any and all benefit-of-doubt privileges, for ever. they don’t get an opportunity to gain a foothold in mi casa and possibly be in a position to do harm.

I don’t get the idea that after all the shit they pulled someone’s like “well maybe this new thing’s nice”.

those are immoral people with zero compunctions about doing anything that hurts you, your community, and humanity as a whole. we are in an adversarial position and you’d do well to remind yourself of that constantly.

that was just a play so clueless speculators think that facebook is still a growth company, justifying their insane P/E. it don’t matter the money “burned” as long the derivatives are booming. they didn’t lose shit, this don’t touch them in the slightest.

even now, this isn’t pushed as defeat, it’s used as an opportunity to bolster their new play - ai.

yeah, e.g. fedora has by default a root and home subvolume. the caveat is, standard installers are either incapable of allowing you to install to a subvolume or are super-cumbersome, as that’s currently not a top UX priority, so, a manual install process (with e.g. debootstrap and the like) is often needed.

btrfs. aside from useful things like on-the-fly compression and deduping, the thing has subvolumes; think partitions as folders, so you don’t have to pre-size them. so e.g. your root (system) and home (user files and settings) are in separate subvolumes, which a) allows for easy backup/migrations and b) nothing stops you from installing a completely different OS (or several of those) in their respective subvolumes and then mount your home to each of those.

so you can have e.g. fedora and debian and arch, all on the same file system, using the same home, with all your shit available at all times and they don’t interfere with each other.

you can mitigate a whole lot with

WINEPREFIX=~/Games/TheGame winetricks sandbox

eliminates links to home et al and houses all files in the prefix. also in the dosdevices folder there are links to root, home, etc. mapped to windows drive letters which (with the exception of c:) you can safely delete; this can also be accomplished with winecfg GUI.

if you ain’t got opensnitch or an alternative running, you can prevent network access with firejailas a command prefix (the one where you put mangohud and gamemode etc in).
