Yeah, I know, I had to keep myself from writing something along those lines as part of my initial comment. Hopefully Mrs. E won’t see this, as she has a somewhat fiery temperament and is quick with the rolling pin…

Mrs. Erinaceus loves it, after fleeing Xwitter and being disappointed with Mastodon. However, in this Wired article/interview (which I read some time ago and might not remember all that well), Bluesky’s CEO comes across as being, well, a CEO. Judge for yourself: Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet.

I continue to have good luck with FreeTube, FWIW.

That’s why, when I have to email someplace to request account deletion, I write “Please delete my account and all the information associated with it.” Probably doesn’t make a difference, but worth a shot I guess.

Really out of my depth here, but anyway—

What model computer does your mom have? Does it by any chance have solid state drives that are RAID 0?

Have you tried Linux Mint? After really struggling with Fedora, I was able to get Mint up and running after a few minimal problems and haven’t looked back since.

Actually, full disclosure, I have to water down the coffee Mrs. Erinaceus makes, otherwise I’m risking heart palpitations and panic attacks, hence the need for a larger mug. Hmmm…I wonder if I could somehow learn to make the coffee myself… 🤔

If only they sold coffee mugs! Every time I look somewhere for swag, even if they do have coffee mugs, they’re just these diddly little 10 oz things–not big enough for this coffee achiever!

There’s also an IronFox community here on lemmy.ml, which I created and find myself moderating; would anyone be interested in taking it over?

The last time I checked, a Linux smartphone was in the works, but still had quite a ways yet to go . . .

One moment

So are you saying “even a broken clock is right twice a day” type of thing? One thing that comes to mind is scrapping the TPP, which would’ve sucked, but he got rid of it because it was an Obama thing, so he did the right thing but for the wrong reason.

I’m fairly confident that Trump will never get the NPP under any circumstances, but then again the world has gotten so batshit crazy that I’m waiting for aliens to land at this point.

Uh, Biden got us out of Afghanistan, didn’t he?

True, but I think the article is meant as more sort of like a “how can they (the GOP) be so stupid?” type of thing.

Thanks! 👍

BTW, are the Chinese way ahead of the US in this like they are with renewables and electric cars? They’ll probably figure out a way to have AI use significantly less power before “we” can.

Also been very happy with Filen.

We need this tool for every city in the US.

Is that still in development? The desktop client at least looks like it hasn’t been updated in quite some time.

Oops. Didn’t check the date; saw it on https://mastodon.social/explore/links.
