It said it was going to explain why enshittification wouldn’t happen to them, but didn’t.

Letting perfection be the enemy of the good is why we can’t have nice things.

I mean…not that curious. It’s his entire livelihood at the moment.

To discuss the video in a comments section associated with it.

I agree it is that way currently, unfortunately, but it’s definitely a recent phenomenon (last 10y).

He switched to linux a while back. Now he’s trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

I see you didn’t make it 40s into the video.

Are you giving random strangers legal permission to pentest you? That’s bold.

Dual boot? Keep like 200GB for windows, and the rest mint. If you need windows for something, boot over. But otherwise, I legit feel more worried when windows has access to my data.

If it’s not obfuscating your IP address, then you’re open to getting targeted by anyone you interact with on a reddit-like platform. That sounds like a circle of hell I’d rather not visit.

Yeah, my last statement was more of a tangent. Just something I wonder in general. Because you know it’s gotta be a thing.

Yeah, it’s normal for people to engage with the latest posts. But also, as far as the news cycle for AI goes, there have been like 10 developments since Feb that completely change the climate that the article was posted in. I think that’s my main issue; people are making speculations about what this means, when we’re already 4 months in the future (which feels like a decade).

It’s also from Feb.

I’ve been noticing a few articles lately that were several months old, yet commenters don’t seem to notice or care. I do often wonder what percentage of Lemmy is dead internet bots circle jerking about how bad AI is.

Cooperating with the law is often percieved as an act of defiance with this administration, though.

Side note: If part of your prep for an OS wipe involves making copies of critical information, I recommend re-evaluating your backup strategy. You should be able to lose any device at any time without warning, and not lose any data.

iirc it was using Method 3 on this guide (but my efi path looks different).

Edit: oh, I also definitely used bcdedit /copy to clone the windows entry, and then edited the clone.

Unfortunately, the windows bootloader issues are also ingrained in UEFI for many motherboards. Every few days I start my PC up and it has decided my grub entry is garbage and does me the favor of removing it and defaulting back to the windows bootloader.

I’ve worked around this by adding a bootcfg entry to the windows bootloader that points at grub. Now any time this happens, I pick the grub entry from the windows bootloader, my PC reboots, and now it’ll keep defaulting to grub again until the next time it decides to wipe it.

I’m responding to the literal words you said that were inaccurate. Cheers.

It is not standard workflow in git to change the commit history for a branch on the remote. You have to use --force, and the next time someone pulls they also have to --force their any local tracking branch to follow the remote. Every git guide on the internet warns against pushing a rebase for this reason.

Locally you can do whatever. I’m not familiar with Mercurial, but I assume it must work the same as git: I can do whatever I want locally, and only what I push matters. And when I’m doing stupid stuff locally as I organize my changes, rebase is handy.

Afaik this is basically what the NSA’s Prism is.

Surprised no one has mentioned OBS. I don’t use it for streaming, but afaik it’s one of the more popular options for that. So it’s really cool that not only is it available for linux, but it’s open source and works great. I’m sure every linux user has had audio, general hardware, or GPU acceleration issues at some point, but OBS is seamless in my experience. Pretty cool to see a piece of software live at the crossroads of all that and get it right.
