  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

  • Some people might think you are joking, but it's actually true

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

  • It's the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.

    ... and you understand it more when you build something by yourself, so it's easier for you to fix it when it's broken.

  • What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?

    Jump

  • Stack Exchange. I know, controversial, as people complain about rules being there too strict and community not being too welcoming nowadays, but still a real goldmine of knowledge. All of that with no ads, no spam, no dark patterns.

    Have you ever traveled outside of America? (Not to Canada or Mexico)

    Jump

  • Even if you go to Europe (where I live), you will still listen to American music, read news about America everywhere, eat American crap food, use American Internet services, watch American TV shows. It is not easy to leave America :D

  • OrganicMaps asks if users care they're on GH.

    Jump

  • If something works, don't change it. And GitHub, not being ideal, works pretty well.

  • Signal introduces Remote backups

    Jump

  • IMO one of the most important features

  • Linux phones are more important now than ever

    Jump

  • The main problem is that mobile OS is simply not useful without banking or government apps and they won't ever appear on FOSS systems because giving control to user is exactly the opposite of what's in their interest.

  • Google avoids break-up but must share data with rivals

    Jump

  • ... and must share search data with rivals.

    What does it mean exactly?

    Is there something like automatic moderation on Fediverse? How does it work?

  • Mastodon 4.4

    Jump

  • Finally, list of followed hashtags are more visible. I endorsed it, since I think it has a potential to bring more attention to tags, thus making them more useful

  • Alpaca flatpack app

    Jump

  • ofc I could even send raw api requests, but sometimes it's good to have a nice GUI that "just works".

    Specifically I'm looking for something that could handle not only text responses, but also attachments, speech recognition and MCP support.

  • Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?

  • The ~first~ Lemmy-as-a-blog instance

    Jump

  • Using Lemmy as a blog is an interesting idea, because it allows to distribute your posts to other users timelines easily, but does it do well in terms of cost of self hosting? How much more computational work does enabling federation require?

  • Helping choosing the right linux

    Jump

  • For start definitely Linux Mint. It is stable, has strong support, works out of the box.

  • Fortnite now lets you chat with Darth Vader using generative AI speech [Eurogamer]

    Jump

  • Honestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested

  • I am in Germany and want to know what practices to use when pirating.

    Jump

  • I have also heard uploading (seeding) is where you really get in trouble

    Which is interesting since modern web standards make it possible to exchange data peer to peer in browser. Isn't PeerTube working this way? So you might not even know you are sharing. How does it work in such situation?

  • Thanks, that might be helpful. Is this bug related to VirtualBox installation or Raspberry Pi?

    Have you reported this bug somewhere? It might be a good idea to let nixos team know this problem occurs
