To help make skittish people feel at ease with the concept, why not give it a friendly on-screen avatar? Perhaps something like a cute little animated paperclip.

The colour is a little unusual as well.

Well, if what you want is inexpensive, simple, and durable you might be looking for my favourite keyboard which apparently they’re still selling. I haven’t needed a new one in 15 years or so but it doesn’t look like they’ve changed the design at all.

Whether a “mechanical” keyboard is worth it just depends on your taste, but in my experience they do wear out much more quickly than this thing I’m typing on.

Your post calling for peoplpe to contribute something of value to the discussion contributes nothing of value to the discussion. This comment adds to the noise by pointing it out. Such is the way of Internet forums since time immemorial.

Pointing to android and chromeos as successful examples of immutable systems is a very effective way to convince some of us to avoid the immutable distros.

It’s not that easy being free Having to wonder if you picked the right instance When I think it could be nicer being Zucked or Musked or Spez’d - or something much more profitable like that.

It’s not easy being free. It seems you vibe with so many other federated things. And people tend to pass you over 'cause you’re not standing out like influencers in the feeds - or big brands in the web.

But free’s the color of fedi. And free can be cool and friendly-like. And free can be big like an ocean, or dank like a meme, or round like a blobcat.

When free is all there is to be It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why? Wonder, I am federated and it’ll do fine, it’s pretty good most of the time!

And I think it’s what I want to be.

Whittaker says that, for better or worse, a phone number remains a necessary requisite

Worse. It is for the worse. We sure did wait a long time for this half measure, Signal.

Debian: Good for people who don’t care about all these arguments and just want something that works. I’ve been using linux for 30 years and prefer xfce for a desktop.

Every once in a while I wonder what things are like back in the land of Microsoft. That this message doesn’t give the user even the slightest hint about what it wants to do more specifically than “improve your experience” tells me all I need to know.

I’m just glad I checked the comments here before wasting even one second watching the video.

I’ve met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.

They’re not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.

Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson […] ignored what the industry was doing, went back to their original ideas, and kept working on refining them. The result is the next step in the development of Unix

Plan 9 is clearly what the article is talking about. Odd that they don’t name it.

Whichever one you prefer (I’m on Pleroma’s side in this fight) ActivityPub is what’s here to stay.

For me it’s seemed more gradual over the past few years. I keep around a lightly sandboxed firefox install with a clean profile for the occasions where it’s worth going to that much trouble to see whatever cloudflare is blocking.

It also serves to remind me every now and then how much worse the default browser UI is compared to the one I’ve adjusted to my liking.

I will always sort by newest. It’s a habit learned elsewhere, but it seems to work here too.

They reported three posts! The scale of damage that must’ve been done to the vital ebb and flow of our corporate social media discourse is practically inconceivable, you might think.

But I’ve done even worse: I have reported more than five posts from spammers to fediverse admins who subsequently removed them. Tremble before the might of my awesome power of censorship, fedizens!

That is contradicted by the headline. This easy confusion between CUDA (the API) and CUDA (the proprietary software package that is one implementation of it) illustrates the problem with CUDA.

ZLUDA seems to be an effort to fix that problem, but I don’t know what it’s chances of success might be.

For reasons unknown to me, AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort

Presumably they did not want to see Cuda becoming the final de-facto standard that everyone uses. It nearly did at one point a couple of years ago, despite the lack of openness and lack of AMD hardware support.
