I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

Same here. “Theres a random folder on the USB now but where’s the software to put the ISO in there?”
Now, having used Linux for a some time, it makes sense why it’s just an empty folder. An ISO is just a file, like anything else.
Beeper + a python script could get this done
Oh I’m not trying to correct you I just have less than 0 social awareness and saw a word with a funny history so I shared my knowledge on it lol
Scuttlebutt in this case refers to gossip, which is also why the water fountains are called scuttlebutt - people would gossip around them
Anecdotally, the majority of people I’ve seen who self host are doing it to replace subscription services. This ranges anywhere from piracy to libre office. So, they’re not gonna pay you a subscription for something they can do themselves.
The audience is niche because you’re aiming at a subset of a subset of a subset of people. You’re looking to sell this to someone who:
The amount of people who self host anything is already abysmally low - just look at the social media user count. There are more than twice as many people on r/pathofexile (which is already pretty niche) as on r/selfhosted. Obviously reddit isn’t the end-all be-all of representation in that way, but you can definitely get an idea of trends from it.
I’ve never been to Italy, but my cousin grew up there for part of their childhood. They said “Italians invented pizza, America made it good”
Yeah, my partner has to explain to me what the difference is between two drinks at least once a month. I just know I like the sweet ones and hazelnut goes good with most of em
And they’re continuing to put out more and more apps and features without increasing prices or any of that bullshit. They grandfathered my Proton Prime plan or whatever it was called without any interruption of service when they got rid of the plan. Basically, they just do a lot of great things
Plus one to Proton. They recently moved to a not-for-profit model because they believe it will help them better protect their customers interests
I’ve been poking around Beeper for a while, but only some of their code is open source unfortunately. They have good ideas in their privacy statements, but I haven’t personally verified them.
That being said, the functionality is insane. Combining a lot of the major messaging apps into one is incredibly convenient
Mullvad is cool, but I really like Proton. Different strokes
His insurance won’t cover him in an accident
Are you sure he hasn’t taken the proper precautions of just getting commercial insurance and filing taxes 4x a year (assuming US based)? Like yeah, you shouldn’t just go get in your car and go to a bar and offer people rides for money but if this guy has regular customers I wouldn’t be surprised if he also knows how to look into his own rights
Using an AI as a regex checker is so smart and I’m mad it never occured to me that it was possible lol. I’ve just been pouring over random forum posts for it
I don’t think anyone necessarily depends on them - but the infrastructure for analyzing human behavior online is largely pioneered by meta and the likes. When the front ends like Facebook go away we’ll just start seeing “Powered by Meta” on targeted ads; I wouldn’t be surprised if people who see ads already do see that
I would agree if they weren’t such a prolific backbone for the tech industry. They’re not just gonna vanish when people stop using their apps because businesses will still pump cash into them
Shame meta won’t go with it
If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it
IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I’d go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn’t work in its first attempt
I swapped from uBlock to AdNauseum. It’s a fork of uBlock which also “clicks” some specific ads in order to cost companies money for running them lol
Pedantry
Mint required you to go and enable flatpak support, but it discusses that in the initial “setting up” GUI thing
