@nprofile…ryua if it transpires it can be done to Ahmed it can be done to anyone. Horrifying.

@nprofile…e92q OnlyOffice can be a good off-ramp to wean someone off MS Office. Looks damn near the same, has reportedly actually slightly better file compatibility with MS docs than Libre Office (YMMV). Exists on Windows and Linux, so if it takes they could have their nice free (for personal use, it’s not FOSS I fear) Office suite on an exciting new Linux install down the road 😉

In 1994 Patrick R. Michaud conducted, and documented with photographic evidence, an experiment into the application of pop tarts as incendiary devices.
I love that the web page for this is still up ☺️☺️

@nprofile…05fn I remember being warned off Street Fighter 2 for the GB. I suspect that was sound advice. I ended up with a SNES a little later anyway ^_^
That said Mortal Kombat 4 on the GBC wasn’t entirely terrible.

@nprofile…zut6 @nprofile…pnmk For my admittedly meagre self-hosting needs (immich, paperless ngx, Plex / jellyfin, audiobookshelf used by me and one other person) I like dusting off 8-10 year old "high spec", for the time, laptops then chucking Mint on them and letting them fly ^_^

@nprofile…e92q I did add my pre-immich stuff. It's self-hosted so just made sure my existing archive drive was mounted for its Docker image and away it goes.
Immich does a great job of face recognition, processing metadata, and making that all easily searchable and easy to work with.
It took my laptop a few days for Immich to process a roughly 400gb existing archive, but once done it's been plain sailing.

@nprofile…e92q I’ve had a lot of success with a self-hosted (via docker) Immich installation.

@nprofile…e92q @nprofile…npc0 Installing on parents devices is genuinely high praise. I’ll pop it back on my list of options! My iPhone 13 has a few years in it yet, no plans to replace the hardware until I need to but if graphene remains I can see me picking up a compatible refurbed Pixel and giving it a spin ^_^

@nprofile…ml9f It’s shouting into the wind, I appreciate, but the simple rule should be that any *actual* journalist just shouldn’t use AI. At all. Ever. At least not for anything relating to an article.
I remember being at uni in 2000 and watching the journalism course student and dreading for the state of News once they were in charge. Now they are, and I was right to worry.

@nprofile…e92q @nprofile…npc0 A pixel 7 pro will be plenty powerful enough for general usage for a good few years yet. Graphene does look interesting to me but I’m at a point in life that I need a stable system. I don’t have the luxury of rolling an alternative ROM and spending the evening tinkering to resolve some oddball issue (as much as a genuinely used to enjoy doing so).
Would love to see a viable alternative shake up Google and Apple.

@nprofile…e92q @nprofile…npc0 as long as AOSP exists a lot of niche devices will be OK, even if they roll without formal Play Store support.
But it’s troubling nonetheless. I’m on iOS currently (no loyalty to it) but don’t like where it’s going. Not keen on where Android is going. But, realistically, I do “need” my banking app among other things and it’s a real gamble for how that works on degoogled forks or Linux alts via Waydroid.
Interesting times for sure.. 😔

@nprofile…wtal Batocera has been great when I’ve played with it in the past. It’s perhaps a tiny bit fiddly to get set up (a few nuances really need you to SSH in or get command line up) but a lot really just does work “out of the box”.

@nprofile…tlrx depends on what we mean by crash maybe. I’ve had Windows crash plenty of times, Linux less so (purely in my experience, not meaning to discount yours). I’ve found Linux recovers well after a crash too, generally a quick reboot and I’m back on the go. Rare though, mostly had crashes as it turned out my SSD was failing.

@nprofile…tlrx @nprofile…npc0 I’m guessing you have some particular use-case it’s falling over on, which sucks. For the average, especially non-technical, person a stable distro like Mint is a solid long term option.

@nprofile…d9d3 I would hate to have critical infrastructure outside of my direct control. I understand the business appeal, it’s compelling, but it’s also shortsighted & yields control of key parts of your business to someone with almost zero interest in if you succeed or fail.

@nprofile…t2zk just Started Bratislava on Apple Music in the car. Car speakers is ok, nothing to get excited about but good enough. Two tracks In and I can already hear what do you mean about the audio quality. I will listen to the whole thing and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it well enough but the standard does fall well short!

@nprofile…lwgl The issue is Palestine Action having been labelled a terrorist organisation so under that guise there would be arrests. They come off a little like XR - great energy, a cause with merit, but pissing off the wrong people along the way ending up making their endgame all the harder to achieve. It’s not their views that are the (officially given) issue, it was attacking Brize Norton which was dumb and played right into the UK gov’s hands >_<

@nprofile…t2zk I’m amazed Game are still functioning. They were making balls up after balls up when I worked there 20 odd years ago. Their trade *any* 4 games for any new game debacle was incredible, especially when we had pre-owned games people could by for a couple of quid then immediately trade them back in on this offer. Damn near bankrupted them 😆

I find it hard to get into vertical tabs but logically they make sense. Our computer screens went wide for movie and TV content, but we don't do that as much on them now so the horizontal space is less useful. Might as well use some of it for tabs to free up the vertical screen space!

@[email protected] @nprofile…h5sx That feels a little harsh. Subscription based apps aren't for me but surely we can all recognise that modern apps require constant maintenance to retain compatability with OS updates with their constantly shifting APIs (never mind new feature and retaining compatibility with services they connect with). That costs time and money. Selling an app for a couple of quid and relying on a constant stream of new customers is a challenge and I totally understand why apps go sub.
