Last windows I used was Windows 7.

Google lists improvements that only users from the EU will get - gHacks Tech News (www.ghacks.net)

Google collects and shares data between its own services by default. Search, advertising, YouTube and several others exchange user data. Users in the EU have to give consent to this form of sharing. By default, data will no longer be exchanged between services. EU users may already manage the Google Services that may or may not...

It’s a shame Google doesn’t leave the EU completely. Don’t need their shit here.

I know… :)

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

Naah I think it’s super useful to know a bit about all popular distros. This makes you able to actually take part in conversations about what distro to pick for example.

I’ve ran them all at some point in my life, which makes me able to understand that it’s not just “different package manager” as some people say.

I don’t know which people you are listening to, but Debian does not have newer packages than arch. It has older packages than almost all other distros. You can see this on distrowatch for yourself also.

The idea of Debian is that old = stable, which I don’t agree with personally. As an example, users of Debian are reporting tons of KDE Plasma bugs that was already fixed, but because they are running an ancient version, they still have the bugs.

But it depends. It’s correct that new versions of plasma had new bugs, that was fixed in the coming weeks or months.

I guess a better way of describing Debian is that it has old bugs instead of new ones, since it stays on older versions.

I mean, people say that, but for me it wasn’t a problem, I just picked one when I got started. Didn’t feel like a major decision since you can just switch again if you are unhappy.

I hope 2024 is better than the trainwreck that was 2019 to 2023…

With Lemmy 0.19, users can choose to block threads on their own.

That way the instance owners doesn’t have to decide for everyone.

Usually not more then 30 before I close most of them with “Close all tabs to the right”.

I have browsing history so don’t need tabs.

Yeah the best manual I ever read was for en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunship_(video_game), it was amazing. A thick manual explaining so much about the military helicopter and how it worked. Was thrilling to read as a kid.

I don’t remember the graphics being so bad though…:) But it’s pretty shit by today’s standards.

Neovim is better in many ways, and because it has lua support, it’s so much easier to write plugins for it. So there are thousands of plugins right now, and entire neovim distributions that are configured to work like an IDE, like Lazyvim for example.

www.lazyvim.org

I’m a huge fan and I have written plugins myself since it’s easy and rewarding.

But on the server, I don’t bother installing neovim. Ordinary vim is fine for simple editing tasks. But if you want a customized experience to replace VS Code on your computer, you want neovim and not vim.

Sounds weird, I get 1080p on FreeTube app and that’s just a browser underneath.

The list is generally correct but these days, systemd has made quite an impact also. If a distribution uses systemd, it has one software to handle everything from booting (instead of grub), handling start and status of all system services etc. Its probably the largest change to the Linux ecosystem in a long time.

X11 and Wayland are desktop protocols, so things like desktop environments and window managers depends on one or them to be installed. Without them, you don’t get any graphics except for the console. It’s all built on top of one of those.

It’s a nice journey, and you can also start to look into proxmox for self hosting things. It really feels amazing to have your own little lab of stuff rather than using the public web for all services.

Sync is the absolute best app but I think privacy is probably not great.

But this is Lemmy so you don’t even need to use an email address if you don’t want. You can be semi anonymous and change username often if you want, and change between apps or instances also.

Data is never gone but it’s also not tied to anything real about you.

I lost interest in it after 10 minutes. Really boring plot and bad actors…

To be honest, I’m adopting this view more and more now that the world turns into a dystopian nightmare.

I don’t think kids being born now has a high chance of being happy with big tech running the world.
