  • Why is the internet overflowing with rubbish ads – and what can we do about it?

    Jump

  • When I can’t block the ads, I always opt for the “non-personalized ads” option, since I know they are getting paid less. Also easier to ignore an ad when it is random.

  • Not everyone needs to have an opinion on AI

    Jump

  • I tried the bing chat (part of the work license), asked it some random questions, asked for more accurate information and pointed out the flawed answers it gave. It told me that I was being rude and ended the session. (smh)

  • Will there be 24.04 with gnome Cosmic ??

    Jump

  • I’ve been pondering something similar since I realized that Pop24 would be delayed. :) I want to see if a couple of minor items are fixed with 24.04, and can’t decide if waiting or reinstalling is more work.

  • Pop, Steam, Proton Question (Space Engineers)

    Jump

  • So far no joy. The Linux channel and posts haven’t been able to crack this nut. New version of Pop OS coming soon based on Ubuntu 24.04, will try again after the update. :)

  • When's the last time you asked a questions on StackOverflow?

    Jump

  • Some of my saltiness comes from the fact that I tried to answer questions a few times, but told I wasn't worthy enough to participate in the conversation, and so I was confused by the system. Also, I saw people answering with lots of points, but their answers were trash and I couldn't impact that response/point gathering, and just made me think it was just another gamified system, and engineers love to game a system. :)

  • This was my experience as well. They seemed to angle the system away from the casual user, which I didn’t have time to sit around and answer questions to get enough fake internet points to interact more.

  • Windows 11 is nagging users to try OneDrive to "fully backup" your PC

    Jump

  • Sorry, when I said "life critical", i mean things like email, banking, self-hosted NextCloud for files, etc. For me, everything else is flexible as I don't have business things that have to run on Windows (that is my work provided laptop), so I don't have to have the Adobe suite for photo editing, i can use one of several open source alternatives, and all of my hobbies have open source alternatives like Blender.

    The only game I cannot get to run is Space Engineers. Numerous other newer and older games work great. To be fair, I'm not an online/multiplayer gamer, so the challenges people run in to due to anti-cheating requirements don't affect the games I play.

    What was really interesting to me, is that I tried Windows 11 Pro and 6 or 7 different Linux distros over several months before landing on Pop!_OS. I mention this because it was all the exact same hardware and so I was able to compare performance in an Apples to Apples situation. There is an obvious application loading improvement. Even comparing against something like Garuda that is supposedly all about performance tweaks.

  • Windows 11 is nagging users to try OneDrive to "fully backup" your PC

    Jump

  • I switched to Pop!_OS earlier this year and couldn’t be happier. All apps run way faster than they did with Windows on the same hardware. All but one of my Steam games run great (one day I’ll get that last game to work). My “life critical” things are web based, everything else is adjustable.

  • Question: Does the build number always increment no matter the version or does the build number resets to 1 for every new version?

    Jump

  • That is 100% up to every team to decide. Version numbering is completely arbitrary.

  • (Hyperbole) I’m shocked! I have been informed for decades, usually at high levels of snootiness, that Macs don’t have viruses unlike those pathetic other operating systems…

  • Recently I was thinking about how I missed webrings for websites instead of reliance on search engines, many of which aren’t even directing you to the sites anymore just showing AI summaries.

    I would like to create a website that creates children's story books using AI.

    Jump

  • After the recent Google AI stuff, I’d expect an AI children’s book tool to teach children how to make mustard gas with cute cartoon characters. :P

  • How Elon Musk's Starlink Turned Remote Amazon Tribe Into Social Media And Pornography Addicts

    Jump

  • Was anyone else expecting an article talking about the subject? I was reading and then, "Oh they've set up an interesting topic to discuss... wait, other articles to read, where is this article?"

    Also, the internet access mechanism (starlink) is incidental to the subject matter, why mention it in the title?

    Also, what @paultimate14 said, "youth not respecting tradition"...

  • I have been ping ponging for almost two decades on the desktop. Currently on Pop!_OS (Ubuntu derivative) with a “safety blanket” dual boot with Windows. I went through a lot of these stages many times. So far, ~3 months on this has been the least frustrating Linux desktop experience. I’m still missing some of the power management controls and cloud file integration is kind of a joke, but an interesting time. For the many things that work well, the performance is so much better than Windows and all the other Linux distros I’ve tried on this same hardware.

  • I switched to Pop!_OS about 3 months ago and have been loving it! First Linux distribution that just worked for me, and every app works better than any other Linux or Windows 11 on the same hardware.
