From what I’ve heard, openSUSE Tumbleweed is the most stable rolling release distribution around. It automatically checks packages, before releasing them. As for desktop environments, Xfce is a great one, if you add some addons (e.g., Whisker menu).

Sorry about being that guy, but it is “fortnight”, not Fortnite, in this case.

thatonecoderto Technology@lemmy.world•Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users LiveEnglish6·12 days agoYeah, but this is just the beginning. Identifying subtle typing patterns will be much more effective at getting your location. At this point, one of the only ways to fight back against that is to: 1: Write what you want to 2: Feed that into a local LLM, and tell it to use a ChatGPT-like writing style 3: Copy that text, and post it

They should either keep an OpenGL version, or force GPU companies (mainly Intel, with their iGPUs) to add full Vulkan support.
thatonecoderto Buy European@feddit.uk•Vivaldi Browser shows "Made with Love in Europe" when you start it for the first time4·13 days agoKeep in mind that this happens in many (specially “romance”) languages, because such gender is grammatical, not literal (unlike in English, where he and she are very much so). For example, in Portuguese (my native language), I can refer to a person as a “pessoa” (“feminine” word gender) — and I can use this to make a grammatically correct, gender-neutral sentence: Ela (essa pessoa) parece bastante simpática. (That person seems quite nice.)
It does not assume gender, as previously mentioned. Since English does not follow the same rules (he/him and she/her refer to actual gender), you can optionally avoid using they/them by using that person’s name (or pseudononym): “thatonecoder has some cool projects, although they (the projects) seem to have some flaws. That user seems to be nice, so I might point out some of those issues, in a respectful manner!” (yes, oddly specific example, but I am not very creative, and this gave some ways to refer to a specific person without either using they/them, he/him, or she/her.
Although this video isn’t made by me, it is particularly insightful, so I thought I’d share it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-R7UywbXU
Sorry about this essay, but I really wanted to point this out! If you do have any questions, feel free to ask them!

Yeah… I have tried LLMs, and they have horrible hallucinations. For instance, when I tried to “teach” one about Hit Selecting in Minecraft, I used an example of a player that uses it (EREEN), it kept corrupting it to EREEEN. Even when I clarified, it kept doing it, forever.
thatonecoderto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Survey shows Gmail users would gladly sacrifice features for more privacy3·14 days agoSadly, that is true for many email providers. I do use Tuta, because I use web apps only. However, a decent provider is Disroot. You do have to set up the encryption things by yourself, but IIRC, you can use any desktop/mobile/whatever client you want to.
thatonecoderto Buy European@feddit.uk•My journey towards more European, open source, privacy-oriented, and decentralized alternatives4·14 days agoGood job! Also, just to clarify, there is bitwarden.eu (yes, it is official). Furthermore, uBlock Origin makes Privacy Badger useless.
Yes, that was a poor choice of words on my part; I do apologize about that.
Just to let you know, GrapheneOS uses AOSP (the base Android system) and sandboxed Google Play Services, making it compatible with 90% of all Android applications. From what I’ve heard (don’t take my word for it), the apps that have the least compatibility / more breakage are banking ones.
You should check the Cloud to Butt extension. It is immature, but it can make you laugh

P.S.: I am from Portugal, he’s definitely not my President.
thatonecoderto politics @lemmy.world•Dems Hemorrhaged Support from All Demographics in 2024 — Including New Voters1·19 days agoYou do have a point, but what would be the alternative? I have considered direct democracy, but the ultra-wealthy may still use that to their advantage.
Revolt. It just needs a larger userbase.
