Yeah, forcing any tech to use a service is terrible and short sided

Welp, that's enough internet for the week for me

Thanks Mickey

Agreed, but things act differently at scale and it's not like there's 10 billion+ hammers being used at the same time, almost all of the time, for years on end

Yeah I think blanket statements either way are misguided. Some tech does help the disabled, other tech makes their lives much more difficult. It's like any other tool, when it's used at scale by something aiming for optimizing profit it will have terrible side effects

You see, it actually did still save you time from finding a local shop that sells it and interacting with your neighbor

I like how the UI is backwards for the user, maybe if they make it hard to read it'll help them study?

Maybe not be sexist by comparing asses to blow up sex dolls? You don't make many friends by shitting on your friends to shit on your enemies, yeah?

Yeah co-ops are amazing, I'm always astounded when I find cities that don't have any

100%, perfect is the enemy of good. But it makes little logical sense to give any of these corporations any money or data

Right? And why not just boycott all pubkically traded companies forever? 40 days doesn't do much

Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people's connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don't doubt there's specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don't have any sources of this, but it wouldn't surprise me

Maybe I'm overly parandoid because ::gestures at everything::

Any tips that won't brick my machine would be great, thanks!

 

I like the steam deck, but I have many physical copies of PC games, any good way to install these? Ideally without internet access. Thanks!

 

Ideally offline and either Android or Linux. Just looking to see what's out there and I didn't see much yet besides some dictionary or DIY flashcard apps

Thanks!

 

Is it fairly easy? Seems useful for a public site like Lemmy and the fediverse

So a quick internet search returns this gem and I don't think it's related to Lemmy. Any place selling merch? Would be a nice way to spread the word and ideally if any profits go to the devs/instances that would be great

::edit:: damn how is this decisive? I thought you all were good consumeristic capitalists. I'll just build my own then

 

Ubuntu seems like it has the best compatibility, but any other suggestions for data wrangling, data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning in Julia, Python and R?

 

n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?

 

New to Linux, running Debian (if that matters), dot files are configuration files, yes? Do I need to explore each app/UI/program to figure out the possible options? Are there any universals in Linux? Across distros?

Thanks!

 

I am curious if anyone has advice on a good start to get into InfoSec. I just bought a car, used a separate phone number and somehow marketers found my actual number, so want to get a better handle on how to handle personal data.
