Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

It’s purely marketing and I wish it would stop getting repeated. BlueSky is centralized and a for-profit company.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

oh god dammit

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

Eh, not really. I don’t use google and I block trackers anyway.

I understand that running services costs money, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it’s worth the price?

They still need natural language processing to translate the LLM to something the device understands. LLMs just make the interface more human-ey.

For a long while I wondered what would happen when Apple (a company who prides itself on it’s products “just working”) inevitably collided with the generative AI hype train.

At first I thought they might stay away of the whole thing, but they didn’t and it’s been funny watching them struggle to integrate even the simplest aspects of generative AI into their products. Anyone who knows how LLMs work know that it is wholly different than the natural language processing that goes into Siri.

Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?

I’ve been impressed with F-Droid’s press releases. If they have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping this, they are certainly giving it a clear and concise effort.
