I have good experience with matrix-synapse 😄 together with the bridges for proprietary services, your matrix client could be the ultimate chat app

And some even support sync of group chats through puppeting (may not be TOS compliant on some services)

Would be a funny anime 🤔

It used to change it to look like macOS (top bar + Dock and balls for window decoration), but after setting up a new PC, I couldn’t be bothered to spend time theming only to have some icons missing or displayed weirdly

I just use default now and couldn’t be happier to not encounter any unpleasant surprises after updates

You sure?

They are targeting the next generation, the next generation will not know how to search the internet without an AI chatbot

We all know that most parents will just let the “Digital Natives” do their thing or/and that kids in a certain age definitely know better than their parents who fear this “technological leap” and don’t get it anyway

😁✌🏻

We save flok video in cloud but cops cams are dumb enough that they can be turned off and on and that they save only locally, WTF

Same in macOS, but it is just a save as PDF button in the print menu rather than a fake printer like in Windows

But lemmy indeed triggers addictive behaviours on me… But same does any news app….
Great way to flee from regional reality (Doing work, being social, talk to people, ho for a walk with the dog, do housekeeping, etc.)
Everything gets delayed when I am on here, but still, Iam writing this 🙃

The usenet is text based as well 🌚

(You can still get 4k movie files iut of it)

We have such sort of cameras in Europe as well. Some even use a Service provider from china; literally Surveillance as a Service.

Of course, hi-speed trains are way better than personal cars and airplanes 😄

I just wanted to point out that the “fastest trains in the world” trophy is not something achieved saintly, but because it had to be the “best”, a la make big numbers bigger.
The growth of value for the people is minimal, but the (energy) costs are immense.
With trains, punctuation is way more important than max speed 😇

For the housing thing

Ma Man!

They have entire cities with empty houses if I remember correctly, and the ultra high speed rail is immensely inefficient as air resistance is raising in square proportionally to speed

I think building houses that will never be used as similar bad as to less housing…

Old word for macOS had the best UI in my opinion, it was like Photoshop, where the functions where in a separate floating window on the side.

That makes totally sense, since word is normally used with paper being portraits oriented while screens a normally landscaped.
Gives much more screen estate and doesn’t reduce hight which is limited anyway.

Many apps either only sell on website or just make it 30% more expensive when paid via app
That is long the case

Buy those VPN shares, lol

Depends on user…

If a user is ok with using terminal to install apps and is reading outputs of commands, I recommend endeavourOS, because it is very nice having yay finding any apps you need (but nvidia driver setup has to be done in terminal and you have to check, that you have the right dependencies) Edit: TIL, if you choose NVIDIA proprietary in bootmanager of EndeavourOS iSO, you are ready to go

If user is not happy with rolling, debian would be next choice, but still not a set and forget, and apps have different ways to be installed and often you have to add sources to ATP)

If a user want it do just work and being modern, I would point them to fedora/bazzite (damn, don’t know how to write, but the gaming first distro that is very steamOSy)

And if a user does not at all want to anything on OS level and is therefore fine with using snaps, I would lead to Ubuntu most recent version (was positive amazed on how good it became as I had to setup one at work)

Edit: Bonus for people who dislike terminal but still want rolling updates: openSuse Tumbleweed, you can install anything by gui, and there is a website with apps similar to the AUR where you can search apps and install them using a single click Package manager is full GUI as well. It updates itself every time you turn off your PC, what I very much like

These days you can just go for wayland, anything that still requires x11 will just launch under xWayland being normal x11 session within your wayland session (like steam, for example)
