Microsoft Launcher Beta gains Copilot functionality - GSMArena.com news
  • I tried this out and it's a good launcher once configured, but it's time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

  • Question: Jellyfin plugin repositories
  • Silly that the page doesn't actually say what it does or link to overseer. https://overseerr.dev/

  • Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore?
  • Both are bloated, but I'll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

  • A customized version of Canoo's electric delivery van for the USPS has been spotted in the wild
  • I believe this has easily swappable battery packs. That feature alone makes so much sense it could give them an edge.

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
  • Thanks to you, cinnamon toast cocktails are a thing I have just now learned about

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
  • Beef would be much more expensive if not for the huge subsidies, it's artificially cheap. Maybe we just stop doing that and see how it goes.

  • Should I avoid or engage in current news right now?
  • Consider that what we read online as news is becoming close to 50% generated or created by bots. Dipping in now and then, but mostly avoiding doesn't seem an unreasonable approach, and breaks the dopamine machine.

  • I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project
  • I installed mint on my second PC, and it's great. I feel like migrating my main, but I'm not sure it would go smoothly. I've had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.

  • First cargo ship passes through newly opened channel in Baltimore | AP News
  • Looks like a tug or two is in use...maybe that should be required from now on for areas where a screw up can take out major infrastructure?

  • What do you personally use AI for?
  • It's not AI, instead think of it as a search with data mined pattern matching behind a chatbot. Marketing types are so stupidly fixated they can't figure out that over hyping something can cause disappointment and enough skepticism to kill any desire to use a product. It's a lot easier to see the usefulness of something without that kind of noise.

  • Beware the "Cached Apps Freezer". It's the new Doze and may be delaying your notifications.
  • Annoy and Stay Resident...like a lot of apps that can't be removed, where data can't be deleted, and the the app only disabled.

  • Americans’ New TV Habit: Subscribe. Watch. Cancel. Repeat.
  • If it's not direct playing, it could be that transcoding is too much for the Pi4.

  • Some young people see Trump as an answer to their economic woes
  • Click bait, designed to rage engage, don't fall for it

  • What's the best concert or live performance you've ever attended, and what made it unforgettable?"
  • Queen, news of the world tour, opening with "we will rock you". Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.

  • Fallout Show, so bad that no one will remember it in 3 months
  • I played the games. I think the show's sets and designs are good, but I can't get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.

  • Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps
  • It's because out of the box there's often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it's been fine ever since then.

  • Fuck ads at the gas pump
  • Not only are they stupidly repetitive, they are loud. They do make me look for other stations. I've found I can mess with them sometimes using the home button, it can pause the marketing BS for a good minute.

  • Deleted
    Switched to Linux and I think I'm going back to Windows.
  • Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It's been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it's all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining "feature" update, I really doubt I'll keep it around for my next upgrade.
    So I'm just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

    A minor thing impacting usability

    If I'm on page 14 for instance of "new" and go to "hot", I'm now on page 14 there. I think that the first page would be expected by most people?
