at work Excel has tables and I really miss those.

I don’t understand, LibreOffice Calc has tables aswell. Or which kind of tables do you mean?

Password reset, and your mail account used for that is secured by a passkey 😬

Please send a blood sample to Google Gemini to confirm your identity.

You can censor all data you haven’t already given them. In the EU it’s actually required to accept this.

Maybe ask him for a cup of tea and hear him out?

It’s not the projectile that kills you, it’s the impact.

Let’s see if the Kernel is abandoned in a few months, seems likely

Art. Always have to second guess everything because it might be clanker generated.

rawr, bet you had some good oathgasms

Oathmeal, Oathmilk, Oath müsli… Yep

Do we have to have the corporate bootlicking prevention speech again?

You can use a raw disk in VirtualBox. Just make sure you install an initrd and kernel which has drivers for all of your hardware. If you let something autodetect hardware, it will detect the virtual hardware, not the real one.

OK, but it works and it’s cheap.

And you can use it with FOSS.

Thank you for the recommendation!

You can order 3D prints online, check a local supplier for less environmental impact.

Or you can buy a Bambu Labs A1 mini, cheapest and easiest printer IMO.

Leave my mother out of this, then I’ll let yours leave my cellar! 😋

Sure, they’re quite repairable. If it’s used I’d certainly test it extensively as the previous owner could’ve overclocked it or could’ve done other things to “mod” it in a negative way.

There’s also other handhelds which have similar features. The Asus ROG Ally comes to mind.

Yeah but why is it profitable? Their only customer base are other evil people. And in my experience, only a small percentage of people are evil. Yet they control so much.

I like to play cheap games (compared to other consoles) and it works well. I have more than 750 games on Steam. Nearly all of them are proprietary software anyway. It’s okay, as they’ll work for years to come. More than what I could expect from Windows.

Which bloat and spyware are you talking about?

The “former Microsoft employees” have worked at Microsoft when they were still known for decent software, albeit bad business practices. which is why they left.

Steam Deck is repairable, uses FOSS components, contributes back to Linux due to some Valve devs submitting patches upstream…

It’s just a company selling their proprietary blend of Linux on their hardware. Bootloader is unlocked. Why should I have an issue with that? The hardware is mine, when they decide to make SteamOS shit I can just install Bazzite.

Please realise Open Source doesn’t mean it needs to come from people. Linux is made by lots and lots of corporations, and that is a good thing. Valve won’t take over KDE or Wayland or whatever components they sell, because there is no need to.

Literally evil. How the fuck did we as a society arrive at people like this being successful?!

local LLM I use walk me through the solution as an effective learning tool.

Which model do you use for that exactly?
