I want a blocklist of every community that allows AI slop and every user that has posted it.

Honestly, I like Bazzite because it's very controller and gaming friendly and you won't be disappointed with it. That said, for a daily driver workstation computer you might want to try Fedora Kinoite which is very similar but focused towards desktop use.

Also it doesn't hurt to try both as I said they're very similar! Would love to hear a follow up on your experience.

I've been trying out Bazzite with an Nvidia GPU and performance is slightly better but the overall experience is significantly improved over windows.

That's actually interesting because Google's MVNO is on T-Mobile and Google was pushing hard for RCS.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said "similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft" and I didn't read further.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the ~~Kaleido~~ Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.

Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!

I just checked and it's in the docs but I've never needed it...

I've suspected this was a thing for a while now but it's nice to see someone naming names. Many subs ban MAGA/hateful content, so a workaround they use is sharing it "innocently" by someone who's "confused as to what the controversy is". A big one is right wings memes being posted in /r/peterexplainsthejoke with the user feigning ignorance as to their meaning. OOTL is another.

HA. At least your account died for a good cause?

Oh interesting I read "atomic" and assumed it meant small. As in small updates to an immutable system.

 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.

 

I tried Kodi with Libelec but it's still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just "thinks" forever and I need to get up and unplug it.

I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don't have a release yet.

Are there any other options?

 
 
 

Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google's changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?

 

Not my OC I brazenly stole from @moregaghplease@startrek.website on reddit

 

Yes I know I'm behind everyone else!

First the away team spends a long time debating if they should proceed or... step outside for five seconds to call the ship. They ultimately decide that stepping outside for five seconds is not feasible.

But then literally one minute later Ensign Gamble is somehow beamed up. Presumably they must have called the ship to do this? Did they just... leave out the part about the (now obvious and real) danger? Was there a scene where Pike said "ok yeah his eyes are gone but you can keep going"?

Then later in the episode the away team spends a long time talking about trust and friendship while debating if they should walk on an invisible walkway instead of just like, I don't know, tapping it lightly with their toe or throwing a pebble on it first?

The Ensign Gamble B-plot was good and freaky and featured some great acting by everyone involved. But the A plot felt like it was vibe-scripted! I love SNW but come on.
