I’m being a little facetious to highlight that your “operating systems distributing Linux Kernel, therefore they are Linux distributions” comment is a bit silly.

Yes technically Android and ChromeOS are Linux, but that’s not really what people mean when they say Linux. It’s not the Linux kernel specifically that they want, it’s usually the freedom and openness.

Windows contains WSL. It’s distributing the Linux kernel which makes it a Linux distro, right?

Depends what you use it for. I see people use it for group chats, video calls, and forums, all of which would have different replacements.

Nothing screams quality like releasing to an arbitrary schedule rather than when the games are finished, eh?

While I think it is a recompile, you don’t need the original assets, it just works. I guess it’s abandonware and the original rights holders don’t care?

Ah but you see every youtube user granted full rights for google to do whatever they want with their videos by uploading them, it’s all totally legit of course!

Something I discovered recently is that you can connect an android phone to wifi, connect it to your computer, and enable “usb tethering” to pass the wifi connection to your computer as a wired connection. Maybe not practical for everyday use, but could still be useful!

Just tested this out, it’s ctrl+shift+r

You can do this on bash too if you add bind Space: magic-space to your bashrc/profile

Thanks, that does sound familiar. Maybe it was the gpg bit that confused me before.

Is there a simple guide to checking checksums? It doesn’t seem like it should be complex but half the time the distro’s instructions don’t work for me!

They both seem to cover that fortunately

Oh that’s cool

Not something I have any interest in using, so afraid I’ve never tried it

I tried it out recently but the gesture typing seemed way worse than heliboard

You didn’t fill in the survey when the password inspector sent you that email? Rude!

Can’t run the risk of being fingerprinted, privacy and anonymity first!

“After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or tone-of-voice cues that convey this information when we talk in person or on the phone.”

That’s the thing, for many Windows users it has been giving you a good time for years. Windows 10 was actually pretty nice to use when it came out; it’s life has been a classic death-by-a-thousand-cuts of becoming spyware, but the users are so used to it they aren’t aware that their delicious drug isn’t giving the same high and is now fucking them up.

Is “AI” just a meaningless buzzword? Like, is there actually anything in common between this hurricane tool, the LLM chatbots, and the image-generation stuff?
