Yeah, if you break your back to get it sorted they just assume they allocated enough resources and will do it again.

It’s super hard to let things fail sometimes but in some organizations it’s the only actual signal they can respond to.

Every child care center and baby sitter near me eventually had one or two of these.

I’m not sure I ever encountered one with the actual figures though. You were lucky if the canon ball was still with it.

K3S sorta makes sense in an enterprise environment but for the small one box use case it’s overkill and a pain to work with for little extra gain.

I mean look, dead or alive volleyball was a thing and it wasn’t like volleyball was topping the charts in sports.

Mint is Debian based but isn’t Debian.

Same with Ubuntu.

The reason people recommend mint is it’s easy to install and has a familiar DE.

I do? I don’t love Android TV but I only have so much time to fight to the good fight with shit.

I would like a less smart tv but I don’t want to by a 7 year old Nvidia Shield and suffered paralysis by analysis trying to decide on on an Android TV box.

So here we are, I use jellyfin on a smart TV

People on Lemmy will hate to hear this but the average user wants AI integrations.

That’s the main problem Firefox has. They are trying to appeal to a wide audience but their core users would never let them do anything that might do that. Then the core users sit there and wonder why Mozilla struggles and demand they work exclusively on the browser, an endeavor well known to not be profitable.

The average user doesn’t give a shit about privacy either as evidenced by the state of the current Internet.

I mean those video players lazy load so it probably just requested the next chunk and got the “you gotta pay response” same as if you returned to a specific spot with a link after a long time.

The real issue and what those AI dependent companies are banking on is that they can capture a user base and when OpenAI starts to reach the end of the road with LLM improvements and moves to the extract phase it can buy these little companies to ingest their user base.

Everyone else in that space will be instantly fucked since they will now be competing directly with openai while paying their margin but that’s the bet they are making.

Looks like a condo roof

There is a link to a live demo pretty close to the top.

Nah it’s just being replaced with phones.

Low tech users used to have cheap windows machines, now they have phones and tablets.

Really? I’m on a Linux desktop and I had not noticed. Though I steam from Netflix on it very very rarely.

I don’t know, sounds like someone who uses the wrong bathroom to me

The disagree is for soft walking things. They give you the choice so people feel like they have one and don’t complain, then in the future they will continue to ask everything anything changes and if you accidentally agree they will never ask you again.

The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.

That’s true and not true at the same time. The one advantage Windows has in this regard is that everyone is working on the same “distro” as it were. With Linux the various components can vary enough to be confusing. I think that is why it’s important to choose a distro with a sizeable community.

Something like Ubuntu, or an arch derivative like endeavouros are a good choice for that reason.

I would also warm against the copy paste of commands that you don’t know what you are doing with. The one nice thing is that in 2025 you can drop a command into your choice of LLM assistant and get a pretty good description of what it does without breaking out the man pages.

Can’t lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.

Why not?

At least at a casino you can get something of value. The games effectively reward you in company script.
