So these 3D printed things arent vegan?

RIP Ian Murdock.

Deb-Ian, Deb-Ian!

Please don’t blame the kernel devs.

Agreed… almost certainly not a kernel issue. Linus is famous for absolutely losing his shit if a kernel breaks userspace

Prompt: you are my horny waifu and we are sexting
Grok: send nudes

Kid: mom, i swear, i was asking about soccer!!!

i hate elon musk as much as the next guy, but i’ve used grok… sure it has all kinds of obvious biases, but it won’t just go off the rails unprompted

they have an obligation to reach as much of the populace as possible…

Then their responsibility is to broadcast important information over an open medium that doesnt require registration, and isnt owned and controlled by a foreign adversary

I have the same issues with my gov’t at all levels. So annoying.

Lol… people downvoting stanford university

Lemmy is a wild place… left wing maga, i guess

Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)

the number of times i say “nah i don’t need to see that” as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video…

The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.

That has ALWAYS been the case. I dont know why people are surprised now… ubuntu has alqays been backed by canonical. And it has always been based on the work of debian. What did people expect?

People have always been saying to just skip the corporate bullshit and go straight to the source… debian

Unfortunately there was a very loud group of people online shitting on debian, saying that it’s too difficult or user friendly or whatever… may have been true 10 years ago, but not anymore

Exactly…

The reason i run ad blocking at every level isnt to show that i’m too smart for marketing…

It’s because ads work on me… my brain rejects certain ads for sure, and it says “psssshhh, how can people be dumb enough to buy that shit???”… but that doesnt mean i’m too smart for advertising and that it doesnt affect my brain in subtle other ways.

I’m in the same boat as you

Also, most of these replacement suggestion in this article and many others, are not FOSS

No tabs in the app drawer… just all your apps on one page and have to scroll all the way down to find wikipedia, for example

Drawer tabs is really what i want

Cant find any modern launcher with tabs

None of these are a good replacement for nova.

I’ve been using android since 2007. Nova allowed me to stick with the old school UI paradigm of dock and app drawer… nova was so good, that i set up my homescreen in 2013 and basically never touched the settings again until i migrated a new phone…

All these new launchers break my 20 yr old workflow… i dont like the “everything is a search bar” thing

Or… live in a place or advocate for a place where spyware cars arent a necessity for simply existing…

When something is 100% required for life, someone WILL exploit it

The pagerank algorithm worked fine for many years in the 2000-2010s before google transitioned into a full time advertising company

All the prior cases from these chatGPT lawyers should be reviewed. What other shortcuts were they taking before? Did an innocent person end up in jail because of some prior negligence?

I’ve never had to manually delete kernels.

Apt autoremove automatically takes care of older kernels

Maybe try reinstalling your default stable kernel linux-image-amd64 (or whatever architecture)

Typically, no need to specify specific kernel versions like 6.12

I’m not giving up a small pleasure like butter just so that a billionaire can buy another private jet and wipe out whatever tiny carbon footprint savings comes from giving up butter

I dont know if you’re all 6’10" giants… But modern phones (including ALL fairphones) DO NOT FIT in my pants pockets…

Make Small Phones Great Again!!!
