In 2025 Fedora Silverblue has better plug and play than OSX....

I'm upgrading my builds and I decided to get a new monitor so I splurged on the Samsung G9 49" Curved OLED.

My personal and work ARM MBP's require significant tweaking to get the G9 working with a good DPI and font rendering.

I finally booted up my desktop tonight and it just works. I literally didn't have to touch anything.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.

  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.

  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.

  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation.

@k8ie I think it really depends on which OS you want to run, and what the time frame is.
If the PinePhone works for you, I don't think there's any much need to worry. I was actually almost positively surprised during my experiments that led to the blog post: Mobian Trixie (which ships GTK 4.18) worked surprisingly well overall from SD card, and the Alpine 3.21 container is nice and small and keeps a working Megapixels around.

@k8ie For current options, it's not too easy:
- FuriLabs FLX1 reportedly is a good experience, but no mainline,
- RK3588s options (Liberux Nexx, dawndrums Divine D) seem multiple months away,
- FairPhone 5 lacks audio support on mainline (USB-C dongle works though),
- Shiftphone 8 (same SoC as Fairphone 5, but 12 GB RAM is supposedly shipping in August) and how well support will pan out is unknown.
OnePlus 6, Poco F1, Pixel 3a are affordable, but also aging (with hard(er) to replace batteries).

The leftist press and their loyal dingbats are going to slam Qatar over and over.

Then Trump and the Emir will announce normalisation with Israel.

Then the same will happen with Syria.

Then the biggie behind them all, Iran.

And the press will be left behind the peacemakers, still bitching about the 747!

There’s my prediction for the day.

@TXPatriot2021 if every station showed the talks/interviews of the foreign dignitaries they wouldn’t be so surprised. The honors that have been shown POTUS have been awesome. Everyone has smiles and eager to talk to him and shake hands. I know ya’ll don’t like FOX and I talk them with a handful of salt, but they have been broadcasting most of the stuff going on.

Linux: How to use energy better in general by fine-tuning laptop battery?

Hello,

I just found out about TLP - a module to download with apt, which is a good utility for maintaining the laptop battery.
You can set a minimum charge value, and a maximum charge value.
But it is not sufficient for my use case.
My question is - is there any utility I can use to discharge the battery WHILE connected to AC?

The reason behind this is:
I want to use the solar power during the day to charge up the battery to 80 or 90% and then discharge the battery in the evening to 15-20%. Afterwards use AC power again.
The solar energy during mid-day is cheaper and available in abundance.

On a big level with many computers this could make a good impact on the energy network, or am I wrong?

Somebody is going to #hack these #AI companies so bad.

They absolutely are not even thinking about #InformationSecurity or #CyberSecurity. At. All. No startup does. Hell, even cyber security startups rarely think about their own cyber security. And when it happens it's going to be a shit-show like none we've ever seen or imagined.

Imagine your entire Company's IP is now tied up in processes that not only do you not fully control but that you don't fully understand either.

And something similar to the Great Irish Potato Famine comes along and wipes everything out.

Heh.

Yeah. Good luck.

It's not a matter of if something like that will happen, but when, and at the rate some of these Companies are going, when might get here sooner rather than later.

The problem with stupidity is that it doesn’t have a natural opposite.

What I mean by that is that lies are exposed and destroyed by truth.

Ignorance is erased by knowledge.

Foolishness is curbed by wisdom.

But stupidity remains undisturbed by reason, wisdom, argument or new information. The act of stupidity requires shutting off all inputs that could otherwise intrude upon the stupid idea.

When you fight against stupidity, all you do is make the mess worse, and get it on yourself.

Le ministère israélien a déclaré avoir attaqué l'installation dans le cadre de la lutte contre les terroristes, mais n'a pas précisé dans quelle mesure l'attaque contre les infrastructures civiles était justifiée.
L'hôpital européen de Gaza est un hôpital public palestinien fondé par l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour le Proche-Orient ( #UNRWA) en 1989 avec une subvention de l'UE. L’hôpital fournit depuis longtemps des soins médicaux aux réfugiés palestiniens et aux habitants de la région souffrant de la guerre et du blocus.

My 17yr old was ranting last night about teachers encouraging the use of AI and how stupid it was.

They had done a quiz about a film, and the quiz had been ai generated. They spent most of the lesson pointing out all of the mistakes in the quiz and the woefully incorrect answers.

It became an impromptu lesson on why you *shouldn't* use AI.

"I hate everything about it" she finally said.

So the great thing about Fedi is that you can edit your posts as new information comes in. No need to write a separate update post, and it spreads just as well as the original. Updating the post to remove factually incorrect information also helps to boost the credibility behind the message that changing passwords is still a good practice.
Anyway, that's a long-winded way of saying I think you should update the post, but fully support pushing people to update passwords. ^^

Daniel De Leon: Make no mistake: The organization of the working class must be both economic and political. The capitalist is organized upon both lines. You must attack him on both. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
