I used the 2nd option to connect a macbook pro 17 2006 to my desktop; can’t let go of that stupid thing, no idea why. can’t remember having issues with the cursor displaying (also Plasma, Fedora desktop + arch 32-bit on laptop), but the lag was annoying and the fans wouldn’t stop hollering (Core 2 Duo and ATI X1600 struggling to keep up) so I tore it down. before that tried using an android tablet to same end but also gave up as it wasn’t useful for anything.

thank you for the translation; I understood like five words in the link. sadly, the entry barrier of expensive hardware is way too much to play with it, moral issues notwithstanding. bookmarked to revisit in a decade or so, inshallah.

this is an insanely professional-looking project, the (potential) vibed-ness notwithstanding. sadly, unless there’s some post describing what for and how claude & friends is used, not even thinking of touching that.

I’m commenting on your shitty takes. second, if you’ve spent decades (that’s plural yo) on this planet, then you’re familiar with the concept of a hyperbole. a hyperbole is a purposefully exaggerated statement in order to draw attention to the importance of an issue. e.g. I could eat a horse - no you couldn’t, you’re just mildly inconvenienced with what you think is hunger.

consequently, there’s a distinction to be made between actual calls to violence (of which I haven’t seen any on this platform) and vividly voicing disgust and anger.

aside from the glaringly obvious, i.e. you’re incinerating the planet for shits and giggles, the thing is unsustainable. the best guess (as they’re hiding actual info) is that they have a capex in the ballpark of $1K/day/user. you’re meanwhile giving them $20/mo, if at all - no math on this planet can make that sustainable.

vulture capital and greater-fool-theory can only intermittently hold the bag, but not indefinite - sora was just shut down for that reason.

first off, please announce that the video is from that brody clown so people can not click on that slop; needless to say, I ain’t watched it so I don’t know or care what points was made in it.

second, what OP is doing in OP and his bonehead comments is purposefully pushing a strawman argument, false dichotomy, red herring, and all the other logical fallacies in order to posture as a hero or whatever they got going on between their ears - if you’re anti this bullshit “law” then you are also pro physically harming poor FOSS “contributors”.

this fucking “contribution” shoulda been shot down like any other troll/bullshit plaguing every other FOSS project beset with ai bots and carma-farming typo-fixers and the like, and if by some mistake their “contribution” was accepted, here’s a chance to reverse it.

cali ain’t the world, which by and large ain’t got no such idiocy on the books. and if it did, I wouldn’t bootlick my way to submitting a patch to incorporate it; I would, in fact, oppose it any way I could.

that clown of a “contributor” has a history of simping for the backwardest ideas, antithetical to FOSS and I don’t care one bit what he has to say on any one topic.

where’s the “…or else” part?

there’s so much shit to implement in linux, new shit to make, old shit to fix. preemptively adding this bullshit, without anyone even threatening any meaningful action, should be shot down in flames and this joker excluded from any and all FOSS avenues on account of spam and trolling.

I am sure the tali-fucking-ban are tali-fucking-banning women from using the computers by way of whatever passes for laws over there. is this bootlicker gonna implement “just a JSON field” to that end as well?

grow a spine, you corpo-fetishizing cowards. where’s the “fuck you, make me” attitude? what, california of all places is gonna ban linux? fucking lol.

what’s “linux”? which DE?

in general, using the “powersave” governer, available in Plasma and Gnome. the former can be activated automatically, the latter manually or with an extension. one of the largest consumers is the screen brightness, so you should focus on that.

also, undervolting helps if you have compatible and capable hardware.

very macOS-like, wish this would take over. am a convert from that side of the fence and tried a decade or so ago to reform linux by way of symlinks to something similar to this but gave up after a reinstall or two, too much hassle. just like CMD-C/V, relearned the new way.

to all y’all with the “it’s just a text field”: what if the field is “race”? “sexual orientation”? “jerks_off_to”? what the fuck has a system managing daemon got to do with any of that? and why would you preemptively put it in there without even a pretense of a fight?

fuck you make us! make linux illegal, in Cali of all places. guess how long that will last?

not to shit on you specifically but I see this over and over, folks asking how to be “secure”. secure against what?

if you’re into this, you need to set up a “threat model” i.e. what are your threat vectors and then you build your defenses against that model. a defense against blanket surveillance doesn’t handle targeted threats. a successful defense against your government doesn’t preclude other nation-state actors getting at you.

like, if your threat vector is e.g. your SO “inspecting” your phone, you set up a passcode and you’re safe against that threat. but, if there’s a toddler going around smashing stuff, your defense isn’t valid. defense against that vector is placing your phone high up. but that defense isn’t effective against SO.

I am sure any messenger recommended here can be successfully red-teamed, be it design flaws, operator error, the famous wrench comic, or whathaveyou. but that doesn’t mean it’s ineffective in your specific case.

I’ve used this exact thing in the past with stellar results, a Yoga (forgot model) with soldered RAM that couldn’t even boot continued to be useful for many more years.

as to reliability, if you already tolerate non-ECC RAM in your workstation, you’re fine; it’s astounding how present bit flips are in everyday use, even from supposedly non-defective hardware, so automated backups of the multi-version kind should be the first thing you set up on your workstation.

that was just a play so clueless speculators think that facebook is still a growth company, justifying their insane P/E. it don’t matter the money “burned” as long the derivatives are booming. they didn’t lose shit, this don’t touch them in the slightest.

even now, this isn’t pushed as defeat, it’s used as an opportunity to bolster their new play - ai.

you can mitigate a whole lot with

WINEPREFIX=~/Games/TheGame winetricks sandbox

eliminates links to home et al and houses all files in the prefix. also in the dosdevices folder there are links to root, home, etc. mapped to windows drive letters which (with the exception of c:) you can safely delete; this can also be accomplished with winecfg GUI.

if you ain’t got opensnitch or an alternative running, you can prevent network access with firejailas a command prefix (the one where you put mangohud and gamemode etc in).

it’s a $500 laptop

$600

Imma be the problemXY guy - how often do you need to interact with your bank that you need to carry that attack vector always on your person? you managed to live without that thing for a huge percentage of your life, maybe try limiting your exposure. if that works out, your options for a degoogled life rise dramatically.

get a used supported device that ain’t a pixel, if you haven’t already got one lying around and carry it in parallel - you still got all your shit on your main device and you have the luxury of offloading one by one use case onto the new device without downtime.

maybe you’ll make do with just bare lineageOS. maybe you’ll need the intermediate step - lineageOS with microG which implements a subset of play services.

hopefully, in the process you’ll throw out a buncha consumerism shit you don’t actually need. good luck.
