  • While i would generally agree I’ve fiddle with htpc and stuff for solo long. Then I broke down a few years ago and bought a cheap TV with GoogleTV (version 10 or something) on it. I removed some bloat via ADB but it still is GoogleTV do I get some ads on the home screen. However I installed SmartTube, Kodi, Jellyfin but also Netflix and Amazon Prime since those are the two services I still subscribed to. And I have to admit I’m a happy camper. I got used to ignoring the ads on the home screen and being able to directly play Netflix/YouTube … whatever without setting up a browser or something on top of Kodi or whatever is just such a breeze.



  • If you want him to wear a condom, he wears a condom. If he wants to wear a condom, he wears a condom. Its that easy.

    But specifically for hookups/people you font know that well its proper etiquette to always wear a condom unless discussed otherwise (if you’re both fine with it, and have discussed your health/have recently been tested)


  • Oh do I feel you. I’ve been into IT most of my life and using Linux for about 15 years now. Professional Sysadmin for ~10 years.

    I loathed crypto but AI is really the Band oft my existance. While everyone around me (not in technical fields) has been toying/working with ChatGPT and the like I’ve never actually touched an LLM (except for automatically through Gemini and the like) but it’s getting impossible to ignore.

    My hope is that the AI bubble will eventually burst and while LLMs as tools (like assistant for writing documents/mails etc.) will probably be here to stay the “Now with AI” buzzword bingo will hopefully end?

    As for keeping the Joy I am so lucky as to work in a Field where we still do most things manually and Provisioning Laptops or the Occasional server still is done free from any AI. For my own projects I also focus on what I need and can provide on my on infrastructure. I self host a Nextcloud and have a little Jellyfin Server which always are an opportunity for some improvements/maintenance which is after still a hobby of mine. But in the end they simply fulfill a function.






  • Been using GNOME since ~ 3.8/3.10 (so i guess a while now) and out of the box it mostly just works for me. I have maybe 3-4 extensions none of which I desperately rely on (although TopIcons is clutch) and I agree with most design choices. I’ve thought about switching some times but I think all I would do is try to replicate my GNOME workflow elswhere so why bother?



  • I would argue:

    2022 was the year of the Linux Handheld 2026 will be the year of the Linux Console (putting my hopes on SteamMachine)

    Now the year of the Linux Desktop is a finicky definition by tradition. To me its a personal distinction. Whenever Linux replaced* your previous desktop OS is YOUR year of the Linux Desktop.

    * replaced is also not discreet but more of when you felt you replaced your Desktop
