What? You live in a lower income country and doesn’t have a reliable internet connection and a high spec machine? Our board of directors have a personal message for you:

It would be awesome if we could map the increase in hardware demands on popular software by each new feature, design changes, and other minor changes added over time.

Another libreoffice user here. Published a couple of academic works edited entirely on it, and no one complained about formatting errors. Things have improved a lot in the last years. We also have onlyoffice as another great alternative

And uwuntu!

That means they support Hannah Montana Linux

Your dad is a great dadjoker!

At this point, it would be more productive to list companies NOT involved in pro-israel agendas, so we can migrate to them

It’s nice to see a good application of ai. I hope my low end stuff will be able to run it.

That reminds me of a distro I used (don’t remember which one) that automatically applied a Christmas theme on grub every December. It was really cute, with a tux wearing a red hat (pun not intended) and walking around.

Four years? Some rookie numbers you got there.

I believe telegram manages that with severe upload and download speed limits, but Telegram has always been a bit shady, hasn’t it? Who knows how they financially support all that.

Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.

I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead

Long time Gnome user here: I like the general Gnome simplicity of use and workflow and got used to it, but I’m really tired of having to install extensions for very basic things, and of it messing all my extensions on each version upgrade, so I have to reinstall everything. I started experimenting with KDE, and looking forward to cosmic.

It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that

I have given it a try a few times, to see if it makes sense to search on tiktok. I tried things like “[generic topic I’d like to know more about]”, “history of [topic]”, “[topic] lecture/course”, “how to replace screen of [phone model]”, “how to fix [device model]”, “how to make [recipe]”, [product] review, [software] tutorial, and a few others, both in english and in my mother language, and in all cases, the results were poor, barely related to my search or nonexistent.

It makes me wonder if: 1- people don’t actually search on tiktok as much as people make it look like 2 - there’s some different way to write the search terms that I’m unaware of, or perhaps, the results would be different if I was logged in 3 - people are simply getting poor results and that’s it 4 - my search interests differ too much from what people search on tiktok

This is one thing I would love to actually see some data about, because I have never seen people not using search engines, no matter the age, but I see a lot of people on the internet claiming that younger people don’t use search engines anymore.

There’s one active brand still making e-ink phones, both single and doubled screen. It’s HiSense. The devices look pretty nice.

There’s a brand called HiSense doing exactly that. Look for the A6L model.

Almost all of our GUI software was designed with high refresh rate screens in mind, so it can be clunky to use e-ink ones. If we had GUis based on section changing, instead of scrolling, it wouldn’t be a problem. On pcs, using the page up and down keys can be a workaround, but on phones, it’s complicated.
