Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn’t have it honestly

Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.

To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.

OK great thanks for the reply and yes it was a color one. I don’t really need color but it still scared me. My Oasis is almost 10 years old now I assumed the tech would have improved dramatically.

Looking at the Boox Go 7 now I think as it’s the most similar to the Oasis without being Amazon

Bazzite 100%. It’s the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).

I’m not really looking for specs I’m looking to visually compare.

deltachat will leak metadata everywhere

Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

While I wouldn’t say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

Same. It seems almost too good to be true.

Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I’d use it but only in rare circumstances.

Every platform is going to have someone trying to exploit it.

Reddit turned to shit because the people who own it allowed it to.

What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I’ve encountered is the “long click to preview link” and it’s… not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.

I upvoted you, but I do feel it’s only a matter of time before the open source community outpaces Apple as well. Just a few short years ago the “year of the Linux desktop” was a joke. Now for many, Linux is unquestionably the better option.

Imagine having the option to be-exactly-like-MacOS-if-you-want-but-aren’t-forced-to (basically what’s happened with Linux and Windows this year). It would be game over for Apple, at least from a software perspective.

Zorin is a good OS but IMO it’s a little too simplistic for most people who know what an operating system is.

But as the video gets at, the question of “when will Linux be better than Windows” is solidly “today”. MacOS is probably still “better” for someone fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. But Linux is not far behind that either.

Well, the main criticism is probably too few Kelpians…

I certainly won’t disagree with that

Jay-Den and Darem’s recent scene together illustrates it well, I think. And the negative reaction to it from people online who described it with terms like “woke” and “cringe” illustrates that many people are so uncomfortable and so afraid of the concept of being vulnerable that they dismiss it out of hand.

But to be clear, I actually went out of my way not to describe this as “new or groundbreaking”. If anything the messaging I highlighted in my OP has been the consistent through line for the past decade in DSC, SWW, and SFC (and to a lesser extent Picard). But I do think it’s spot-on for our current cultural climate. I (and many others who thought the new series have been too timid with their politics) have been missing the forest for the trees.

We can laugh now at TOS preaching the “illogicality of racism” to be self-evident, but during the time of scientific racism and Jim Crow laws, stating that self-evidence was considered radical. TOS never had an episode about Uhura earning her right to be on the bridge. She was just there. Discovery never had a plot line about Adira coming out as non-binary, they just did.

“Vulnerability is strength” is the radical idea of our modern era where things like emotional insecurity and ability to tolerate loneliness are held up as examples of strength, and not the reality, which is that they are the beliefs of a fearful person.

Labeling someone’s expression as “cringey” is dismissive in any context. It takes real strength to listen.

I believe that dismissing something or someone because you personally find them uncomfortable (ie “cringe”) is ultimately a sign of weakness, and that’s what the writers are trying to tell us. It takes a very strong person to stand up and simply accept without judgement.

The most recent SFA episode was brilliant with that
