Had an old laptop with win xp and tried out Ubuntu instead of moving to vista which was terrible.

I still dual booted Windows 7 for many years on my main PC but at some point that was too bloated and I moved permanently to Ubuntu and later Arch.

As a programmer I got to experience the evolution of almost all tools support going from back then “Windows install instructions, Mac install and Linux - you’re on your own” to now: “Linux, maybe Mac… and Windows, just use our Linux VM”!

They didn’t mention battery life once, and it doesn’t even have a torch?

Yes, CloudFlare blocks agents completely if they ignore it’s restrictions. The key is scale - CloudFlare has a birds eye view of traffic patterns across millions of sites and can do statistical analysis to determine who is a bot.

I hate the necessity but it works

3 that I’m actually using, on my “Home Server” (Raspberry Pi).

One day I will be migrating the work stuff on VPS over to Docker, and then we’ll see who has the most!

Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

And it doesn’t rain

Pretty scant on details, something to move the stock price up a notch?

If I was to guess I would say we might get ai tools in the page builder interface next, urgggh

Always making friends on the bus…

I have one in my wallet - just in case someone wants to steal my phone and I somehow have time to remove my SIM and SD before they take it… optimistic I know

If it’s anything like Linux desktop the apps you really need (for me, WhatsApp) are going to be available in 10 years. After that it’s a short slide to “if you don’t have Linux (why not?) by the way here’s how to install on android/iOS if you must.”

At least that’s my experience as an early Linux on desktop adopter. Yes Linux is a niche thing in mobile at the moment but the truth is the developers are the ones who make it happen and they are already there.

This is actually a big comedy moment in South Africa - look up “Die Groot Tsek” on social media!

Theres a flatpak for that.

I suspect that Trump offering asylum to Afrikaners has more to do with USA being pissed at SA for the Gaza case than him thinking there is a “South African Genocide”. He’s just trying to stir the pot but generally South Africans don’t take this seriously. Some people on here though…

Yeah I was 100% Opera on desktop and mobile until they switched to chromium and broke everything from before. Still pissed about that, lost all my bookmarks and notes at one point.

Libreelec on raspberry pi 4 (Kodi) works for me but it really needs a new YouTube app. That’s the only issue really

What like OpenAI?

Deepseek api is down today - probably a result of their viral success recently…

I need this but 4G version…

Clearly evolution in action

I have MX Linux on my old Dell Inspiron 1300 that refuses to die after 20 years. Great distro, I like it better than Ubuntu in some ways - just difficult to install some software built for 64 bit only of course
