Yes!

Someone in this community once said that if you’re not ready with a backup plan, then you’re not ready for self-hosting.

The distro doesn’t really have much impact on the end result. Use what you prefer. Especially if you are using containers which is really the way to go anyway.

It’s worth noting that there are some problems with using Snap. I don’t recall the service I was using, but I was pulling out my hair trying to solve something that I could not get working. Turns out that the snap installation did not function in the expected way and the solution was to re-install without Snap.

Yes. As the universe expands, the “structure” of spacetime is actually expanding as well. That means that extremely distant objects are moving away from us at greater than the speed of light. Here is another article with video that explains this.

I’m not pirating. I’m building my model.

A number of apps are already building piefed support. It seems to have some features that Lemmy lacks and more responsive development. I think it’s too early to count it out completely.

Used books are hard to move. This is one reason why most libraries don’t take donations. These sales are for clearing shelves more than for making profit.

Iran has consistently hid nuclear refinement facilities from international inspection, and there have been numerous reports of materials and facilities that serve no civilian purpose over the past 20 years, when such activity is in violation of international agreements.

Nuclear weapons require very precise detonators to explode, unlike conventional exposives which generally require only heat (and can blow up in the way you describe).

It’s unclear, but most international experts agree that Iran has not yet actually put the nuclear material into any detonators. The problem is that Iran has been refining and stockpiling nuclear payloads, which could fairly easily be put into a bomb. That’s what most of the world wants to prevent.

It’s main development is in Russia and some people have a problem with that, but the code is open, so it seems far fetched that there is anything malicious in there. I’m not an expert by any means, though.

I’m transitioning my (very small) office to OnlyOffice and OwnCloud this summer. I have a lot of autonomy so I can basically just make the decision.

I’m choosing OnlyOffice over LibreOffice because it’s a more similar to 360 an I will have to help the staff with very little tech literacy through the transition.

We’re not ready to transition the OS just yet (and may not be able to), but as the hardware ages, we may change over some of the less essential systems. Probably Ubuntu or Zorin.

Anyone still on Twitter is fine hanging out in a Nazi bar.

You seem to be really stuck on this. You posted about a grant program that Mozilla is involved in for a startup to work on developing a secure chat on a more open protocol. Now you dug up a LinkedIn post about the same startup attending an unrelated AI technology conference.

No one is saying that Mozilla isn’t involved in AI at all. The only thing I said is that the foundation is in trouble because Google antitrust actions are likely to harm their funding. As a result, they are cutting back in a lot of areas, including staffing, AI, and other side projects.

The original article ignorantly and irresponsibly overlooks the basic math of the situation.

Looks like a step in the right direction. E2EE messaging is a worthy venture under the Mozilla umbrella.

Not sure why you are posting about it in this thread about AI.

The author’s timeline is off. The AI investment was in 2023, before most of the Google antitrust activity. They are also scaling back their AI programs.

Why do people love to hate on Firefox? People have been harping on Pocket for years as a waste of resources that hardly anyone uses, but now that they are eliminating it, people are coming out of the woodwork to wax nostalgic?

It turns out that making a modern browser is a huge, complex task. It’s been said that it is more on par with maintaining an OS than another type of app. Mozilla is not perfect but why are we so quick to let the perfect be the enemy of the good?

It’s pretty tone-deaf to criticize layoffs on the same article that acknowledges their historic dependence on Google’s rapidly collapsing monopoly. Where is the money going to come from?

A poorly thought out blog post about the only major browser that isn’t built on Apple, Google, or Microsoft.

Didn’t Escobar Inc. already try this?

Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.

Lip injections make me think of those wax lips they used to give out for Halloween

C’mon, people… File versioning.

Sometimes it can begin as empathy. As simple as “how would YOU feel if someone else did/said that?”

Of course, most people without much self awareness choose to be that way and will rarely thank you for helping them. Just be cautious, especially if they are in a position of power.
