@treatcover Well, you can run Mistral locally but my laptop is not powerful enough haha
Also, yeah, a small copy paste goes a long way!

@ageedizzle I plan on using https://chat.mistral.ai/ since it’s a completely different model that is open source and based in france so regulated by GDPR. If you still use ChatGPT but from somewhere else, it kinda defeats the purpose to switch away from it, in my opinion.

@muusemuuse There are many comment but only a few links so check it out :

For PC, yt-dlp is by far the best ( https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)

There are many wrapper/UIs you can install, like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.

For Android, I’ve seen people mention NewPipe https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

But personally I think Seal is the best as it allows to download entire playlists. https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal

@Willdrick @BrianTheeBiscuiteer there’s a cool video on the subject at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5FbRfwMEuo

Basically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from “Deleted user” with no way to delete them.

@MasterBlaster If the company is in the EU, and they use AI to do facial recignition, that is actually illegal! See https://natlawreview.com/article/use-ai-recruitment-and-hiring-considerations-eu-and-us-companies

@33550336 Thanks! I’m still figuring some things out as I go but it’s just some habits I don’t have!

@FreddiesLantern Aside from the hiccups I mentionned, it works great! I was surprised my backlit keyboard even works, but I think that’s managed by my bios.

I’ll keep on using it, but I’m trying to document my struggles because if Linux is aiming to be a good alternative to Windows computers getting to end of life, then some set up wouldn’t be done by most people and just assume it’s broken and maybe switch back to Windows where it “Just works”.

Maybe this can help with the onboarding experience!

@EtnaAtsume Mint install or not, you should regularly back up your data in an external drive!

Yes, installing mint on the Windows partition deletes Windows and all your files so make a backup or put them on another partition!

But without deleting your data, you can always boot from an USB stick and try thingd around in this environnement!

@cupcakezealot It’s
neofetch

Try it! :blobcathug:

@Creat My laptop is weird, because it has a media key for screenshoting an area (which is basically a key that doed Windows Shift S which isn’t recognized by default on Mint), and a print screen key which works fine. And to screenshot an area, on Mint it’s ctrl+print screen

@Nyadia Figured it out and it worked! Strange that this isn’t the default.

@scott It’s a mastodon post, lemmy federates it and takes the start of the post as a title. Can’t do much about that :blobcatcoffee:

@cmnybo I figured it out, but I think it’s still not very intuitive when you’re used to it working by default!

@eatCasserole I have found a software called Diodon, and seems to work fine!
You need to set a custom shortcut in your settings but besides that it does the job

@hard_zero1 Thanks so much! It worked! :blobcatheart:

@First_Thunder Is there any way to disable that?

@This2ShallPass @themachinestops As an extension developper on Mozilla’s store, yes it’s definitely possible. There’s some automatic review process but what you state in your implicit data consent disclosure (that’s how they call it) is up to the developer.

However, the extension can’t access all websites unless you specifically allow it while installing. There’s an “All websites” permission, so if it’s that or if it includes some kind of sketchy site then it’s a bad sign.

Finally, just like any web page, you can always inspect an extension and check the network requests to see if it’s doing malicious stuff. If so, then you can report it.

But since mozilla accounts are free and only require a verified email, they could just create another one. It’s an endless game of whack-a-mole!

@herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it’s not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)

Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!

@anamethatisnt @schnurrito Good catch, I did not include a licence, now it’s MIT licensed!
