I thought graphene os has sandbox for google play services? Couldn’t you use that with a qr code scanner and whatever else you need to bypass their attempts at locking down the ecosystem entirely, at least on GOS?

I have actually. Mineclonia too. it’s what I go to now instead of MC (for singleplayer at least). it is quite amazing to me how seemingly complex features are quickly added.

Minecraft, YouTube (now I use it through FreeTube)

I also recommend QOwnNotes in addition, mostly because it’s lightweight. I found that if you wouldwant to do handwriting, xournal++ or Rnote works well. Rnote has an upper hand because it has an infinite canvas feature, kind of like onenote

I think (I may be wrong here) that Debian wild be good enough for beginners. Their stable branch is, well… stable, and i didn’t run into that many issues (I think it would only be when you want to run stuff that isn’t either a flatpak or in the repos, like i tried to do with howdy). Testing would also be good ,but expect a few issues.

I think endeavor OS could also do well. in my experience, the install process was easy, kinda like Debian (the first distro I installed). Dare I say it is easier than (or maybe slightly comparable to) Arch with archinstall?

heard that arch was Canadian (originated from)

No

I had the same experience. Asked a local LLM about using sole Qt Wayland stuff for keyboard input, a the only documentation was the official one (which wasn’t a lot for a noob), no.examples of it being used online, and with all my attempts at making it work failing. it hallucinated some functions that didn’t exist, even when I let it do web search (NOT via my browser). This was a few years ago.

I tried this with a local model on my phone (qwen 2.5 was the only thing that would run, and it gave me this confusing output (not really a definite answer…):

it just flip flopped a lot.

E: also, looking at the response now, the numbers for the car part doesn’t make any sense

that’s what private cities and walled off estates are for

I would just like to add that there is a school (I think in California) that the rich sends their kids to, where electronic devices are prohibited (and access restricted I believe). Though from the video, it does look lie the interact with others outside of that circle.

Here’s the video: YouTube Link

I remember having this exact conversation/ epiphany yesterday night with family

Ahhh. The cars I’ve been in (the most) are pre-2015 (2007 and 2014). Thanks!

I have a few friends who know how to sew, and they all say it’s an essential skill, and they did actu use that skill. I am also thinking of picking it up…

For context, me (and my friends) are all under 20

They no longer put […] cigarette lighters in vehicles

I thought they still did? Just isn’t referred as “Cigarette lighter” anymore?

This might be me being kind of pedantic, but this might actually be adwaita instead of LO. I’ve noticed on RNote (a GTK app that uses adwaita), that the save icon is as you described, whereas on KDE’s breeze and oxygen icon themes (and I’m sure many others), the save icon is still a floppy.

Their free plan of onedrive is only 5gb now :(

I remember reading (I think on Wikipedia or something? ) that they used to offer unlimited when they were SkyDrive. But I may be wrong (it’s been a few years)

Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.

Yeah, that is a big plus too (that, and the federation). This can hopefully mean that lemmy can never turn into what reddit currently is.

From a previous comment of mine on the same topic:

I was browsing around on r/kde sometimes, and there was a banner-thing Saying that KDE Supported open platforms like Lemmy. I took a look at Lemmy’s Wikipedia, and browsed around a few days later. I liked the stuff on c/programmerhumour, So I joined. Also my Reddit account got banned (i think, might be deactivated, idk) due to inactivity (I wasn’t on for 2-3 years), and I didn’t care to do anything about it. Also, as a bit of context for the above, it did take a while from hearing about Lemmy and browsing and joining.

I have recently switched to PieFed because it has a faster development cycle and more features (same username).
