Of all the things you could do with your finite existence in this world, you choose to dispute the name of an open source selfhhostable bookmarking app

🤦‍♀️

OK, does that mean it’s not possible to have a public IP using a cellular device?

Awesome, that’s very close to what I had in mind in terms of hardware.

I’d mostly like to host a lightweight website but perhaps also some communications stuff like xmpp and maybe even email.

How does that work? Thanks :)

What I’m currently missing is a simple app for keeping contacts synced between my android phone and Linux desktop.

Excited to see what you do!

Star Labs Starbook 7, Coreboot.

It looks like you’re right - just checked and it only seems to happen when Power Saver is selected in GNOME. Do you know if anything can be done to prevent dimming in this mode?

I know this isn’t directly answering your question and that lots of people will disagree with me on this but unfortunately I think the best option at the moment is to just not let kids go online. The supposed social and educational benefits and the relief from peer pressure/FOMO just don’t justify the damage to their future mental health and understanding of identity.

I’m not personally confronted by this yet because mine are still too young, so take my view for what it is.

I’m a millennial and remember a few kids when I was growing up who didn’t have a TV because their parents weren’t comfortable with the brainrot, even back then. That was thirty years ago and those kids are now successful and confident people, living full lives. And nobody even really noticed at the time that they were the odd ones out because they didn’t watch TV. They are more ‘functional’ than the rest of us.

Things are way more intense now. The people who work for social media companies won’t let their kids on it, which I think says it all.

It’s a shame that the internet as a whole has become what it is because it has/had a lot of positive potential. But even the more ethical and neutral parts of it get infected by the pathological culture and addictive format that has emerged from it. Just look at the judgement and antagonism that you often see here on Lemmy for example. Not to mention the loneliness.

Personally, right now, I would look for a solution that isn’t a smartphone but that’s just me.

They already rolled this out in Cardiff recently.

I can’t imagine any messenger is private if you invite random people into a group chat 🤦‍♂️

Well put.

I get screamed at for attention sometimes, which seems like a pretty good definition of trolling. So yeah.

Firstly - buy laptops that are more linux compatible

This is the thing: The laptop is from Starlabs, supposedly made for Linux…

In what way? I haven’t upgraded between major releases on Debian before.

Intel Arc integrated graphics.

Are you using the liquorix kernel?

I can only see one downvote and four upvotes from here - I think you’re good!

I had problems with waking from sleep/hibernate, audio issues (total dropouts as well as distortion in screen-recording apps), choppy video playback and refusal to enter fullscreen, wonky cursor scaling, apps not working as expected or not running at all. I’ve managed to fix most of these or find temporary workarounds (grateful for flatpaks for once!) or alternative applications. But the experience was not fun, particularly as there was only a 2 week return window for the laptop and I needed to be sure the problems weren’t hardware design/choice related. And I’m finding it 50/50 whether an app actually works when I install it from the repo. There’s a lot less documentation for manually installing things as well and DNF is slow compared to apt…

I don’t want to say for certain that Fedora as a distro is to blame but I suspect that it is. I miss my Debian days.

What makes Debian 12 a painful distro to upgrade?

It doesn’t seem possible to use TAB in keybaord shortcuts yet. I think it would be a good feature to have and would make sense!

I currently have Next Image set to ctrl+]
