every login manager was broken, it’d just crash after I put in my password. It was the final straw

Arch has never “broken” on me through my 3 years of using it, but after a while weird issues would start to appear. Like for example my login manager just stopped working permanently and I had to do startplasma-wayland. Ssh agents also subtly broke. Stuff like that. I forgot to enable fstrim and my system freaked out during I/O eventually. These are all technically user error, but I don’t feel like spending so much time on managing my operating system.

I ended up switching to Fedora and was pleasantly surprised how well it’s setup by default.

image loading doesn’t use javascript regardless

based on your other replies, it looks like you want to be able to turn off JavaScript but still have a scripting language be able to run. I’m a little confused why you’d want that or what benefits that would bring.

The next time it happens, reboot and then run sudo journalctl -b 1 -e -x. What errors are logged?

Fun fact: you probably know that wireless earbuds have a primary/secondary relationship, where the audio source connects to just one earbud, which then relays it to the second. Interestingly, this isn’t the case anymore with Bluetooth LE audio, where the phone manages the connection to each earbud independently. even though the phone does more work, it uses less power because the codec is more efficient

It is comical that Google is trying to be Apple except they can’t mimic any of the good parts (processors, polish, etc) and have a miniscule market share.

Try out Typst. I use it for math homework because the syntax is so insanely nice. It’s also not the Perl package hell that is Latex

Whining about .ml takes up more of my feed than .ml

quite a deal, as a 262 year old unc, steam machines back in my day took nearly $2000 to make

the two biggest android news sites are like android police and android authority. what’s next, android totalitarian? android aristocrat?

AI is quite good at web design now, but it still has a distinct style. Claude in particular LOVES to mix serif and monospace fonts. This isn’t necessarily a guarantee based on just that, but it did trigger my alarm bells.

The second biggest thing is the language. LLMs absolutely SPAM slightly vague, short phrases separated by punctuation.

The language on each data point also is pretty repetitive which implies either sub agents were called or the model was asked individually to write something about it in a specific tone.

The final nail in the coffin was the company that made it, Rise up labs, which advertised all their AI software on their home page

Vibe coded af, how has nobody spotted this. The website swears the text was written by a human, and either they have contracted chronic GPT-virus or are an LLM

edit: this is made by Rise Up Labs which is an ai psychosis company

I mean it’s still probably beneficial for a lot of cases. Ad and tracking companies want the easiest route, which is just to farm the people who make no effort to improve their privacy (the majority). Sophisticated trackers do exist, and companies like Meta still do literally everything to get any last bit, but for the most part you’ll knock out 90% of invasion with even basic measures and like 98% with greater measures

For some reason literally any site that uses Framer motion does this for me, so I think this site is doing the same. I hate it and it’s also terrible for performance since it’s JS based animation instead of CSS

I think the XMRig engine is too big to download in a browser in a reasonable size, and WASM isn’t fast enough. also people would be even less happy if they were locked out of a website until they mine crypto for the site owner :p

Lemmy also doesn’t support unifiedpush so it’s impractical to send notifications lol

there’s a rule of thumb: absolute MINIMUM age is half your age + 7. which would make the minimum 30
