I work with Zendesk and this doesn’t surprise me at all - the product is janky and they’re much more interested in sales and squeezing a few more $$s from their clients than improving it or fixing issues

I use Nextcloud to sync a huge music collection and it works great - I was kinda surprised

I run it on an underpowered NUC and it behaves beautifully

you should probably use a VPN if you’re uploading because it’s trivial for law enforcement to track - there’s no Onion routing or anything like that, and anyone can register and search

but for downloading / leeching I wouldn’t be as worried because very generally speaking people aren’t harassed for downloading, only sharing

yep came here to say NixOS - once I was used to it, the advantages for programming are immense. I commit my shell.nix to Git and use Lorri to automagically install the right environment tools and it feels magical being able to work on multiple machines and never encounter dependency oddness

it isn’t so loud that other people would notice, i don’t think - and usually just a bit of readjustment of my position is enough to unblock the vents

don’t let me dissuade you from buying the best laptop i’ve owned!

if i have it on a table, it’s fine, mostly silent. if i have it on my lap blocking the vents then it can get noisier and hotter pretty fast

I run NixOS on my Ryzen Framework 13 and it works flawlessly, including fingerprint reader. I run KDE now but I’ve also used Gnome with no issues.

I used this nixos-hardware module for some of the fancier hardware tweaks I don’t really understand: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

as the inverse to this, I like to be reminded how much Windows sucks so I don’t feel any desire to reinstall it

my LG TV was up to date but I still managed to root it just recently, via this method: https://github.com/throwaway96/dejavuln-autoroot

it’s well worth it - rebinding the remote alone is sweet AF, plus the ad-free and sponsor-blocking YouTube is great

for you, maybe

for the planet, nuh-uh

good bot

I use Librewolf with Firefox Sync and it works excellently, it doesn't interfere with Librewolf's operations at all

nice - unlimited Kagi was good value at $25 for power users but at $10 it’s good value for everyone, even if they never dig around in the settings

my favourite feature is raising / lowering results, as others have mentioned, but I also use the AI summarizer quite often

It’s a reference to the “We Should Improve Society Somewhat” meme, zinging the defeatist replies in this thread.
