    Had a situation twice where one particular friend would antagonize other one (different people in both cases), and after some time rest of us would have that “oh!” moment, with that second friend no longer being a friend now.

    As for myself - became good friends for almost 10 years now with a person who’s first impression to me was not good to say the least.



  • They have this quasi-religious cult vibe that makes them like this:

    1. Sacred texts that give answers to everything.
    2. Saints and prophets. I mean - they mostly identify themselves by someone else’s name - e.g. stalinists, trotskyists, maoists etc.
    3. Aggression to outsiders. Building a good sect requires that, it’s how you keep folks inside - just make them hate the outside.

    That’s not a scientific conclusion on my part, rather vibe-based one, and some conspiracy theory communities can also be described in that way. Which also leads to next conclusion - they’re kept in by a sense of community, and since that community is built around fringe and often cringe ideas - it only leads to doubling down on ideas that seem stupid or dangerous or simply not thought through to any sensible person.










  • I actually don’t see any issues with AI in Ubuntu as long as it’s not like Microsoft’s “here’s Copilot absolutely everywhere, even in Notepad”. I mean, there’s also no way they can shove it up users throats like that too, even their so beloved snap can be removed from the system quite easily.

    But implementing that would still certainly require some constructive discussion with userbase, and it’s already off to a rough start. 🌚



  • I’d recommend trying some budget-y CoreXY-type printer, but I’d be very careful with Creality lineup on that, as many of their options didn’t really turn out well, basic K1 is straight up dogwater, but some later revisions like KE might be better.

    Mentioned already Elegoo Centauri is cool. If you want multi-filament system as well - take a look at Centauri Carbon 2, although it gets a bit less efficient with keeping temperature inside the enclosure due to big silly hat, and using different materials (e.g. different ones for supports) is going to be quite tricky.




  • I’d add to 3 , that most mobile distros have a list of supported devices - postmarketOS Wiki for example.

    And about battery optimizations ( 5 ) - Android devices have quite a number of tricks for battery optimizations, such as few levels of sleep - depending on how long the phone wasn’t touched - with deepest one being very low power consumption mode with only very basic functions active and occasional data refresh for push notifications of high importance. Mobile Linux isn’t yet at that level of optimization, but it will get there eventually.
