Not sure about this, as it is not developed for this purpose. You may take a look at zotero and make a folder/tag per magazine to group them.

What is ubiquity equipment?

Same, never saw either a server or a desktop running alpine.

Fedora is kind of rolling, but not really.

You’ll have frequently daily updates of 800mb but also have packages being updated months after developer release. It’s a good stable system with pretty modern software versions.

However, keep in mind that fedora has versions. As in Debian you’ll have to upgrade from one fedora version to the other, but I don’t think LTS is as wide as in Debian.

Yes, I’m tired of all this distro thing. Let’s stop giving distro advice to new users. Tell them to just pick any as it doesn’t influence their experience in the slightest.

I mean, Arch is a pretty nice place to start for someone who is interested in understanding how the system works and to get a glimpse of what is system administration. But if that is not the objective, and the person just wants to use the pc normally, then I guess any other distribution will be fine. At this point I feel there really is no point to all these different distributions. When Ubuntu came out it was the great new thing simple to use and friendly to new users. When Mint came out it was the brand new Ubuntu even better than before. But at this point… Pretty much any distribution is usable, do we really need so many?

There’s some 5 arch based that came out past year, God knows how many Debian based and so on. I feel this has become futile. Just pick any distribution, it will be fine: arch may break a bit more often than the other ones, provided you can set it up; pick any derivative if you don’t want to spend time setting it up. Debian may have packages that are a bit outdated, pick any derivative if you want a bit newer packages. Fedora will be in between. Suse will also be in between.

That’s pretty much it: do you want something extremely stable? Debian. Do you want the latest update few hours after they’ve been pushed by dev? Arch. None of these constraints? Literally any other distribution.

I am one of these child free uncles. I believe I have two nieces, one of which I guess to be 7 or 8 years old. I have seen one of them once.

I’m sorry, I clearly have no idea what’s good for them.

On a positive side, I live with two children and hopefully that’ll be enough for me to learn how to become a better uncle.

I do not give them any money as I do not use their service in any form. However, there are a few reasons you may want to if you do use their services.

1. If you enjoy the service it is indeed in your interest that it is profitable and keeps on working.
2. You’re saving yourself on installing on your phone a cracked application which likely contains some malware.
3. If you dislike Spotify for what they do and how they behave, you’re better off not using the service altogether.

And I mean, they do offer you a way to listen to music for free anyway, they just have you listen to some advertisement. It is a fair exchange in my opinion. The pricing of their subscription is also fair in my opinion, it’s some 10-15€/month and you can listen to all the music you want all the time, that is about the price of a single disc. If you don’t like the advertisement and don’t want to pay to listen, I’d turn to Soulseek rather than trying to use their service for free.

I myself prefer to have my own music collection and to buy the music from musicians I like, but I do see the advantages of a service like Spotify and I feel it is pretty cool that they offer their huge catalogue for free to anyone in the world.

If you use Spotify, I’d pay for the subscription. If you don’t want to pay for the subscription, I would download the music so that you have it on your phone.

I don’t care at all about DE, as long as it is not gnome. I run vanilla kde with minimal configuration. I tried many DEs through the years, tiling wm and so on. Now I just want something that works and that I don’t worry about. But gnome, I don’t get it. I did try it a couple years ago and my colleagues at work use it, it feels like it is hindering me. I don’t like how the application switcher works, the software launcher and so on. When I use it it feels to me I’m fighting the UI in order to do very simple things.

While I do agree in general, Open ai is not a public company. Valuation logics of private companies are quite different than stock market.

I guess if I were an artist I’d look at this and feel justified suing Spotify for 1 billion dollars for the lack of protection of my music.

Same, i have lossy compression; but I favour opus.

96kbps is quite good sounding compression. You may hear a difference with the original, but in most cases you’ll have to focus very hard to hear it. As far as I know what they archived was not MP3 compressed but rather opus or ogg.

Cool! I don’t really understand the focus on music as you’re probably better off using soulseek to find it, but I’m sure there’s people who will appreciate this.

Massive public financing coming from the government. Damn, I don’t know know how many Italian movies are turning a profit from sales - but I doubt it gets to 1%. Still, they keep making movies.

That is how meta trained llama

Seems very cool!

Now that I’ve seen this I’d really like something like this but to manage HPC queue managers like slurm and the such remotely.
