Sweet, do you have any links on how to set that up? My next goal is to set up my own lemmy.<mydomain> instance up so I can pull various things for my own aggregation. Last I tried, I had errors after the Rust compiling steps, need to try it agian.

I was shocked as I went through the source struggling to find any modules that had C. Craziness.

There are shitty people on YouTube too, why hate on a platform just because shitty people use either one of them? Beats giving money to YouTube, we have to start somewhere to decentralize more.

https://odysee.com/ – this one is also worth checking out, Louis Rossmann even posts there.

What about Biden signing in the new spying bill recently that enhances wiretapping of US citizens?

I agree, wish this was the actual goal but it’s going to be hard to pry those rights out of their hands.

It’s weird seeing comments that outline the actual problem getting downvoted here more than the superfluous comments that do not address the real problem at all. Bizarroworld.

Would you rather a hostile foreign entity do it instead, who have vested interest in sewing destructive chaos as a goal, though? That’s the alternative.

I’m still on the google prompt bandwagon of typing this query:

stuff i am searching for before:2023… or ideally, even before COVID19, if you want more valuable, less tainted results. It’s only going to get worse from here, 2024 is the year of saturation with garbage data on the web (yes I know it was already bad before, but now AI is pumping this shit out at an industrial scale.)

I don’t really have to fix anything in Linux, I do a lot of advanced things though (I’m a software dev) where I will manually change executables’ paths, swap them out with symlinks, use custom newer GCC compilers, etc, but even with all of that I still rarely ever have to “fix” anything. I have been waiting, prepared, for when this Ubuntu install craps out so I can finally wipe it out and switch to Arch for this PC… but it still keeps going and going without a hiccup.

I’m not sure what people are referring to that they have to fix all the time, but no two people have the same experience overall obviously, and there are so many variations of a linux system. like take 10 different desktop environments or window managers or different pieces of software or hardware and every permutation is going to have either more problems, or less problems.

Ultimately I would recommend anybody just giving all of the distros and DE/WMs a try. A good try, give it a few weeks and see how each of them feel, you’re not going to know what you’ve been missing, or if anything ever has bugs or quirks at all period, until you do.

Try phind.com, it’s got an insanely advanced model trained on a ton of their own proprietary code, and free too (or paid with more features and more prompts per day, etc.)
