Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

I mean, the notice says that the other channel was terminated so I don't think you'll be able to find it on YouTube still.

Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging
Reply in thread
Worse than that, the issue the article states isn't that it's a flat pack, it's that fedora is pushing their rebuilt flat pack of obs that's buggy instead of the official obs one from flat hub that works, and then the obs project is getting bug reports for a third party distribution that's broken.
Because fedora isn't just pushing flat packs, they're pushing made by fedora versions of them instead of the official builds from the maintainers.

Selfhosted coding assistant?
I've not found them useful yet for more than basic things. I tried Ollama, it let's you run locally, has simple setup, stays out of the way.

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable

Ublock origin has been working for YouTube for me, they've had some rough patches where YouTube updated and then they had to update, but it's been smooth for the past couple years.

What 3D printing-related software runs on Linux?
Prusa slicer, orcaslicer, I've used both on Linux, runs native.
Prusa slicer was in the repos, orca slicer I had to download the app image.
Also openscad, freecad, also work for 3d modeling and should be in your distro's repositories.

If you haven't fallen down the keyboard rabbit hole then you don't know just how far it goes...
It very much can be a hobby costing thousands of dollars and resulting in several keyboard projects.

I saw those ads at an airport too. Can't imagine what they expect people to do when they see the ad... Who's even the target audience for ads like this in the airport?

Cow Milk is white. Orange cheese is colored with annato. (Yes, yellow cheddar is colored with annato or other coloring. Same with yellow American cheese)
Natural unaged cheese color is the same as milk, white or a light off white.

Agree, the few videos of his that I appreciated were so rare and in every one he reminds me of that guy who is a pain to actually work with and any way other than their way is completely incorrect to them.

Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts Project Update · tteck Proxmox · Discussion #4009
Reply in thread
The proxmox interface let's you make the containers, but you have to install the software you want to host in that container after creation.
These scripts let you run a script that makes the container and also installs what you want to host within the container and does the setup.
I used their script to set up a home assistant vm, you run the script and it downloads the HaOS install media and does the install in the VM for you, preconfigured, and starts it so all I had to do was go access the web interface.

So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops?

Agree, also confused because Debian seemed to get security updates rather frequently when I've used it.
That's like their whole thing, stable and security updates. I would be curious if there are examples of exploits that weren't patched quickly on Debian stable.

I've been buying the few games I play on GOG, so that means I can't sell my CS:GO items anymore.
I ran into this after not buying anything new in a while (really don't need new games) If you have anything in your steam wallet from past items being sold, you can use that for the requirement of buying something, look for just a cheap classic, usually they can be $0.99 or so on steam sales. I found that works to get back to being able to trade again

I'm waiting to see regular reviews of those slate trucks and maybe a second model year/iteration. And maybe waiting to see if they eventually get better range. Sure not having a radio or infotainment is overkill, and only hand crank windows is overkill, but for $25k-30k and no big screen, it seems quite reasonable if all I want is a reliable box that moves around.

‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones / A recent survey of teens found that 87% have iPhones, and don’t plan to switch

The Fairphone. Fairphone 2 was updated from Android 5 through 10 (5 years on the latest version) Fairphone 3 started at 9 and is currently on Android 13, that's five years, and hasn't had it's last update yet.
That's two Android phones with at least 5 years on the latest OS, and Fairphone 2 got patch updates until this year, giving it support and updates from 2014 until 2023

We believe the ultimate moral defense of markets is that they divert people who otherwise would raise armies and start religions into peacefully productive pursuits.
Um. Hmm. Pretty sure that didn't work and those in politics are raising armies and not doing peaceful pursuits...
Also a lot of the stuff about willing buyer and seller assumes that the buyer has options, I don't think from the perspective of real people that everyone has that many options, so they end up with loans or other things which are not good, just to be able to afford vehicles to get to work or a place to live.
So a lot if this seems written by a rich person who has always been able to buy everything they needed and more, not someone who is having to go take loans or go into debt just to be able to get to work.
