If not Linux, which OS would you use?
For me it would be Mac: at least it has some UNIX reminiscence.

It did not get my setup right. I guess that newsboat+PostmarketOS+Pinephone is exotic enough.

ChatGPT Isn't as Good at Coding as We Thought
I don't know how others are using chatGPT for coding, but I found I get the best results when starting small and iterate over the results few times. Like:
I use it mostly for Typescript, Bash and Clojure and results vary from good to OK (Clojure). The whole process is way faster if you use a tool like sGPT.

I just started using Linux... any great tips?
The Linux community is indeed remarkable, but the multitude of available distributions can sometimes give an impression of fragmentation. When you discover the distribution that best fits your needs, it's important to remember not to take it personally. Avoid developing a bias towards your chosen distribution as it could potentially lead to unnecessary conflicts with others who prefer different distributions within the community.

X now wants your biometric data, as well as your job and education history for ‘safety, security, and identification purposes’
While the potential misuse of highly personal information by private companies is indeed a concern, I believe we may be overlooking a key point that the article doesn't fully address: Musk's ambition to create a "super app". I haven't delved deeply into this concept, but I've pondered it a bit. The question that comes to mind is: why would someone choose to develop an app for Twitter instead of Android or iOS?
Apart from the obvious advantage of not having to develop for two separate platforms, there's also the benefit of user identification. This, I believe, will be a major draw for many services. The ability to verify a user's identity at the ID level, even down to their fingerprint, is a significant advantage. From a technical standpoint, it's impressive, but consider the legal implications as well. It's incredibly convenient for those offering sensitive services.
If this approach proves successful and attracts companies, government entities, and so on, and if Twitter becomes the platform where we can easily renew our driving licenses, pay municipal taxes, and handle other tedious tasks, would we be willing to exchange our personal data for such convenience? Perhaps those of us reading this comment wouldn't, at least initially, but I suspect the majority of people would.

Does anyone use a Pinephone?
I use it everyday (typing this on it), but not as phone replacement. With the keyboard is a great ultra portable tiny laptop. I also have an old phone with Ubuntu Touch, that is a better candidate as android replacement.

[Request] lightweight distro
If you enjoy using older, less powerful computers, it's important to find a Linux distribution that can accommodate the limited resources. While extremely stripped-down distributions like Tinycore might seem appealing, they often lack the functionality and ease of use that come with more comprehensive distributions.
Instead, I would recommend learning how to use a window manager and forgoing a desktop manager. This approach allows you to maintain a lightweight system without sacrificing too much functionality.
When it comes to choosing a distribution, some are more bloated than others, so it's crucial to find one that offers a degree of flexibility during the installation process. In this regard, Debian is a great choice.
You can install Debian as a server, which will provide a minimal base system. From there, you can install a window manager and only the essential packages you need. This way, you can keep your system lean and efficient, perfect for older, low-powered computers.

I've never said that the title is wrong, or the content is wrong. I just wanted to highlight that the focus should be on the "act" (eating) and not on the "being" (vegan vs not-vegan). The graph you've pasted would look friendlier if instead of saying "meat-eaters" ... "vegans", would say something like "high meat consumption" ... "100% plant based". Grouping the actions and not the people.

Isn't it weird that we put credentials in the environment?
Reply in thread
I'd be very thankful for an example of your setup. I'm using Bitwardern for browser-related password management, but for convenience scripts I load the credentials as env vars at login through .bash_profile 😅

I agree that it might be pedantic to some, but I think it is important to strive for a clear message.
You also don’t have to follow an entirely vegan philosophy to follow a strict vegan diet.
That's the point I wanted to make on my original comment.
Not to mention “100% plant based” implies you don’t eat fungi!
Yeah, my examples didn't want to be the definitive nomenclature.

Not really. I use it without SIM card, with the extra battery housed in the keyboard I have to plug it every 2 days.

wouldn't that count as cheating? :D hiding Linux under the rug and say "no no, I'm using Windows" :D
