How did you install the custom cursors? Xfce uses gtk framework, as does Firefox. Steam uses their own framework.

You're looking for a way to set the cursors globally.

These being senns, I don't think they fall into the "cheap crap" category.

Also, replacing the foam is far better than replacing the whole unit. If you have a recommendation for foam pad replacements that will last years, that would be awesome!

I remember getting "okay Boomer"-ed when pointing this out several years ago. I'm on the cusp of Boomer and X.

Are those of you who are younger getting the picture, or is it still we older folks complaining?

I think the more philosophical issue is that there is a class of people who are the "owners" and a class who are the "users".

The "owners" have a whole ton of power over what we use. When ownership was decentralized, so was the power.

We're talking about games here, but this can generalize to do many other things.

Boy! In my day we paid for 8 bit armor and LIKED it!

Get off my lawn!

Thank you for the giggle. 😉

Will they care / understand about false positives?

Not likely.

I spent some years in classrooms as a service provider when Wikipedia was all the rage. Most districts had a "no Wikipedia" policy, and required primary sources.

My kids just graduated high school, and they were told NOT to use LLM's (though some of their teachers would wink). Their current college professors use LLM detection software.

AI and Wikipedia are not the same, though. Students are better off with Wikipedia as they MIGHT read the references.

Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.

I'm a social worker by background. It all started with running Linux on my desktop.

From there, the possibilities seemed endless.

It's where Linux really shines, to be honest. Those specs will be fine. Great learning opportunity for the students too.

I'd like a law that software / hardware companies who file for bankruptcies must release the source / files for their tech to an open source repository.

I was hoping for a story.

A tool becomes "good" or "bad" based on its implementation.

The current trend towards massive unsustainable data centers is pretty objectively "bad" for humans and other creatures for questionable benefit.

Localized AI, on the other hand, would be less harmful, and more useful. This would move the needle towards a more objective "good".

I don't believe this is a new concept. IIRC, the same claim was made around 20 years ago.

I suspect these things go through cycles like everything else.

We should definitely be paying attention when the developers of critical infrastructure begin to burn out.

This is the salient point that's hard to communicate.

We've moved to fdroid and others because we're trying to avoid the scammers on the Play Store.

You're right, but it's more nuanced than that.

The EU is like a Hydra. Some heads are consumer facing, others are population control facing.

Success would mean distracting the control heads while wooing the population heads.

No easy task.

Depends on what the virus is built to do.

I read someone intentionally infected their Linux system with a Windows virus, and they lost the home directory.

The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.

Getting out and actually doing something useful and productive can help you view the world in a different way. Be a part of the things that are good about the world.

Semantics, no? Side loading is an alternate way of installing.
