Looking for a recipe manager.

Been using this one, and really like it. I sync it with nextcloud, but you don't have to.

Not likely.

A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom
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.

If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?
I'm a social worker by background. It all started with running Linux on my desktop.
From there, the possibilities seemed endless.

Linux on old School Machines?
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 think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?
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".

Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away
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.

To all European Union/Europe Open Source/Linux Enthusiasts
Reply in thread
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.

Is there anything i can do with this laptop?
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.

Infected games under Proton.
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.

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