I crossposted to the Rust Lang community here on Lemmy as well.

You don't need to buy a new computer just to learn Linux. You can create a bootable flash drive and install it on an external SSD and boot from the SSD when you need to use Linux. If you don't want an external SSD, you can dual-boot and keep Linux on a separate partition on your machine.

In terms of distros, I'd recommend Ubuntu or Pop!_OS to get started with. Other distros like Elementary OS, Linux Mint, or Debian can be suitable as well.

Imagine if debates weren't aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what's going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.

Just started using Lemmy more because my favorite app is back! Definitely impressed with the UI/UX. Familiar and easy to use!

Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Exactly. Not everything needs to be a goddamn SPA!

Yes but the browser engine isn't really the main selling point. Kagi is building with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It's privacy respecting, fast, and extensible.

It's kinda absurd if you think about it. We're here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

+1 for Fedora. Red Hat's new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.

I've been using Kagi for about a month, and I have to say the searches are excellent! No more wasting time searching through over-SEO'd ad-ridden crap! Just high quality results!

I'm subscribed to three publications: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs. I regularly read articles from The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Foreign Policy, The Diplomat, and other publications like ProPublica. I also read academic blogs on journalism, nuclear weapons, and other topics. I follow a lot of academics and experts on Twitter to get their hot takes.

Then send thoughts and prayers when it happens over and over again. We've done nothing to fix the problem and there's nothing we can do about it!

Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!

I've been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I'd say it's still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can't be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO'd crap. I haven't used the personalization features like lenses much, although it's useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.

What do you think about Kagi?

You can use Bitwarden Premium for 2FA keys. It's pretty cheap and well worth it to support development ($10/yr).

If you're on Android and don't want to pay for Bitwarden Premium, I'd use something like Aegis Authenticator.

For beginners, I would definitely recommend Zorin OS since it can run .exe files in case there's no Linux version (.deb, flatpak, snap, etc.) of the software you're looking to run. You can use Wine in any other distro, but I feel like Zorin OS makes it foolproof with a simple UI.

Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅
