I'm not saying I'm very knowledgeable but as your asking for the consensus. I think Bluesky is much better than twitter but it doesn't properly embody the ideals of the fediverse: that is a decentralized network of instances but it really only has one main instance. It's also heavily viewed as an alternative to twitter, people who like twitter but don't like X or the way elon musk is running things so the same people who don't like twitter go to X and therefore the community isn't so much better.

But who am I to say this I don't even use twitter mastadon or Bluesky.

Yes I do. Although I don't use text generation for writing creative pieces I use it for coding and help in the Linux terminal. It's not like I was going to pay anyone to do that for me.

Blender is half the reason I believe in open source. They continue to innovate and compete with companies that have orders of magnitude more funding.

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

I've never really since I didn't have any reason to, although I regularly use it as a knowledge base since Lemmy cannot compete on that regard.

I like the idea of the fediverse so I thought I'd come here.

Also surveilance capitalism sucks ass.

Wait what? I'm really confused I thought this post was about a different image when I commented that.

I totally agree this is definetly ai and I can tell very easily.

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 days ago

I'm not sure weather it is AI or not. It's much easier to tell when the images are ment to look realistic.

I very much agree. Text generation has many valid use cases and I use it on a day to day basis, but image generation as much fewer valid use cases and much more malicious ones.

Weird privacy things like this happen to me as well. I'm just putting it down to the placebo effect, I don't think it really can see your browser unless microsoft is exploiting some security vulnerability in your os.

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Ok, I understand now, and that's totally fair. I didn't really realize that's what you meant in your post.

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

I definitely see your thinking. But for me the ability to understand complex ideas such as society and language is way to big of a trade off to be worth becoming any other animal.

Yes I know about kodi but I have a few issues with that for one it has a pretty outdated ui but this is not a deal breaker for me but it also doesn't allow the opening of other applications like Netflix or jellyfin etc, you have to install a compatible plugin.

Are there any gnu/Linux desktop environments that are optimised for a home theatre time situation to be used with a remote or game controller? At the moment I will probably just use gnome or kde but it doesn't work well at all with remote or game controller.

That's a real showcase of how linux actually cares about its users over other companies. It's great to see that hardware I buy now will be supported on linux for a long long time into the future.

I recently bought a pair of KZ zsn pro x from the official store on ali express and when I started listening to them they sound really empty with seemingly no base. This is comparing to my budget gaming headphones (razer blackshark v2) From what I've heard online there is nothing but good things said about them. I got them on special for like 15 bucks which is so cheap.

Is it normal for iem's to have a almost non existent base compared to headphones or did I just get a bad batch of what I ordered? I did hear some complaints about bad Qc which I think means quality control so maybe thats the problem I'm no audiophile so I don't really know.

[[SOLVED]] Never mind guys sorry I am a little bit silly. They really need to go all the way right up your ears.

Hi everyone, I am looking for an encrypted messaging service to start using and recommending to my friends and family, I really want to get this right the first time. At the moment I'm looking at using matrix I really like it's bridges and federated nature, Although I'm not 100% sure about it's ux.

What I want to ask is what messaging service do you use and do you have any regrets with it? What encrypted messaging service would you recommended?

Edit: I just had another question are any of the bridges in matrix end to end encrypted? If person A used matrix and person B used signal could person A use a bridge to talk to person B securely?

Edit 2: thanks for all the responses guys it looks like signal seams like the best option since it has really good security like many other messaging apps but it's also easy to use.

I am a Linux beginner/amateur and I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.

I guess my end goal is to be able to comfortably install and use arch Linux with my own customization's and be able to fix it when things go wrong.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works. What is a good roadmap to follow? And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?

Edit: my current distro is bazzite just in case you were interested and thanks for all the replies you are all really helpful.

For the first time I am actually switching my main PC from Windows to Linux.

Problem: When booting into Fedora there was no display output, I changed it to safe graphics to install everything and that fixed it but after the install finished I tried turning it back off and there was still no display output

What I have already tried: I've tried installing drivers and everything I could find although that shouldn't be the problem since I have an AMD 6700xt and Fedora comes with AMD drivers built in. I also tried Installing Linux Mint thinking maybe the distro was the problem but it came up with the same issue.

And if anyone suggests it no there is no way I am going to daily drive on safe graphics.

Edit: I am dual booting on a single 500gb ssd with windows already installed on the other half of the drive, not sure if that would be the problem. Also a similar problem was happening on windows if I left the screen in login for too long without signing in the display would show no signal and it wouldn't wake up if I moved my mouse or clicked or pressed any keys.
