Run Linux on your machine as a VM.

Honestly this has been the only thing I regularly use AI for. Recipes without BS.

(Meta) What's up with the recent influx of posts here and on nostupidquestions asking borderline insane questions as if written by people who have never encountered another human before? in c/[email protected]

Examples?

Not with UPS anymore. That agreement ended recently.

Does Lemmy have an ghost community problem? in c/asklemmy
[–] Brkdncr 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah it’s a problem.

The fix is to direct those communities to larger generic communities. For example, people looking to talk about their 2nd gen Mazda rx7 shouldnt start an rx7 community. They probably shouldn’t even start a Mazda community. They should use the existing car or automotive communities.

Reddit and other large message boards start out with a few common topics (news, tech, music, asklemmy) and a catchall for everything else. If topics in the catchall get too numerous, need to be moderated more, or shouldn’t be in the catchall for any number of reasons, they get pushed to their own community.

This sounds a little chaotic but it allows organic growth.

It requires a bit of support by the admins though, and acceptance of the chaos by everyone else.

I think tagging, and a catchall community setting that requires posts to be tagged, would help figure out which topics have become big enough for a split.

Tariffs Would Impact These States the Most | LendingTree (www.lendingtree.com)
submitted 1 day ago by Brkdncr to c/news

To better understand the potential impact, LendingTree analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data to see which states have the highest percentage of imports from these three countries. Given the potential for these countries to implement blanket tariffs on their goods in response, we also looked into which states send the highest percentage of exports to these countries. We found massive differences across states, with some enormously dependent on these countries and others only slightly so.

2/18/2025 - Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies – The White House in c/keeptrack

This reads to me like regulatory bodies created specifically to be independent are now not as independent as they were. This only applies to executive bodies.

While I understand what they are saying, I disagree with their definitions.

It always feels like it’s someone’s hobby and not a mature product.

Fixing nearly anything is digging through a text file that might follow a standard but never the same standard as the last text file.

Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? in c/nostupidquestions

Only historians can determine if we reached a tipping point.

BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired in c/technology
[–] Brkdncr 8 points 2 days ago

It’s hard to explain. The keyboards they built just felt and worked better. They clicked just right, they had the shape right. Once they licensed out production like their Android branded phones it wasn’t as good.

There was a device called Typo that copied their keyboard exactly but attached to iPhone that was good but they must have really copied BB because they got sued into smithereens.

I'm about to take on a large CD collection and archive it to my NAS. Are there any go-to apps to accomplish this (Windows)? Ideally, they will be FLAC or 192kbps MP3 or higher.

Lemmy, is there a community documenting the collapse of the US? (self.asklemmy)

It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

Breaking: California abandons diesel truck ban and other clean-air rules before Trump is sworn in (calmatters.org)

This sort of sucks. I think it’s related to all of the commercial diesel trucks that were on Craigslist the last few years with “all sales final” or “up to you to get it registered” note.

I’m having a hard time finding much info about portable emulator cases that are designed for raspberry pi 5. I’ve seen some for 4, and it’s hard to find the manufacturers site to see if they have an updated model or even where they are sold at.

They had no problems taking everyone’s money. Maybe companies should limit the number of sales when deploying a product tied to services they operate and need to scale.

Just saw your QB get face masked in your end zone. Not cool, I don’t know why that isn’t reviewable.
