@kyle So you're taking the ownership of property trumps the greater good of the usage of property stance? >;->

@kyle I've always found a good (big) floor jack easier than ramps. YMMV. I would say with a small jack, the ramps are preferable.https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-slate-gray-70482.html (NOTE: cheap, but adequate.)Of course, getting a good jack only pays off if you do a lot of your own repairs.

@dynamic I saw it on a version of Tootle that doesn't support polls, then I fired up (the much slower) Tuba to participate.#TMI

@kyle There was a call to restore them in the forums. https://forums.puri.sm/t/recredit-kyle-rankins-blog-articles/24434?u=lwriemenJCS said he'd look into it, but that's all we've heard. Speculation has trended toward incompetence more than malice, but the users/customers have no view into relationships/circumstances.@purism communication flaws have almost reached legendary status; almost every customer has found at least one instance of poor communication.

@strypey I wish people would add content warnings to posts that contain links to Threads, Bluesky, Twitter, etc.

@lightweight @thelinuxEXP I'd feel much better about this if "free software" appeared somewhere in the announcement, and if the OSI wasn't a #Microsoft puppet.https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.htmlhttps://techrights.org/n/2025/03/10/The_Fall_of_the_Open_Source_Initiative_OSI_The_OSI_Election_is_.shtml

@xkcd It should be pointed out that anyone who reaches 110 will be around 25 years older than John Tukey ever was.

@kyle All my old laptops are lucky to get one hour on their batteries. I'm not sure the laptop vs UPS battery equation works out.

@kyle I meant battery to battery, factoring in battery life. I really don't have an answer. Just wondering out loud.

@kyle It's kind of funny how you state that apt helped solve dependency management issues, but a new hope is being presented in flat packaging, what I would call extra-distro dependency avoidance at a storage cost.

@kyle Flatpak isn't exactly a container. I guess you could call it a single app container. If the storage issue ever needs solved, we'll see how "DLL hell" gets handled on Linux.

@kyle I deleted my reply to this, because I realized it was somewhat ignorance of Flatpak based. I know Flatpak isn't a great solution where storage has higher costs.I would think that Qubes might still have a storage and security advantage. Thoughts on Qubes vs. Bluefin?

@lightweight Made with loveable AI. :-( Kills it for me for the environmental aspect alone. Loveable's privacy policy shows links back to big AI providers. Too bad, nolto is hosted on Codeberg, so not a two wrongs failure.

@benpate @strypey @Firesphere @lightweight @ivan @mayel @Bonfire I liked the early days of LinkedIn before Microsoft bought it. It was more about networking and not just ads and job listings. Of course, I also miss lively mail-lists and Usenet groups. #old

@kyle Of course, they haven't solved the plaigerism issue yet. The simplest take is that everything generated by an LLM is plaigerised.
