I’ve seen a couple of these articles, does anyone know why they choose to aggregate their articles into one page?

So long as it is actually a peaceful protest, I see no issue with them speaking their mind. You can disagree with someone’s politics, but it should not enable you to condemn their ability to express themselves. If however them protesting becomes violent, then I could agree with such a ban, but there would have to be a lenient definition on violent since otherwise it becomes easily susceptible to false flags.

Since you are going the dual boot route, I highly recommend that you keep the OS’s on separate drives and never use systemd, or GRUB boot for windows, ie always switch your boot order in your uefi. This is mainly because there are countless formatting and system repair issues with using one drive, and regardless of where the OS’s are, windows has a strong tendency to overwrite your Linux bootloader.

I also do some video/photo stuff, which don’t have Linux-native versions. I use Affinity (v2 and the newly-released version), Magix Vegas, and Wondershare Filmora. I don’t know if it’d be possible to run any of them in a virtual machine or something. I have tried the Linux-native alternatives, and while they have their merits, I won’t be able to use them as full replacements.

The unfortunate thing is if this is non-negotiable, I think this will kill your Linux dreams at the moment. At the moment, the only ways I know how to run these well is on a VM with GPU pass through which is a pain for people who have tinkered with Linux for ages and damn near system breaking for the average user.

Now, perhaps unusually for a newbie, when it comes to wanting something I’m familiar with, I’m actually not bothered by having an envirnment which resembles Windows. In fact, I think it’d probably be a plus if the distro does things differently. It’s fun to try different things, and if someone’s genuinely thought “this is a better way of doing this”, then I’m happy to give it a go. As long as there’s decent documentation. I’m not allergic to the idea of the terminal or otherwise having to use typed commands (I have a Raycast-ish-like app on Windows which I use to launch apps and search for files, for example), but I’m also not very experienced with that and would need very good, very newbie-friendly documentation.

If the previous part isn’t a deal breaker, based upon this part of your post, I would highly recommend running endeavor os or cachy os which are both run on an arch base. My preferred of the two is endeavor since it is essentially just a base arch install without the hassle that is installing arch. Using one of these distros will require you to familiarize yourself with the package manager pacman and the aur wrapper that they use, but that is the extent of CLI interaction that is needed. This will allow you to have a hassle free install while having the tinkering capabilities that arch is known for, just don’t touch anything that requires sudo without making sure you understand what it is doing.

I guess it is a matter of semantics at this point, but i take the year of the Linux phone to be when a phone running a Linux os is viable for the masses, which as my original message states is at least 10 years out.

The standard for banks like capital one is, in order to login in a browser you must use their app 2fa, they do not support third party 2fa methods, and their app doesn’t work under compatibility layers. That last part may come with a workaround, but my earlier point is that the normal end user wouldn’t feel comfortable using such a thing if it is not officially allowed.

They also claim you can use 2fa by SMS, but that is first and foremost wrong since it isn’t an option for payment portals, and secondly insecure.

How do you deal with 2fa? For capital one in particular, I don’t believe there is an option not to use their app, and the other banks that I use are in the same boat or adamantly recommend to use their app.

More like 2026 + 10, Linux phones are severely lagging behind, enough so that they are at least 10 years away from having enough adoption for banks and the like to recognize their existence, the annoying truth is that it cannot be mainstream until it is able to use these critical apps with no workarounds as “it works but isn’t allowed” will be the death knell of any amount of mainstream appeal.

That means, if l’m coding in python, there’s a documentation page, if l code in javascript, it’s got a documentation page, like that ??😃😃

Yes that is correct, in particular Python’s doc.page is here python, and JavaScript’s one is a bit different though due to its relationship to markdown languages like HTML, I do not believe oracle publishes a doc page for it specifically.

A doc page is short for documentation page, it is a website, which is normally maintained by the language you are coding in, that shows you all of the syntax that you could possibly need for any given function. My reference to ai is that it is sometimes nice to ask ai how a function works if you are having trouble understanding it, but in general the doc pages already do a good job of that, and crucially shouldn’t be wrong.

In what way, is it too much techinese? If so, please tell me which aspects you are unfamiliar with and I would be happy to clarify

Are you trying to look for something like nitrotype? If so, what issue do you have with that, it is best not to reinvent the wheel. If you want something to be oss then I would recommend not taking the easy way out and learn to code in one of the c languages or java and make it yourself; if it was not your intention to allocate a minimum of approx 50 hrs of learning and development time I would recommend asking for interested parties by way of commissioning if necessary. In my experience having a project to work on helps you learn coding very quickly, I would highly recommend doing it without the use of ai generated code, in my experience it is only useful for recommendations on your own code or as a makeshift interactive doc page, but in general the official doc pages are just as easy to understand and have no chance of being irrelevant.

I think you got your groups a little mixed up,

America: invades foreign countries and kills innocent people.

Mentally ill warhawks: it’s for a valid reason we swear!

China: has military presence just outside of its borders.

Freedom conscious people: OMG guys the evil communist dictators are going to destroy the world!!

There’s quite a bit of overlap with these groups and liberals, but I wouldn’t say liberals in general hold these opinions.

I’m not saying I’m OK with it, but I am saying that this data collection on game servers can be negated by not sharing information over in game chat. The rule I follow is that game chat is for talking about specifically the game or a discussing what platform we should communicate on instead; the unfortunate thing is that this ai would potentially compromise other services like your preferred messaging app. All in all, there doesn’t appear to be any reason to stop using cross play servers from a data privacy perspective.

I fail to see how this ai isn’t a legitimate service, sure me and a lot of other people don’t want it, but there is an actual use case for it. It is very obvious to most of us here that it is a data collection scheme, but the data that a game server has on you should be unimportant, if it isn’t that is a failing on you for either playing such an invasive game or a failing on the game developer for making such information easily obtainable, either way this is not an issue for gamers who restrict the private information they share.

If that is what was meant, this is nothing new, server hosts have had this information and more for ages, and your gamertag is by no means priveledged information. I am having trouble trying to figure out how this change affects my willingness to play on cross play servers, as others have pointed out however I would be wary of compromised devices with privelidged data like banks or HR which I realistically have no way to protect myself from.

If the code is good I don’t have an issue with it being merged even if ai was used, that being said I bet the obvious outcome is that either people ignore the policy and nothing changes or they comply and most reviewers focus on the non-ai group which is how it was before ai. All in all, this decision can never hurt the development, since as far as I am aware there is no requirement to review an MR.

Could you expand a bit, I understand that their systems are compromised, but how does that provide information to them about you if you play a game together. Unless you are just referring to the information that a server host or your friend would know anyway.

You are assuming their ai hallucinating or maliscous devs won’t push updates that break user choice.
