Yep, here in belgium for an Electronics degree, there are about 10 open Electronics engineering jobs nationwide right now.

Like 400 software/firmware and like 150 electric installation jobs, but if you want to switch to one of those you pretty much have to go back to a junior level (and pay) which isn’t much.

I have. I have given them more and more permissions but they can never connect to the saned service and I haven’t been able to find a single shred of documentation about it from any atomic distro and my discord messages were ignored. There are a few posts asking about it for various atomic distro but it is very much “it works for me shrug” or “it doesn’t work at all so I had to layer the scanner app” with 0 mention in anything about the correct flatpak permissions.

I haven’t been able to get flatpaks (what you have to use on Bazzite and Kionite) to work with a wifi scanner and I have been using Linux since 2016, so not really beginner friendly. Apparently some people have gotten it working, but still, it works generally out of the box on Fedora, Mint, and Opensuse Tumbleweed I think.

WiFi printing works fine though.

But if you have a USB printer, or don’t use the scanner of your WiFi printer, Bazzite is great!

If you everyday tasks include document signing or scanning with a Wifi printer, then maybe steer clear of Bazzite and Kionite and opensuse Aeon/kalpa.

I would go for just normal fedora or opensuse tumbleweed instead.

Mint is also great if you don’t have a “fresh off the production line new hardware”.

Pi pico* (now also pi pico 2) it anyone is searching for it. Raspberry pi is the SBC line.

For hobby work altium is quite ridiculous.

I design with Altium professionally every day. It is buggy spaghetti code that they got that way by shoving more and more productivity-centered features in there with little thought.

The libraries are a complete and utter shitshow also, which is why pretty much every company just makes their own.

It works (usually) and you can design fast with it, but for someone lightly using it for hobbies, it is a massive overkill and steep learning curve to not get any benefit over KiCAD in the end unless they want to start doing multichannel complex flex-rigid designs with mechanical linked integration.

Plus for someone wanting to just do a half hour or hour of designing in their free time, the 3-5 minute startup time would also get annoying.

Well trump literally bragged that musk used his resources to tamper with voting machines.

Putin said that he hoped Trump would win and admitted to authorizing large “operations” (read: massive astroturfing campaigns at the least) the help trump win. Clear foreign government election tampering.

Not to mention that in 2020, every single republican blew up and made accusations that the election was tampered with and throughout the past 2 decades of history at least, literally every single time that they mass accused people of doing something, it was because they were projecting and they, themselves were doing it. They were obsessed with accusing the other side of voting machine tampering, if it was projecting, then they themselves were likely doing it or attempting it.

Additionally that there is a far-fetched (read, no presented evidence) report from an ex-cia whistleblower that it was tampered with

A conspiracy theory that I personally think wouldn’t be crazy is that the voting machine tampering was already done in 2020 by the republicans on a very small scale as a proof of concept, and they made a massive multi-month campaign on it, tired everyone, judges and population alike on the baseless claims they made so that when they full-scale began vote tampering, nobody would believe anyone that wanted to investigate possible vote machine tampering. They might have weaponized the boy who cried wolf principle.

I recently saw a video where someone had done the math if the sun output literally 1% less energy (or I guess shading 1% that reaches earth would be the same) and it would literally throw us into another ice age lol, and apparently models say that even that wouldn’t fix the damage done to our oceans and it would actually speed up acidification.

Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.

I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.

I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.

Yep, it is made by google to replace google fit api.

Immich!

Keeping personal photos off someone else’s server and stopping google and apple from training their AI on your nudes.

It is

However, for file transfer, LocalSend is a smoother UX and supports almost any device for transfer. It won me over from KDE connect because I can transfer things with different phones, friends’ comuters when they are here, work computer in rare cases with a portable install and no need to bond anything.

Yep

I think android HealthConnect doesn’t get enough notice as it is a kind of silent background service.

It is local, opt-in, and privacy respecting connection API for sharing data between fitness apps with fine control over what gets shared where. You can have the shittiest privacy-violating fitness app and it can’t just steal all of the data from your smartwatch or whatever because you connect the two apps via a stupid cloud integration.

Contrary to that, for whatever reason I get a hardware survey 2 times a year or so. (Running Linux for 8 years). I think it might have to do with some algorithm based on play time or something. There is little sense for steam to select a steam account that is completely inactive so it must take that into account somehow

I really thought this meme meant that Linux is running on all of those things and I though “what crackhead at Fischer Price put a raspberry pi in a children’s toy” 😂

Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)

It’s worth it to note for people switching that your network printer is unlikely to have usable scanning functionality with flatpak scanners you install (unless something has changed in the last 6 months since I tried last)

I think the issue is more that large tech firms can absolutely deal with external security in their applications. The amount of times gmail or Microsoft 365 has been hacked and leaked a bunch of client data is statistically zero when looking at their attack area.

Joe Dirt self hosting a mail server for his neighbors on a salvaged rack server is 1000x more likely to get hacked or lose a ton of his neighbors’ data than a big tech firm.

That is kind of the trade off for community hosting. There are very very few backup and security-literate people in communities.

You mean like all of the air force brass, logistics commanders, pilots, all the way down to the MPs, who have been consistent in collaborating following illegal orders to fly black bagged and chained legal US residents that were refused due process to foreign concentration camps?
