Writing this from Linux which I installed last fall in lieu of the Windows 11 update.
I’m still using both OS via dual boot, and I still have some unresolved issues on Linux, but I will fully transition during the course of this year.
One thing that is really mind-blowing is the difference in performance on my ~7 y/o laptop. My Linux Mint is just lightning fast compared to Windows 10. You can quite literally feel how Windows runs a thousand random things in the background (most of which I never asked for) whereas Linux feels very clean and… empty, but in a good way.

I do this exact thing every day but I have next to no autistic traits.

Hats off to you, then. I see you truly know your lines.

I don’t give two shits about your LiNe ExPeRtIsE unless you built at least ten >3 minute tracks in the original Line Rider.

Thanks a lot for the offer. This might become a project of mine in the future but not before the end of this year. I might get back to you then. :)

Do you already have a server deployed? How familiar are you with Linux?

No server. I just installed Linux a few months ago as dual boot after being a lifelong Windows user (since 3.1 lol). Currently using both OS but will move fully to Linux once I have some projects finished. Self-hosting might become a future project after that and if yes, I’ll come back to this community and this thread!

I.e., not limited at all.

What’s stopping people you know from taking this step?

I’m a noob when it comes to IT. (Even though in my family I’m the one people ask when they have computer issues lol.) I would really like to get into self-hosting and all that, and I think if I found some good guides I would probably be able to make things work, but it still sounds very daunting to me. Like, I imagine days if not weeks of sifting through online resources to fix a thousand little errors and issues that would come up. (Maybe I’m mistaken, maybe it’s all really easy even for noobs. Just trying to explain my feelings on the matter.)

Edit: Woke up to 10 replies lol. Thanks for everybody’s input and helpful links. I think this might become a future project for me, but not before winter 26/27 (for life reasons).

That’s such a (US) American thing. “Someone coughed when the cop didn’t order it? Deserves to be executed right then and there.” I see it all the time in comments about killings like this and it never stops weirding me out.

Good for California. If only all countries of the earth followed suit so the billionaires would have to move into their weird libertarian ocean hubs.

No. I was just interested because I’ve seen a lot of headlines about how Grok creates all these problematic images of women, minors etc., but not about other similar generative AI software. But my understanding so far has been that there’s no real way to safeguard generative AI at all, so I was wondering whether this was a Grok-only problem, and if so, how others were avoiding it.

Do other generative AI services also do this? Or do they have functioning safeguards?

Right, I tried again now and it showed up correctly.

Where’s the story? All I see is a comment section?

Surprised this hasn’t been posted yet in this thread.

100% of all jobs created since I took office have been in the private sector.

Even Trump has forgotten all about DOGE.

As a Jew, can’t you just hide out at home?

Have we seen any evidence that they were in fact carrying drugs?

Ticino surprised me.
