knexcar@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Kagi (paid search engine): "Peertube results now show up in regular searches, plus you can filter by "source" to see more Peertube content."English18·20 days agoIf free alternatives make you Fever to Google, why not just use Google? It’s always free
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•“No Apple tax means we will lower prices” - Proton announces lower prices for users by up to 30% after US ruling against Apple feesEnglish21·20 days agoI thought Valve was the one who created Proton in the first place to let people play games on Linux
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI FlawEnglish32·1 month agoHonestly, I’m kind of impressed it’s able to analyze seemingly random phrases like that. It means its thinking and not just regurgitating facts. Because someday, such a phrase could exist in the future and AI wouldn’t need to wait for it to become mainstream.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto AskUSA@discuss.online•Americans, how do you feel about the latest statment from Trump about deporting legal US born citizens?English1·1 month agoIs there even a point in asking? Obviously no one likes it.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soonEnglish210·1 year agoWhy not leave the defaults as-is? They’re probably set like that for a reason.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.English2·1 year agoAgreed, just glance at the linked Reddit thread and it’s refreshing how little Linux is mentioned. I’m really tired of seeing it (and related FOSS circlejerking) on every vaguely related Lemmy thread and I suspect that’s where most of the “Linux bashing” is coming from, we’re just sick of it.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.English6·1 year agoI think the hurdle isn’t money but time, and yes it takes quite a bit of time to learn a new OS, figure out why your graphics card is running so slow, move your files to an external drive and back, find alternatives to the programs you use and learn their quirks and missing features, learn the difference between apt-get and snap and flatpak when programs only support one, figure out what a .tar.gz file is and how to install one (what was that chain of commands with “sudo make” in it), find tweaks and workarounds to get certain games working in Proton, and do that all again if you don’t like the distro (because Linux users love suggesting new distros)
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.English121·1 year agoTrying an orange is a lot easier than creating a boot USB, copying all your files over to an external hard drive, installing a new OS, fixing weird things like the graphics card having crap performance or the laptop screen brightness not dimming, learning the weird 3 letter file structure, being bogged down by apt-get vs snaps vs flatpak and adding repos (why not search and download an .exe like a normal OS), realizing that your more specialized programs don’t work, etc.
Besides, it’s not just ONE person, seeming everyone says it every time a lemon has a scratch or a blemish or too many seeds. And then they dramatize it by calling it an “abusive relationship”.

knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one chargeEnglish4·1 year agoIt would be useful for electric bikes and things that you could feasibly own alongside a car and use for 90-95% of trips.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one chargeEnglish4·1 year agoI’d love gel and lithium-ion batteries in an ebike or a velomobile. It would result in a 40% increase in range with no extra weight, making them more of a viable alternative for somewhat longer commutes (think 10-15 miles). Sure we should be serving those by high speed public transit, but this would be a faster stopgap/alternative.
Oh and it would be useful for electric trucks too, even short-range ones could be made lighter with less batteries.
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Ethiopia set to become first country to ban internal combustion carsEnglish3·1 year agoSo steam engine cars then?
knexcar@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I don't believe Auto Save feature in any softwareEnglish151·1 year agoFirst of all, it’s fine to write code on Windows. In fact, many companies have windows-only development workflows.
Second of all, many Linux programs also use standard shortcuts like Ctrl+S. Linux is more than Vim.
Who really wants to wake up at 2am though
