It depends on what you’re studying. Some majors like accounting might require you to use Excel, for example. On the other hand, when I was getting my BS+MS in computer engineering, running Linux was actually advantageous

Timshift is to Linux what Time Machine is to Macs. It’s a snapshot tool that lets you roll back a certain file or your entire filesystem to an earlier state

ElementaryOS does it this way

Biiiiiig shoutout to the Epson Ecotank. Tank-based printers are the only acceptable consumer printers

I’ve never heard of a “repair cafe” before. Would love to visit one of those!

That’s a bomb headline 😂

Have our attention spans deteriorated so much that something like this is actually profitable???

Wow, that’s great. I don’t know of any other program that supports iWork files.

It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!

I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy

The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.

I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.

That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.

macOS, ChromeOS, SteamOS, AWS, Samsung Tizen, literally any embedded device, …

Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

No thank you

Human-generated slop has been flooding Medium since forever

Thou shalt not browse The Internet

I’ve been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It’s a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I’d like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.

Nope. Snowflake has been around for a while. I’ve been running my node for at least a year now

Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.

I thought it was going to be the Chinese lady who recorded, “the Bluetooth device is ready to pair” 😂
