My opinion generally aligns with those who are saying to talk with them so they have a better understanding and don’t try to be overly strict with parental controls and such.

What I do want to add and don’t see in other comments is that if you want tracking software, you can set up fmd locator. It uses contact whitelisting so if they get a specific text from a whitelisted contact it will automatically text back their location. It isn’t for the use case of constant tracking to see if they’re sneaking out or whatever but if you want something that’s more trust based location sharing.

I don’t think so. I think they sort of have to branch off as lemmy gains users.

I use the grapheneos pin fingerprint combo with a longer password if that fails or bfu.

No. Lubuntu is designed to use very little resources which makes it faster on slow hardware where the os is a lot of the load. If you have fast hardware, regular Ubuntu might use (making this up but the point generally stands) 2%CPU and 3G of RAM and lubuntu would use 1%CPU and 2G of RAM. That would be a much larger boost if you have a much weaker CPU and only 4G of RAM, but you likely wouldn’t notice a difference on fast hardware.

Edit: spelling

Ollama can pull info from the web using multiple sites, but yes local AIs are more prone to hallucination. Google did release Gemma3 which has a 27B model which is probably the most cost effective way to get into local models that rival chatgpt (if you can call about 2k cost effective). That was why I recommended duck.ai as well, as it has access to gpt and llama3.3:70b which will do a lot better.

You could check out localllama on lemmy to run foss ai models locally, or you could check out duck.ai as someone else mentioned. Your mental health should come first so do what you can for privacy but don’t feel bad about making compromises.

I haven’t used bluefin but it’s immutable fedora basically right? Most immutable distros do have a way to install native packages, but I could understand being hesitant to do that. The wifi issues are inconsistent, so you may find a hotel or something where it doesn’t work which could suck. For me, it was my phone hotspot. The cables being chewed shouldn’t be an issue for changing the card, the connectors are just tricky.

I’m not on bluefin but I had a display reduce issue a while back and I used virt manager with XML editing to set it manually, but I don’t remember what specifically I changed. I think somewhere in display you set variables called x and y. One thing I’d recommend about the laptop is swapping the wifi for an ax210. The intel ones work much better especially on linux and they’re like $20 (do be carefully with the antenna connectors if you do this, they’re easy to break but apart from that it’s easy). Also I fidget with the bezel all the time and it’s been fine for me.

There is an exception to this I think. I don’t make ai write much, but it is convenient to give it a simple Java class and say “write a tostring” and have it spit out something usable.

The part models are open source so theoretically you could 3d print plus solder some electronics to make one. I’ve heard of people doing that to make usb ports that also have wireless mouse dongles integrated so they don’t use up a port. I’ve never tried Pop OS on mine (I could temporarily dual boot mine to let you know if stuff works but I’m guessing someone who dailys it or has at least tried it will respond later) but typically unsupported/community supported distros work except for the fingerprint reader and minor bugs. I daily fedora which has been mostly fine with a slight issue that turned out to be a kernel bug that had nothing to do with framework and (I think) is patched now.

I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.

Same thing could work with a support the police sticker.

Definitely not my taste either, but I feel like the processor is the only real issue that isn’t personal preference. With an amd refresh and depending on the price it seems like it could be quite good.

I saw “Fuck ICE” written on a bathroom stall recently. I smiled.

I think it might just be that there are more nazis now.

I’ll stick with good ol’ wifi + mqtt.

My understanding is that both are more or less just arch, except that Manjaro holds back update on some packages and breaks stuff.

Seeding is worse legally.

A full git commit’s what I’m thinking of

I feel like their is more common. I do deliberately say its for companies because companies aren’t people and don’t deserve people pronouns. Countries seem more like a collection of people, so I use their.

If someone knows more about grammar feel free to correct me.
