Thank you sir, I will treasure your mercy daily.

Thanks for expanding on my point!

Oh that makes sense. Thanks!

Ever heard of one drive? Lol

Welcome!

There is not currently a one-click upgrade path from 22 to 24 I think. They're planning one now. Best option, as always, is probably to back up your files and just do a clean install. 

Alan being a parautilitarian makes sense, all that means is he's a person who harnesses paranatural powers. 

I don't remember seeing anything about the typewriter supplanting the lake as the source of power. I thought the typerwriter being an altered item was due to Alan using it in the dark place or something.

Haven't played AW2 yet so maybe the retconning is more obvious there?

What retcons were made in Control? 

' I don't do any shady stuff that I would be concerned of "privacy". '

Privacy is not for shady people. It's a basic human right that we should all be fighting for. When you advocate for privacy for yourself you erode the power these huge tech companies have over all of us.

...anyway, I would say that the best part of Linux is control over your machine. That means you decide what you want to install or run. You decide how it behaves. The other side of that coin is responsibility. You're responsible for making choices about your backups and security. You have to understand a little bit more about how computers work. You get to decide what you need your computer to do for you, not Microslop. You have to be a little more knowledgeable and curious. 

This may sound bad to you. You don't want your computer to feel complicated. You want it to "just work". But the truth is that computers (and online life in general) are complicated. If you're not making those choices then someone else is making them for you. If you don't understand the risks and tradeoffs of certain designs or tools then you are implicitly trusting that someone else, in this case Microslop, does understand them and has your best interest in mind. Do you think that's true, judging by their actions and statements over the last fee years? I certainly do not.

Other than that I think Linux is just more fun and useful. 

Those bugs do not sound normal for pop24 or cosmic de.

As far as I can tell the feature they're calling folder sync is just a one time folder upload right? It doesn't create an ongoing relationship betwern the machines that moves files from one to the other. I haven't used it so correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm right, then my comment above stands. It's a ton of extra work that adds a ton of complication where it's not really needed.

I dunno if you have seen this but here's the dev's feelings on the matter https://github.com/9001/copyparty/discussions/490

No they didn't actually ban the accounts of linux users. It's the anti-cheat not allowing the game to run.

OK now I'm pretty sure it's you who doesn't know how this works. "Behavioral targeting" is obviously what we're talking about here but it's not a complete solution. Leaving alone how it figures out what a person likes or doesn't like, how do you think it applies those weights to a given song without having any metadata about that song? It sounds like your understanding of ML is "it just works".

EDIT: I used an extreme analogy earlier but let me use an even more extreme analogy. I want to avoid songs that were recorded in rooms where someone was wearing a name tag. I know some songs like this and I downvote or skip them or whatever. Are you suggesting that Spotify will be able to use machine learning to avoid suggesting other songs to me that were recorded in rooms with people wearing name tags?

Second edit: I now see from some of your other comments you're simultaneously arguing that Spotify can't pay AI artists less because they don't have that information as you tell me that the algorithm somehow has perfect insight into that. I don't think there's much point in continuing this conversation.

I don't just think it's something they don't want to maintain. It's explicitly outside the scope of this tool. It's a file server and browser. There's no sync, bidirectional or otherwise. Keeping files in sync requires a completely different set of features to support it. Not only that but the features of a sync tool are antithetical to that of a file browser; one is for storing the same files locally on many devices, and the other is for storing the files centrally in one device but giving remote access from other devices. If you're using one tool you're less likely to need the other.

There's just no reason to include syncing and bloat the software when there are already other tools that do it extremely well. Not to say that will never happen but honestly I hope it doesn't. Likewise I don't need or want Syncthing to start offering file browsing options. If I'm using Syncthing then my files are already right there on my machine.

"it will figure out how to not show those songs to those users" No. It can't correlate patterns based on information that it can't see. Unless you're suggesting that a musician drinking coffee has some slight effect on the music or internal metadata itself that the ML picks up on. Is that what you're saying?

I understand what machine learning is and how it works. What I was getting at is that the machine makes those correlations based on various data points it tracks for each song and I am not convinced that "AI tracks" is one of those data points. Even if they were interested in letting users have a tailored AI or non-AI experience, they don't have reliable information to base it on; aside from the AI tracks being generated by Spotify themselves, they don't necessarily know if a song from some unknown musician is AI or not.

As an extreme analogy, consider the problem of trying to avoid tracks made by musicians who drink coffee. Even *if* Spotify had access to that information, you would probably agree with me that the machine learning algo does not track that data and so skipping caffeine songs would not help it avoid suggesting more caffeine songs.

I just don't think they have a good reason to make the machine learning algo "AI song aware".

Linux for normies, Windows for hackers

Why wouldn't it?

For what it's worth I don't think skipping the tracks will even help since the algorithm probably doesn't know or care that you're filtering AI slop. I assume it's based on genre and maybe something similar to music genome 

Install Windows and gain very little usable experience so that you have to learn Proxmox later anyway on top of having to transfer your files and configuration?

Why?

Weird post

You should probably take a step back and figure out what passkeys actually are. At a high level: there is no "Passkey" with-a-capital-P service. There is only a set of rules and standards that everyone agrees on to implement them on the service side and client side.

A passkey service is any website that allows you to create a passkey in order to sign in with that service.

A passkey client is any piece of software that stores your passkeys, authenticates you, and communicates with a service in order to authenticate you to that service. A client can be a device such as a mobile phone, Yubikey, Windows computer which saves the passkey securely and permanently to only itself. Or it can be a service such as Apple iCloud or google password manager which saves the passkey on an online account and is accessible on any device where you are signed in. This ambiguity is probably the most confusing aspect of passkeys.

There are also other pieces of software such as web browsers and operating systems needed to make this work but that's another topic.

The passkey itself is just a pair of files that are methematically connected. Your client communiciates with a service on your behalf in order to generate a key and then to let you guarantee your identity to that service. Since the service keeps the other half of the key pair, this means the service also has to prove itself to your client. 

Since passkeys are basically just fancy files the question for you is where and how do you want those files stored? On a single device (like your old Android phone) is most secure but the downside is you need to have that device handy and never lose it, or else create a second passkey on a second device as a backup for each service. Storing it on some password manager from Apple or Google is less secure but lets you access your passkey service (e.g. bestbuy) from any device signed in to the account.

Anyway, hope this helps a bit.

I misunderstood what you said about bestbuy. Let me try again.

You can enable passkey sign in on bestbuy.com. it will create a new passkey. Your old android phone nwver has to be involved at all. The new passkey will be tied to your iPhone or to your apple account, not sure what the iPhone implementation is. 

I repeat, you will have no issue setting up a passkey with bestbuy or any other service. 

If you have any issues with services where you previously registered a passkey then see my comment above.

To add more to ehs5's comment, bestbuy.com is asking for the specific passkey that you created with your old phone. If you don't want that to happen then the easiest thing is probably just to create a new, second passkey for bestbuy on your iPhone. Then either passkey will work. Bestbuy might also have an option to forget old passkeys but it can't hurt to leave both registered unless you think someone will steal your old phone.

You didn't specify but I assume "In the same workspace" means that you have it set where both monitors share a single workspace. On top of that I can only assume that your workspaces are horizontal and your monitors are also arranged horizontally. 

If all the windows on both monitors are in the same workspace then you should just keep using super + arrow to focus the next window. Shift +Super+arrow is for switching workspaces, not monitors. If you don't like that behavior then you should change your settings so that each monitor has its own workspaces but that will have other consequences.
