I hope we get encrypted hosting sites that can help people do easy automated setups. A bunch of people want something that is just create a server and go. I know several discord admins that aren’t really hardware and self hosting literate.

Sounds like a good opportunity to move from daycare to being a preschool teacher. They already have the experience.

We use AI to help code at work. it does a good job at creating some boiler plate stuff, but I definitely wouldn’t use it to create super intricate stuff. It will create stuff that definitely doesn’t work and acts so confident about it.

It’s really funny when you can literally see where it is calling incorrect functions and tell it no. It fixes it, and then 2 or 3 prompts later it goes back to calling those wrong functions again.

I’ve used Mint, popOS, and some others. I always recommend new people use the desktop version of Bazzite now.

It’s super newbie friendly. So much stuff is installed and set up for you that the average person won’t even need to touch command line. Also, the Bazaar has pretty much anything someone would need for day to day stuff.

I was really looking forward to getting to play with the steam frame soon. 😔

I’m just using the website. You can go to https://piefed.social/topics and it groups posts across instances by topic.

Heard of piefed while browsing lemmy, and people were saying it did a good job of combining communities. Before that, was a reddit refugee after the api fiasco.

I used it once or twice on Windows. Vegan just downloading and installing them manually cuz it put the files in the wrong places
