  • I tried doing a dual boot to Mint awhile back, I did the mint backup at the start like it suggests, changed some things, broke it, restored from the backup thinking it was great id already made one, and broke the WHOLE pc.

    I had to pull the battery on the BIOS to get it to go beyond a black screen when turning on.

    It was terrible.

    It seem to recall at the time recommendations about not doing dual boot, and if you wanted to dual boot, remove the main OS drive when you install Linux. Then put it back in.




  • There has been yes, but it doesn’t mean it’s the right ruling law. The law varies on that by jurisdiction as well because it is a murky area.

    Edit: in the USA it might not even be illegal unless there was intent to distribute

    By the statute’s own terms, the law does not make all fictional child pornography illegal, only that found to be obscene or lacking in serious value. The mere possession of said images is not a violation of the law unless it can be proven that they were transmitted through a common carrier, such as the mail or the Internet, transported across state lines, or of an amount that showed intent to distribute.[

    So local AI generating fictional material that is not distributed may be okay federally in the USA.




  • You can try Kotlin Compose Multiplatform.

    It can target JVM (windows, Linux, Mac) and then work on iOS and Android.

    Android and JVM are stable. IOS is alpha and works well. Should be beta this year.

    WASM support is coming as well but is experimental.

    You can do as much multiplatform as you want and do as much platform specific as you want.

    Compose itself is a declarative UI framework. Your UI is code.

    Edit: You do require a Windows, Linux, and Mac machine to build the executables for each desktop JVM app, as well as a Mac for an iOS app. Android you can build on any of them.





  • So what do you really want when you say journaling your peogess.

    Is that something like

    Recurring Fitness Run 5k 2 times a week.

    As you check it off for number one, it prompts you to leave a note about it? And maybe you can see all your notes by category or chronologically?

    Or is the journaling a completely separate thing? I can see how the two might not be done as separate things as you’re really getting into 2 wholly different apps.


  • How can there not be a good todo app???

    Is it just that there’s no Linux one but there is mobile?

    Maybe with Kotlin Multiplatform someone will get an existing mobile one running on Linux as that would be useful.

    I can’t imagine it’d be too hard given a todo app doesn’t need a lot of Android specific functionality. I’m in the middle of converting my app to target desktop/ios/android and its been going very well and the tooling is improving rapidly.

    That or someone might write a nice one as a starter project as Multiplatform from the start to learn it?







  • There’s actual burn in, but there’s also perceived burn in (I made the term up) which this wouldn’t fix.

    If you leave the TV on for hundreds of hours playing 4:3 TV for example with black bars on each side, those bars aren’t emitting light. Meanwhile the content that is shown is slowly degrading those OLEDs.

    Eventually the content OLEDs are dimmer than the black bar OLEDs and you have “burn in” with the bars visible.

    So it could still be a problem for things like static displays where there isn’t always moving content.
