Working on GrapheneOS, but not a feature worth buying a new device for IMO.
I wish there was a way to hide play services apps from each other. I want to listen to audiobooks in Kobo while driving (i already own some) but the app doesnt support playback while Android Auto is running
office works fine if you use a translation layer like proton. There are also free/open source office suites that are file compatible and way better.
specific versions of Adobe work with proton, but not all. There are better alternatives on Linux for the most part.
pirated or legit makes no difference
Yeah it’s a similar situation. Sometimes assholes make arguably good software.
Also supposedly the Hyprland community has mellowed out in the last couple years. I can’t confirm, but i hope it’s true
I think there is a difference between having strong views and enforcing them on others, but also context is important.Also not all extreme views are equally harmful/harmless.
I’ve also heard the Lemmy dev has some bad takes (to perhaps put it mildly) but i’ve found the community to be mostly quite civil
Firefox, begrudgingly.
It’s the best browser from a performance standpoint, and has the features i want, but it’s still a bit of a resource hog. It’s just that everything else is worse (slower, lacking essential features, or most often both).
He moved from Sweden to Silicon Valley, made a bunch of money, but came to hate the “limousine liberal” culture, and felt he was severely discriminated against (in a professional sense) as a hetero white man.
So he left California, got sober, and went full time FOSS developer.
He is an asshole because he now enforces a strict “anti-woke” policy among his contributors, and bans anyone who falls out of line. It’s one thing to ban controversial or political topics, but his interpretation takes things way past any semblance of reason.
A wild one i remember was when he banned someone for using singular they in some documentation, which has been a part of the English language since the Norman period at least. He said it was “political language”.
A new FOSS browser made by a complete and utter asshole
This is being pushed by social media companies that don’t want to be responsible for age verification
The Wii doesn’t do 240p? or just in RetroArch? I could swear there are quite a few Virtual Console games on Wii that do 240, as well as bespoke emulators for most other consoles that can do it.
Might not be the best option if you want RetroArch as your interface to everything though.
I think it became retro when the 9th gen consoles started coming out.
To me, current gen is current, previous 2 generations are not retro, and anything older is. Many 360 models still had analog video out (as did the PS3 and Wii), so arguably it’s the final generation built with CRTs in mind.
There are probably boards that come with them but it’s not typical. You can buy a pack of 250 for probably $10 online, they are easy to come by.
you put one o-ring around every key stem. The o-ring hits the edge of the switch after it actuates but before the key bottoms out, so you hear rubber on plastic rather than plastic on plastic
I saw some images online with people using two o-rings, but i’m not sure if there is any point to doing so. Perhaps for very tall key caps.
Stability in the sense of: my computer does the thing i expect with the hardware i happen to have, every time, over many years.
I agree Debian is up there. I only mentioned Arch because of the massive userbase. I think Debian is a little more technical (for a new user with limited time and attention) than Ubuntu or Fedora, but much less so than Arch
Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch are undoubtedly the big 4 Linux distros in terms of long term community, stability, and documentation
Fedora or Ubuntu. No need to overthink it. They are the two biggest distros in popularity by far (except Arch, which probably beats Fedora), so you have access to maximum mindshare and previous troubleshooting.
Including Arch, these three distros are among the most polished, stable, and well-documented. Arch takes quite a bit more effort, so a beginner without much time on their hands should start with Ubuntu or Fedora.
Probably a bit better than Windows but ultimately with Apple you can’t know for sure. Their software is proprietary and closed source, so it cant be properly audited by a third party.
Apple can claim whatever they like about privacy, it comes down to whether you take their word for it or not. Personally, i think Apple has been caught being dishonest about their software more than most tech companies, so i take their claims with a heap of salt.
If you want something that can actually be proven to be secure, the only real option is an Open-source (and ideally FOSS) platform. Anything that can’t be audited can’t really be trusted.
For a laptop or desktop, Ubuntu is a safe, secure, well-audited option. Mint and Fedora are also good options for most hardware. There are good DAWs available on Linux but perhaps not the exact one your friend is used to.
I would suggest anyone new to Linux to back up or remove their ssd, and install Linux on a second or new ssd to reduce the chance of accidentally wiping your data. A new OS is like getting a new computer, and you need to save your data externally before you start the process.
Edit: I’m aware that some parts of macOS are technically open-source, but that’s almost meaningless from a security perspective when critical parts of the OS aren’t open. Darwin being secure doesn’t make the whole OS secure when network manager is still a black box (for example)
haha my bad, idk why i thought i read Amanita
according to iNat observations A. phalloides is found in that area, though uncommon
is that right? i thought it was safe to chew up death caps as long as you dont swallow any
I dont think you can absorb it through your skin regardless. At least, afaik. I’ve been handling them with bare hands every season for years now, hopefully i’m not doomed
A sweet find either way! Both are quite tasty
Chantrelles grow on soil, oysters grow on rotting wood, but sometimes oysters growing shallowly-buried roots can appear to be sprouting from the soil
AI one has an extra chain on the lady on the bottom right. I wouldn’t be interested in a game made with AI and that would be a dead giveaway
