True. But most of the platforms used by people around the world to communicate (social media, instant messaging, etc) are owned by US companies. So our shitbag of an upcoming President could have a global impact in this regard.
That being said, I don’t find myself particularly worried about this specific thing. Hopefully I don’t eat my words.
I pirated a Prime show I already had access to just the other day out of annoyance because of their ads.
A selection of up to 30 candidates for a ranked choice does sound daunting. Yet despite that 80% of those that voted did complete those sections. That doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.
Edit: mentioned city council specifically. Changed to more generic phrasing.
I tend to be nostalgic for the tech of my childhood. VHS is an exception. It always was horrid.
(Yes, I know you’re referring to it’s use in horror films.)
I hope it’s a positive experience when you do!
An hour old post about Windows on the Fediverse and no one has said use Linux?
Use Linux.
Almost everything on my store page is AAA or liveservice trash.
Very little on my Steam page is. This is just one data point but still it suggests their suggestion algorithm somewhat works for this.
Just an observation on that specific thing not a disagreement with the problem. Live service is trash and needs to go away if it’s not an exclusively multiplayer game.
I’m just throwing shade for fun.
Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!
Are ps5’s not useful?
I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.
But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?
I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.
I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.
That’s a new metaphor for me. I like it! And I want some chips now. Either the British or American kind.
Give up on nvidia, IMO.
I feel like most everyone* who cares about distros likes Debian. It may not be the right distro for your use case, but you’re glad it’s around.
* I’m sure even Debian has it’s haters. But I think it’s a minority.
Found it mentioned as an alternative when Reddit announced their API changes.
My guess is we’re still too small and niche to be a tempting target.
I think the federated nature of lemmy will make it an easy target when it does come along though.
Disclaimer: I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
Edit: Spelling
I hadn’t heard the term radiation fog before. I figured it probably wasn’t as scary as it sounded (to me) and indeed it’s not.
To an extent. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.
The best solution to circumventing Chrome’s bad behavior is to not use it.
Edit: speiling
It depends on the implementation.
If there’s no voice chat, text based chat participation is considered optional, and the in-game community isn’t toxic, then I might get chatty.
As long as the record is in good condition, I find the sound comperable. I’ve played the same song on a high bitrate digital audio file and on vinyl and I found both equally pleasing to listen to.
I have a Fluance RT80 turntable, and am using the built in preamp. It’s connected to a home audio receiver (Sony STRDH590) with a 2.1 speaker setup (Polk Audio Monitor 60 Series II Floorstanding Speakers and a Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer). A pretty midrange setup in others words. And I’m no audiophile, so weigh accordingly.
Edit: I realized you asked specifically about streaming. This link https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/audio-file-formats/ indicates that Spotify does up to OGG 320kbps/AC3 256kbps which is comparable to my personal audio library. So, statement holds.
Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.
I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.
VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.
