YouTube has a setting somewhere to only hold your view history for 3 months. I can’t recommend that enough.
Been using that setting for a couple of years, and it changed a bit how the algorithm recommends things to me cause if I somehow get into the cesspool sphere, it will stop in about 3 months.
I tried using NewPipe for a while on mobile, but the issue is that surprisingly, no algorithm is almost as maddening as a algorithm that went batshit insane.
I like being suggested stuff based on my subscriptions, otherwise I would not find anything worth to watch. This also helps when someone you are subscribed to releases a new video, but for some reason or another, you didn’t notice it.
There’s also the issue of not having an alternative on desktop, so you are going to use YouTube anyway
I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...
Issue is that Immutable also conveyed a different type of information. When I first heard of it, I genuinely thought it was something like DeepFreeze for Windows
I’m thinking about making a dedicated gaming PC which is to be shared in our household. ChimeraOS/HoloISO seems the ideal solution to that… Except that games thay it means that all save files of games that don’t use Steam Cloud OR write save files on Valve’s recommended directory are shared between users....
Afaik it isn’t an option in SteamOS/HoloISO/ChimeraOS and would require a more “traditional” distro to be used, which does fixes those issues, but now we have other issues, like how those distros aren’t made to be used as consoles, and there’s the issue with Steam Family Sharing (as I understand, you need to be logged with the Steam Account in each system user you wish to share the library with)
Those distros are basically focused on offering a console like experience on Linux, as in, a machine that is hooked to a TV, has no keyboard or mouse and only method of input is a gaming controller. They all start directly into Steam Big Picture mode, and there’s a single system user, all users are Steam Users. This works, but has the issues with save files I’m trying to get a solution that hopefully doesn’t involve changing to a traditional distro
It depends on the game. If the game uses Valve’s recommended file path there’s no problem. If the game uses Steam Cloud it will sync your save file with what it should have.
Yeah, I’m thinking about doing some really weird shit by sharing the steam folder between users and then mounting compatdata inside each /home so that save files from proton games are individualized.
Sadly this requires a more traditional distro instead of ChimeraOS or HoloISO, which I didn’t really want, but it offers more possibilities later down the line
last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I’m not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended. I know in a lot use cases that’ll be fine, but in mine, not so much. with steam compat taking up 1-2gb and...
Btrfs is really cool, just a warning: I had a surprise when I found out the subvolumes make a device more of a hassle to mount externally, you can’t just put it on an external HDD enclosure and expect it to work as painlessly as it is with more “traditional” file systems, I had to mount each subvolume manually as GUI file managers only mounted the root.
It’s not complicated, but more than I’d hoped for.
I don’t really understand that argument, and I want someone to correct me:
If you were keeping your battery at the ideal charge (i.e. 20% to 80%) that means you are really only using 60% of your battery during its lifetime. I’ve been using my phone since July of 2021, always changing it to 100%, preferably only charging when it gets close to 0%. Using AccuBattery I get the battery stats and after 2 years and a half, the battery capacity is at 85%.
I still have 85% of usable battery, this is more than the 60% I’d get if I was using the battery ideally. So I don’t really get this argument about taking care of the battery cause it appears it would take a while before the battery is degraded enough to hold less charge than the recommended rate.
No combined notification+ringer volume control? No non-dismissable notifications? No disabling of the bottom search bar? fair point this is launcher issue What the fuck is that shit?!
Some apps have useful information that you can glance using the notification, like Tasker or those Battery monitoring apps. Dismissing those notifications is a pain in the ass for users that use them
Related to a previous post about Thunderbird collecting 6.4 million dollars in 2022 and KDE only 200k, I’m wondering why people do not donate or do not donate more to KDE....
Yes, except none of those are the most convenient payment method for online purchases in my country, even credit card requires an international one IIRC, furthermore, it is a pain to figure out a proper amount cause it uses Euro. The minimum € 3,00 isn’t a huge amount converted to my local currency, but it isn’t a small amount either.
So you end up with something that is too much of a hasle even if you had the cash and wanted to donate. Cause you can’t stop thinking along the lines of “even if I wanted to deal with all of this the amount I’m giving isn’t going to change that much”
It’s more of a frustration thing rather than guilty, mostly because it is possible, but not convenient. KDE isn’t the only thing I’d like to donate to, but it also uses PayPal
Oof, my bad, posted the message without completing it. I was gonna say that PayPal is a bad payment method cause it doesn’t take into account the intricacies of local payment methods despite being used as an sort of international method to transfer money (The play store is a fantastic payment method for instance, almost makes me wish for Google to take on PayPal). Credit Cards are also bad cause you need an international one and it isn’t always easy to get it.

I find absolutely baffling that the red signal, the signal made specifically to mean stop, the stop signal, can allow traffic to go through it. If you really need to let cars to go through, just add another traffic light for conversions
Not really cause the function isn’t the same. A red light means stop indefinitely until the light stops being red, a stop sign is more of a stop and then go. I do admit my wording was rather poor, tho.
In my country the Red Light is a predicable function of the road, so turning right on red is fundamentally removing part of the function of the red light. I know crossings in some countries are…weird, but here, if you see the light turning red and are immediately in front of the stopped traffic, you can cross it to the median cause no traffic is going to cross it. A right on red remove this predicability, and even if you absolutely need to have this function, you can just add another traffic light that controls that lane.

As if ‘working’ in black and white means there’s any benefit to being in black and white.
There are bunch of benefits to that, just look at the popularity of monochrome icon packs. Even before the official introduction of Adaptive Icons on Android 12, the status bar was already using monochrome icons to increase visibility. Notification icons were monochrome since a while ago.
When the UI itself works without hue, you are pretty much guaranteed that color blind users aren’t left behind, how’s that not a benefit?
Whilst complaining about a logo that’s already basically white-on-blue. And is plainly a compass even to me
I mentioned they eventually increased the most defining features of the icon after a Redesign, as the cardinal directions letters were removed to make the needle and the… degrees(?) more visible.
How do you encourage that, right after complaining that part of the Safari icon is only as distinct from its background as the entirety of any Material You icon?
I’m frankly unsure how the hell would you get a Material You icon (actually Adaptive Icon) to have the same low contrast as the safari icon. IIRC it is using primary and on-primary color tokens.
again, they look fine.
Agree to disagree.
And doing ANYTHING for the sake of 320x480 in 2023 is just fucking insane! Have we addressed that, directly? The fact we’re even talking about how this style looks at original 2007 iPhone resolutions, while discussing enormous high-def pentile OLED pocket supercomputers, makes no god-damn sense. ‘It wouldn’t work as well as it did on the the displays it originally worked on’ is a complete non-sequitur, even if it wasn’t self-contradictory,
Why the hell are we still talking about this?!
Actually, the newly released Pixel Tablet has a closer than you think density to the first iPhone. IIRC each dp on the Pixel Tablet is less than 1.75 pixels. It isn’t even double than the first iPhone.
