TL-DR; for stuff that is NOT from sonarrr/radrr (e.g. downloaded long time ago / gotten from friends, RSS feeds, whatever), is there a better way to find subs than downloading everything from manual DDL sites and trying everything until one works (matching english text and correctly synced)?...
Threads seems to be beginning to test ActivityPub federation, and since Kbin can be used for microblogging, this affects kbin.social. What are your thoughts on federating or defederating with them?
Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn’t run on linux because of EAC.

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they’re almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception....
Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones.

A public company means that the stocks can be freely traded on a stock market. This is opposed to a private company where the stocks are traded in private transactions. Because investors want the value of their assets (their stocks) to go up (so they can resell them for a higher value), the company has to keep increasing it's revenue
Is there an app I can self-host that will let users upload stuff to my server? I need something where I can send a link to someone, and they can upload files & folders to my server (it doesn’t matter much to me where, as long as I can transfer them out to wherever I need later)....
So I’ve been customizing my system for a few days now to look more like a mac-book, and I’ve found this program called “plank”, which is supposed to be a mac-like dock for Linux. However, it doesn’t operate or function correctly, as I use fedora KDE Spin. I was trying to install Pantheon, but I don’t think its...
GNOME with the dash-to-dock extension is all you need to emulate most of the MacOS experience. Use gnome-tweaks to move the window buttons to the left, and that's it as far as I know

I’m in the market for a new laptop. I’m currently considering the Framework 16 but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I’m hesitant to buy Nvidia....
If you want a laptop for Linux then the obvious choices are Tuxedo and System76. Framework looks cool, but I haven't heard much about it's Linux support.
