If you haven't had enough reasons to use https://freetubeapp.io/, you seem to have found another one now

There's this one Nazi CEO that I hope we can agree either has no soul or at least one that we could do without. Yet we're not killing him.

Killing people is wrong and while there may be factors that make it seem more warranted, nothing will ever make it right.

Nice! Might throw this on my x220 once I finally repaste and clean that poor thing 😅

That netbook is not what I would consider a ThinkPad. And distro wise, is crunchbang still a thing? Something simple with openbox or max xfce would probably be a smart choice. This thing won't be fun for builds or other compute heavy tasks. For browsing the web and chats it's probably fine

As a software guy, I love this. People building and running software products don't need project managers. We ned product owners/managers. It's a product, it has users, it doesn't have an end date.

Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.

I guess: great concept, shitty company.

Like with so many "tech giants", they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more "public infrastructure" for this. I'd love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, ... Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society's fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.

I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I've often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, ...

You simply don't get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I've considered so far

Car drivers kill a lot more people than terrorists in Germany. Yet the latter get all the lawmakers rile up for more surveillance

Does anyone have that slide deck? Asking for a friend

This is amazing! I hope I'll remember it next time someone needs one of these tools. My default camera app has QR scanning built in but now I wonder if that's going to some servers?!?

Good Riddance in my ass.

 

I'm happy with my Garmin watch for now and simply know I am addicted to tracking stuff, especially all bike rides (including work commute).

But what if I wanted a European product? Or recommend something to friends? I like the watch form factor but ma open to mounting something on the bike again. The thing is these devices tend to come with some digital services, meaning some sort of American entity getting my data is almost a must it seems. I'm open to self-hosting a backend but I doubt my friends are 😅

 

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

 

I don’t spend much time on my desktop computer but if I do I tend to game a bit. OW II, CS, Helldivers, Tabletop Simulator mostly. And of course need Discord.

I am considering a minor upgrade to the hardware and would need a fresh install (currently Win 10). I’ve been out of the distro game for a while and currently only have one old thinkpad running Debian and an X1 Carbon gen7 I want to use for experimentating/ distro hopping.

I want a daily driver OS that can play games. I also edit photos and might to the odd “flash a CFW to an old phone” or similar light tasks. Where do I start?

I hear PopOS because “it just works” but also CachyOS because “performance, muh”.

I have experience with Ubuntu (first was 6.06) and Fedora mostly but have played around with a lot that came with at least a barebones UI (crunchbang anyone?). My life has changed so I have less time to nerd out with this than I used to. But I feel the itch to experiment now and maybe use Linux on my main desktop again after some years with that mentioned upgrade soon.
