Romanian far-right candidate prematurely and falsely declares himself the winner of the election, proceeds to confuse the flags of Romania and Chad in c/europe@feddit.org

Ackshually, the blue in Chad's flag is a shade darker.

6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] WasteWizard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Just a small update, I made the switch to EndeavourOS /w XFCE4 about two weeks ago and so far everything works perfectly. Even modern games on Steam w/ Nvidia graphics card. Thanks again.

End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending in c/linux@programming.dev

Switched from W10 to EndeavourOS about two weeks ago. Happy so far. The full-screen W11 ads/W10 deprecation warnings were what pushed me over the edge.

Looking for VoIP/SIP client (lemmy.world)

Hi all! On Win10 I used PhonerLite to connect to fritzbox SIP services. I'm looking for a sip/softphone client that lets me at minimum make and receive calls. I did some research and found the following packages in the arch repo/aur:

linphone-desktop - marked as outdated(?), appimage version has bug reports and needs tinkering
viber - doesn't mention SIP?
jitsi - last package update 5 years ago?
zoiper-bin - proprietary and not transparent on difference between free/pro
twinkle-git - git repo down

None of them seem to be a good choice. Has anyone other recommendations but to try and run PhonerLite in wine?

Edit: Formatting

Edit2: I went with zoiper-bin in the end, and it works for calling. On every startup it has an ad for the pro version though. For anyone else who needs to open up the ports to receive calls, these are the ones you need for it to work with a fritzbox:

5060-5061 udp
30000-65535 udp and tcp

Best YouTube Alternatives! - Invidious, Newpipe, Freetube, LBRY, PeerTube in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

I liked freetube very much because I could export all subs to newpipe on my android. Adblock is a bit iffy on android browsers in my opinion, and newpipe works and looks a treat. Then youtube broke freetube. After about a week of it not working I stopped looking for an update and went back to browser+adblock on pc.

Sorry, freetube devs. Still appreciate you <3

Microsoft's getting cold feet and is now 'pledging' its new commitment to Europe in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

[–] WasteWizard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah... no. Commitment ends at the tip of a pen signing a new executive order.

U.S. declares military zone around El Paso, allowing soldiers to arrest migrants in c/news@lemmy.world

Never forget this: Everyone participating and 'just following orders' is also responsible, from the highest bureaucrats and generals to the lowest public servants and soldiers. Couldn't have a death camp without everyone greenlighting and then Private John Doe following orders and building it.

Good fucking luck, USA. And may god have mercy on your souls.

They don't need them anymore. Every future election will be fixed.

No, he just wants back into the background and do shady things in obscurity again. We all know the rich can't and won't stop meddling.

The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They've openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.

The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don't follow those institutions' orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.

I'd say I'm well aware how this works.
