I really cant put it into words how much I hate google right now... Capitalism at its finest

The best subscription model I have seen so far is for the JetBrains products. They call it the perpetual fallback license.

Quote: "A perpetual fallback license is a license that allows you to use a specific version of software without an active subscription for it. The license also includes all bugfix updates, more specifically in X.Y.Z version all Z releases are included."

Because you need to pay for further patches / newer versions, and need to pay 12 months worth to be able to use without a subscription.

It gets cheaper each year, so it incentivizes you to pay year to year.

Their explanation of the license

Sadly this is the same with framework laptops or fairphone's devices as well. They are great products, but their price to value ratio is way worse than these big companies.

Luckily if I need devices that these companies produce, I will definitely buy from them.

You know, it is literally pick your poison, google/alphabet is not a better company either.

Of course they do, there will always be people who pirate. Most people dont mind paying for stuff and services if it respects them.

There is Baldurs Gate 3 for example, you can buy it on GOG without DRM, and I highly doubt it made a dent in their sales.

I just realized this a few days ago. This is a very big reason why i'll be keep using linux.

POV:

Linux: lets goo there are new updates

Windows: there are new updates... please no more AI and edge...

You can generate a link, which has a token in the url, so you can search while in incognito (or even another browser.)

And to be fair, i pay $10 now because i hope one day it will only cost 5. It does not seem far fetched because they did just lower prices like a week ago. (Unlimited search was 25, now it costs 10)

Superproductivity is great for tasks. It can even sync issues with apps (Gitlab, Jira, etc.) Pair it with Obsidian or any note taking app and you can forget work todos outside of work.

For the windows users: Powertoys has bunch of utilities. Without this windows is unusable for me.

I dont understand it either. I would happily donate to signal yearly like 10-15€, but 5 every month? No, thats just too much sorry.

My exact thoughts as well. Im like:

"Huhh wtf, this cant be true. Ahh it must be the Onion. Wait wat... This is not the onion..."

Our dog hates black cats, but completely ignores the other white & brown cat fr

Olive ciabatta is sooo damn good

Firefox logo with its gradient colors is really nice imo. Just look at chrome and the others, those are really bland and boring.

Shadows of doubt is a sandbox detective game. You are a detective and you have to solve crimes, which are totally randomized. What makes this interesting is that the world does not stop:

  • the NPCs actually have daily routines
  • the murderer might not stop killing
  • you can talk with anyone
  • and so much more

It is truly a sandbox! I havent played it too much yet, but i feel if i really start playing it, then i will skip going to bed!

Yeah, its called an AI girlfriend. Damn, some people actually pay for that.

Yeah, Codeberg's UI is almost the same as github, its good tbh.

P.S. i came to the conclusion that codeberg/github UI is good, when i went to sourcehut. Holy crap, my mind couldnt comprehend what am i looking at. (Could be a skill issue tho)

Yeah, its so much more interesting to edit code with only your keyboard. Always switching back and forth from mouse to keyboard is just too cumbersome.

Bonus points for Neovim: It made me understand my tools (LSP, linting, CLI tools, TUI etc...)

Yeah its so freaking sad. It could be such an awesome platform (in some sense it already is) but of course Google has to put their greedy little fingers on it.

The worst part is that it has tons of literal bloatware. I tried ArrowOS without GApps on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, and it was fast while sparing the battery! It had the original battery and I couldnt believe that it could last 2 days easily with light usage.

Then I tried PixysOS and damn, 3GB of RAM was barely enough.

This I do not understand. I am sure a ton of people pre-ordered Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty even though we know how it launched. (And I love the game, I followed all the news, but even I could wait for a fckin day to wait for the reviews)

Yeah, the start menu ads were / are 'only' in the beta build.

Here is a great list: https://github.com/nyas1/Material-You-app-list

Then you could search it up on Droidify or use Obtainium.

At first i was hesitant with kagi, like: Why would i pay for a search engine? Then i realized, on the others i am the product anyway, so privacy vs little bit of money. So i am a kagi user now! At the same time, kagi will keep getting better and better (just checked their blogs how much they upgraded in a year.)

TL;DR: Anone who sees this, give kagi search a try!

Whats the need for it? Another great operating systems engineer emerging from it even though the project itself might not be 'useful'. You only truly learn stuff when actively doing it.

One day he might be a significant contributor to Linux!

Bloodborne remaster and on PC

(Pls miyazaki I beg you!)

Yeah, if there is one thing that windows 11 does well is looks. I think its fancy.

I think categories/topics would be great as well. Maybe a collection for read later, tech, news etc. So i could sort them better.

Yeah, but until then we can support these projects. Even a one-time 10€ donation can go a huge distance, or monthly 1€ even. These add up.

P.S. To any open source devs, please allow us to donate yearly recurring 10-15€! There are so many projects to support, but i have to live from something as well.

Immich is insanely good. No more needs to be said.

Vertical tabs: Sidebery. It might actually be better than the Vivaldi native. I havent used vivaldi with vertical tabs that much, its just a work/secondary browser for me.

Gestures: Gesturify. This is just better than the vivaldi native one.

Tab tiling: well you got me on this one. This is actually pretty neat.

To be clear, I like vivaldi as well, it is my chromium of choice but with the above two extensions firefox is chefs kiss.

It should be fine I think. On Linux you can have multiple Desktop Environments installed (ex KDE Plasma & Gnome as well.)

I tried Hyprland a few months ago like this. I had Plasma installed then installed hyprland as well. During login with SDDM you can select which DE to launch.

Edit: On github it says you should install it alone to make sure. I dont know then, maybe it works? I am still new to Linux as well.

I still use spotify as well. It works for me, i just found like 10 new songs last week. At the same time, last year i listened 2hrs/day on average.

BUT at the same time, every few months i export my whole playlists, just in case, using this site.

But at the very least you can remove it

Hmm, to me sidebery with the v5 update literally feels like as if it was native, it takes the current theme of your firefox. With custom CSS I remove the top bar as well and it looks awesome.

But sadly there are people who have to use it, ex. Adobe softwares, enterprise usage etc... And yes you could dualboot, but the average why would even bother with it.

But gotta admit, its a damn good launcher! If i had to use windows again, I would install it instead of the other two for sure!

And everyone who uses it should give it a thought whether they can afford to support the devs, signal devs will appreciate it!

It is wild that on github, Voyager almost has much stars as Lemmy. I love this app so far. (And lemmy as well)

Same here and I love it!! This is not Reddit, this is Lemmy!
