For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.

However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story...

Because it's one thing to cruise along with a ship and just unspool some cable into the water but a whole other thing to dig hundreds of miles of trenches deep under water.

To hell with the Alimo, rember Perl Horber!

Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.

I'd argue any method of killing a living being against their will is problematic...

Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn't do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)

Does anybody know, why the f-droid releases are delayed so much? Still on .35 here. Even play store seems to have .37

Serves you right for having such a beautiful country

Exactly what I was thinking...

reviewmeta tries to do this with Amazon reviews

thank you! more up-to-date packages sound good to me, will have to check out mint, then.

Runs great on my old-ish Galaxy S10 !

You can do a disk benchmark on the server to be sure

Just out of interest - what are you trying to do with multiple accounts?

You probably know already, but you only need one account to participate in multiple instances (as long as the haven't blocked federation)

Frell yeah!

Alright just wanted to make sure in case you don't know ;)

I have accounts on different instances as well for the same reasons as you.

I'm not sure how piped will be able to handle all the traffic when it gets more popular.

As far as I understand it - piped proxies the traffic between youtube and yourself.

And libretube uses piped in the backend. So all traffic has to go through the piped servers. Not sure if they will be able to scale this up...

Switching power supplies ("bricks") are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that's were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)

You dont need to disable secure boot, you just need to enroll the ventoy keys: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html

how would you compare Mint to MX Linux? Whats the biggest difference in your opinion?

When selecting a distro to mess around with, i just checked distrowatch to find the most popular distro and chose that (MX). My reasoning was that the resources like wiki/tutorials/forum posts would be most easily available with a more "popular" distro.

have you tried the builtin "winget" as alternative to chocolatey?

Thanks ray and hschen for the explanation, makes sense!

Also look at the memory of you haven't already - run memtest

Man, can't wait to never see these fixes on my 4 year old phone...

A bit off topic, but are there any good blocklists for qbittorrent?

The Blocklist I use for Transmission doesn't work for qbittorrent or I would have switched already.
