Yes, but people find this interesting because historically, Microsoft was actively trying to destroy Linux (look up Halloween documents) and even said that Linux is cancer.

There's a Black Mirror episode about that!

These are some of my essential Android apps. It's a lot, but I couldn't decide which ones are less essential, sorry. All of them are FOSS and can be found on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid (F-Droid compatible) repos

  • Neo Store is my favorite F-Droid client (F-Droid is essential, but the official app sucks IMO)
  • Aegis is a great 2FA authentication app
  • AirGuard if you think you might be a victim of AirTag stalking
  • AShell (requires Shizuku) for ADB access without computer (you need to be on wifi tho)
  • CloudStream when you are too broke to afford 10 subscription-based streaming services
  • echo unmaintained but I was unable to find any alternative. It records in the background and keeps the last N minutes in memory. You can save last X minutes as mp3 whenever you want.
  • feeder is a great RSS reader
  • Inner Tune best YT Music client on F-Droid IMO (I tested all of them I could find few weeks ago)
  • KDE Connect - connects you Android phone with your PC
  • KryptEY might be useful if EU bans encryption
  • libretorrent best torrent app on Android I have used
  • Translate You translator app supporting many sources
  • unexpected keyboard is my favorite for writing terminal commands in Termux or programming
  • Voice is the must have for localy downloaded audiobooks
  • YTDLnis is very cool yt-dlp GUI full of features + can be set as downloader app in ReVanced settings
  • and the best of all: Termux - Linux terminal on your Android
  • bonus: zotify (website) is the only Spotify downloader I know about that actually downloads from Spotify (!). It's a command line app. It can be pretty easily installed in Termux though and usage is not very difficult if you are familiar with the command line. Please read the README. I personally love it.

Waiting for a tankie essay about how it's actually an inclusive move from russia or something like that. The last thread about China blocking lemmy.ml was a goldmine.

Is that really hard for an extrovert to be 7 days alone?

I am extremely skinny and look unhealthy and kinda similar to the model in that way, even though I eat normally and I think even very healthy. My dad looks like that too. Being 2 meters tall also doesn't exactly help. Just saying that you shouldn't judge people so easily and you can hurt someone also pretty easily. Some people just have being fat or skinny in their genes.

I have no idea how to fix something like this, but what would I do is try to isolate the problem. Boot live iso with another Linux and see if that happens again. If it does, I would try live windows iso to see if it can be because of Linux kernel or drivers. I it happens even on windows, it's probably a hardware thing.

I feel like I'm posting the exact same comment a bit too often, but here it is: Zotify is the answer!

Because if the company (Valve) knows there are many Linux users using their software, it will use it's resources to help Linux. They make Proton, which is FOSS, and contribute a lot to Wine and Linux in general.

zotify is the only one I know about that downloads directly from spotify. FOSS of course.

Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.

Yeah, I love the FOSS philosophy and I would be a communist if I didn't know that in my country and in every other country where communism is/was, it became a dictatorship doing reallly horrible things. I simply don't have the trust in people to believe communism is possible without violation of human rights. It's sad.

Two things:

  • About a week ago in school, my friend told me to remove System32. I told him that I don't have it on Linux and that I'll show him how to break Linux. I typed rm -fr / --no-preserve-root, but I was really tired that day, and for some reason, I pressed enter. After a second, I did Ctrl+C, and luckily, it was without sudo, but it still deleted many random files on my system that I've had access to.
  • Once I wanted to ssh into my Raspberry Pi on the local network and accidentally entered my local ip address and SSHed into my own computer, I was SSHing from. I deleted some config files thinking I'm doing it on the Raspberry, but luckily, I haven't done any big damage. It could have ended much worse, however, because it took almost two hours of confused screaming until I noticed that I'm, in fact, doing all the stuff on my own computer. Don't have the same username and password on pc and server, guys.

Some things just can't be forgotten.

And there is still a lot of people, especially on lemmy, basically worshipping China and other communist countries.

Every easter, we go from door to door and beat girl's backs with a whip made of braided rods. They give us sweets and alcohol for exchange.

When I'm lying in bed and garbage truck pass pass by my house and it makes noise and sheds orange light inside my room. It reminds me of when I was little and I went to croatia with my grandparents. When we were driving at the night on Highway and there were tunnels every few kilometers, the lightning and noise was exactly the same.

I don't get the title.

Only good thing about windows being so bad is that amazing feeling when I finish my homework in Solidworks (🤬) and boot back to my Linux desktop.

I don't know anything about immutable distros, but any good VPN provide Wireguard or OpenVPN config that you can just import into your network settings/manager. Mullvad does.

I can't find it, but I have seen a video where a designer talked about how you can't just invert your monochromatic logo to make it white-on-black. There's an effect that will make several aspects of the logo feel very differently, even though it's just inverted.

Check out stable diffusion and controlnet.

From Vaxry's second blogpost:

However, it was brought to our attention apparently you have decided to take to posting about this to your blog.

I have full rights to do so, just like you apparently had the right to post it to your mailing list.

I didn't dug any deeper, but it seems like Lyude also published the communication between her an Vaxry, if I understand it correctly.

I'm extremely happy with chezmoi. It's very simple to use, but when you need more advanced features, it has them. It can do templates, ignoring and other stuff allowing you to easily manage dotfiles on multiple machines or even multiple operating systems (like windows on PC, Linux on laptop). Here is a comparison table of some dotfiles manager (it's on chezmoi's website, so it may be biased) Also here are my dotfiles (as a Linux user, I cannot resist the urge to share my dotfiles whenever I have the opportunity)

You haven't seen my Firefox with Sidebery extension and almost 300 tabs open, neatly organized into categories, tab stacks with three levels and folders :P I should clean it up some day

Great cheat sheet, but has a really poor quality, even when I download it. It may be problem on my side. The original on mastonon has good image quality.

https://zotify.xyz Downloads directly from spotify.

Please remove the exclamation mark before your link, you are making it an image that obviously can't be loaded.

Please tell this to my family.

I think there's a filter for cookie popups in uBlock. I'm still using the I still don't care about cookies extension tho.

Do you mean Material Design? It's getting a lot of hate, but for most apps, I actually really like it. On my computer, I would hate it and I don't like the Gnome's simplified design for example, but on my phone, I want most of the apps to be simple utilities and Material Design seems to fit that very well.

I would definitely give a shit even if it was whole OS written in JavaScript.
