Enjoyer of open source. Lover of good people. Aspiring author and UI dev.
Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend’s account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I’ve never seen this. Figures they’d nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.
Hope an alternative comes someday; I’ve always disliked LinkedIn.
It didn’t affect me, due to using startallback. It replaces start menu, taskbar and explorer. So my start menu is Win7 and my task and explorer are Win10.
It used to have a 100 day all access free trial and was 5 bucks, but I haven’t checked lately. I gotta keep a Windows machine around for art. My Gaomon tablet was able to use wacom drivers on Linux with some terminal tinkering, but it couldn’t map the scroll wheel by design, which was a deal breaker.
I was a little sad to see that my icon pack foregoes this feature, but I can’t see myself using a different one. Delta icons on F-Droid has so much coverage (10k+), are free, and they’re so clean looking.
Plus I’m using Chrono as my default clock and alarms.
Would be useful, but I can’t think of anything that would do this. A bot that scraped the chosen song’s links from popular streaming services would be pretty neat and, to my knowledge, possible. I’ve seen it done with stuff like Skyrim mods or MTG Card linking on Reddit.
Story time.
I learned Debian-based distros back in high school from a college tech class. After leaving school and getting my first job, I built my first computer (after two DOA boards and much gnashing of teeth). I sat happily in my Windows bubble for a long time.
Years later I had a catastrophic failure when trying to get clever and unlocking my system32 folder to do some tinkering. I’d had enough of Windows. Thought Pop! OS looked really nice.
But we sometimes have that one friend. Arch. Every time I talked about my OS or showed him my clean setup, Arch. If I had a problem with packages. Pacman. AUR. Arch.
I was going nuts. Did he care I was running Pop! OS with KDE Plasma using Kubuntu backports to jury rig a later version? No. Arch.
After a long and grueling battle, after slogging through mountains of unsolicited Arch memes in my DMs, after vehemently defending Debian, I will only say this:
I use Arch, btw.
I should look into Jellyfin myself. I really need to introduce myself to containers. It’s something I should familiarize myself with as a Linux user, but I just barely got done learning the basics of WINE prefixes.
There’s not much that combines these two apps together like this, but there are separate alternatives. Nova Player for hosted media (I use Plex on my Raspberry Pi), Antennapod is one of many many podcast forks (most open source podcast apps use the same layout).
For listening to android localized audio books, I absolutely love Voice. Voice does have chapters built in as long as your audio books have them. You can pick up Voice and Nova Player for free on F-Droid if you want to try them out. Plex and Pi are a little more involved.
IF you needed the storage and badly, then I remember Hiren’s BootCD used to come with a tool to scan for and quarantine bad sectors. However, this is just a bandaid on top of an infected wound.
The wound will keep spreading, eating up precious backup files. I’ve only ever used quarantining once on my mother in law’s laptop because she had to wait weeks to get a new drive, due to the Philippines flooding back then.
Also, this was an old copy of BootCD that ran through terminal prompt, not a built in Windows PE, and I believe the tool I used has been removed. However, it seems to be replaced with a few alternatives.
Two people, a cat, and a venerable bunny with a large cage. Litter and shavings usually account for one full bag a week, as we can’t really keep it around smelling in our apartment. Our cat has some medical stomach issues with diarrhea, so scooping only goes so far (he’s on special vet assigned food). Its about one bag a week for us excluding pets, with an extra full bag of the previously mentioned dry garbage every 3 weeks. We try to keep things low and recycle where we can.
I may also be overestimating a little bit right now, since we’re in the middle of spring cleaning, but even then most spring cleaning stuff goes to the free store, not the trash.
Two bags a week here. As long as there’s nothing that’ll rot in them, we try and keep bags around in the spare room until they’re completely filled. Dry unrecyclable garbage, basically.
The rubbish that exits my mouth, however, that’s endless; especially if I’ve been drinking.
Can confirm, I had a heck of a time figuring out Bluetooth and sound myself. The distro I was using came with Bluetooth hard disabled and PulseAudio by default. The wiki, these four packages, and setting my Bluetooth to autostart on login got everything working with minimal hassle.
I’m dead set in my belief that this happens to every phone, and I’m sad to see the nothing phone is going the same way.
I had a Motorola X that was suddenly dying in less than 5 hours and one day I couldn’t even connect to my service. I looked and found that an update had uninstalled the phone’s modem. Not even a factory reset helped.
After rooting and finding the correct package for my modem, the phone ran flawlessly using Resurrection Remix (I miss that ROM), proving that the battery and modem were indeed fine.
Absolutely. LinusTechTips had to issue a formal apology for dumb stuff someone had said about another reviewer, but in the unveiling of all their shit, it was revealed that they had mis-reviewed a gaming mouse.
The mouse was in prototype stages, and the LTT member that reviewed it did not take the plastic off the gliders and said that the mouse was horrible and dragged a lot. The company then floundered and had to sell the prototype and rights at auction at the next CES.
The worst part is that they assumed that a competent reviewer had the fucking common-ass sense to remove the plastic that… you know… comes on almost every gaming mouse, so they didn’t even dispute the issue.
Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.
I’ve not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it’s made of.
