Their android app is total garbage and frustrates me to no end. I’m seriously considering just going back to pirating my music just because I hate spotifys music app…

They make a pill for that…

I mean if every single person on earth did this, it would equate to about 253 years. (8 billion seconds is about 253.68 years) combine that with other efforts could really make a difference. Granted this is a hypothetical number and there are far more factors at play, it’s obviously not as simple as each person doing this = 1 second saved, but just throwing out there that there are a lot of people on earth…

It is still worth it to recycle, reduce, don’t be wasteful, eat less meat, all those things.

I’ve been really happy with fedora, specifically the KDE spin. Looks amazing and a lot of things just work.

I’m a sysadmin and we are in the very early stages of rolling out windows 11 to our users. Windows is windows, but I just can’t help but have observations that windows 11 looks like KDE did maybe 10 years ago? It’s like a badly themed linux distro from 2015…

Rough, and tough, and don’t take no shit!

Exactly right. If the article says “home owner shoots armed robber attempting to kidnap children” you’d have people losing their minds about guns and violence. Also people would be upset that the person owned a home…

I’m coming back to linux as a main desktop, finally ditching windows (again). I tried out fedora workstation and the fedora KDE spin. KdE looks so good now, before i atteibuted it to a windows wanna-be knock off. This was back in the windows xp days… now it looks so polished. I probably prefer it to gnome because I’ve been a windows user for so long but gnome is nice with its minimal approach, looks nice and clean. Can’t get away from how nice KDE looks though, I’m going to stick with that I think.

Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That’s one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.

OK, the guy is crazy and I don’t like him or his politics, but really do you think Biden isn’t going senile? The guy can’t even finish a sentence half the time. Can we not get someone that isn’t over the age of 70 in the whitehouse!? Seriously even 60 is getting to a “retirement” age and should be slowing down, not taking on the most important role there is in the country’s government…

This seems more likely thinking about it, before I was doing coding as a hobby. If I was working on something at work that I wasn’t particularly passionate about I may not obsess as much.

I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I’d constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don’t think I could do it professionally.

OK I’ve tried in the past to make a decent streaming box from both windows media center edition and various Linux distros. But I need something that is simple, can be controlled entirely from a remote, and has the major streaming apps (Netflix, disney, etc). I haven’t really found any solution that’s easy enough for non techie people to use. I have a standalone roku box that works ok we also have a roku TV which is a giant piece of garbage, and I’m considering buying an external roku or nvidia shield as a streaming box instead, I do have a couple of raspberry pi 4s I could use one but again I’m faced with the same issues.

If you have a bicycle already you can buy conversion kits for around $150 on the low end for the kit and a few hundred for a battery pack (depending on your needs). Search Amazon and ebay for ebike conversion kits.

I see so many people driving brand new vehicles, new jeep trucks and grand wagoneers. These vehicles start at like 60k and go up to like 100k. Yeah people can’t afford them, but they’re still buying them. They’re thinking it’s a tomorrow problem.

I suppose we should stop hurricanes by drying up the ocean… just install a drain, really horrible ocean management.

Or stop earthquakes by putting rubber feet under cities, very poor city design…

Honestly after he suggested injecting lysol or bleach directly in to your veins to cure covid I will never be shocked at the slander that comes out of this idiot.

I love this story, wish I still had the link.

Like pink mist?

One of my favorite things eas when I was a teenager living at my parents was roll start my ford ranger because I always parked in a spot that was on a fairly steep incline.
