It doesn’t work automatically.

Go to a youtube video There is an option to view the transcript of the video near to the description in three dot menu Copy the transcription and paste it into chatgpt.

This is the best option. Love the app. But always remember to keep a backup of your tokens.

There is also ente.io authenticator app. It is available on fdroid. I think it supoorts cloud synchronisation as well.

If a lot of people don’t prefer immutable distributions, why are they made? I still don’t understand who this is for.

I remember reading a comment on youtube on another video which mentioned that the download page is an IQ test to determine if a user is worthy of using Debian.

The downloader page has improved after the release of bookworm

But seriously, the website does need a revamp.

Look at the linux mint website, it is so clean, modern and easy to use.

Debian has gotten so much easier to install since the release of bookworm, so I wouldn’ t be surprised more new users show interest to try it out.

Yes. I agree.

I just started using Linux... any great tips?

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...

I also switched to linux after using windows for more than 10 years. I still havent gotten used to linux yet. There are still a lot of things I struggle with.

I kind of had difficulty setting up my printer, I tried to install the HP drivers but it did not install. But none of this installation was required because linux supports driverless printing throught the cups service which I wish I knew earlier.

Another is the use of vi text editor, I couldn’ t figure out how to even edit the file and save the file🤣.

Yeah many more examples. It is a bumpy ride. But it is all worth it.

Yes, I am using nano currently.

But i would like to learn Vi or vim

Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

I have been using Firefox since the release of Firefox 57 aka Firefox Quantum in 2017. I love the browser and most of sites run well in firefox. But there have been a few cases where I had to use a chromium based browser.

Firefox + Ublock origin is a great and awesome combo.

I also use Firefox on android. It is okay, but I sometimes feel it is slow at loading some sites. But it is not a big deal.

Oh, also Firefox is the only mainstream browser on Android that supports installing extensions.

So are there any laptops or computers using RISC? First time hearing about this. (edit: fixed typo)

What is the advantage of self hosting an NTP server?

After all, it just tells time

Why does the Steam Deck use Arch Linux?

Please understand that I haven’t tried or installed Arch Linux yet. From what I understand by reading and watching related videos, Arch is often breaks and a lot of time is required to fix issues. But I have also read comments from arch users who claim that arch has only crashed or caused them problems only a couple of times...

Instead of using Gmaps. You can try

  1. Organic Maps (Simple and clean app that just works)
  2. OsmAnd (Full of great features but it may be too much for you). Supports realtime map update in pro version or the fdroid version.
  3. Magic Earth but i think it is not foss
  4. Mapy.cz uses Openstreetmap but it also does not seem to be foss. But the map is updated in real time.

Try magic earth. It is good and privacy friendly.

Same here. Sync is a great app. It has a lot of great features.

But jerboa is the first lemmy app i used. I feel home when using jerboa even though it is still in development.

I agree with you. Matrix and xmpp already work pretty well. There isn’t really need for another messaging app. There are many other messaging apps as well.

Really great to hear this news.

I think people are over reacting to the launch of Threads by Meta

I am actually looking forward to threads taking off. I, as a mastodon user, will be able to follow my friends, celebrities, artists and interact with them when federation is activated. It is hard to get friends on to mastodon. The software is great and is better than Twitter, but the people are not on Mastodon but on Twitter,...

I understand a lot of people are mad at me for posting this. I just wanted to share my thoughts. That is all.
