Even worse than outright negativity, there are capitalists that spin negative things as uplifting because they ignore the horrible things that happen to get there causing an unhealthy dependency on said horrible things....

This is what turned me around: investigating and realizing that it is following the unix philosophy, it's just under the hood (under the other hood inside the bigger under the hood).

Aria2 in the terminal has this feature:

aria2c -X 16 [URL]

They're literally ignoring specs.... and also most of the features of gnome are the extensions, so I'd count that.

Which theme and what did you do? I've never seen breeze break.

Most? I don't think that someone who installs Dash to Panel would say most of their features are extensions, just some essential ones. I feel like you could go as far as "If any essential features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn't be using gnome."

White knight? Lmao they're right and white knight doesn't even apply here.

SystemD-less Debian lol what year is this.

Sorry what is this trying to say?

@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

free is never free.

This phrasing is specifically used around the idea of "if you're not paying, you're the product." The kernel is free, in that it costs nothing to use and it does not collect data. Free things still do cost time/effort, which is often equated with money, but those are actually two different things that are being conflated. Now if you'd said something along the lines of "free stuff still costs peoples time," yeah I'd agree with that, but that's not what the sentiment your message communicated.

Absolutely no one is going around saying that free stuff doesn't take effort.

I was trying to find a link to a supplier, could you link?

Edit: found that it's on mouser, but also discovered they're using USB-Micro still, so that's going to have to be a pass :(

Ive been using armcord with the vencord base, it's super solid and not as resource intensive.

@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

What did you switch to, what memory usage consumption caused pause and what settings were you using?

optissima ,
@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry, misread that part. I was referring to plugins, which can increase CPU usage, and backend, which you can choose between vencord and webcord.

Scapegoat excuse. Why would he admit that it was to destroy class awareness and cohesion, when he could simply blame a kid?

Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? ( lemmy.world )

Edit: A couple times I've said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I've learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free 'included in premium' audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn't make sense, unless they count accidental chapter skips...

How is an audiobook different from any other piece of audio?

optissima ,
@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

Dang youre right there's probably a huge difference when you calculate it by the second (certainly cheaper).

@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

They said "Authorized Retailer," not that they were the actual company. They were truly selling the service, regardless of legalese around being authoritized, I'd think it perfectly okay for them to say you can pay X to get Y and as long as you receive Y (in this case ability to watch cable).

Anyone using Lidarr?

I use Radarr and Sonarr for my movies/shows, and Spotify for music, but I do know there's another *arr app for that. The question is, is it worth setting up and how easy is it to discover new/similar music as opposed to Spotify, given that Spotify isn't expensive at all. And how do you fellow crewmen go about it?

I will say that google music recommendations in 2018 still has every engine I've used beat by a landslide. Nothing has correctly recommended music to me since then.

Damn that’s crazy because that doesn’t reflect their business model at all anymore.

SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tv running Android OS ( github.com )

I’ve already been paying for YouTube Premium for many years to get rid of advertisement, and I’ve been using SponsorBlock for a year or so on my laptop to skip the inline ads, but because most of my watching of YouTube happens on the TV I always had to use the remote to skip it. It helps to see the “most rewind” area so...

Just open your favorite creator on the main app or through your browser with AdBlock off

optissima ,
@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I agree that it’s terrible, and that’s what you should be expecting with ads, as a majority of the money goes towards funding the terrible YouTube experience. If you really want to support your content creators, send them money directly. $5 directly to them will improve their lives more than 3¢. If you don’t want to go as far as directly funding them, try patreon even.

I experience people telling me the computer runs slower on Linux every day, good to have yet another, updated, link to prove otherwise.

optissima ,
@optissima@lemmy.world avatar

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
