Gnome with dash to dock and the app indicator extensions.

If Windows makes you happy keep using it. You owe a bunch of Linux nerds anything.

I mean if you want root, just buy an unlocked phone. You can run Lineage OS on the Pixel phones just fine. Full root access. This VM system has nothing to do with that.

If it’s anything like Chrome OS, you have full root in the VM.

I’ve been using Termux for years and there are a lot of nice things you can do. Also, a lot of nice tablets have good keyboards.

I’ve had no problems with LDAC. There is a free software LDAC decoder in Debian.

You should be able to pair them just like any Bluetooth audio device, providing your system has a Bluetooth radio chip in it. Most laptops made in the last 10 years do. I use my Redmi buds on my desktop and laptop without issue.

It’s also worth mentioning that the VPN in question, Proton, offers one of the best free tiers of any VPN company.

As long as you have notepad, you’re good.

I’m not going to condone this, but also… haha.

I’m a YouTube creator, part of the partner program, and I also manually upload to TILvids. The videos I make generate about $100-$300 a year through the partner program, so I’m not a professional by any means. It feels like they’re trying to keep creators from leaving by putting up small roadblocks that limit our reach beyond the platform. Given PeerTube’s non-profit model, I see it as a potential future for content sharing. Though there are a few rock stars on YouTube, most of the creators on that platform make little to no money from publishing videos. There are more people like me than Linus Media Group.

Hot take: Good for them.

This will have zero impact on 99% of independent developers. Most small companies can move to an alternative or roll their own infrastructure. This will only really impact large corporations. I’m all for corporation-on-corporation violence. Let them fight.

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

My system is to duplicate to fresh media once in a while. It’s more hands on, but it’s the only option I have. My NAS will be cloned to new drives in the next few years.

My laptop has two USBC ports. No logos of any kind. They are Thunderbolt 4. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The unstable is named Sid, after the kid next door who liked to blow up toys.

To be fair, the paid version of Davinci comes with the missing codecs. It’s only the free version that people have trouble with x264/x265.

In the US, a lot of Lowes Hardware Stores use Linux on their employee computers. Most movie theater projectors are running CentOS, and most movies that come in on hard drives are formatted to Ext2.

It’s becoming impossible to monitor. I have 5G Broadband Internet and I share a public IP address with everyone in my area. I look at https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com and it shows thousands of torrents that my neighbors have pulled downloaded.

It’s a good thing that ChatGPT is only one of the many LLM’s to choose from.
