I’m a linux nerd and I jut run stock Fedora. It’s desktop is like a phone UI, so lots of folks are familiar with it.

I then use a wireless keyboard and trackball. T

here are tons of remotes out there,but I don’t have any experience with then. Let me know if you find a good remote though. 😁

At this point just get a rasbperry pi, or some similar device, and run it as a regular computer. Firefox, ublock origin, don’t worry about ads, and turn it into a machine that is capable of soooooooo much more. Hell, any PC will work. Steam Deck, NUC, that old laptop you have laying around? Been running little NUCs on my TVs for years and so happy I don’t have to put up with that nonsense.

Invidious still wotks great for me.

There’s also Piped.

Peertube is also gaining traction and I personally enjoy that, just needs more content creators to stop worrying about chicken and egg and start protecting their content.

As someone that watches Twitch through MPV, I can confirm watching “Ad Playing” is preferable to actually watching an annoying ad.

The Linux Experiment is also on the Fediverse.

According to OSM, they’re complementary and they kind of work together:

While I think she’s missed too much, she’s quite old, and I think she should be replaced (though I’m not in her area so this is a moot point really), did anyone here actually watch the video?

This is a confusion in procedure and happens all the time.

Here is the video, go to 53:40 approximately:

lol are you on my machine? :-D

This is the part that caught my attention:

Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult.

And we do those things, not because we’re fraudsters, but because we’re trying to protect ourselves from the likez of YOU!

YOU did this, change your model and maybe it’ll be better? Oh! But! Mooooooooney! I forgot. Stupid me.

This is the fucking bully telling the nerd that if he doesn’t just HAND OVER his lunch money, that he’ll get beat. It’s YOUR fault! Not OURS!

Edit: Formatting and added about bully

Edit 2: fixing the formatting of the formatting edit. :-D lol

Sadly this. I yelled at MIL when Roe was overturned and a 10 year old made headline news. Her response was “BUT THE MEXICANS!”. They literally don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and blaming absolutely EVERYONE else.

Good news! Save it for 20 years and read it again! 😁

Pandora has amazing stations that randomize like music. I’ve found lots of new artists this way and love it.

I misinterpreted that part or missed it. With you now. Thank you!

We don’t know they didn’t design and implement it. Happens all the time where you imolement a feature, it works, there’s a regression and you have no clue. 40 min to resolve means it’s there, no way you’re building that completely, testing it, oushing it in that tineframd.

I coukd be wrong.

Actually just bought a bunch of different impossible meats. The chicken nuggets are GREAT. Absolutely buying more of those, I don’t care if they’re a buck more for a bit less. They’re so good.

The steak tips, wife couldn’t eat them. She doesn’t like fatty meat and they REALLY had the consistency of fatty steak tips. I’d eat them, but meh.

Had an impossible burger the other day at a restaurant and it was REALLY good as well. I had one waaaaaaaaaaay back when they started at one of the fast food places and it was just like chalky. This was REALLY good. Probably going to have that when I want a burger and they have that as an option.

I am NOT a vegan or vegetarian or any of that. I just think if I can do this little thing to get away from meat, maybe it’ll help. The fact it tastes quite good is a win.

NO! No bugs! Be perfect!

Seriously though, I’ve seen way dumber shit in “production” ready code.

I won’t use Bluesky, but this happens all the time. I also don’t see the issue.

I’ve told folks before, once and last time in front of developers (they didn’t find it funny) , that all code is shit. Not because they’re bad at it, but because it’s impossible to account for EVERY possible factor. They always make a better idiot. US: “Here’s this square.” Them: “I cut the corners off to fit it into the round hole and it no works!”

I’m ok with this.

Flatpak works on Steamdeck.

This isn’t a converstaion. This is comments be slung back and forth. I argue you can’t really have a conversation on these kinds of platforms and at this pointit’s pandering at the best and downright insulting any other way as every step the mods attempted to speak out and they ignored everything including forcing them open back up.

Honestly i understand how these folks don’t want to walk away fron communities they helped build, but how bad does it have to get before you do walk away?

Sadly communities rise and fall faster than the tide on the internet. Find something for you that you control and contribute to that, no some douchebag exec that sees you as a dollar sign.

Also there were no answers or conversation there. Just 3 comments from the admin, 1 saying he’d take the feedback on the lowest scored post and then 1 refuting something and the last pointing to that refutinf post.

Not sure how I move it, but I’ll keep that in mind for next post. Thank you for the recommendation.
