Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.

That hits home like a cruise missile. Ouch.

Whatever idea you have to phones, you‘re wrong. They can easily make 5 plus years if you treat them right. The more problematic part is daily use and battery degradation/repair.

But google sucks anyway so I‘ll stay with postmarketOS on my oneplus6 and wait for my camera to come to life some day (hopefully).

Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?

Very interesting! Thanks for the heads up. I didnt know that. 7 years ago, they already used wine for that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44014390/how-to-generate-a-windows-executable-using-pyinstaller-on-linux#45065125

If all else fails you could also use a vm. Thats probably less dangerous than dual booting because of windows not playing nice with grub.

I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.

That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.

I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.

In any case. Good luck.

I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.

Why windows for pyinstaller and compiling?

The interesting thing is how people find ways around my politics filter all the time by using abbreviations. Is there no way to keep politics to the politics channels folks?

I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.

That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.

I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.

Their reasons for joining matrix:

  • You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
  • People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
  • their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
  • no chance the EU breaks their encryption
  • no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)

I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.

Anyway, have a good one.

Strongly agree! I switched as well, so did my wife and its glorious. We‘re both avid gamers and no issues so far. We have strong opinions about intrusive anti cheat software so that helped.

I did make a windows vm for my wife since she needs to work with adobe sometimes and it seems to work perfectly so far.

Feel free to update on your journey.

Ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering does not believe recent layoffs across the games industry have been a result of corporate greed. Instead, workers who have lost their jobs should "drive an Uber" or "go to the beach for a year" until employment settles.

Deering was a guest on games writer Simon Parkin's podcast My Perfect Console, where the pair discussed games industry layoffs.

"I don't think it's fair to say that the resulting layoffs have been greed," said Deering. "I always tried to minimise the speed with which we added staff because I always knew there would be a cycle and I didn't want to end up having the same problems that Sony did in Electronics."

Huge fan of risk-v and massively overwhelmed by analysis paralysis. I‘m in the market for risc-v hardware to develop on and play around with.

After some consideration, I will get an sbc for the hard tinkering and low level stuff and I‘m thinking of getting a tablet for regular use (browing, ebook reading, controlling smart home devices) as well as development and packaging stuff.

My reasoning for using dev hardware on a daily basis is that for myself to be able to use features, I need apps which I am incentivised to compile and package for risc-v.

I‘ve seen very promising risc-v videos but I‘m not sure what to expect from a tablet. To add to that the pinetab v is out of stock which was a strong candidate.

I know there is the new tablet from deepcomputing but its in preorder and the shipping to germany is pretty expensive. (100$ plus). The HD display is pretty awesome compared to the pinetab v but afaik the pinetab comes with accessories.

Any experience with risc-v tablets and which other offers do you consider good?

Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it.

I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search:

Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works.

For that reason, I would love to see all communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option.

Steps to reproduce

  1. make new instance
  2. add user
  3. connect with voyager
  4. type anything in the search bar
  5. find nothing

Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo.

Suggested behavior

  1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option
  2. click it
  3. see all communities with the content you searched for
  4. hit subscribe
  5. get content

I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow).

Thanks for reading and have a good one.
