What makes it even more crazy is 90% of projects are using github/gitlab/gitea or some other modern git platform that literally has a wiki feature built in. And everyone and their dog either knows or could very quickly learn how to use markdown to write the wiki.

If you want a chatroom at least use matrix as it's open source and privacy respecting. Though IRC is better for a community. And good old forums are best.

Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that's nicely presented( Yes it's kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).

But it's not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don't want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.

Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.

Parties and sex don't mean you're living. That's just usually something glamorised by Hollywood and social media.

This guy seems like he has a tight knit friend group and a common hobby they all enjoy. As long as they're working towards meaningful goals in their lives, I'd say he's actually got it better then his drunk friends.

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

You guys have windows partitions?

Why is it people only care about digital privacy when it effects someone in a negative was like this.

For me the basic concept that someone can sell you something with the ability out of the box to do that and whatever else they want to do with it worries me and makes me want no part of it

I know it's an unobtainable dream, but a banking app for every bank on any platform.

So I recently made a discovery that I honesty feel daft for not realizing before.

For anyone who recently moved to Linux or like me didn't think about it there are separate video acceleration libraries for your GPU! Now most of you were probably completely aware of that. But I wasn't so I've been mainly watching TV on my ThinkPad X230 for a couple of years at this point, and I always found video playback kinda lacking sometimes(stuttering, screen tearing, etc), but I always though that was due to the generally bad intel GPU drivers on Linux( there are libraries for AMD and Nvidia too). Until I came across this page on the Arch wiki( which except package names should apply to any other distro).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

And I've since had much better video playback performance that no longer has stuttering and screen tearing!

So I hope this helps someone else at some point in time have a better experience on their Linux distro watching some TV or YouTube.

Just why?

It's been really sad watching them shoot themselves in the foot like this. They seem bent on destroying their distro. Which was the first distro I really used on an old laptop after trying a few.

Man Ubuntu 16 those were the days.

People have already proven they will put up with about anything Microsoft throws at them, so they were never going to switch anyway.

Also you still can't uninstall the bootloader under windows.😆

As I Linux user I can't wait for the flood of cheap perfectly good hardware from these idiots

It is very wise to use a FOSS keyboard app, because if you think about it a keyboard app would probably be the thing on your phone that knows the most about you. I don't mean that to fear monger, it's just a thought. Plus if you look at events in the past few years like swiftkey's little user data error it gives you an idea of how privacy invasive they could or could already be.
