Pour overs are very forgiving and will give a decent result if your new or just eyeballing measurements but also if you want it exactly like you like it you'll use a scale.

Fedora IMO is pretty forgiving and if I want my Fedora install exactly how I like, I'll follow the same steps as always when configuring and setting up.

Just like a pour over/chemex.

For a TV that can be set up as a 'dumb tv' and you can even reject the terms and conditions: Hisense surprisingly.

My partner got one a month ago and it was stupid simple to set up and asks you if you want to set up as a Smart TV or as a Basic TV.

Also ditch the Roku, that's absolutely just as bad as using the onboard smart tv functions. Theres NVidia Shield, Apple TV, or with a little setup a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.

That's so false.. That's like saying the only games Windows can run is Halo and whatever crap is in the Windows Store. Steam has thousands of out-of-the-box compatible games and Crossover helps cover many other games.

Before I got I rebuild my Linux gaming PC (watercooling shenanigans) I gamed for a solid year on MacOS. I played Baldur's Gate 3 on release for Windows through Crossover, was on my second play through when official Mac support dropped. I've played Civ 5 & 6 with friends. I've made many cities in Cities Skylines. I played FF7 Remake again. Even for old 32-bit Windows games like Touhou 6 run with minor tweaking.

Damn, I'm going to miss those messages one day on my Debian stable server.

I mean, I can see why it's brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.

Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.

And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.

Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.

Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I'm in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I'm keeping that information off Signal.

Soulseek > Freyr > yt-dlp

Soulseek is better for more popular tracks and artists and in normally better quality.

Freyr can be fed a spotify/apple music link, find the highest quality version and pull the file from YouTube music or YouTube. Then it will automatically write the appropriate metadata and cover art to the songs.

If all else fails, yt-dlp to directly rip from YouTube.

Or buy it legally. In the past I've gotten songs by buying from Artists' website, bandcamp, and iTunes.

I just want to be able to input an address and it actually take me there and not just give the whole road. I don't care much for lacking traffic data but I want to at least get directions.

I understand I can search for locations but that doesn't work for houses, unlisted businesses (recently had an issue trying to local a local clinic that we were given the address for), or many trailheads.

Same, I left just recently for Arctic after no updates for months, unfixed app restarts, commenting issues, etc.

Paid for pro when it became available because at the time Avelon was a great Lemmy app and I enjoy supporting developers but seemed to get abandoned not too long after unfortunately.

Too bad there isn’t one shaped like a broom.

On a secondhand or wiped burner Pixel too. The Crowbar CVE can’t be patched by an OS.

I don’t use Windows at home but I still have to deal with it and their ‘features’ when I work with my spouse’s desktop and at my workplace. God I hate it.

I’ve been using Posteo for a few months now. Have 2 dedicated aliases setup (more than 2 is €0.25 per) with filters effectively making two separate inboxes for them.

It does well, web app sometimes fails over to Deutsch at random, the login cookies are very short lived (good to prevent access from local intrusions), and supports 2FA.
