I use Plex and jellyfin, honestly, plex only stays around because of plexamp. It’s just too good. I don’t like using streaming apps like Spotify or whatever because they’re not as good

When I first saw it I thought more about voter fraud. Dead people voting.

I watched a video a little while ago , I think the only value winamp has is nostalgic and historical. If it was really open source maybe we could get a really good fork and that’s about it, I think. Maybe I’m missing the point, let me know I’m not very smart at this stuff.

Umm, I don’t. We’re a Republic, always have been.

I think it was around the time of the windows 10 beta, I was trying that out and also dual booting with Linux mint.

I remember being a little frustrated with getting games to work great on Linux, but even more frustrated just using Windows. So I thought “Linux makes me less mad, I’m just going to use that”

I don’t see a problem viewing our current predicament a post apocalypse

“chown” is a command for changing the users and groups who own a file. But the options “775 xyz” are used with chmod, a command for changing what permissions the owners and groups have over a file. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do so I can’t tell what part of the command is wrong.

Either way you can run a command with elevated permissions by putting “sudo” in front of the command. Or by switching to the root user by using the command “su” or “sudo -i” (if you have sudo access, but don’t know the root password)

Bloat is just a meme, it comes from a time when sysadmins would need to optimize every aspect of a system to get the most out of it (like not using vi, because it took up too much space/memory). You will never need to get that much performance out of your machine.

I try not to install programs all willy nilly. If I want to try something new, I’ll fire it up in a vm. I mean this about programs from 3rd party sources, and compiling from source. Anything in the repos is good and will uninstall cleanly too.

On fedora you get more programs through RPMfusion. It’s sort of official, but also not. And you can also check out the copr repository, this is more like fedora’s aur. Opensuse’s open build service also sometimes has packages that work for red hat systems.

When I first started I wanted Linux to work just like Windows. It took me a while to shift my perspective to the way Linux people do things. I don’t know how to speed up that process though.

How? I have a hard time getting above 8 hours unless I physically and mentally exhaust myself

Woah, first time I’ve heard of blendOS, looks super cool!

Dang, these are actually really good costume ideas. I’m kinda thinking of what other more nebulous fears can be costumes now.

Woah! Atom-shell = electron. I’m dumb and the connection was just made.

Saw these in a hardware store the other day and really wanted to try one. Someone should bring them into their office and see if people will eat them

If you’re getting into a hobby for monetary reasons, chances are you aren’t going to enjoy it in the long run.

I’ve heard this has to do with how light novels are marketed in Japan. Where having a title that accurately describes the content is desirable. But maybe it’s become more of a meme now.

Boost for reddit is open source, I assume the lemmy version will also be open source. Also I think it’s like $2 to get rid of ads forever.

IMHO open source developers should be paid for their work, if it must be ads then so be it.

That’s big, I’m stoked for that if it happens.
