Honestly I’ve really enjoyed Zorin. It’s made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It’s been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.

Out in middle of nowhere Ohio, the only options are satellite and I’ll be damned if I’m doing to give Dish or Hughes net more money for worse speeds. Starlink is it until they actually run fiber out here.

This is what I don’t get. They already pay ad rev portions or whatever to video creators. So why is it so hard to pay ALL the content creators based on ad rev?

Do these raccoon memes have a source? I wish to go there. I want more

I’ll chip in some money for the Bill Clinton statue.

2 is correct

Microsoft is hardly one to be involved in this. They’re just as bad in different ways. But. As far as search goes, I think it’s incredibly simple to change search engines but the problem is Google doesn’t give users that choice up front when installing chrome but even if they did most people don’t give a shit and will just use Google anyway.

10am EST. 15 minutes from now.

I use Amazon kindle to have my books synced across everything but I only use a burner Amazon and make sure I have my epubs backed up on a calibre server just in case they kill that account. Never buy digital shit from Amazon especially. They always pull this kind of thing.

Thanks for the info. I’ve got. Sonarr radarr and prowlarr set up with qbitt right now and jellyfin. I’ll have to do some digging this weekend.

Is there any links/guides on how to get into the usenet side of things? I’ve been using torrents forever but people keep saying usenet is safer.

Why are your bags in a sock? Bags go in bags.

How many drugs have you taken today?

Use Smaller Cards view mode and there isn’t adds…

I stopped using pocket casts after they switched to a subscription model. That really pissed me off. I’ve tried antennapod but the syncing isn’t the best.

Man. YT Music’s podcast support is sorely lacking. I’ve been using Google podcasts for a couple years and now I’ve gotta go find a new client that syncs play across multiple devices.

I was maybe 10 hours of work into a small side project and I just said fuck it and started over in Godot. No reason to use Unity unless you are a studio that’s deep into development or supporting a game that’s already out.

Automated book grabbing is very hard imo. I’ve tried readarr and a bunch of other things. I settled on just manually downloading what I want and sending to kindle. There isn’t going to be a good automated setup until indexers get better for ebooks or readarr somehow adds support for irc downloads.

I really like Alexandria on desktop and there’s android support on the roadmap on GitHub.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it’s because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it’s bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can’t get pulled away from it. Its all about what you’re used to.
