Me 10 years ago after deciding to go into the deepend a bit to learn Linux and installing Slackware.
Nobody will buy products
CubitOom@infosec.pubto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Quick everyone, prevent a warning text or somethingEnglish3·18 days agoOk so we went from talking about how intuitive/easy to use it is to how it looks. Looks are much more subjective and also depend greatly on theming even if it’s just using a light or dark theme.
Back to the original question of is it intuitive. For a windows user trying Linux for the first time, most would prefer a DE with a start bar on the bottom by default, some might prefer the look of older versions of windows. (Remember that widows 8 and 11 had/have terrible adoption rates). And others really won’t care much but will just want to be able to quickly find their apps.
I was a windows user for a long time. I only stopped at windows 10 cause I was sock of ads and candy crush soda saga acting like it was a core component of the OS. When I ran windows 8, the first thing I did was install an app that made the start menu look like windows 7. When I first tried gnome I’m 2012 it was so weird. It felt like if apple had made windows 8 with a side dock and a start button that took over the whole screen and these large buttons with a lot of wasted space with long transitions that my computer couldn’t really render.
I switched to XFCE and loved it, thought this was more windows like. It did seem to be lacking some features and didn’t look as modern but it was so much easier to use i liked it more. then I switched to KDE and thought this is what windows wants to be. I also loved all the settings that were configurable and how much control I had over the look.
I still use gnome for work (gnome DE is required) and have KDE on my personal and I got to say how much more productive I am with KDE over gnome.

They would further suggest that since Gandalf is a “so called” wizard (with ties to hobbits) the chat itself is some kind of hoax and that Sauron should be trusted over Gandalf.

CubitOom@infosec.pubto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me offEnglish2·2 months agoThese are all unique and different projects with their own codebases, devs and issues. If you want to learn more, try searching for their official git repos. If you want to see a quick list of YouTube related apps, with screenshots, feature lists, and links to the project pages then I suggest using F-Droid with the
IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo
enabled, and just searchingyoutube
.For a bit more details on how yo do that check out my other comment https://lemmy.world/comment/15622037.
CubitOom@infosec.pubto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me offEnglish3·2 months agoYou can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)
- F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)
- Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)
- enable the
IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo
in the Repository settings of the F-Droid client - install FreeTube Android
- Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)
- Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo
- go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the
add to Obtainium
button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release. - In Obtainium, click on
Add App
. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/releases) as the value forApp Source URL
, then click theAdd
button next to it and you are set.
My daughter loves rage against the machine and jazz24. However ever since I showed her the Sound of Music (1965) to introduce the topic of fascism and Nazis to her, she’s been listening to that nonstop. Its a great film with a great soundtrack though so I can’t complain too much. Still, slowly weaning her off. Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?
CubitOom@infosec.pubto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me offEnglish2·2 months agoI love it and yes, sometimes youtube makes a breaking change that any dev needs to find a work around for.
I use freetube on both because I can manage subscriptions better on it, and export to newpipe or freetube desktop easily. Freetube also includes sponsor block which is great.
I also keep newpipe on my phone as a backup since sometimes it works when freetube doesn’t. I auto-update freetube from fdriod but let obtainum auto-update newpipe straight from their git repo so I know I got a good chance if having at least one working app.
I haven’t tried pipepipe, it’s been a long time since I watched a billibilli vid. (BGM!!!)
Its also the time of year to start thinking about buying chicks. Its a commitment and I recommend doing your research but if you can properly care for egg laying hens then I highly recommend you consider building the required infrastructure and having hens. There is an initial investment, but now it costs me about $3 to produce a dozen pasture raised eggs.
They even textured it.

CubitOom@infosec.pubto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•theFutureOfCommunicationEnglish3·3 months agoI certainly would rather focus on making money for myself then a company if those are my two choices during work hours.
But really, I’d rather be farming and playing with my daughter.
CubitOom@infosec.pubto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•theFutureOfCommunicationEnglish27·3 months agoI can’t wait for the day that I can just send my ai digital twin to the meeting to talk to all the other ais and just focus on building my resume so I can jump to a better paying job where I don’t have to actually do anything because companies don’t need to make profit anymore just stock growth.
If get rid of the fork too.
Could probably file down and reglaze the handles on the engagement mugs. The uncomfortable mug could be used to hold toothbrushes or something and the champagne glasses can be candle holders.
I thought bitlocker had a maximum of 20 digits for the pin and only numbers were allowed.
