but I’ve been standardising my library on AV1

I remember getting a copy of American Pie 2 off Kazaa or edonkey and it literally being handycamed in a theatre with people laughing and getting up and walking past the camera during the movie

Is there a reason for not being centrally distributed like on flathub and fdroid?

my kids have grown up with my adblocked version of the internet, when they connect to other internet thats not a filtered feed they get annoyed by ads in their games and on their videos

this is precisely my setup too.

Wife can even get to them when she’s out because she has tailscale connecting her phone to the home network via my headscale control node, not that she could tell you that

more in-between like Waterfox

is that one still owned by an advertising company?

risk of being eaten

yeah they were

odds are pretty good these days, and if you’re worried dont switch now, but next time you buy hardware buy it with the intention that you may switch and opt for some Linux friendly hardware, which is pretty simple - avoid nvidia and realtek (avoid realtek on windows too if I’m being honest), make sure things are compatible with standards.

waydroid wont pass widevine beyond Level 3 which limits you to 720p, same as using firefox or chrome on desktop

are USB-C ports that do display using displayport standards to do it anyway?

displayport is starting to appear on some higher end tvs

why the hell aren’t people running this shit in isolated containers?

Have you used windows recently? Microsoft doesnt bother implementing anything, the last 30% of the product is controlled by pwsh cmdlets. I spend just as much time in the terminal on Windows as I do on Linux

I get the impression a lot of people think that framework are a lot bigger than they actually are, in reality they are not much more than a start up

All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I’m a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I’ve played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

(Yellow circle with white “W” on it)

thats the wayland icon, for whatever running it didnt map the icon

I’m not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?

don’t stream, download your porn from usenet like a civilised person

Here in Australia, they are almost gone. Disney doesn’t release anymore and other studios only release the biggest of titles, smaller movies get less and less releases. Some TV shows only get DVD. Its got me importing discs for things I really want and importing a lot of stuff from the high seas

you don’t need my permission mate, I honestly don’t know why I have earned your derision??
