  • If the performance was even the slightest bit off an appearance like could have easily come off like nostalgia-bait, but it truly felt like this was SAM's episode and he was a hologram in a history computer.

  • Youlag (v4.2.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles, now with DeArrow support to combat clickbait

    Jump

  • Last time I looked into it something wasn't working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I'll give it another go...

  • Youlag (v4.2.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles, now with DeArrow support to combat clickbait

    Jump

  • Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer...

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • It was about a year ago so maybe it's improved since then. One specific hiccup I recall with Mint that I didn't have with Bazzite was getting acceleration in a browser. I'm certainly not recommending Nvidia users avoid Mint!

  • This is the content I come here for 🖖/5

  • I Love Sideloading

    Jump

  • I agree with this. It's installing an app. Installing a program to a computer you own should never be considered "unofficial"!

  • In Another Thread about ‘D S 9’ & Challenged Characters, I Came-Up with This Why This Series Not Happened Yet, & Thus An Idea for A Brandnew ‘Star Trek’ Series

    Jump

  • I was hoping that's what something like the Section 312 movie might be about since genetically altered people seem to be the only true "outcasts" in the Federation (at lease on paper).

    Jump

  • An excellent episode and would easily have been my favorite for the season if not for "Vox in Excelso".

  • Is Home Assistant the recommended default for smart homes?

    Jump

  • As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

    But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.

  • Two snowy roads in New York. One exposed to traffic and one not.

    Jump

  • Anywhere you see piles of snow it should be turned into pedestrian only space (since it's obvious the cars don't need it)

  • Fairphone 6 review: cheaper, repairable and longer-lasting Android

    Jump

  • Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

  • Reddit mods immediately delete Post about Eppsteins private Email leak(s)

    Jump

  • Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn't have it honestly

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.

    To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • Bazzite 100%. It's the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).

  • Signal Contingency Plan (spoiler: it's Delta Chat)

    Jump

  • deltachat will leak metadata everywhere

    Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

  • Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'

    Jump

  • I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

    While I wouldn't say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

  • Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown - Official Game Mechanics Deep Dive: Rebuilding Trailer

    Jump

  • Same. It seems almost too good to be true.

  • Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off

    Jump

  • Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I'd use it but only in rare circumstances.

  • No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • Every platform is going to have someone trying to exploit it.

    Reddit turned to shit because the people who own it allowed it to.

    The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time...

    When we say "Fuck AI" are we inadvertently helping the "AI" companies by referring to their products as "AI"?

    "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."
