  • What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to?

    Jump

  • Trickhay on YouTube... Learned about him when he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a singer for his music. He's become an inside joke for my SO and I. I think my favorite is "hoop dance".

  • What is your favorite YouTube channels?

  • Redlettermedia, crime pays but botany doesn't, many a true nerd, nekkid watchmaker

  • Huh, one is holding the other in their arms. With the hubbub, I thought they'd be 69ing or something. People really have to make a big deal out of everything...

  • What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?

    Jump

  • Same deal with ave. It's fine, his content also started going downhill.

    Taylor Swift or highschool crush?

    Jump

  • Celebrities gross me out, and my crush turned out to be an insufferable c***.

  • Have you seen someone die in front of you?

    Jump

  • Not to be depressing.. When i was 5 I sometimes slept in bed next to my mom. Woke up one of those days and she was already in rigor mortis. I touched her and she felt like an uncooked turkey, if that makes any sense. Took me a couple decades before I could actually handle an uncooked turkey or like, be around someone wearing her favorite perfume without almost fainting. Nobody knew exactly what killed her, maybe just sudden death syndrome.

    If animals count, when i was about 6 my sister had a horse that slipped on the cement and when it managed to pull itself back up.. I don't think it's totally accurate, but my memory is that its whole body was raining blood a few feet in front of me. Like I remember my vision being framed by blood dripping like a rainstorm from a cloud. Needless to say, it didn't survive. I remember my dad using the hose to spray all the blood off the cement. I saw lots of dead pets over the years... Between all the wild animals and the back road that everyone sped on, most pets had short lifespans.

    Anyway, I grew up through a lot of other fucked up stuff... And people wonder why I'm weird. And if you don't want morbid answers, don't ask morbid questions.

  • Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

    Jump

  • I'd go for Jellyfin over Plex myself.

  • It's time to move to Linux - YouTube

    Jump

  • Switch pro worked without any tweaks as well.

  • Favourite DE

    Jump

  • I use kde6+Wayland. I do like the simplicity of Cinnamon, but it runs games slower than kde, even though mangohud claims they run at the same speed. For example, in Cinnamon it'll say 60fps when it's clearly in the 30s-40s, and kde actually runs the same thing at 60fps. This is with every tweak i could find, and yes, including turning on the setting to turn off compositing during games.

    Kde6 is still quite buggy at times, but I'm really enjoying Wayland's smoother general behavior over x11, even with x11 stuff like wine/proton. This is on arch + AMD rx 6600 xt. I used old gnome 2, then mate, then Cinnamon for years, but if KDE can clean itself up a little bit (no judgment tho, i get it) it may be my permanent DE. Generally when i go to report a bug, it's already reported by someone else...

  • New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

    Jump

  • There's a dozen apps for it, but I wouldn't trust them to do a perfect job. At a bare minimum, you'd probably need to keep said app up to date at all times, and it'd need to be one that runs in the background or runs on every boot or something.

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

    Jump

  • I say this a lot, but "nomacs" image viewer/editor. I take a lot of time lapse videos and I have directories of like, 50000 identically-sized images each on a smb server over gigabit ethernet and nomacs can open from a directory and quickly cycle through the photos using the arrow keys, without resetting the current pan/zoom setting (important for me), without any trouble. It takes about as long to open the directory of photos as it takes for my samba client to download the directory data.

    It also has a lot of cool little quality of life features, including lots of shortcut keys for overlaying metadata and such. It has basic image editing capability as well. The only other image viewer I use is digikam, which is more for organizing personal photos. Otherwise it's all nomacs, baby.

  • What's up with added EXIF data by gThumb ?

    Jump

  • My favorite general image viewer is nomacs.

  • YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking

    Jump

  • I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?

  • I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux

    Jump

  • Less relaxing if you know that it has actual goals. There's no actual repercussions if you fail, you just don't get patted on the back as much. If you have that perfectionistic, completionist attitude, there's still a tiny bit of stress. I wish the game had 0 expectations, but it's still mostly relaxing.

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn't perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it'd have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don't know why a "legit" TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.

  • Which movies have aged like fine wine? (either in their message or cinematography)

    Jump

  • I don't want to give anything away for people, so I'll just say that I never really appreciated the climax/ending part. It was pretty good up until that. I actually couldn't help but start laughing the first time I saw it, which I doubt was the intended reaction. Basically the movie turns into schlock.

  • acceptable screws

    Jump

  • Oh.. I thought this was satirical about gender or something. Not literally saying that those are the two best screws, because NOBODY IN THE WORLD THINKS THAT.

  • I would argue that MS Office feels like it's from the last century as well. Even the newest versions of it feel like it was made by people who have never had to use it.

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • Never connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don't do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.
