  • Life360 Secretly Sells Users’ Geolocation Data to Third Parties, Class Action Claims

    Jump

  • As a life360 user, I really don't know how any reasonable person in the last 10 years could sign up and not know they're selling location data. It's a free service primarily designed to track your location. I didn't read the terms, I just assumed it to be true.

  • Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.

  • I can confirm focusrite scarlet interfaces work fine, and the uv1 should be fine as well but I don't have one. You may need to get familiar with the Linux audio landscape. VSTs mostly work these days, although I only use foss VSTs so maybe commercial ones have their own caveats.

    For pro audio you should be using JACK to connect your sound devices. These days if you run a system that uses pipewire, pipewire can pretend to be a JACK server just fine. I like to use QJackCtl to set up Jack environments, although its not necessary because many DAWs are capable of setting up in the application.

    For a DAW I used to love Ardour, now I still like it but am sad that it has been crashing often for me. I don't use any of them but there are some well liked Linux daws like reaper.

    You may have trouble with recording without a preemptable (aka real-time) kernel. Afaict this only matters on lower end computers or when you have a lot of live plugins running, but using a kernel with this feature just means that more kernel code can be interrupted to handle things like fresh audio data arriving over USB.

    Mostly, you'll need some time to get everything working how you want. I agree with the recommendation to use a separate disk in your existing computer for Linux, or get a whole separate computer. The nice thing about using a separate disk is you can know for sure your windows setup is available if needed. For me I slowly left windows behind, only realizing later that it has been a year or more since I last fired it up.

  • 2 that stand out to me:

    When I successfully got virtualbox to boot my windows xp partition inside Linux because I needed to run some software for school.

    When I figured out how to use qemu-nbd to mount a qcow2 image backed by a physical block device in order to run non-destructive filesystem repair and file recovery with test disk. Did that for a while for my university IT help desk to quickly save files off failing disks.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

  • Can confirm the faking it is obvious from the kids point of view. Wasn't terrible but we'll never know what could have been.

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • Linux vtty forever! Can't cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!

    Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It's quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.

    When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt.. but it is pretty terrible (it's a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.
