Evkob, to asklemmy in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Stop, we’re just on the verge of electing our Trump-like politician. I’ve had to cut out US political news because the prophecies are too foreboding.

Evkob, to piracy in Youtube for Samsung TV Tizen OS
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

It runs Android TV, so you just need to get the APK onto your TV. You can download a file manager from the Play store (I use X-Plore) and use that to install the APK from via USB. Alternatively, you could download a web browser from the Play store (I use TV Bro) and download the APK directly on the TV.

Evkob, to opensource in Fossify Phone (Fossify is a fork of Simple Mobile Tools) is now available, adding to Fossify's existing Gallery, File Manager, and Calendar apps
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

QKSMS hasn’t received updates in a few years, QUIK is a fork which has been updated recently.

Evkob, to linuxmemes in Look at that fragmentation!
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

They’re talking about Windows Subsystem for Linux. Basically reverse WINE.

Evkob, to asklemmy in Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Nah if you’re an adult and you’re “scared” of gay people, you’re a bigot. Ignorance is an excuse for fear to a point. If you’re a kid getting indoctrinated into hating others, that’s one thing, but if you’re over 18 and stay “scared” of a whole group of people instead of educating yourself or even (gasp!) interacting with members of the community, that’s bigotry.

Please note that most people in my life are fairly ignorant about queer issues. Their ignorance doesn’t translate into “fear”. It usually translates into curiosity, or simply indifference. It’s not the ignorance that makes one a bigot, it’s the “fear”.

Here’s an analogy for you, if you go into a forest and find a stick and hit some animal with the stick the animal will respond defensively.

Queer people expecting rights and respect from cishet people is analogous to animal abuse, that is a good take! Love it.

It’s fine to use jokingly among friends, I do the same with my friend group. It’s hardly appropriate for a serious conversation about discrimination with strangers.

Evkob, (edited ) to linux in [Help] Audio devices disappear after reboot (EndeavourOS, Pipewire)
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Hey don’t apologize for offering free help to a stranger online! It’s much appreciated. uname -r returns “6.7.0-zen3-1-zen”, but like I said I had this issue with the standard Linux kernel as well.

Nothing stands out to me when I run dmesg in terms of errors. I’m not sure which part is the audio hardware chipset, so here is the output relating to audio. I’m running both the built-in CPU audio and GPU audio through HDMI.

Edit: Forgot to add my ALSA and Pipewire packages. For ALSA I got:

alsa-card-profiles alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins alsa-topology-conf alsa-ucm-conf alsa-utils lib32-alsa-lib lib32-alsa-plugins pipewire-alsa tinycompress

and for Pipewire:

gst-plugin-pipewire kpipewire libpipewire libwireplumber pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse wireplumber

Evkob, to chat in How much should I care about news?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m francophone and queer living under a conservative provincial government that dislikes francophones and queers, I do like to be on top of what rights they’re trying to attack this week.

Apart from that, I guess a general sense that you need to know what’s wrong if you want to fix it. Am I aware that I’m ultimately powerless to fix societal woes? Yeah, that’s why I cut back on the news, but cutting it out completely feels like giving up any hope of fixing anything. That’s just too much of a downer for me.

@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

“I’d be a bigot at the first sign of someone being mean to me” is an interesting argument to make.

BTW, maybe avoiding the use of “gay mafia” to refer to the queer community would make it more believable that you aren’t ignorant.

Evkob, to privacyguides in What's the best strategy for changing to GrapheneOS?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I bought this phone with the express purpose of installing GrapheneOS on it, so I can’t compare to stock Android on the same device because I never used it. I haven’t had any issues with battery life though, I can usually get a day and a half out of a full charge, and I’ve never had it die on me when I needed it. Charging is so fast nowadays anyway that it’s not much of a bother to plug it in for like 20 or so minutes and getting at least half of a full charge.

Evkob, to linuxmemes in Hot take
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Spot, a native Spotify client for the GNOME desktop

Spotify-qt, a Qt-based Spotify client

Both made possible by librespot. Not only do some Linux users use Spotify, some great open-source devs have worked to make clients for it. I honestly prefer Spotify-qt to the official one.

Evkob, to fuck_cars in Gen Z is choosing not to drive
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I have a feeling, without the data, that a lot of young people are spending way more on novelty and entertainment things than ever before while they’re complaining about not being able to afford things.

Here, in that first comment, is where you suggest that young people’s spending habits are to blame for them not being able to afford things.

Can’t you stop whining about being a victim for a moment

I hardly see how I’ve whined during our exchange, it feels to me like you’re having a conversation with someone who exists in your head and not me. We seem to agree on the major parts but I just can’t understand your obsession with tying personal finance into the struggles capitalism is imposing on the current working population. It’s largely irrelevant on a societal scale.

I really don’t understand where you’re coming from and this comment in particular is all over the place. Best wishes, hope the world isn’t too rough on you.

Evkob, to fuck_cars in Gen Z is choosing not to drive
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I have a hard time understanding how you can present this information (people working harder and longer for less purchasing power than before) and arrive at the conclusion that young adults’ personal spending habits are to blame. The system is clearly engineered to keep the majority poor and enrich a tiny minority.

Want to know where the profits from the increase in productivity went instead of worker’s wages? I suggest looking up CEO wages from the '50s to the present day, and compare with the chart from my previous comment.

Productivity in The United States peaked in the '70s

I really did want to take your comments in good faith but asking for data and then turning around to say something completely and blatantly false (and easily verifiable) is making that hard.

Yeah sure, there’s more leisure-type purchases available to us than ever before, and technology does make transactions ridiculously easy. However, the current economic situation for young adults is much too dire to attribute entirely to individual factors when clearly this is an issue on a societal scale.

@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

It wasn’t, but this still doesn’t fix the issue. I’m honestly perplexed and might just deal with triple reinstalling alsa-utils after every reboot. I’ll probably start from a fresh install soon enough anyway :P
