Evkob, to linuxmemes in It's the beer, I knew it!

To be fair, Bell Labs’ 40,000$ computer probably didn’t come with any storage either.

Evkob, (edited ) to privacyguides in Alternatives for simplemobiletool gallery and calendar?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve replaced the calendar app with Etar, but I have pretty limited requirements for calendar apps. For a gallery app I use this (which is very poorly named): Gallery

That being said, if someone knows of any good FOSS clock apps (which lets you set more than one timer at a time) please let me know.

Why AOSP’s clock, and therefore most apps based on it, only lets you set one timer concurrently is such a frustrating mystery to me. Have these devs never cooked? Have they never steeped tea while doing laundry?? In what world do you code a clock app which can’t have multiple timers?

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

GrapheneOS and Android are both based on AOSP, and calling/texting is such basic functionality for a mobile OS that I doubt that GrapheneOS’ implementation is much different from Android’s, if at all.

I’ve been on GrapheneOS for the past year or so, I’ve never actually enjoyed using my phone as much as I do now. No Samsung apps I can’t uninstall, no Google spyware, the only stuff running on my device is stuff I want it to run, the way I want it to run.

Evkob, to fuck_cars in Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Lower-fronted cars may cause more severe lower body injuries, but likely cause less severe injuries overall because the point of impact isn’t the torso (which is where humans keep a lot of their important bits and bobs).

Evkob, to asklemmy in Liftoff alternative
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Hasn’t been updated since the summer, and doesn’t work with versions 0.19 of lemmy or newer. I heard the dev had twins, which yeah fair enough take all the time off your open source lemmy app.

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

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, to fuck_cars in Gen Z is choosing not to drive

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, to asklemmy in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

It sounds ridiculous, but I always tell myself “What can you do when you live in a shoe? Move down the block, live in a sock.”

The absurdity of it helps me deal with the absurdity of the world.

Evkob, to linuxmemes in Arch BTW
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Referring to femme-presenting people as “traps” is transphobic, originating in the idea that trans women are somehow disingenuous by showing their true selves to the world. Because horny cis straight guys might get horny about trans women (and that’s bad for some reason).

Evkob, to asklemmy in Liftoff alternative
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I used to use Liftoff, I changed to Jerboa when my instance upgraded to 0.19.

It has dark mode, landscape, and support for multiple accounts. It’s open-source if that’s the kind of thing that tickles your fancy. Also, it’s by the same dev as lemmy itself so compatibility shouldn’t be an issue going forward.

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.

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

Nope, I’ve checked and I don’t have any PulseAudio, JACK, or other audio packages that could interfere. This install has only ever used PipeWire for audio.

Could be kernel related, I don’t know. That’d be quite over my head, but I’ve had this issue using both the standard linux kernel and the zen kernel.

I didn’t see anything in journalctl’s logs that relates to audio as far as I can tell.

Reinstalling alsa utils twice? Interesting and weird.

Want to know what’s even more fun? I need to re-install alsa-utils thrice now after properly enabling pipewire.service like I did on that other comment thread :P

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

So this comment made me realize pipewire.service wasn’t enabled (I had to use the command ‘systemctl --now enable pipewire --user’ as the ones you provided didn’t work on my system.)

It’s up and running now, but after a reboot I still have the same issue.
