Disregarding the DE-shaming (which, lol who cares? let people use what they like) how do you even figure OP uses Gnome? I can’t make out anything on their screen from the picture apart from the neofetch.

I can’t stand people voluntarily using gnome

How does this affect you in any way, though?? I get being frustrated at having to use it, that blows, but why do you care if others use it?

Uh, no need to apologize? I’m not offended at “Gnome being garbage”. I don’t feel any offense at all, to be honest.

I am slightly annoyed at the “too-bad-it’s-Gnome” comment, which is why I pointed it out. It’s fine to not like Gnome, heck, I don’t like Gnome. I don’t see why that should translate into having a shitty attitude towards people who do like it. I’m just glad people are using FOSS, whether it be some nerd dev on an obscure tiling WM perfectly customized to suit their needs, or some tech-illiterate noobie using Linux Mint and a GUI software manager.

We usually just import American issues but with a 2 to 5 year delay.

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.

I wish there was somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike, particularly the e-sports scene.

Unless you have a specific constraint not mentioned in your post, it would probably just be a waste of time compared to just downloading an existing rip from a torrent site. Especially considering most stuff on Disney+ is fairly mainstream and should be easy to find.

Trying to rip from Disney rather than finding a source to download it would be more time-consuming and would likely end up with worse quality than what the various scene groups get out.

That’s for sure one of the bigger constraints possible, and one I’m most familiar with as my first language isn’t English. You can still usually find stuff though, although it might require private torrent trackers or Usenet.

For anyone else who has never heard of Tabula Rasa, it’s a Usenet indexer.

Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

I am trying to slowly de-Google-ify myself by moving to open source apps, I wanna ditch google notes and evernote. I tried obsidian, standard notes, and joplin, I liked using obsidian on PC and standard notes looks nice on android but obsidian you need to pay to have sync and standard notes doesn’t do markdown unless you pay...

I love how 90% of replies are recommending software that isn’t open-source.

The maintainer sold it off to a company called ZipoApps. Here’s the Github thread about it.

ZipoApps seems to be a company who buys mobile apps to monetize (or further monetize) them. As per their website, their mission is “to find, evaluate, purchase and grow mobile apps”. I suspect the only growth we’ll see with the Simple Mobile suite is the growth of ad-revenue lining this company’s pockets.

The FossifyX fork is by naveensingh, who was active in SimpleMobileTools’ development. From what I can tell poking through Github, they might not have as much time to dedicate to the project as the original maintainer.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened?

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

They even have Ted Cruz in it (as himself).

This nightmare world we live in would be hilarious if we didn’t have to, you know, live in it.

If the author of a paper isn’t excited at the idea of sharing their work with an interested party, I’d honestly immediately question the value of their academic contributions anyway.

Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid is the smoothest piracy experience I’ve ever had. I even coached my dad on how to set it up through chat, it’s that easy.

Ah Canada, where 50% of the population lives within the pretty narrow Québec City - Windsor Corridor and yet we don’t have any decent rail service, let alone anything high speed.

I live out in the Maritimes, so this isn’t even something I’d directly benifit from, but it’s one of the most frustrating policy failures in this country for me.

I get where you’re coming from, but without context your point comes across as more of a “all cars are dangerous therefore we shouldn’t bother regulating oversized SUVs” rather than the “Yes SUVs are particularly dangerous but let’s keep in mind that all cars are dangerous” that you were aiming for.

The fact that this exists makes me so happy. I doubt I’d ever use a smart buttplug, but I’m oddly relived that those who want Bluetooth up their ass can do so using open-source software.

Vaguely conservative people love to claim that “you can’t joke about anything nowadays!!” but everytime I ask for an example it’s either completely banal stuff like this sketch, or it’s just straight up bigotry with the thinnest veneer of “a joke”.

Like, sorry that calling a trans woman a guy or saying weird shit about Muslims isn’t funny in 2023, but good god get some fucking actual material.

I prefer people posting the original source, and I’ll just let LibRedirect (on desktop) or LibreTube (on mobile) switch the link to my preferred Piped instance. I don’t want to use random instances.

I feel like most people who feel strongly against YouTube will have it set up similarly to where you automatically get redirected when clicking a link anyways. You can always offer up a Piped link in the text box or the comments as an alternative.

I prefer keeping original titles, but it’s so easy to add a couple lines of context in the text section of a post.

I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I’m tired of scrapping the web and it doesn’t help that I have limited data....

It's like reddit but the reddit part works like email. You can get emails from yahoo.com on your gmail, just like you can interact with users and communities hosted on different instances.
