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.
I swear 3/4 of the times I use a search engine is just “[random word] etymology”, learning the origin and evolution of words and language is so fascinating.
It’s straying close to Wikipedia, but Wiktionary is a useful resource as well.
Is anyone here familiar with using DoubleDouble? It seems like you can download from a bunch of services, but you can only search from Spotify or Apple. Is that correct?...
I’m looking for recently published research papers. I’m wondering what are the methods of obtaining recently published research papers apart from methods described in the megathread ?
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.
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....
OP wants to download Photoshop Elements, I highly doubt they want to do professional work. For casual use cases, GIMP is more than enough once you take 10-20 minutes to learn its quirks (if coming from Photoshop).
I’m really not one to criticize the work of unpaid and/or underpaid open-source devs, I know they’re giving us the end result of countless hours of labour for free. But even I’ll admit GIMP needed a redesign 10 years ago. It’s kinda crazy that software used to create beautiful things looks like such shit, and just the UI has probably turned many people away from GIMP.
Hi everyone, I’m In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off. I’m wondering what you guys use? My bad if the formatting is weird on this post, I’m trying out a new lemmy client...
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.
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?
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.

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.
Your previous comment really reads as “Kids these days can’t afford housing, too busy with their avocado toasts and Netflixes” which is the likely reason for all the downvotes.
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.
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.
Hello! I’ve posted this a few weeks ago on /c/linux4noobs@programming.dev but I didn’t get much of an answer, I hope it’s okay to post it here as well....
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
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
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.
