MonkderZweite,

So shows get dumber with each generation?

MonkderZweite,

Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

MonkderZweite,

Who cares? Google has a legal team for such things, i don’t.

Why Even Your Local Grocery Store Wants Your Digital Data (www.youtube.com)

I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it’s impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is...

MonkderZweite,

Just disable wifi and bt if you get out of the house.

What is a .sfv file some mention here?

MonkderZweite,

I’ve grown up with dial phones being something from grandma and i’m past 30.

MonkderZweite,

Why would you say that if you think otherwise on the inside?

MonkderZweite, (edited )

unused RAM is wasted RAM

In theory. But how it is implemented in current systems, reserved memory can not be used by other processes and those other processes can not just ask the hog to give some space. Eventually, the hog gets OOM-killed or the system freezes.

MonkderZweite,

And proprietary and an old piece of garbage.

MonkderZweite,

Right, yes, they do ask to disable battery optimization.

MonkderZweite,

Never had issues with Element, Fair Email, Silence notifying me? I run LineageOS without Play.

MonkderZweite,

Isn’t this the default behavior of all(?) modern *nix init? Maybe not SysV, i don’t know.

MonkderZweite,

They use Systemd, so there.

MonkderZweite,

How are they pronounced?

MonkderZweite,

Which ones?

MonkderZweite,

Thanks!

MonkderZweite,

Convenient libraries/frameworks are fat. Because they are fat, they need frequent updates/security fixes, breaking codebase more often. With flatpack, developers can freeze lib versions at a convenient point, without caring for system dependencies.

MonkderZweite,

Busybox is just a toolbox in a distro trenchcoat.

MonkderZweite,

Gnome ToolKit.

MonkderZweite,

Obligatory useless use of dd comment.

MonkderZweite, (edited )

so why even use pv since all you’re doing is measuring your RAM speed and available cache size

This is probably why pv progress fills in a second but is only done after a few minutes. Nonetheless, shell redirect, cat, cp work fine and handle blocksize and cache dynamically.

Your worst case scenario never happened to me after years of using pv/cp for flashing sticks/overwriting/copying partitions, even with some …risky mount settings. Honestly doesn’t make much sense to me either. Again, dd isn’t some sort of magical safe handle to make the process progress smoothly. Like i use to say, dd is a skalpell, not a shovel.

MonkderZweite,

Or creepy, because others see your timeline too.

MonkderZweite,

You say the animations are too much?

MonkderZweite, (edited )

And why does a desktop environment need to do that?

MonkderZweite, (edited )

Maybe the animation a bit simpler…?

Less animation is usually better UX in something often used, if it’s not to hide slowness of someting else.
