brax, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

I don’t see an issue with a “super” key. But what would a copilot key bring that’s of any value? The super key already does everything you’d need.

brax, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

They asked how to do it, I wanted to make sure that they knew that an application not existing in the repo doesn’t mean the application isn’t actually available.

Ah, so “Company provided service, but then ditched it and now theatres are left to buy more expensive (and likely locked down) hardware in hopes the next company doesn’t pull the rug on them again”

So Sony sold them projectors, locked down their media, and then forces theatres to buy new projectors every x number of years to keep up with DRM? Sounds like a lot of unnecessary waste…

How do you ensure you have the right dependencies if you do that?

Oh dear… So anyway lol

brax, to linux in Zorin OS 17 Has Arrived

Some people are way too complacent with things being handed to them, rather than seeking out better alternatives that match what they really want. Though I suppose some people actuallyike that design.

If it makes them more comfortable, all the power to them. But there are far better window managers and desktops environments out there both in terms of look and functionality.

It’s still a huge upgrade from actually using Windows 11, and maybe once they dip their toes in they’ll ditch this eyesore of a layout next.

From the screenshot, an ugly as fuck theme and a useless start menu.

I suppose it the menu would probably actually be functional in Linux and not just a way for them to spam Bing.

brax, (edited ) to linux in Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?

I don’t mind it, but I don’t really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don’t even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead… No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.

I’d probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.

brax, to piracy in Another reason for piracy.

Some songs get completely yanked. You can list them, you can scrape them with the Spotify API. And you can see the available countries is empty.

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

That’s the thing that drives me fucking nuts. Use 10 seconds of a song in your 10 minute video, and they get all the money for your work. They should get whatever the percent of your video is that their song occupies at best. If you’re talking/acting over top of their music, then you’re splitting that percentage in half.

brax, to piracy in Can you please recommend an easy to use music trimmer?

I thought it was just sending basic info for the sake of troubleshooting and bug fixes? Was that not the case?

brax, to piracy in Can you please recommend an easy to use music trimmer?

Yeah, now they’re doing some stupid shit with upvotes themselves. I have no idea, I’m still using Boost and old.reddit.com when I need to find something on there.

Wait, what happened to Audacity? 😬
