chitak166, to linux in New laptop

I highly recommend checking out old.reddit.com/r/LaptopDeals/ daily until you find something that meets your needs and budget.

Soulseek with Nicotine+.

There’s a lossless filter.

chitak166, to linux in What is the point of dbus?

I’m a firm believer that the vast majority of things we needed for software were implemented by the 2000s.

Usually, people who don’t understand what they’re doing will overcomplicate things to cover-up their misunderstandings. I think choosing a technology before you have a use-case is one of these examples.

chitak166, (edited ) to linux in Experience with KDE on Fedora?

I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

chitak166, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

What happened to the notification light?

My Orbic Myra 5G has one, and I got it for free.

chitak166, (edited ) to asklemmy in Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

No. The artists I like are pretty much universally good people because they’re not wildly successful and had to mature in order to survive. I can’t think of a single artist I am a fan of who has done things that would cause me to question the integrity of their character or reassess their work.

Usually people who have this issue are ones who listen to shitty music or like shitty actors that only care about making money and being superior to others.

It’s no surprise to me that people like R Kelly pee on teenage girls, or Chris Brown beats women, or David Bowie has sex with underage girls. None of this surprises me because their creations and lifestyles reflect who they are as people. It’s always funny seeing their fans being met with cognitive dissonance, though.

I can’t really name any actors though because I already don’t like the vast majority of shit that gets pumped out of hollywood and I’m not exposed to it often. I’m sure people who are more familiar with their crap will have no problem thinking of examples, though.

chitak166, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

H3H3

chitak166, to linux in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS To Get 12 Years of Updates

“Oh no, we’re getting paid to do this thing instead of some other thing.”

Part of having a job is working on things that need to be worked on, not because they’re fun.

I highly recommend avoiding this rhetoric because you will end up paying more for inferior hardware.

You are not actually “doing yourself a favor.”

chitak166, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

Unfortunately, the “linux-first” vendors do not offer better deals than their competition.

chitak166, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

Strawberry.

Our desktops are almost identical, lol.

chitak166, to linux in What is the point of dbus?

No, you see, additional layers of abstraction are always a good thing. Haven’t you been paying attention to the latest software memes? /s

chitak166, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

That’s a pretty shitty rule, lol.

We should be educating people on how to get stuff for free whenever possible.

chitak166, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

They’ve been working on the same software for 20+ years?

Woah.

chitak166, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

Eh, I always discredit people when they say X is bad.

It’s been around for over 20 years. That kind of longevity should be praised.
