jlow, to datahoarder in That many people need old Ubuntu installations?

Do old versions of Linux (Ubuntu in this instance) run better on really old hardware? That might be a reason if so.

jlow, to linux in CLI monitoring with GPU overview

Oh, nvitop looks really nice, thanks! So far the only thing that seems to correctly read my GPUs data is a fork of the KDE system monitor widget 🤷‍♀️

jlow, to piracy in How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?

If it’s not Adobe your pirating but a small firm consider buying their stuff if you can afford it. Yes, I know this is the piracy forum but just like with indie games I think if you have the money and get value out of it then it’s cool to support actually people, that need to eat. Global Evilcorps surely not, but people are supporting you via Patreon so why not give some of that money to the people who develop the tools that help you make that money …

jlow, to piracy in How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?

I’d also encourage you to look into FOSS alternatives but I have a friend who’s a graphic designer and he’s been pirating the crap out of Adobe since he began his studies in the early 2000s. He says neither he nor any of his collagues (all freelancers) ever had a problem with pirated software. It’s literally unheard of. And if you think about it, how is Adobe gonna find out if you block their phoning home with a firewall? Printers don’t give a damn (and couldn’t tell), neither can clients or random people on the internet. No one is ever going to be “Nice work but can you quickly somehow proof to me that you actually have the ridiculously overpriced subscription for that barely functioning design suite eveyone uses because there’s no alternative (except for Affinity maybe)?”

jlow, to piracy in Can't figure out how to download an embedded PDF

Just as a tiny nitpick: PDFs can be just a collection of images. If there’s text I would hope that they’re embedded as text or vectors, which is what would usually happen if you export a document from a program (that isn’t completely bs). So texts / vector graphics etc should not be images usually (unless you scan a document as a PDF - which I hate with a passion but can see that people prefer a single PDF over a collection of image files). Even then you could OCR the imges / PDF to make it searchable etc. Anyway in this case it seems to be a collection of images indeed ^__^

jlow, to piracy in How to begin setting up a media center?

For sailing the high seas/acquiring more Linux ISOs, get a torrent-client, qbitorent is probably the most popular (and depending on where you are a vpn-subscription), then set it up with the arrs:

jlow, to linux in KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

Thanks for the writeup, that’s far more advanced than what I need to do in my work sometimes ^__^ But cool that it looks like there are options on Linux.

jlow, to piracy in (IPTV) 🌍📺This frequently-updated github list gives you TV stations from around the world [x-post]

Would love for this to work with Jellyfin but for me it just poplates the channels section, where it takes me to another page before I can actually watch something and it takes about 10 seconds to load a channel. Not really the analogue TV experience I had hoped to recreate ^__^

jlow, to linux in KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

I’ve been using Gnome for a long time, then Dash to Dock broke, switched to Plasma, not looking back ^__^

jlow, to linux in KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session

Doesn’t the Linux version of Resolve only read/import (or export? I can’t remember) .mov or something that makes it more or less unusable? Has that changed?

jlow, to privacyguides in How to stay safe on Strava

Or Fitotrack, which has an even nicer dashboard (with horrible colors, unfortunately) to screenshot and send to friends to brag (not that I’d ever do that ^__^)

jlow, to linux in [SOLVED] Can't access drive on linux/windows dual boot

Obviously use at your own risk but maybe ntfsfix can help:

man.archlinux.org/man/ntfsfix.8.en

jlow, to privacyguides in German court declares “Do Not Track” to be legally binding

Yeah, true. But maybe the perfect time to try the new translation feature in Firefox? ^__^
