Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.
I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
I was a windows user back in 2019 - 2020, and moved over to Linux in 2021. I honestly forgot how i found Linux, and when I was using Windows, I remember using this feature “Game Bar”, which I used to make game clips on my PC. Although, when I got my NVIDIA Card the Game Bar Stopped working because of the HDMI cord that...
I still use old.reddit.com because the content is still better than on here.
The memes here are pretty terrible. Many of the communities that i follow haven’t migrated. There simply isn’t enough content and a sizable portion of the content that exists is very annoying compared to on Reddit.
Still, I probably use Lemmy more than Reddit due to the apps.
I occasionally use reddit in the browser on mobile but the experience is terrible so I pretty much only check out r/sysadmin (yes I know that there is a similar sub on here, but it’s very small)
I personally don’t really have much against Reddit except the apps issue. They have done a lot of stupid stuff, but meh.
Especially the longer ones like “POLYBIUS - The Video Game That Doesn’t Exist”, “Nuclear Fruit: How the Cold War Shaped Video Games”, and “The First Video Game”. His iconic arms series is also, well, iconic.
Walking very close to someone’s home is also illegal with the right to roam. The right to roam just gives everyone the right to walk were they want except in someone’s garden. You can also camp anywhere (gardens excluded of course) for a day (or two can’t remember) without asking anyone for permission.
One kinda surprising thing is that everyone is allowed to enter fenced animal pastures, provided that they aren’t malicious and that they close the gate.
It’s an amazing right that should exist in the entire world.

Do syncthing support version control? I currently use Git with GitHub to sync between devices and while it works it can be incredibly annoying to troubleshoot when it goes wrong.

As far as I know they use openPGP and that works automatically between proton users but can be set up to work from and to anyone. The other partner just needs to use a client that supports it (like the objectively best client, Thunderbird ;) ) unfortunately pretty much no one uses openPGP so emails will very seldom be E2E encrypted.
Apparently the Proton clients support web key exchanges so you wouldn’t have to import the key of users that use OpenPGP (if they have imported the key to the exchange) so in theory that would make it better. I have yet to use that functionality in Thunderbird though, since again, pretty much no one uses openPGP.
I have sent one legit openPGP email and that was to my country’s financial inspection asking for an internship. Unfortunately they replied unencrypted and included my email in the reply, lol. It’s fair enough though, since I used a feature that’s probably intended to report fraud and crime.
It’s often more comprehensive than what opensubtitles have to offer. I often struggle to get tv episodes with subs in my native language, but all the streaming services obviously has it.
Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.
Why are you posting so much about streaming sites in this thread?
People that feel superior for not paying are so stupid.
Some people actually like the ease of use, user experience and legality of paid streaming services.
People that try and justify piracy because X are also so stupid.
I like piracy because free is nice, but some people think that they are morally in the right, because “companies bad”. I won’t say that piracy is theft but the industry obviously needs people that do the right thing to survive, and making fun of people who do is very counterproductive.
And the quality of (newer) physical media far surpasses the best of free and paid streaming services.
You can get the same quality by downloading though.
If you have to use any, I recommend “micro” It’s very easy to use and has mouse support by default. Many of the shortcuts are also reasonable, like Ctrl+z for undo.
But hey, at least everyone supports webp now. (lemmy.world)
