user224, 1 year ago to datahoarder in Lost Doctor Who episodes found – but owner is reluctant to hand them to BBC

Or for the BBC to promise to return the film, undamaged, once they’ve digitised them.

“Yeah, so…, we lost them it seems. But not to worry, here’s a £10 voucher to McDonald’s.”

user224, 1 year ago to linux in Linux Mint - Screenshot annoyance

Why did this not come to my head. My idea was to use video capture card, connect that to another computer or phone, set screens to mirror and then take snapshot of the video.

Work harder, not smarter.

I have a playlist of 9 for 4 months. So far, no hits.

…the thing is public domain…

Are you sure? I believe there’s likely copyright also applying to each performance.

This would also create issue with certificates.

user224, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

For some reason, this didn’t work on my old phone after installing PixelExperience 11 on it.
There’s a third way. Bluetooth. At least you don’t need a cable, and you’ll save power.

For that reason, I usually use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi, unless I need higher bandwidth (except during peak hours of network usage, when my connection speed is below 1Mbps anyway).

I should maybe attempt that at some point.

But knowing my brain, I’ll just forget everything 0.4 seconds after I am done.

user224, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Honestly it's a mess

Fine, it’s 23:46. You got me to check my PC. Let’s have a look.

Pretty clean, I’d say. At least on this install.

August 2022

Old data, man.

It’s even better now.

Beware that what OP posted is old data. India is over 14% on Linux as of October 2023.

user224, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What's the deal with the suspicious usernames on youtube?

user224 in here. I just made a mistake.
Firstly, I only wanted to test out SDF.org without wasting my username, but somebody decided to verify me out of their good heart. Then SDF.org announced their Lemmy instance. I didn’t know what Lemmy is, so I used my SDF username.
I can’t change it now.

user224, 1 year ago to piracy in Where'd the music go?

I use free-mp3-download.net but that’s probably not what you are looking for. You need to search up every song manually.
As far as I know, the source is Deezer, so almost all FLACs are legitimate. Almost.

user224, 1 year ago to piracy in Where'd the music go?

Because you only need a browser.

user224, 1 year ago to piracy in I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP

user224, 1 year ago to memes in Nothing to see here...

It all makes sense now! Cats like to catch birds, so cat drones can catch bird drones.

Yes, that’s an actual taxidermied cat. It used to be alive as well.
