I edited it to include the model I got.😄 So far it works, not sure how it will be performing in 4year.

About 4years ago, I decided to get a phone that I could modify (custom rom, root and such) and that had a proper camera. So I got a xiaomi mi 10, which has no audio jack (or even sd card reader..)

The default adapter lasted about 3years (I dont use wired earphones that often) and I decided to get a "proper" one from a ugreen brand (I found reviews that their previous model was bad and they had released a new better one) (it's this one UGreen AV161). It seems sturdy (it has that fiberglass sleeve too), hoping it will last.

It's indeed bad that they dont put a headphone jack and I find it sad that fairphone dropped it too, cuz I'm thinking of buying a phone from them in the future. Not only it reduces the phone's usability, but also indirectly forces you to buy wireless earphones. On top of that, using wired earphones puts extra wear on the single usb port (which I dont know how easy it is to replace it, I've only replaced a micro-usb port).

I dont exactly know where I'm going with this comment, but ok😅

Ayy, this is the way (and once you view enough you switch to hot and then to active, then you exit and return in ~40seconds and start over)

Lol, that might be me in about a month or two

Interested in this as well, posting a comment here just to find the post more easily:)

So far I don't think I've met anyone

PS. According to the subscribers of the Greek community, there are probably less than 70 Greeks online on lemmy (and probably some of them live abroad), so it's probably rather rare to find someone who uses it.

Ok that actually kinda works indeed, nice😄

Here is my attempt in a separate post:

I feel like though if you put too much site filters, results might be reduced in an unexpected way (like searching "X" thing on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml might produce fewer results than searching "X" on lemmy.world only)

May I ask, which wine runner do you use? I found that the system's wine (wine.wow.WaylandFull on nixos) and the wine-ge seemed to works (sometimes only one of the two works, other times both). Did you get it to work with umu by any chance?

Also for some reason I couldnt get Lutris to properly run, but somehow Bottles works for me🤷

Btw, about dependencies, I found the Depots tab of games listed on steamdb.info to be really helpful to decide which one to install.

Yo um, I dont know how much helpful it is, but take a look at the gaming section and the gaming bookmark section of this guide I made https://codeberg.org/BlastboomStrice/LinuxPlan/src/branch/main/LinuxPlan.md

Ummm, this give rape vibes😬

(Hence the downvote from my part)

Edit: I realize I use mas, but if you're ok with less customization you can probably avoid it.😅 The main point of this comment is to make the VM go faster

Yo, I might be able to help here! I recently set up a win10 vm on my linux installation and it kinda fast (not sure how fast you want it to go). Please check the "Qemu" part of this guide I have made https://codeberg.org/BlastboomStrice/LinuxPlan/src/branch/main/LinuxPlan.md

I remember seeing that site some months ago, but didnt pay much attention to it (I thought it was lacking features)

Now that I see it again it looks veeery good indeed, might start using it:)

(I remember about a year ago when I found the free-mp3-downloader and it got shut down about a month later💀, hope this wont happen to this site too.)

Somewhat related to the above, I just found this too

https://github.com/nathom/streamrip

EDIT: Turns out qobuz seems to be much better than deezer (until it too goes bad)

EDIT2: I just found this site https://rentry.org/firehawk52 and I see it's on the piracy wiki too. I should be looking better😅

The lamps I got had a "flicker-free" mark on their packaging, so you might want to find some with that. (I think this is the one I got, but I kinda doubt you'll find this greek brand where you live.

Another solution probanly is to go to a hardware store and try each 3000k lamp into the testing plug they have (they tend do have such). Open your phone, turn on the camera, get it close to the lamp and see if you can see any difference in flickering (the store lamps will probably flicker already, so just see if the tested lamp adds any extra flicker).

Another possible solution might be to trst the lamp and try to hear any buzzing sound, but that will probably be very hard in a crowded store.

Apart from all these, lamps have tint. It either goes to green (positibe duv) or to magenta (negative duv) and have a light quality (cri). Get a high CRI lamp, if you want something close to a conventional bulb. Also you need to find something with a neutral tint, which is rather hard. The lamps I got above have a slightly green tint and I didnt like it much, it took me some time to get used to..

Funny how this was one of the first tools I learnt once I "seriously" started my linux journey, lol

after all it is progress even if the whole project wasn't exactly a success

Yeah, it certainly is progress and probably has reduced both traffic and commute times:)

Stopping here before this turns into a rant

Yeah, I see what you mean. I tried to point the issues quickly and in a civilized manner.😆 I feel like they should be pointed, because those in power tend to write history with their narrative and outsiders may not even know half the story.

PS thanks for the link, somehow I hadn't come across that community.

You're welcome:) Your name didn't ring any bell and I guessed you might weren't aware of the community (plus you're not in the mainstream instances which makes it likelier that you don't federate with the community)😄

Ayoo, hello there! Allow me to throw some shade:)

Yeah, this metro has really been a huuuuge pain over the years and really has various problems. Coupled with the fact that 2years ago we had a fatal crash of trains (one of which was probably carrying illegal oil) and the government is still trying to suppress the case (and there have been almost no changes/fixes to our railway), I've become very hesitant with this metro.

Issues with it:

• A tram (as experts say too) would be easier/faster/cheaper/better to build (also it takes around 3minutes to go down to the platform, a tram wouldnt have such issues).
• It cost around 3.5billion euros, about triple the expected cost.
• The tests haven't finshed yet. They rushed it (our country has issues with railway safety..). The tests should last 18months, but at the time it was opened to the public, only 13months had passed. During the non-public test period, the carts once crashed head-on at minimum speed. During the public test period, a cart once lost power and all of the carts had to stop to prevent a crash (people had to walk inside the tunnels to get out), the statiom has paused operations for other various reasons (once only one route operated for a few hours I think), during opening days there was a big storm and there was water leaking in the platforms (they rushed it that much that not all of the tents were build outside the station entrances).
• It was that rushed, that you couldnt pay with a bank card for some time or they didnt have change for bills over 10 euros, etc. It's a mess.
• It's short as you say, it practically mainly helps commutes towards the center (in the west side or the far east there is no good public transport and it stops after midnight). It doesn't even reach the airport or the interurban bus stations. Only the railway station, which I'd advise not to use.
• There were ancient findings in those areasa they dug. Lots of them. Archaeologists weren't allowed to treat them they way they wanted. (Could be easily avoided with a tram or by letting archaeologists do their work properly.)
• It essentially to 40 years to make it. The main part of the construction took place the last 20 years. The city had increased traffic issues (and looked kinda bad) for 2 decades due to this (now there is an unecessary huge road being build near the ringroad, which causes a lot of traffic in the already dangerous ringroad).
• While it's driverless, it doesn't operate all hours, it stops at 00:30 on Mon-Thu and at 02:30 on Fri-Sun.
• While it's curently cheap and during Friday 18:30 till Sunday 02:30 is free for the public, I think they should make public transport free for the public (what a crazy take, right?), especially for a city that only had buses for the public all this time (decades ago there was also a tram for cargo from the port, but it's been removed). They should follow Belgrade's example and make them public.
• They paid 30thousand euros for the logo (which is essentially a lowercase "μ"), to a somewhat ghost company. Just goes to show how corrupted this whole thing is.

Corruption has ruined it and keeps causing issues:/

The main cool thing I found is that at the platform, there are routes for both directions, so you don't have the angst of picking the correct entrance on the surface when you go to the station.

PS. I dont know if you're Greek too, but if you are, we have mildly active small community at https://fedia.io/m/Greece (is !Greece@fedia.io the corect link?) :)

Umm, I came across this post some time ago, it says some bad things about ventoy😅

Yeah, I scrolled the comments and kinda surpised almost no-one mentions it. Getting mixed vibes..
