If they wouldn't allow this, signing into YouTube wouldn't work

I've wanted to contribute code to open source projects for years at this point but looking at the code just seems so daunting. I've only contributed things like icons, translations and map data in OSM. I did start working at my first job this week as a software developer, so I hope I'll get more experience in working with existing projects.

Couldn't you just compare the energy usage of Laptops or desktop PCs with native support running Linux compared to the energy usage when running Windows on them? I have a PC with an AMD GPU and CPU so my hardware is fully supported, I could actually test it. I think a laptop would be better to test on tho, since a desktop PC might not be trying to use as little power as possible in the first place.

Two best ones IMO are Lawnchair and Kvaesitso. I use the latter. Lawnchair works more like any normal launcher while Kvaesitso is more unique in the way it works.

I run models like Stable Diffusion and Llama with ROCm but models like RealESRGAN for upscaling or Rife for interpolation with Tencents Vulkan thingy (forgot what it's called) and that's far easier. Would be cool if LLMs and stuff could just be run with Vulkan too.

Maybe it would be possible to use a regular text-to-voice model and then use something similar to autotune

If you have a headset that works on Linux, everything works just fine. A lot of headsets are just missing the drivers.

I'm sure a lot of the comments on other platforms would say something along the lines of "They obviously took one picture in the summer and one in the winter... 😒 But enjoy your antifa money 🤣🤣🤣"

I can at least tell you that Mihon will work just fine, it's a FOSS app but sadly not available on F-Droid

No, PipePipe and NewPipe work the same way and load the data from YouTube's server by extracting the information they need (including the video stream) from the website. Piped is a project that uses NewPipes' extraction but puts it on the server side. Piped has to be hosted on a server but that server extracts the information from the website and then sends it to the client, thereby proxying it to you. With Piped, your device never contacts the YouTube servers itself. LibreTube is a FOSS Android app, that's also on F-Droid, that uses Piped.

You could install LibreELEC on the Pi, it's a distro specifically made for Kodi and that can be controlled with the Kore app from your phone

I think landlords should, legally, have to allow you to put a wallbox at the space where you park your car. Maybe they should also just have to pay it themselves. It's stupid that people have to pay so much more and go through such a hassle to charge their car because, I assume, landlords dom't allow them to put a wallbox at their car's parking space.

Germany's problem, that other countries don't have, is the "Schuldenbremse" (debt break). The USA and China are heavily investing by taking on debt while Germany isn't investing anything and can barely keep public services alive.

Doesn't this require the devices to be connected to the same wifi?

Edit: OP already replied so nvm

I use LineageOS + microG and the Sparkasse app works at least

I honestly think both of those "arguments" are stupid anyway, given that you can charge it at home daily. I doubt anyone driving an ICE car empties anything close to their entire fuel tank in a single day.

I have Fedora installed on my system (don't know how the situation is on other distros regarding rocm) and my GPU is an RX 6700 XT. For image generation I use stable duffusion webui and for LLMs I use text generation webui. Both installed everything they needed by themselves and work perfectly fine on my AMD GPU. I can also give you more info if there's anything else you wanna know.

Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can't have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.

I actually use an AMD card for running image generation and LLMs on my PC on Linux. It's actually not hard to set up.

Wait, did you replace pipewire-pulse with pulseaudio?
