Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.

Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?

A cute kitten, delivered in a box, directly to tour door. Pets overnight dot com.

On android Tubular is YouTube with these options. A fork of NewPipe.

The sync looks to be a version of KDE connect. That I have running on Mint. I think I had to install it from the Mint software GUI though.

Zorin does look cool though. As easy as it is Mint/Cinnamon is a bit ugly out of the box.

How does this compare for a user who "just wants things to work without terminal/CLI".

I've landed on Mint after trying a few other distros.

The funny thing is 90% of these crapps are just web wrappers, and 90% of the time its a SAAS portal they have just customised with a logo.

I asked my gym if there 'app' had a website. After they said no I did some digging and found it. Put a web launcher on my home screen (or use hermit/aNative) and done.

Fuck restaurants though. I'm not doing a table QR code, paying EXTRA (50 cent fee), giving you data thats not needed ... And then going to the counter to ask where my oder is. I've seen this first hand and its ridiculous. Maybe MAYBE you can tempt me with a 10% discount. Having saved thst on not printing menus and staff not taking orders. Did I say fuck restaurants?

What is the videos and games are you seeing water marks in?

TV let's you turn off various flags per app.

TC runs as a (local I assume) VPN service. So doubt it.

Off topic. But can graphine still run aurora store to DL play apps?

I was trying for this. Probably should have have just pasted it.

Yes. And SA is proposing a law against kids using online services.

Yet the conversion is about how the tech companies will handle it. Not about what society in general will do.

People only focus on the tech solution of this. We don't make ciggys or booze impossible for kids to injest.

Socialy its not responsible to let your kids drink or smoke. Even behind ose doors.

I think a large part of the tech change is society itself. It needs to become taboo to let kids use the devices and services. Along with understanding the risks (addiction to tech, isolation, depression, being influenced etc). Funily enough the risks aren't only for children it's for all of us.

Wtf dude?

Why use more words when less is easier.

Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).

It's in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I'll give up.

I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting ... Though I still don't fully get the fediverse).

I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.

On the flip side I've heard a notion that no one single instance should become the "main" instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the "default". But maybe it's different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.

PBS Spacetime or Space Matters at 0.75 speed.

Alan Watts, Eckart Tolle, Great Meditations (the sleep ones as there is no wakeup bit at the end)

My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

It's easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know "just read the wiki" but sometimes we don't have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to "just have a shower, and get out the basement".

It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I'm forcing myself not to. ... Well that and Win11 isn't supported.

And re things not working. I'll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.

I can't see it as streaming or DVD. But I can see it as an audiobook and on great courses plus website.

If anyone finds the video version I'd be appreciative.
