VLC always had a ton of applications, network device playback, TV, streaming server, files, physical media, music player, effects, recording, AV format conversion, subtitles, plugins and so on.
So, you want the opinion of an average sh.itjustworks user? Well, here it comes.
First and foremost, I think you should let it go and calm down. I know from personal experience, arguing with strangers on the internet can be exhausting and it can rile you up. It's not worth it.
And I've noticed an increase in inciteful troll posts on Lemmy in the past few days. The goal of those is to destroy the community by sowing division and hatred and these posts seem to come from both sides of the political spectrum. It doesn't really matter what political flavor the content seems to be because the purpose is simply to break things. Those are troll posts and the content is designed to provoke anger and hatred. We should be careful not to fall into this trap, as an international community.
I don't think my disinterest in most of the things that fall out of Trumps mouthhole is a sign of denial. Most of these are outright lies, baseless accusations, exaggerations, narcissism, and pure hatred. I'm not obliged to let this affect my life. I'm also an EU citizen and as such I have a natural distance to US politics. (I know that the orange turd's actions have grave consequences for EU citizens too, to be clear, and this is something I can't ignore)
The difference for me personally is if news articles start with “Trump says“ or with "USA does“. I am very much done with the former, just to keep my mental health intact.
Welcome to HA :) freeing all of the devices from the cloud can be quite a rabbit hole, but at the same time it's very satisfying. If you're concerned about privacy or devices still phoning home you could consider installing pihole or disallowing specific wifi-connected devices to communicate on the internet via your router settings
Hilfeleistungs-Löschgruppen-Fahrzeug is a very odd composite word for Germans too. It's not commonly used, this is probably "Amtsdeutsch“, a bureaucratic way of naming things as accurately as possible. Mostly used like that by government institutions and Microsoft help documents in german.

Shudders. This is why I (as a native German speaker) prefer english documentation.
I just checked the original video. It works a little bit differently than plain URL replacement. They open another tab in the background and then send a manipulated URL to get the affiliate cookie set to their own. Guess it's for the courts to decide if that is a legal practice or not. But to me it seems that the malicious extension sends a manipulated URL to the server pretending to do that on user's behalf, without his knowledge. That is classic malware behavior.
It's more than that, at least from a EU perspective. Don't know what is legal in the US, but manipulating URLs in an obviously malicious way and without the user's explicit knowledge and consent would be highly illegal here.
I don't know. Maybe Google is actively limiting results for Startpage. When I don't find what I'm looking for in Startpage I switch to Google and boom, adequate search result. I refuse to permanently go back to Google though.
I think VS Code is doing its own thing and it might be better if you create your own. It doesn't have to be called .venv, that is just a VS Code convention.
python -m venv myenv
and then
source myvenv/bin/activate
should do it.
Otherwise there is something wrong in your path or a weird python installation.
python --version should give you a version number 3.4 or above, because these have venv included and need no additional pip installs
My guess is grading. When you're grading you need to supply a different amount of power to the arms depending on the angle. But I'm no expert in this. Seems to be the standard euro configuration and I was looking for this to setup a simulator
Fascinating. I was just wondering if anyone could actually like snap and I personally knew no one until now.
FWIW I'm a long time Kubuntu user and I like it very much. But the snap experience has me on the brink of switching to a different distro.
