Isn't this a separate package not part of the Linux kernel? I don't see why Linus would have to get involved.

The title of this post is misleading. If you follow the links, the dev says they are releasing a $3/mo subscription service for their app starting on 08/30.

The current Infinity app will stop working, and you have to install the new Infinity app, which is the same but with subscription.

I still have to use Reddit for some super niche communities to get answers to questions. Some of those communities don't exist on Lemmy or have far too little people on Lemmy to get any answers when I am looking for an answer within the week.

There are some subreddits for older games that I also use to ask some questions. I am not going to make a community on Lemmy for a game from like 2011 or 2015 to just ask a question about the game mechanics or something.

Also, Reddit still has a lot of good info from a lot of communities to still go back and reference. I still use site:reddit.com in a search engine a lot.

I don't go on Reddit to comment on other people's posts anymore though.

"Think of the children" is such a dumb excuse that people keep using in the US to pass laws that restricts citizens and are anti-privacy.

Why So Many Countries Use Bidets But the US Does Not from Weird History does a good job explaining why.

Just finished re-reading 1984 (George Orwell)

Now reading Altered Carbon (Richard K Morgan). And the 2 sequels after.

Though maybe I'll read We (Yevgeny Zamyatin) or Brave New World (Aldous Huxley) before the mentioned sequels.

I did just finished watching The Expanse and tempted to start the book series as well...

I run Wireguard VPN on my router that's using OpenWrt

Then I guess you need to go to YouTube website, go to the channel, look for what playlists they have, then go on NewPipe and look for it.

See how much of an inconvenience it is compared to just being able to pull up all channel playlists in the app?

Sure, you can type "(channel name) playlist" in the search bar, but then all those playlists are all mixed in with regular video results as well. Noticed that not all of the playlists shows up doing that too.

Idk, I learned GIMP first for years, and kept being annoying how unintuitive it was.

Then I tried Photoshop on a friend's computer for a week, and found how much easier it was to use.

I don't use Photoshop though since I use Linux

Uh... Florisboard does have that though. It's in the glide typing section of settings

The only time I click on ads are on websites that actually have people buying ad space on websites that make sense.

Like... Fountain pen ads on fountain pen blogs. Or Linux product ads on Linux learning websites.

I never said that you shouldn't participate in new communities in Lemmy.

1. The person said, "I still have to go back to Reddit since it’s the only way to get information for certain niche communities"
2. A person replied saying why not just make the community here? (Though community could have already been made, but small or inactive)
3. If you're looking for an answer for something right now, you'll do better asking somewhere more active. Though of course you can / should ask in both places.

Extreme example? Acquaintance asked a question in !gayfisting@lemmynsfw.com and got no answers. Will more likely get more answers in /r/Gayfisting because it has 37K members. That is a niche community.

but you can get FDroid from the play store and then use it to install other packages not approved by googul

Where do you live where F-Droid is in the Play Store? In the US, you have to download the apk from the F-Droid website.

Here is the link to official page of that image

Do those platforms use multiple protocols?

Yes

Just because you create a niche community in Lemmy, doesn't mean you'll get enough people to help answer your questions. It's hard to get more people into a niche community. And don't forget that most people online are lurkers. Even if a place looks like they have a lot of subscribers, most of them don't actually post/comment.

You can give this a try

IMO, it's so much easier to just use Lutris to install your game. Never had an issue with any repacks.

Setup your prefixes in Lutris, point to the installer, then install. After installation is done, just change that same setup to point to the .exe game launcher instead of the installer

Sounds like people should help out by opening tickets and pull requests as it's an active Git repo :)

Even megathreads eventually have some outdated info and dead links.
