The internet is weird. Why is this getting downvoted?

This is neat, but I feel like Opera had this waaay back like 15-20 years ago. My memory could be wrong though, I stopped using in favor of Firefox a looog time ago

At least since 2015 https://blogs.opera.com/news/2015/07/cool-functions-tabs-in-opera-computers/

Since 2008! And according to that link, apparently Firefox 3.1 had tab previews back then as well?

Well, then I don't understand the downvotes, lol. The person i replied to said sometimes a distro will force a reboot, I said that's bad, and a bunch of people apparently disagree with that.

I thought we would have learned from Windows, you should never force a reboot.

Lol yes. Its my fault. Thanks.

I'm so tired of life in this country just consistently getting worse. When the hell are we gonna reach a breaking point where the people revolt against the effects of unchecked capitalism, because I feel like we're getting there. (And no, I don't mean January 6th style where we get a dictator instead)

People can barely get by and they're being attacked on all sides, politically threatening democracy, (thus threatening your safety), threatening what little amount of shitty health insurance we're given, cutting wages, cutting jobs, crashing the economy multiple times to get bailed out by the tax payer's, threatening people because of the color of their skin, or because their religions n is the right one and yours isn't, denying science, denying climate changed letting a global pandemic run wild because it might kill your political opponents more that live in dense cities. The list goes on, and on. I'm so tired of this shit and the dumb ass people that support it.

Wait, so is newpipe abandoned?

I've been using a htpc for TV content for years, and I've finally given up and just gonna pirate all my shit now. The hoops I've had to jump through to get 1080p on Linux, and Netflix/prime video working on my rooted lineageos phone has pissed me off too much. Researching all the *arr software packages and which sources to get content from, this weekend.

The original Xbox was what got me into openwrt. I was in college, got a hold of an xbox and wanted to play with my friends online. I could spend $50 or more on the WiFi adapter Microsoft sold, or I could spend like $25 on an Wrt54G and flash it with openwrt, connect that to my WiFi as a wireless bridge and connect the Ethernet to my xbox. Worked like a charm and I had a multipurpose device instead of a single use Xbox WiFi adapter, for cheaper.

Ahh, itsfoss.com. they had some article on "being a supercharged Joplin user" or some nonsense and suggestion 3 or 4 was "Create a notebook".... Really being a power user when you're utilizing the most basic functionality the app was created for....

I think you're right, I've since moved on to Linux for my OS, but never had a reason to use WebDAV, so haven't had the chance to test it with Linux WebDAV clients

A looong time ago, I tried using WebDAV for internal network use and I feel like there was an issue with it I didn't like and stopped using it and instead went with smb. The issue miiight have been that if I was copying a file to a WebDAV server it didn't give you a file copy progress? Can't fully remember. Either way, does WebDAV give you a file copy progress now?

I've seen this opinion a few times so far about hexbear, so i gotta ask... wtf is hexbear.net? Is it like the equivalent of 4chan?

+1 for Syncthing, I use it a lot. However anyone have any methods of 1-way sync? I'd like to backup camera photos from my phone with it but not have a 2-way sync so I can delete the pictures off my phone, and not have it deleted on my server. At one point I found a discussion with the developers about this exact use case and if I remember right, they were kind or in the camp of 'that use case extends beyond what we envision for the app and would introduce more complexities, so we're not a big fan of introducing that feature.'

On android (though I wish I was using a true gnu/Linux phone...) I open Neo store every once in a while and peruse the explore tab, sorting by most recently updated. Neo store is a better f-droid client (a source for open source android apps)

For desktop Linux, i guess you could do the same, (though for some reason i haven't) and peruse the free sofyware marketplace that comes with your linux distro. I also used to google articles about top 10 new open source apps for ubuntu 2023, or similar google searches. I also used to read a bunch of Linux, open source, and linux hardware related sub-reddits that I've been slowly trying to replace with Lemmy communities, right now I subscribe to:

C/f-droid

C/hardware

C/homelab

C/Linux

C/linuxhardware

C/opensource

If anyone has anymore I should subscribe to, suggest away!

I also browse YouTube which in the past has suggested videos of people reviewing new open source apps or software. Though those video suggestions have gotten worse as YouTube's algorithms have gotten worse in the last few years.

Also in the past I'd peruse https://alternativeto.net/ to see if there's anything better in the open source world for proprietary software, or even alternatives to existing open source software I use.

Interested to hear more about what others do!

Noo, keep going man, I got an apt-get error you need to waste time fixing for me

C'mon, keep doing it!
