I frequently upvote amd comment here as a means of contribution because we need to make Lemmy bigger and pull in users.

It is not recommended to use Proton outside of Steam. Use Wine + DXVK instead for GOG.

Half Life Alyx + No VR mod

These days there are games and launchers to avoid instead of choose, giving you a wide pool of selection. Just pick whatever you want to play and check these 2 sites: protondb.com (for Steam games) areweanticheatyet.com (for multiplayer games)

D+ on Turkey is in trouble due to cancellation of Ataturk biographical series. Nothing has happened yet but the government is "investigating the situation".

I redownload and reinstall all packages if an update is interrupted. Sometimes a pacman -Syu completes the upgrade but usually it is not enough. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Reinstalling_all_packages

Do your friends use Discord?

They are losing subs already and they decided to raise prices. I don't know how this makes any sense.

I deleted Galaxy Store on my Android through adb but still the meme holds its point.

I installed an app to work around mouse scroll wheel acceleration, literally right after installing FF. I can't recall the name though.

Many Valve devs use Arch on their personal PCs.

That mainlined ntfs driver is fast but occasionally drilles holes in ntfs so I have to chkdsk on Windows. Also NTFS is not mount & play, you need to configure it with right permissions etc.

Foldable.

And if you’re curious to see your Running Services, enable developer mode, navigate to it and it’s the 8th option, right under “OEM unlocking”. Handy for finding sneaky apps.

Thanks for sharing this, it is so useful. I now know that barely anything runs on my phone. I guess I went too hard on the phone with adb.

I played music on Spotify from phone speakers (no bluetooth) and started recording. Music stopped, I opened the tray and hit the play button, music continued playing. I am assuming this was made as a QoL feature but didn't implement it well instead of a device or software limitation. Galaxy A34, Android 13 latest update, in a region where carrier doesn't matter :) EDIT: It takes a few taps on the play button to start playing. Maybe you can restrict permissions of camera app via adb, the app has a permission called "change audio settings". Or simply use another camera app.

How did you use KDE Connect? I used GSConnect on Pop OS and that was unreliable while regular KDE Connect has a solid connection on Linux with Plasma. No idea about Windows.

I switched a month ago from iPhoneX to Galaxy A34. I used the bare minimum features on iOS so it wasn't hard for me. Data transfer from iOS to Android was easy; during setup, I was offered to transfer data from iPhone. I connected my iPhone to Android with cable, in less than half an hour my contacts, photos, videos and some settings including wallpaper was transferred. Keep in mind that data transfer may not work if you buy a brand other than Samsung or Google or a phone with Android 11 or lower. Also you cannot transfer data from any app excluding Whatsapp. Android will attempt to find and install your apps to your new device but you will have to relogin etc.

If you use iMessage for group chats, (I sincerely hope you don't) you will get pointed at by others, try to switch others to a messaging app like Telegram if you can. Even better if you do this before jumping ship. Also deactivate iMessage or you may not receive messages at all on Android, this is a technical issue. guide link

I personally hate iCloud so I disable it even if I am signed in to App Store. The reason is that it syncs my photos and other stuff, suddenly runs out of space and nags me for upgrade. To pull out my photos from iCloud, go to icloud.com on a PC, download everything (photos, documents, whatever) and switch iCloud off. Smart home stuff, no idea.

When I learned about the whole fediverse thing, I want to join but was hesitant due to many instances. But I realized that lemmy.world is the largest Lemmy instance with a HUGE margin so I just signed up. Thank you for keeping this place alive and kicking!
