  • New launcher to replace Nova?

    Jump

  • I'm the same way and finally had to accept I'm going to need to change because Nova isn't coming back 😭 and to my knowledge nobody is recreating foss.

    Kvaesitso is what I went with. It's a different style of launcher but very well put together. So far I've been quite happy.

  • Anyone have any experience with TubeArchivist?

    Jump

  • How did you set them up with Plex?

    I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn't have great customization like "Only keep latest two episodes". It might have changed since then.

  • Youlag (v4.2.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles, now with DeArrow support to combat clickbait

    Jump

  • Last time I looked into it something wasn't working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I'll give it another go...

  • Youlag (v4.2.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles, now with DeArrow support to combat clickbait

    Jump

  • Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer...

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • It was about a year ago so maybe it's improved since then. One specific hiccup I recall with Mint that I didn't have with Bazzite was getting acceleration in a browser. I'm certainly not recommending Nvidia users avoid Mint!

  • I Love Sideloading

    Jump

  • I agree with this. It's installing an app. Installing a program to a computer you own should never be considered "unofficial"!

  • Is Home Assistant the recommended default for smart homes?

    Jump

  • As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

    But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.

  • this feels deeply personal to Peterson

    Jump

  • That's the business model sadly.

  • Two snowy roads in New York. One exposed to traffic and one not.

    Jump

  • Anywhere you see piles of snow it should be turned into pedestrian only space (since it's obvious the cars don't need it)

  • Fairphone 6 review: cheaper, repairable and longer-lasting Android

    Jump

  • Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

  • Reddit mods immediately delete Post about Eppsteins private Email leak(s)

    Jump

  • Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn't have it honestly

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.

    To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.

  • Is there a website that compares the various eInk screens?

    Jump

  • OK great thanks for the reply and yes it was a color one. I don't really need color but it still scared me. My Oasis is almost 10 years old now I assumed the tech would have improved dramatically.

    Looking at the Boox Go 7 now I think as it's the most similar to the Oasis without being Amazon

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

    Jump

  • Bazzite 100%. It's the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).

  • Is there a website that compares the various eInk screens?

    Jump

  • I'm not really looking for specs I'm looking to visually compare.

  • Signal Contingency Plan (spoiler: it's Delta Chat)

    Jump

  • deltachat will leak metadata everywhere

    Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

  • Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles'

    Jump

  • I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

    While I wouldn't say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

  • Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off

    Jump

  • Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I'd use it but only in rare circumstances.

  • No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • Every platform is going to have someone trying to exploit it.

    Reddit turned to shit because the people who own it allowed it to.
