Vice Media will cease publishing to its website and lay off several hundred staffers as the beleaguered publisher makes “fundamental changes” to its “strategic vision” under its new private equity ownership, chief executive Bruce Dixon announced Thursday in a memo to staff.

The whole Recall thing is what finally made me get off my lazy ass and make the jump to Linux. I chose PopOS, and I've been very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. Between Steam and Lutris, I can play just about any game I want to.
It feels like I actually own my laptop now.
PopOS for me. I have played around with Linux in the past, but never seriously dived into it. The whole Windows 11 Recall fracas changed that. I went with Pop because it's an out-of-the-box distro. Everything just works, and it has Nvidia and AMD graphics support baked in. I used to not like Gnome, but it's kinda growing on me now. Then again, that's the beauty of this OS: Don't like the desktop environment? Download a new one from a bunch of alternatives. Current distro not floating your boat? Make some bootable USB drives of different distros and take them for a test run.
It's a beautiful thing.
Thanks very much!
I regret upgrading to 11 on my home machine. I want to either go back to 10, or just migrate to Linux Mint. Only two things stopping me from jumping is a) My graphics are Nvidia, and b) making time for it.
Thank you!
Forgive me if I am hijacking the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a chair that can accommodate a big dude? Like 330 lbs or so? I ordered one off Amazon, and it didn't last 6 months.
Sorry! Didn't know where else to post this! Anybody surprised by this one?
Try LibreWolf or Floorp.
Most definitely! You even get those features in the free tier.
It has note version history. https://help.notesnook.com/note-version-history
I got the announcement via my Skiff mail. I went to get on their Discord to see what was up, but it's gone. They nuked it.
Shady AF.
I'll throw in a recommendation for Notesnook. It's available on all platforms, syncs across devices, is e2e encrypted, handles tables, and you can organize notes via notebooks, If you need to get a bit more granular, you can subdivide notebooks via topics. It also handles markdown. I pay around $5.00/month for a pro account, and am getting more than my money's worth.
I haven't used it in a while, but I liked Openshot when I found myself having to edit some video.
YAAAS! Thank you so much!
Please pardon the n00b question: I've installed the libredirect extension in my LibreWolf browser, and have installed the Freetuube app for Windows, but I'm still lost on how to get libredirect to point YT to Freetube?
I'm a happy Notesnook user, here. And they have tables.

Lyrics:
Marvin, he was a friend of mine And he could sing a song, his heart in every line Marvin sang of the joy and pain He opened up our minds, and I still can hear him say "Aw talk to me, so you can see, what's going on" Say you will sing your songs forevermore
Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the night shift I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the night shift You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the night shift You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the night shift
Jackie, hey what you doing now? It seems like yesterday when we were working out Jackie, you set the world on fire You came and gifted us, your love it lifted us higher and higher Keep it up and we'll be there at your side Say you will sing your songs forevermore
Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the night shift I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be a

"It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future." - from "Dune" by Frank Herbert
Howdy. 56 yo, here. I have ADHD, as well as dystymia. About two years ago, I had a pretty big spiritual awakening, and it's really helped bring some of the things you mentioned into perspective for me.
"How do y’all not just get consumed by how you will be gone one day, how one day no one in the world will even remember you." My grandparents have been gone a while. I haven't forgotten them, the love they gave me, nor the wisdom and values they imparted to me. My high school chum Paul committed suicide while we were freshmen. I haven't forgotten him, nor the time he stuck up for me on a high school road trip to Houston, TX (one of our fellow students wouldn't stop smoking in the hotel room. I was having an asthma attack, so Paul clocked him with one of those souvenir foot long baseball bats you get at the games to get him to stop.)
It's the little ways we impact people's lives that matters. Our existence is impressed upon others in the time we share with them, not by Wikipedia pages, news articles, YouTube followers, etc. For me, my purpose is not stuff (though those Steam Decks do look pretty sweet), nor fame, nor even fortune. It's about finally getting to a place in my life where I like myself, and extending that to those I come in contact with every day. And when the day comes when we finally shed this body, we'll never really be gone, because we'll have made a difference - no matter how big or small - to somebody somewhere in this world.
I wish you enlightenment, joy, and fulfillment. Now and always. 🙏 🕉️

I'm 56 years old, have ADHD, and have noticed my memory slipping. I've started writing down stuff in notebooks, and not just relying on apps. I always recommend the old school little black book for writing down your main password/passphrase. Keep it in your nightstand, or somewhere that's easily retrievable.
Hanuman
"Hanuman exists to destroy the obstacles to our realizing the same oneness he experiences with Ram. Even when difficulties happen in our lives, he never abandons us, but rather gives us the strength to live through them without our hearts being destroyed."
- Krishna Das from his book, "Flow of Grace"
This is the one that "brought me home" to Hinduism. There are more from this particular concert on YouTube.
Agreed. And Feinstein barely knows what's going on. Pelosi and the establishment dems are just using her to keep a seat. It's freaking elder abuse, at least in her case.

Sri Krishna represents the pure Self, the center of Consciousness, the way to the Divine, Narayana. “Govinda” refers to Krishna as the loving protector of humanity. “Hare” indicates the removal of suffering; “Murare” denotes Krishna as the destroyer of demons within; “He Natha” means “O Master (Lord)”; and “Vasudeva” is the Supreme Being who permeates all.

One of the greatest break-up songs ever written.
Lyrics:
It makes perfect sense Seeing how the seeds were sown To find you out there on your own You said your goodbyes And broke all the ties It struck me dumb To think I tried for you Tonight you can feel The seasons changing You'll never change When you're no better than the weather You're cool But there's rain in your heart You're blowin' like a feather
And that's the oldest story in the world You lost the key to paradise That's the oldest story in the world
Did we have it made? Somehow I thought we could remain If nothing lasts No one's to blame And you can't look back To where you got off the track That's a mystery that we'll never crack
It's just the oldest story in the world We lost the key to paradise That's the oldest story in the world Someday we gotta to set it right And that's the oldest story in the world You'll hear it again and again That's the oldest story in the world, yeah
Somehow I thought we could remain If noth
