Not only is that comment insane, but not a single person here seems to be opposed to the idea of disabling a feature that is trying to reduce pollution. I know the corpos are doing most of it but come on, just get used to the auto stop so you don't idle poison into the air.

If you're a gamer with variable refresh rate monitors that differ, you'll really want Wayland. As others have said Mint is good and easy, but not the most up to date and lacks features compared to Windows. I'm liking Fedora KDE spin for this reason.

Based on the last few cases, The WSJ will cave and settle with Trump for a ridiculous amount of money in order to stay on his "good" side.

Unlikely. News companies have been settling with him even when he has no case. This is just legalized bribery/extortion.

Excuse me, can you elaborate on that last part? Dropping people out of planes doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. 3840x2160 is cleanly divisible by 1920x1080. You should just have pixel doubling happening. Check that you don't have some sort of scaling turned on in the TV.

It wont magically look high res, it'll be 1080p, but there shouldn't be any blurryness, just the blockiness of 1080p on a large display.

Yup. Look I don't like the idea of drone/robot warfare, but Ukraine doesn't have enough military support to win conventionally. As much as I wish allied countries would take the gloves off, they are still assisting minimally from afar so Ukraine has to get creative.

Won't you please think of the profits!

I still have it and I can't get off it because my whole flow depends on a feature that no other launcher seems to have.

I have all my apps in folders, but the folders when tapped will launch the first app in the folder. If I swipe up on them the folder opens.

So for exameple I have what looks like a Camera icon. If I tap it Camera opens as expected, but if I swipe up on it all my photo related apps are there. It allows me to keep a simple easy to use home screen but then all my apps are grouped underneath. It's awesome and the best feature Nova ever made.

It's a hockey term that Canadians have adopted to mean to stand up to American influence / Trump.

Big? The headphone jack is not large enough to protrude from a cell phone chassis. Any company telling you they can't fit it is just lying to sell you BT headphones.

I've been using Signal for years and my database was getting really bloated with media, attachments, etc but I didn't want to delete it all. I used this and it's incredible:

https://github.com/bepaald/signalbackup-tools

Just make a backup from within signal, copy that backup file to your PC, then run this tool. The commands I used make an HTML webpage that looks just like the signal messenger, along with a way of searching your messages. You can choose different commands to export however you like.

I used:

signalbackup-tools [input] [passphrase] --exporthtml [directory] --split --searchpage --originalfilenames

So while this doesn't help you move off your current messenger, you don't have to worry that your data/messages will be lost in Signal.

 

With Chromecasts being discontinued, increase in ads, telemetry, etc I'm wondering if anyone else is going back to old school HTPCs or if they have some other solution to do this in house.

I think the options here are likely:

  1. Rooted streamer (ie Chromecast, firestick)
  2. Android Box
  3. Mini PC

I'm actually most interested in experimenting with #3, a mini PC running KDE Plasma Bigscreen. Most of my self hosted apps can be run in browser windows, and a full desktop (while harder to navigate) is better than the browsers you can get on Android.

What is everyone esle, especially the privacy / de-googled self hosters doing for their media front end?

 

Looking at the charging preferences of the Steam Deck, which from my research wants 45W at 15v/3A, it looks like the larger model should work just fine. And with it being $15 USD / $18 CAD this could be an incredible bargain.

It's so new though I can't find any info on it being used with a Steam Deck. I'll definitely be grabbing one to try, as it would be perfect for my USB hub that sits by the TV.
