Templa,

I don’t know why he has so many followers. I think it is just because he says what people want to hear, but it doesn’t have any depth to it.

Nothing against him personally, I just think he’s annoying and also has some entrepreneur vibes that I hate. I am grateful for the right to repair activism, but the latest videos that I watched were just shallow complaining. Justified of course but… yeah.

Templa,

Isn’t there a way to allow the devices to be accessed through the local network? It doesn’t need to interfere with the data collection or the encryption, you are just allowing the user to access the device locally, before it is even encrypted to be sent to the servers.

To be honest if I am choosing between two devices and one supports HA and the other doesn’t, the choice is quite obvious. I think one way to convince your higher ups is that you will be more appealing to a big niche of tech users that have elaborate IOT setups (which means $$$).

Templa,

If it was intended but not properly documented as it says, why does it keep being called a bug?

Templa,

What about D4 last update? I haven’t played it but I heard a lot of people saying they fixed a lot of the issues with the game.

Templa,

Imagine having the guts of using a command with “–purge” without reading documentation and blaming others because you’re just lazy.

Maybe just install a distro that don’t let you do that, OP. Have you considered getting a Mac?

Templa,

Never did anyone in this steam group go out of their way to harass anyone involved with the company.

Never was it “a bunch of sexist and racist white people being upset about diversity in videogames”.

Very bold statements in favour of people that I know myself are extremely “anti diversity / anti woke”. Do you even know who the creator of the Steam group is? Guy is known for being the scum of the Brazilian WoW community.

Templa,

Imagine when they learn about executives. Also it is funny that no one mentions BG3 when talking about DEI consultancy groups.

Templa,

We recently purchased the family plan even if it is quite expensive for a couple. Reading this of course made me feel better about it.

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...

Templa,

EndeavourOS on my desktop, Arch Linux on my laptop.

Templa,

Can’t say anything about privacy because I haven’t used their stuff enough, however I have an iPad from 2013 in perfect state that it useless because I can’t install anything on it.

Templa,

I’m currently running GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro. I use the provided sandboxed google services because of some apps (banking, etc). I use F-Droid for most of my needs. I don’t understand what you mean by misleading advertising.

Templa,

We are currently using Vikunja, I got rid of planka because it was giving way too much trouble considering the amount of features it doesn’t have.

Templa,

If this means that I might be able to use NFC payments because alternatives to Google Pay will exist, I am very happy. Hopefully this will also make possible to F-droid to provide auto updates.

Templa,

I’m confused why you would assume that there isn’t any context where someone might need to store their cards on their phone instead of carrying a wallet. Have you considering asking why instead of assuming everyone is like you? Is amazing when you get to know other perspectives.

Templa,

Yes I realized that, the one that doesn’t is Aurora I think

Templa,

It seems many banks/providers used to had this functionality and just stopped maintaining in favor of Google/Apple Pay.

Hopefully they decide to do it again.

Templa,

Have you checked this thread?

Templa,

I just wanted to point out, no need to apologize! Hopefully you find something suitable for you.

Templa,

Just finished Dave the Diver and today my spouse gave me Synergy. The game is so pretty and chill.

Templa,

Guy called me a nerd just for pointing out Tuxedo even explains on their website how to install snap.

It made a lot of sense after seeing he used to work at Canonical, lol.

Templa,

Yeah they linked the reply I got for asking OP why he thought that and I just went there because of your thread. Seriously lol

Templa, (edited )

inb4 jwz blocks access to his website from Lemmy

Edit: Jokes aside:

Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never try to make WebP a thing.

Is WebP bad? If so, why?

Templa,

It is on f-droid lol

Templa,

I don’t disagree with him in many aspects but I also think he’s a hypocrite in many aspects so…It just led me to stop caring about whatever he does/says

Templa, (edited )

Just curious, why do you have Firefox and Librewolf at the same time? Also what is the black icon with the R?

Templa,

I see. Thank you!

Templa,

People like to take sides on the internet without doing proper research too, I think. I had this idea that Micay was toxic and kind of avoided the project for a long time. My conclusions after doing more research is that he is someone that lacks social skills and is indeed very opinionated. However, GrapheneOS isn’t made for privacy activists that can afford to use Mull instead of Vanadium, for example. GrapheneOS is made for people that cannot afford to have a phone that might leak information that could endanger their lives.

If Mikay was someone like Palmer Luckey which is a biggot that’s a whole different story. I am glad I gave GrapheneOS a try and I am very happy using it, even if it is kind of overkill for my privacy needs.

Templa,

I usually buy on bandcamp, more specifically on bandcamp fridays.

Templa,

Windows (many years) -> Dual boot w/ Ubuntu for a few years -> Windows + WSL (Ubuntu) for many years -> Arch Linux (laptop) + EndeavourOS (desktop) for a few months now

I think I will stick with Arch Linux for new installs, I didn’t have any issue that wasn’t solvable by reading the wiki

Templa,

Rustaceans 🤝 Vegans

Templa,

I giggled, thank you.

Your option is having a financial institution that provides tap to pay on their own app. Otherwise you will have to start carrying cards again.

Edit:

You might want to check this thread on the official forums which has the discussions regarding NFC payments.

I have seen people recommending the usage of a smart watch such as Garmin which has their own Pay application. You can check their compatibility list here. I didn’t have any luck because they support like 5 cards in Canada.

Templa,

For nfc payments? I have seen people making it work for boarding passes and fidelity cards but not for that

Templa,

Yes, I love Catima!

Templa,

I love this solution but my main card is Amex which means I always have to carry a second card 💀

Templa,

“That’s unacceptable. I have an idea: before you plan on moving to Canada, do not come if you’re going to terrorize neighbourhoods like this. It’s simple as that. You want to be a resident of Ontario? You get along with everyone,” Ford continued.

I’m actively looking for a Logseq replacement, since they require CLA signing and can pull the rug at any moment.

We discovered Trilium and will be trying it out to see if we can migrate.

Templa,

We liked Readeck way better than Omnivore. Their browser extension is also very good.

Templa,

Well, I just realized they don’t support multi user which is kind of a deal breaker for us, since we are a couple sharing a homelab. We always wanted to share a few files when using Logseq and it seems this won’t be solved with Trilium either. This sucks.

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

Templa,

With only 256GB it might be even hard for him to use windows, to be honest.

Templa,

Did you manage to get a position? How was it?

Templa,

I’m assuming you didn’t put a lot of thought in this comment.

Mastodon is great but expecting the majority of people to use it is just naive. I’m all in for tools that disrupt the usage of walled gardens.

Templa,

I dislike very much the quantity of AI art used on this. It makes overwhelming to look at lol

Templa,

Many replies in this thread saying that landlords aren’t the problem: If you own more than one property with the purpose of renting or flipping you are part of the problem. Why the need to sugarcoat this? You shouldn’t be paying anyone’s morgage with your rent, this is ridiculous.

Templa,

In the perfect world where you can convince your company to use anything other than MS Teams and that your family bothers to use anything that isn’t WhatsApp or Telegram. Unfortunately I don’t live on it 😭

Templa,

This is cool. I switched from Winamp to Foobar2000 at some point, I don’t really remember the reason.
