joe_cool,

Brand new: grayjay.app

Has downloads, dislikes, Youtube, Odysee, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, and more plugins, no ads, can cast to devices, offline subscriptions and was paid for by Louis Rossman. Out for a week now. Loving it so far. Just needs Sponsorblock and it will replace Newpipe+Sponsorblock for me. It’s open source but paid software.

We offer a way to pay for the app once. The app will function identically without paying.

joe_cool,

Also key activations cost the dev zero on Steam. And the dev can generate keys for free to sell elsewhere. details here: partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....

joe_cool,

Your File Manager list is sorely missing Krusader and Total Commander. ;)
EDIT: and Sublime Text runs native on Linux (and I do believe there is a Mac version)

joe_cool,

pull hundreds of KDE dependencies

Very true. i3 users would get half of KDE when they install Krusader. For a KDE User it’s pretty cool to have the same settings and bookmarks across Plasmahell, Dolphin, Krusader and Konqueror.

Everything that Total Commander does, Double Commander can do

I don’t think I agree here. But maybe I have been using TC too long (since Windows Commander for Win 3.1). V 11 brought many cool new things. I don’t think I can use a Windows box at all without it anymore.

Sublime even has their own repos for various distributions. You may still install and evaluate it for free but it requires a paid license to use. The only limitation is a nag screen though. Like it’s been since Sublime2.
www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html

Other editors are catching up quickly. The coolest Sublime feature now is their Plugin repository.

joe_cool,

I actually used DC for a while on my Arch box at work. I found it not there yet and went back to Krusader. It’s been a while maybe it’s become a lot better. I’ll check it out again.

I also have to use and administrate Windows for work, so yeah: knowing both can be a blessing and a curse (mostly me cursing at Server 2022).

joe_cool,

Haha, we have only a handful of PCs that upgraded to Win11 so far. I think it’s just as bad as Win10, maybe better than Win10 18H2 and earlier apart from the UI.

For totalcmd: Viewer than can easily search an 8GB binary file at the speed of the disk, switched seamlessly between UTF-16, ASCII, HEX. The whole Search feature now integrated with Everything. Multi-Rename with Regex and or renumbering. Treeview that can be enabled or disabled for one or both panes. Copy/Move queue with speed limiter and pause. Tab management for sorting and removing duplicates. History of most frequently used directories. Integrated wget (via the FTP-URL button). Fast image gallery view. That’s what comes to mind that didn’t work or not as well with DC.

Maybe also work in DC: Plugins for NTFS streams, WebDAV (windows default implementation sucks donkey balls), SCP. I even used it for burning CDs back under XP.

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description (edition.cnn.com)

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

joe_cool,

She’s not exactly known for being a smart person in Germany. Whoever thought she had what it takes to be a diplomat was clearly deluded. She only got the job as foreign minister because of proportional representation.

joe_cool,

I actually use both. Reddit to watch or partake in nonsensical angry at the internet posts and Lemmy for real discussion in a niche that I fancy.
Lemmy feels like Reddit did 10 years ago.

joe_cool,

Oh cool, thanks, it’s even better than last time I checked it. lemmy.ml is already struggling with our server. I doubt the admins have time to install themes right now. But maybe soon. Or someone builds a lemmy PWA so every user can have their own interface with api to the instance.

I actually never used anything other than old.reddit. And m.reddit or l.reddit (the one they recently shut down) on my WAP nokia phone.

joe_cool,

Sweet. I was suspecting that it works like Matrix/Element but I was too lazy to check :) Thanks.

joe_cool,

Yeah, they should also sue the ISP, the power company, the company who built the criminal’s house and the people who paved the road he used. /s

Oh not wait they are suing ISPs for zeroes and ones that flow through their cables. Strange world we live in. No one would have sued the postal service for a letter they got, or their telco for a call they received before the www.

joe_cool,

Könnte sein, daß man als Fußgänger da aus Versehen mit dem Ellenbogen am Außenspiegel hängen bleibt. Das mindeste ist dann schon mal aussteigen müssen und wieder einrasten. Wenn man da öfter beim vorbei laufen hängen bleibt kann schon auch mal etwas abreißen. Rein hypothetisch.

joe_cool,

Only on kbin afaik. Lemmy-UI has no way to display it.

Keep in mind that anyone subscribing to ActivityPub events can see who voted for what and posted or edited. That’s how federation works.

joe_cool,

Considering “faster engine” means different tune on the exact same engine nowadays: not much has changed.
Fuck morons who pay this so the corps will continue to do this. They wouldn’t even consider it if people with more money than sense didn’t pay for it. Everything is enshittified until we live in Idiocracy.

joe_cool,

You could always use a distro made by sane people.

joe_cool,

I have also used Ubuntu when they sent out those free CDs. And for work when they had the Unity desktop (12.04 LTS). It was a good distro once.
I am pretty happy with the Arch (btw) I installed as a VM on Ubuntu 12.04 and then used as my main OS on the new work PC since 2017.

joe_cool,

I think the only thing they make that is competent are their SSDs. Stay away from their batteries and phones. Also their “smart” TVs become slower and more ad infested with every update.
Never had any of their appliances, so can’t comment on those. The exploding washing machine story doesn’t inspire confidence though. My 80s Samsung AM/FM/cassette boom box is great though and still works.

joe_cool,

I recently got a cheap Doogee X97 as a backup phone. It was pretty much AOSP except for the launcher and 2 extra apps. I was impressed by the value of the $60 phone. 16 GB flash was too little for me though. I handed it to a friend and got the sturdier, waterproof S51.
No holes in my screen, 5 days of daily use battery and 4GB/64GB + dual SIM + NFC + microSD + headphone jack for $100 is pretty sweet. Also OEM unlock is possible from the dev menu without extra steps. Firmware is available as a zip from their forums.

joe_cool,

It’s not comparable to a flagship phone. But considering the price I am still quite satisfied.

Only thing missing is the gyro for accurate tracking in AR stuff. I think the Doogee Pro versions with the fingerprint scanner have one. But they cost about twice as much.
