selokichtli,

OsmAnd, as someone has mentioned. Though, I think it’s an extension and you have to activate it and customize the experience. I used GPSlogger in the past, too, when I was in field surveys to upload to my Nextcloud server.

selokichtli,

To be nice or friendly with kids.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

If Debian Stable supports your hardware, go for it. If not, try Debian Sid, but it won’t be as stable. You can install up-to-date applications, like Steam, using flatpaks in any case.

Even if you opt for stable and there’s an update that you may take advantage from, you can always update your kernel in several ways or change to Debian Sid (unstable), but you can’t go back unless you change to Debian Testing and then wait the freeze of Testing which then becomes Debian Stable.

selokichtli,

It’s a voodoo mantra. It supposedly helps to have control of your dreams if you repeat it before going to sleep. I read about it like twenty years ago. I was a bit surprised that it is not spread all over the internet.

selokichtli,

For me, Bluetooth in general is a problematic technology that’s been trustworthy only when the device comes with a pre-paired Bluetooth emitter.

selokichtli,

Woah, lemmy is for shiters.

selokichtli,

I guess if you feed it with your personal taste. My wrapped was all over the place. I only use Spotify in parties and ask everyone what do they want to enjoy.

Well, I have two cats, both with a street history. My first cat had it hard in the streets and we did learn a lot with him. He probably was a street cat for a year, but after living in a home, since he came sterilized. The guy couldn’t even meow for two years, he learned to trust us mostly because of hunger. I love, admire, and respect that cat.

While being very comfortable with us, this first cat used to play with our feet. When we were walking away from him, he would hunt our heels, for example. So, I thought he could have a partner so they could hunt or something. I also thought that all kind of collective behaviors would appear if he was not alone as a cat. We brought another street cat home. This one was juvenile, not a kitty but soon an adult. We thought he still was well taken care of by people he crossed by, kitty cat cuteness survival. Wouldn’t last much longer.

At first it was hard, my first cat is serious business with his territory. He learnt this the hard way. So we kept them separate, gave them time to know each other through sound and smell. Little by little we allowed them to know each other, until they got accustomed. It’s great to have two cats, you will ‘unlock’ all kind of behaviors that will make your days if you like to just watch cats. My first cat learnt to meow or maybe he just became confident enough. Oh, it was awesome to listen to him for the first time, so shy. It was a bit unfortunate that the second one learnt to be overly vigilant of surrounding noises, like the first.

They can fight sometimes, but most of the time they mind their own business. In the end, cats are masters of ‘homing’, meaning to me culturing and experiencing their home, all the time. They make the other cats part of their home… eventually.

selokichtli,

Try booting with kernel flag --nomodeset. If it gets you to the desktop, you could find out more about the graphics card and monitor.

selokichtli,

If you are feeling better, now is the time to have a correct diagnosis. You don’t know if everything goes to shit again, who may end to be on charge of your health. Don’t despair, change doctors until you find someone that takes you seriously.

selokichtli,

Steam Deck is a game changer. There’s no doubt about it anymore.

selokichtli,

I mean, this is a joke, clearly. So, I vote for both.

selokichtli,

Just go ahead. I’ve only posted a couple of photos of one of my cats and someone even asked me to post photos of my 6x1000-pieces puzzle table that shows one corner in one of the photos. I honestly haven’t found the time to take photos of the table, there’s always something on it or the glass covering the puzzles makes it hard to find a suitable angle, etc. Anyway, you see my point.

selokichtli,

I don’t use anything else, except NewPipe for YouTube. Sometimes I use a Revanced YouTube app without an account, I periodically delete its data and start over again, but no Facebook, xitter, etc. Only true exception is WhatsApp.

selokichtli,

Is it hard to setup? Because it sounds too good to be easy. It doesn’t matter a lot to me, on the contrary, I’m interested in a a setup that centralizes all of my IM apps, and I’m willing to invest efforts to make it happen.

selokichtli,

You mean politicians.

selokichtli,

I think it’s gonna be Linux 2-7 for Gimp 2-3.

My internal fight over what device to buy

Hello there! This is my problem: I’m going to buy a new smartphone, and I’d really like to degoogle myself as much as possible. The idea would be to buy a device compatible with LineageOS, but… Supported devices are usually older models, and often there are newer devices with better specs for the same price, that does not...

selokichtli,

You can purchase a supported model with any company you feel comfortable buying, then install /e/ OS as well. I think you were expecting a more typical purchase experience of a store. Murena should seek for this experience, but yeah, they are a weird company aiming to a weird market, it doesn’t feel that weird to me.

selokichtli,

Jesus Christ, why can’t they just leave it alone. At this point they are grasping at straws. More likely, people will stop using YouTube at all than turning off adblockers or switching browsers.

selokichtli,

I meant people who use Firefox+uBlock, not just any people.

selokichtli,

Yes, probably. But there are alternatives to circumvent their current restrictions and I think there will always be. If you add those methods, maybe the balance goes the other way around. For example, I’d go the Freetube way (invidious) instead. If they keep investing on preventing me to use Invidious, is it worth it for them? We will see.

If bandwidth was the problem, then they should allow Android systems to switch from video to audio-only when the screen is off or they could limit the resolution and fps to those using adblockers, without denying access to view. People using Firefox+uBlock already made a choice to not be their “clients”. At this point they should just count their blessings, which are still a lot, and let Firefox+uBlock users be or just close their pitty platform to their users as Facebook does. It’s here where their dilemma lives, are they gonna be another Facebook?

selokichtli,

That’s okay. My argument is not against this, it’s against the “hahaha” part, as if it was such a ridiculous fantasy to stop using YouTube if you already are trying so hard to avoid the inconveniences of their current ad system.

selokichtli,

I don’t want to change your reaction, that’s in the past anyway. You do you, I guess.

selokichtli,

There are already several alternatives and this attitude of YouTube will only get them more users.

selokichtli,

Next step will require them to login to watch, they will probably implode at that point. If they are doing all these things to salvage revenue and or bandwidth from 1.64% of users, is it worth the investment? As I see it, if it is, they are not doing well with their business model and it’s not like this tweak will get them anywhere; if it’s not, they are just wasting time and resources in a Pyrrhic victory.

selokichtli,

Residentes Evil. The camera fixed angles were confusing and sometimes I got caught between two different angles in a small space to maneuver.

selokichtli,

For now.

What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

selokichtli,

I make GPX traces for OpenStreetMap. I also make annotations and even small edits for the same project. Listen to music and YouTube videos (don’t really watch a lot), check my messaging apps, etc. I actually try a lot of stuff from Fdroid.

selokichtli,

Yes.

selokichtli,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

selokichtli,

I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the word “futo”. Do you mean the swipelib file?

selokichtli,

It’s actually a great age to date. Improve yourself just for the sake of your own health and you’ll do fine.

selokichtli,

They are probably using timeshift or some advanced feature in btrfs to auto-generate snapshots so they can go back to a working state using one of them.

The way you do it is probably getting old. I say this because I do the same, but to use several distros with a shared home partition, provided I have the same GID and UID for the users. This is not recommended but only once I’ve had a problem and it was easy to solve, so I kept doing it. Installed Fedora recently with defaults in one partition and they use one fat partition (EFI), and one btrfs partition with a logical volume and some unfamiliar partitioning. I think we are maybe missing some new technologies.

selokichtli,

Fake and still made me cry.

selokichtli,

It’s so easy to be called *phobic these days. It reminds of those relationships in which people feel like they are walking on eggshells.

selokichtli,

And they solved it by reading the ArchWiki 99% sure.

selokichtli, (edited )

Lol, this is so stupid it’s good.

selokichtli,

All kinds of mindless rm -rf something, mostly.

selokichtli,

I frequently have a hard time with your comic strips. They are lovely, don’t get me wrong, but I blame my limited understanding of the English language. This one I love, I have cats, the language is familiar.

selokichtli,

Now they are mortal allies.

selokichtli,

I use it regularly. When I start session in i3, conky is a must for me, eye candy, sure, but some RSS feeds keep me informed with BBC news and other local newspapers feeds, too.

My ubuntu installation broke completely

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I’ve been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to...

selokichtli,

Great post. However, I will add my opinion about Debian Sid and its lineage: just don’t use them for production. Sid is an unstable distribution that looks like a rolling release distribution and most of the time it’s fine, but it is fundamentally different since it’s okay if it gets broken.

I’m guessing the idea behind Siduction is to use this rollback functionality to counter its innate instability, but with solid alternatives like openSUSE or the already installed Linux Mint + Timeshift, I wouldn’t recommend Siduction. Also, Manjaro is unstable by design, wouldn’t recommend that one either.

selokichtli, (edited )

I do. I miss the system tray, to be honest. My way to deal with it is to just push applications I need running all the time to the last workspace and leave this alone. Sometimes I close them unintendedly, oh well…

selokichtli,

Not exactly one that I love, but it’s probably The Prince by Machiavelli.

selokichtli,

It’s hard to put it in words since I’m not an English native, but the fact that some people in charge of the masses act just for the sake of keeping their power. Overall, what impacts me is how much the world leaders act according to those pragmatic ways.

selokichtli,

The political theme is there, like in the video, but the issues covered are definitely for monarchies. The tone is a bit different, as it’s directed not to the masses as a YouTube video. It’s more intimate, I guess. Machiavelli has his own way with words, that’s a highlight, some sentences would give me the shivers. Maybe the morality of his time and ours is just that different, I find it fascinating.

selokichtli,

So angsty.
