God here (taking temporary control of a random human as I don’t have a mobile device, or thumbs for that matter): I gave y’all free choice - and I’m not talkin’ 'bout the vote. Turn off the telly and go start a revolution! (or join an existing rebellion, if you prefer) All my love, God(s)
You’re correct! And its done such a good job that it’s allowed me to forget (unintentionally) that issue even exists!
I used newpipe for a long time, currently using a fork called pipepipe. I forgot why I switched lol
Fedora 40 based distro, some apps have rendering issues when desktop DPI to is set to 125% or 150% (but work fine at 100% or 200%). I thought it was a Gnome issue but it’s actually a Wayland issue displaying legacy X11 apps with fractional scaling.
So my workaround for now is to just find apps with native Wayland support, which isn’t too difficult as it’s growing in popularity.
Speaking of color temp, I shift my local environment’s hue with blues in the morning to assist with alertness, and reds at night for improved low-light vision. I do it manually with an IR remote I have conveniently velcro-taped to the wall next to the light switch. I am interested in your automated setup, I could see it being useful for tying the lights to the security cameras (motion is detected, triggers main lights to full brightness, play doberman_barking.mp3).
VW sold the e-Golf in the US between 2015 and 2019, which was available with physical key and no-frills interior - some base models even sported an analog instrument cluster!
I recently switched to Linux after a lifetime with Windows. Last night I went to install a backup program on my media server but it couldn’t see the destination drive. I downloaded a partition manager and it crashed trying to load the external drive. DDG’d the issue, but I couldn’t find a clear cause/effect that applied to me. So I downloaded a different partition manager and backup program, and they worked right out of the box. Turns out the non-working apps were written for Gnome and the working apps were written for KDE, (which is my desktop environment). It was a very frustrating half hour, but it pales in comparison to the time I’ve spent troubleshooting (storage) driver issues in Windows. The point I’m making is, Linux isn’t really that hard to learn, it’s just unfamiliar and therefore scary. Getting past your fear unlocks a whole new world of wonder and possibilities! 🐧
Psst the URL is: https://alternativeto.net/ I always stop here first to research what software options there are available and also learning what other people are using. Extremely useful and trustworthy site!
If you ever figure it out I’d love to know, too. I relied entirely on Libre Office as an undergrad but missed this feature of MS Word. I currently use a combination of Scribbr and Purdue Owl but would prefer an offline and open source solution.
I do, and have used them in the past. However I’ve had issues with the profiles getting corrupted. Could be user error ;) Installing Waterfox was easier than trying to sort out my profiles.ini and so as you know, nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix :D
I didn’t see Waterfox mentioned in the article or comments, so I’m giving it a shout out now. Firefox is still my #1 browser, which I have synced to all my critical accounts, and use very cautiously, only using a few trustwothy extensions. However, when I want to explore unfamiliar domains or experiment with lesser-known browser extensions, I’ve relied on the equally dependable Waterfox browser. It’s fast, free, and 99% the same as Firefox except it’s a completely different app so you can basically have 2 Firefoxes set up and customized for completely different roles. Between the two, I can keep Chrome frozen on my phone and off my desktop (although I have a portable Chromium on USB for emergencies).
There is a alpha client and instructions available here: https://smartdigihere.com/jellyfin-on-samsung-smart-tv/
However as stated further down the article, it’s easier to just use a web browser and access your jellyfin server that way. Login, bookmark the URL (don’t forget to include the port) and then hit full screen.
Note: You may need to tweak (server side) your transcoding and subtitle settings.
I noticed the age of the interviews after replying - kinda sad, reminded me of forums I joined around that time, and have since dried up as technology evolved. I actually ran opensuse for awhile around that time too (it was not very polished) - shame I didn’t know about the interviews then.
Nowadays I run a Fedora-based distro called Ultramarine - which rocks! Fast, smooth, stable, versatile. Small but knowledgeable and very friendly Discord-based support. Sponsored by a small startup called Fyra Labs. I thoroughly recommend checking them out.
Better than the dreaded Pop 'n Sizzle…
Here’s a page from OpenSuse’s website that links to some really interesting interviews with people who contribute to the project:
https://people.opensuse.org/index.html
Quote from interview with Ludwig:
Q: Three words to describe openSUSE? Or make up a proper slogan! A: Lots of fun!
Q: What do you think the future holds for openSUSE? A: The future is unwritten. As long as we have brilliant people we will see new ideas we haven’t thought about before.
Q: If you would have unlimited resources, what would you do with it? A: What kind of resources?
Q: Let’s say you have money to hire a thousand people to work on openSUSE. Who would you hire and what would you let them do? A: Finally fix RPM, printing and KDE? :-)
Q: Star Trek or Star Wars? A: Star Trek.
Q: Torvalds or Stallman? A: Pfft.
It is indeed exhausting! Warm regards, Joe(s)
