For me, they’re more trouble than they’re worth. For wanting to support your favorite artists, I’m rewarded with unskippable trailers and FBI warnings, and if you want to play Blurays on PC, well… Just take a look at this. Keydb files? BD+ decryption? What happened to just putting the stupid disc in the machine and...
I would really like to ditch Steam in favour of a native GTK application which integrates better with my system and which is also libre software....
How was it? What programs did you use?...
What would you do if you came across Jeff Bezos on the street or somewhere else for some reason?...
I want to setup a matrix instance to help increase friends and family’s privacy. Is there much value in creating my own instance?...
Some projects only give you .tar.gz, what am I supposed to do with them? Is this what people call building from source? Am I supposed to move it to /opt and extract it in Debian based distros? Does this also work on Arch based ones?
So I’m install Manjaro for a friend and it’s the first time he uses a Linux distribution, but he still needs a couple of Windows applications so I was wondering if anyone could recommend me an easy to use GUI to install .exes (not for video games, but for applications) so that he can install them without too much hassle.

I just saw the huge list of sites that yt-dl supports, and it’s … well staggering. I’ve been playing around with it a bit more, and I’m writing custom aliases for ease of downloading. For example I made:...
Do you use it? Do you like it? Dislike it? How do you think it compares to the native package manager, or other cross-distro package managers like Snap or Flatpak?
Because having too few would be too RISC-y.
Hi. I’m downloading a torrent using BiglyBT, and it says I have no seeds for my torrent. Is there a way to find more seeds for my torrent? I was using i2p to download, but my download kept getting stalled, so I decided to switch over to BiglyBT.
Hey, I am relatively new to the federated web and I only use lemmy currently. But I love the idea of an alternative social web ecosystem that is not ruled by big corporations. To see how the fediverse has developed in 2020 I decided to look into the stats (stats go from 2nd January 2020 til today) over at...
If I want to read washingtonpost.com/…/post-american-world-is-now-f…, I have to use archive.vn which allows me to go past the paywall (archive.vn/yTP0x). However, archive.vn is still proprietary so I installed ArchiveBox which is free software but does not go past the paywall. Does anyone have any solutions?
Here’s a pattern you’ve probably seen:...
As far as I know there is still no federation for Lemmy, correct? So what’s the biggest hurdle to getting started and how do we resolve it?
other than overall stability, what does one instance have over another?
