There is a difference between open source and source available…

Gamey ,

I will keep a eye on it but till the license changes I will stick with my tried and true Newpipe and Libretube apps. Both of those are “improved revanced” to me already but the idea of multiple sources is a cool one, not new but certainly cool and I haven’t seen Nebula in other attempts but I just wish people could agree on a addon standard to implement services for various of those apps and media centers at once!

Gamey ,

Almost no third party frontend supports iOS because of their absolutely shitty sideloading limitations and they still work great…

Gamey ,

Third party frontends of all kinds are forbidden on the Play and App store but we Android users have F-Droid and if the license is changed at some point (it’s supposed to be temporary as far as I understand) it will probably land there, till then Obtanium is probably your best bet I guess.

Gamey ,

That’s something I am also very much interested in but I haven’t looked it up or tried yet so no clue!

Gamey ,

It uses Piped servers to proxie the videos which hide your IP address but those servers are run by volunteers and aren’t always perfect so it’s more of a hit or miss but if one doesn’t work I usually switch and doing that between kavin.rocks, libre.kavin.rocks and adminforge.de usually works very well for me, I just wish there was a proper way to store my subscriptions locally beside not using a Piped account at all!

Gamey ,

Very interesting, I doubt it’s going to stay there long because this is literally the first third party frontend of all kinds I as privacy enthusiast have ever seen accepted and I really wonder how they did that!

Gamey ,

Yea, it’s crashy enough already but one of the last few updates was a fucking mess!

Gamey ,

Small creators have terrible rates for Spotify because they pocket most of the money themself, even many big creators struggle to make significant money with that peace of shit of a app and they have far better rates so I get the idea but you are very wrong!

Gamey ,

That’s the easiest task for a criminal!

Gamey ,

The meme is good but I refuse to read the xomments below it, I am very close to quitting Lemmy for good already and only look at my own feed and my local timeline by now because the rest is fucking disgusting!

Gamey ,

That’s a great list, you could probably add yt-dlp for those who want to download and/or convert on their desktops (on Android Newpipe dose a great job for that) but in terms of noteworthy frontends and clients the list looks very comolete to me!

Gamey ,

Oh and Smart Tube next, that’s what I use on my Android TV and it even has Sponsorblock!

Gamey ,

As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!

Gamey ,

As a Gnome user I approve of this comment, some more colors would be awesome, especially if they are standartized through xdg!

Gamey ,

Let’s hope they can pull it off soon, XFCE really surprised me with the speed at which they transition but it’s a huge project for any DE and we are slowly getting to a point where it’s actually neccecary!

Gamey ,

When I switched from Windows definitely Cinnamon but by now it’s Gnome, it’s a little odd at first but I absolutely love the workflow!

I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I’m tired of scrapping the web and it doesn’t help that I have limited data....

Gamey ,

It’s still a little buggy and lacks many of the CSGO features, I just wish they didn’t disable CSGO that early, that worked great!

Gamey ,

True!

Gamey ,

Hmmm, I definitely have to look into that!

Gamey ,

The Fairphone part of that review is great but it also includes a lot of Greenwashing from short term garbage producers like Apple and Samsung in a very uncritical way, I can recommend it as a Fairphone review but be aware that the rest isn’t great!

Gamey ,

Let’s give the Twitter guy another chance, I mean we all loved his platform sooo much before Musk, right? …

Gamey ,

Centralized serives tend to have server issues once they get more popular so it’s not really a surprise the new Twitter shithole did so too!

Gamey ,

If I am not wrong decentrlization is a very old promise for that platform and not actually implemented in any way…

Gamey ,

If they invent their own protocol it’s probably going to take another year or two before wee see a usable implementation tho, the core components of Bluesky are closed source, well and Threads should be a activity pub app too but I have my doubts if they will ever implement it tbh!

Gamey ,

Yea, I have my issues with Lemmy too ever since the Israel/Palestina conflict got violent again so my by far favorite and most used is Mastodon, to me that feels like a supirior Microblogging site that actually dose things different and doesn’t just try to reimplement Twitter!

Gamey ,

It’s a little hit or miss and fairly unstable at times but I use Piped to avoid any of that shit!

Gamey ,

I have a question regarding that too, I tried to get a GOG copy from Fitgirl working with Lutris but it keeps asking more for authendifiation to run one of the presets and the button for that seems broken so I can’t evdn try to log in.

Gamey ,

Hmm, doesn’t installing without a config require to do everything manually or do things like the .NET installer actually work within the Wine container?

Gamey ,

Interessting, I guess I just hit a edge case with my first game then, Fedora isn’t always as up to date as it gets but it’s usually up to date enough and the game I tried is actually over a year old.

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

Gamey ,

As someone who got started with Linux using Mint too years ago I think you got a great selection there and I wouldn’tup listen too much to the comments, big oarts of the Linux crowd on Lemmy came from Lemmy and it’s toxic and shitty so they will tell you you are wrong no matter what you do or say and recommend terribble things to newcomers! Just flash Mint Cinnamon or Elementary on a USB stick, boot them up and play around with both before you decide which you want to install. I am a Fedora Gnome user myself and as someone who probably values simplicity (mac user) Gnome could be interesting to check out too but it’s very different to anything else out there and you already got two great options to try there! :)

Gamey ,

It’s a fantastic distro to get started, I think the main advantage are various GUI tools for more advanced things that other distros usually require the Terminal for which can be a bit scarry at first. Elementary looks a lot more like MacOS and might be a little more familiar at first while Mint has a fairly similar layout to traditional Windows (7/10), keep in mind that nether of them is a copy tho and you will run into differences. I do think that Mint is the best beginner Distro because of those GUI tools but it can’t hurt to try both, almost all Linux distros have live boot to play with them from a USB stick first so you won’t have to actually install anything to check them out. In case you go for Mint make sure to pay attention to the welcome screen once you installed it, that guides you through a lot of stuff like configuring automatic backups and the driver manager to download potentialky missing drivers!

Gamey ,

The terminal is fantastic once you roughly understand what the commands you execute do but that requires a bit of experience and it’s great to have GUI tools for certain things. Modern Linux usually covers everything a normal user should need with GUI tools but there are always edge cases where you have to do something more advanced and I feel like especially those are tough to do in a terminal for new users which is why I appreciate Mint so much! It’s been quite a few years since I switched so many things are different by now but I moved back to Windows two times myself from Kubuntu and Manjaro before I discovered Mint so I never get tired to recommend it. Good luck on your journey! ;)

Gamey ,

Don’t try to tell them in their “community”, lemmy.world users are as nasty as always!

Gamey ,

No acknowledgement or sorry for their stupid garbage and if you try to mention it in their “community” you won’t have a good time, definitely not going to follow anything on that instance except the shitposts again but good to see that they correct a mistake at all I guess!

Gamey ,

What tf was woke about that or even better question what tf dose woke even mean by now?..

Gamey ,

That’s just shitty moderation and probably a overworked mod team, not sure what drug you got your hands on but I would kind of like to try it if you have any left!

Gamey ,

There is a difference betwen cencorship and moderation and one of them is a must sve or you end up with 4chan 2.0 but in this case the decition was bad the the reasoning even worse!

Gamey ,

Lemmy mods have a horrible and unthankful job, they get flooded with CSAM we never have to see and I didn’t experience any issues with mods so far, is it possible that the issue is related to the kind of stuff you post?

Gamey ,

You seem to confuse mods and admins, the only thing mods do is run and and moderate specific communities to keep a nice environment people want to participate in. Admins on the other hand manage the instance and are vastly different for most instances (there are some with significant overlap like Lemmy.ml and Lemmingrad but that’s usually not the case) and they are behind something like defederations. I didn’t see many unjustified defederation and block attempts so far tho, Lemmy.world fucked up with the piracy communities and I did view their proactive defederation from Hexbear critical but now that I know what Hexbear really spreads around the Fediverse I actually switched instance just to get rid of them so I guess they where right on that one!

Gamey ,

Dbzer0 made that public right after the block occured, the person created a new acxount on lemmy.world with no posts just to retaliate. Not sure how much trueth is behind their new claims that they got multiple takedown requests but for some reason I was insulted for not knowing never mentioned or published, would certainly be a better reason but conaideringtheir past behaviour and complete lack of aknowledgment I am not too sure about that tbh.

Gamey ,

Damn, I want your drugs!

Gamey ,

Unless you are a mobile gamer there is no reason for such overpowered CPUs, in most cases they are just there because higher numbers sell better!

Gamey ,

That’s usually a combination of planned obsolesence and bad software, Smasung flagships for example start to significantly slow down after roughly a year of usage. These CPUs are more than enough for daily tasks like web browsing and as soon as you have a manufacturer with good software support or load something like LineageOS on the device it usually works very well again, in some cases you also need a new battery because many clock down once that looses capacity.

Gamey ,

Do you use the default Android install or aomething like LineageOS, Callyx or /e/OS? I use a Oneplus 6 with LineageOS and the slowdown dose exist but it’s barely noticable.

Gamey ,

You are on Lemmy.world pal, I left that instance because it’s too neo liberal and right leaning for my taste… Are you by any chance a american because unless you post in Lemmy.ml all the time I can’t really imagine that from a european perspective! If you count the facists from Hexbear and Lemmingrad that you instance defederated from as left (which they really aren’t by the original definition of the left/right devide) it might be but I think unless you try to spill neo liberal garbage the backlash will probably be limited tbh!

Gamey ,

Maybe spend some of it on a good app rather than marketing and exclusive deals, well or fire your workers and hope that accident of a game store will fix itself I guess!

Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more...

Gamey ,

Wine simulates a Windows environment to some degree, Steam is the only platform that fixed the reporting issue and that wasn’t always the case ether because the system tells the game it’s Windows.
