Many distros are better than ubuntu nowdays. PopOS happens to be one of those

Electric cars do not address any of the main issues cars bring to our society, which are:

  • Pollution – Cars are responsible for a significant amount of global and local pollution (microplastic waste, brake dust, embodiment emissions, tailpipe emissions, and noise pollution). Electric cars eliminate tailpipe emissions, but the other pollution-related problems largely remain.
  • Infrastructure (Costs. An Unsustainable Pattern of Development) – Cars create an unwanted economic burden on their communities. The infrastructure for cars is expensive to maintain and the maintenance burden for local communities is expected to increase with the adoption of more electric and (someday) fully self-driving cars. This is partly due to the increased weight of the vehicles and also the increased traffic of autonomous vehicles.
  • Infrastructure (Land Usage & Induced Demand) – Cities allocate a vast amount of space to cars. This is space that could be used more effectively for other things such as parks, schools, businesses, homes, and so on. We miss out on these things and are forced to pile on additional sprawl when we build vast parking lots and widen roads and highways. This creates part of what is called induced demand. This effect means that the more capacity for cars we add, the more cars we’ll get, and then the more capacity we’ll need to add.
  • Independence and Community Access – Cars are not accessible to everyone. Simply put, many people either can’t drive or don’t want to drive. Car-centric city planning is an obstacle for these groups, to name a few: children and teenagers, parents who must chauffeur children to and from all forms of childhood activities, people who can’t afford a car, and many other people who are unable to drive. Imagine the challenge of giving up your car in the late stages of your life. In car-centric areas, you face a great loss of independence.
  • Safety – Cars are dangerous to both occupants and non-occupants, but especially the non-occupants. As time goes on cars admittedly become better at protecting the people inside them, but they remain hazardous to the people not inside them. For people walking, riding, or otherwise trying to exercise some form of car-free liberty cars are a constant threat. In car-centric areas, streets and roads are optimized to move cars fast and efficiently rather than protect other road users and pedestrians.
  • Social Isolation – A combination of the issues above produces the additional effect of social isolation. There are fewer opportunities for serendipitous interactions with other members of the public. Although there may be many people sharing the road with you (a public space), there are some obvious limitations to the quality of interaction one can have through metal, glass, and plastic boxes.

Eternity for lemmy is peak user experience imo

UprisingVoltage ,

Lmaooo

UprisingVoltage ,

Neo launcher

UprisingVoltage ,

Seems like rocksteady is not involved in this one. For better or worse

UprisingVoltage ,

Privacy redirect has been discontinued for years, I strongly suggest using libredirect

UprisingVoltage ,

This is very useful actually, how did you get those?

UprisingVoltage ,

Newpipe is in active development and just updated a few days ago, they just have a slow release schedule.

I use tubular and it’s great, but Tubular itself is still subject to newpipe’s release cycle.

Not sure why people started thinking newpipe is unmantained, this is the second time I hear it here on Lemmy

UprisingVoltage ,

Play store is preinstalled on billions of devices, F-Droid is only used by a bunch of (very based) nerds.

Google is most definitely not scared of F-Droid

UprisingVoltage ,

Let’s goooo

UprisingVoltage ,

Absolutely agree. It’s counterintuitive, but waking up earlier than you need to and start your day slowly actually makes you feel more rested and calm (provided you’ve still slept sufficiently)

UprisingVoltage ,

If you have android 11+ (which has support for wireless debug), this is the best way.

Tutorial for the uninitiated. Looks complicated at first but after you’ve done it once you’ll breeze through it from that time on

UprisingVoltage ,

Thank you brain, very cool

I was curious whether some scandal about data being sent to russian govt had emerged after the war, but apparently things are as they used to be.

Mind you, AVs have a scary control over your system, and I totally respect not wanting to use one headquartered in Russia (and since the government security agencies have ties within those companies even in the “free world” (lmao) it’s safe to assume Russian govt has them inside Kaspersky too).

With that being said, kaspersky is actually a multinational corporation present in many areas of the world, I wonder how much influence Moscow actuallt has over them.

UprisingVoltage ,

I agree and I also support the “common sense is the best av” argument, but for less tech savy people and workplaces I do think it’s necessary to have a last hope safety net against malware

UprisingVoltage ,

Kaspersky has faced controversy over allegations that it has engaged with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB)—ties which the company has actively denied. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security banned Kaspersky products from all government departments on September 13, 2017. In October 2017, subsequent reports alleged that hackers working for the Russian government stole confidential data from the home computer of an American National Security Agency contractor via Kaspersky antivirus software. Kaspersky denied the allegations, reporting that the software had detected Equation Group malware samples which it uploaded to its servers for analysis in its normal course of operation.[13] The company has since announced commitments to increased accountability, such as soliciting independent reviews and verification of its software’s source code, and announcing that it would migrate some of its core infrastructure for foreign customers from Russia to Switzerland. In November 2020, Kaspersky finished relocating the data of its customers from Russia to Switzerland.[14][15] The company has also opened multiple transparency centers in Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Spain and Malaysia which allow state agencies, government experts and regulators to review its source code.[16][17]

Because you need people to build a community, and like it or not, most people are on discord

There are other reasons but I think this is the main one

UprisingVoltage ,

Why not? If it’s the best game of the year in multiple categories why deny its merits and penalize it for it?

UprisingVoltage ,

Facts

Are there any online or in-person communities dedicated to minimizing the influence advertising has on its members? Do you know any strategies to minimize this effect on you?

Is there a lemmy community, for example, where people discuss shopping strategies which minimize the risk of the purchase decision being influenced by Brand Image or Flashy Packaging? Or similar topics. Maybe what product categories have cheapest products that are bad, so you can’t apply an objective criterion while making the...

*Ublock Origin, an extension for firefox and Ublock origin Lite, an extension for chrome and derivatives

Not trying to be pedantic, people who never heard of it could straight up download the wrong software

UprisingVoltage ,

Last but not least, yes, we are in development on the next chapter – The Elder Scrolls VI. Even now, returning to Tamriel and playing early builds has us filled with the same joy, excitement, and promises of adventure.

So still no updates on TES6 then. Saved you a click I guess

UprisingVoltage ,

Very fun game, I’ve been into it for a while and really enjoyed watching gameplay. Unfortunately i grew tired of it before the sales, and I ended up not buying it

UprisingVoltage ,

I fucking hate US

UprisingVoltage ,

ULWGL gets renamed to umu (Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher)

Thank you thank you thank you

UprisingVoltage ,

Is it just me or very few games support FSR3? Which is a shame, it looks amazing on paper

UprisingVoltage ,

What’s the mod?

UprisingVoltage ,

🍿🥤

UprisingVoltage ,

That’s the first time I hear it, could you share some example / sources?

UprisingVoltage ,

Came to say this lol

UprisingVoltage ,

I tried to enable it, but I can’t quite understand if I managed… Is there some tool to check?

UprisingVoltage ,

github.com/octoshrimpy/quik is an active fork of QKSMS

Alternatively, f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.messages/ exists

UprisingVoltage ,

Fossify phone is a forked version of Simple dialer in active development and without all the shitty ads and telemetry SMT apps now have

The same people also forked other SMT apps, check them out if you didn’t know them

UprisingVoltage ,

Eternity is great

UprisingVoltage ,

The first fantasy life is super cozy. Very excited for the sequel

UprisingVoltage ,

Wow, this looks amazing! Also top tier steam deck game

UprisingVoltage ,

This guy is a wizard. Actual black magic

UprisingVoltage ,

Please stop making it so easy. It’s really not

UprisingVoltage ,

Hey I know them, they’re both great!

UprisingVoltage ,

You can check here plexus.techlore.tech and ask on the lineageos community forums (lemmy, reddit ecc)

It’s best if you have a test device to try them on though

UprisingVoltage ,

I use gitlab.futo.org/alex/voiceinput

Pretty good for me so far

UprisingVoltage ,

My bad, I misread it

UprisingVoltage ,

Top line in gaming

UprisingVoltage ,

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

UprisingVoltage ,

Linux could teach 'em a thing or three

UprisingVoltage ,

Izzy, bitwarden, newpipe, collabora office

UprisingVoltage ,

Yeah, I hear it often from people who tried it. Still worth a shot once in a while, as long as they keep updating it
