Funkwhale is pretty cool to those who use spotify. I love this playlist: open.audio/library/playlists/596

mesamunefire ,

Meh if YouTube died tomorrow there would be a competitor the next day. Google bought YouTube back in the day and there are already like platforms.

mesamunefire ,

We got videos before YouTube, it’s fine.

mesamunefire ,

There are twitch specific ad blocks that have worked for about a year. It’s pretty seamless.

mesamunefire OP ,

Coromon and crosscode look great via the crt and steamdeck. I wanted wargrove as well but the text can’t get any bigger, oh well.

mesamunefire OP ,

Such a fun game.

mesamunefire ,

Our bill went from 80 to 110. We are looking at the bigger networks…and it looks like it’s significantly less than what we are paying.

mesamunefire ,

2 lines. Att has the same for 75 and that’s just att.

mesamunefire ,

I just got a new game off steam, no issues with installation. Thats my experience this entire year.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

mesamunefire ,

peertube is pretty great…just sayin.

mesamunefire , (edited )

Here are some I enjoy:

TILvids pays it’s creators with donations.

mesamunefire ,

A lot of creators are already beginning to work based off donations (AKA patron and other sites). Thats one model that could work. Kinda like lemmy.world.

mesamunefire ,

I thought creators cant disable ads now?

mesamunefire ,

Donations are not ads.

mesamunefire ,

They are doing it randomly for now. Not all users are getting the message.

mesamunefire ,

It’s harder in my opinion. I got it on the miyoo mini plus and it’s much harder than the original in how the AI works. Which is nice. Also lots more cards.

mesamunefire ,

Reminds me of the little toaster.

mesamunefire ,

They are only rolling this out to a subset of people.

mesamunefire ,

NGL PopOs is easy and the works with steam/most things easily.

I really hope Windows doesn’t go subscription based because of the proliferation of ads.

mesamunefire ,

It’s not the same but funkwhale is pretty cool.

mesamunefire ,

Your not wrong. It’s more for sharing. Someone needs to contribute some code.

mesamunefire ,

Wesnoth is pretty fun too.

mesamunefire ,

Poor Bandcamp :(

mesamunefire ,

I used to use them for all my setups. Then the shortages stopped that. Nowadays I just use one big server.

mesamunefire ,

The fairphone and terracube are starting to take off. Being able to replace hardware was a staple in early cell phone design and hopefully will come back.

mesamunefire ,

Yeah… the old terracube has one and I loved it. Now I have a USB c to audio adapter and it sucks.

mesamunefire ,

Are these older sats or the newer ones? I know solar winds can damage sats but I thought that most have redundant systems.

Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

Basically every laptop I’ve owned I’ve had to disable sleep when the lid is closed as I often leave them plugged in and want background tasks like downloads or updates to be able to run while I’m not using the machine. However, I don’t think PC laptops have a way to switch to a super low power state and just run...

mesamunefire ,

I thought most Linux distros support this out of the box?

mesamunefire ,

Yep PGE makes it so that gas is tremendously less expensive than electrical in California. So a lot of people who would normally be upgrading right now will not be doing so.

mesamunefire ,

Unless they go bankrupt, yeah they are sitting on that as long as possible.

mesamunefire ,

Same. Fortunately we love our house so that’s good. It’s going to be our home for at least a decade (probably our forever home).

mesamunefire ,

I have a collection of 3d prints on thingiverse that reattach that part. Highly recommend.

mesamunefire ,

I personally love the nextcloud news app. It is exactly like the old google reader except no ads!

mesamunefire ,

I’ve switched over to OSM+ recently.

The biggest issue with the app is that it’s not the greatest at finding an address. But I found that if I find it and then go there, I can creat a custom market or favorite it, so OSM can now take me there in the future. It’s cut out about 90 percent of Google maps. Still not perfect but it’s been helping me out.

mesamunefire ,

Anything other than proton?

mesamunefire ,

I wish I could read the entire article without an account.

Eric Flint is one of my favorite authors.

mesamunefire ,

Yep

mesamunefire ,

Firefox. Extensions make it soooo much better.

mesamunefire OP ,

Abortions. In some states its illegal and in some its legal. Its also legal in those states to spy on their citizens to make sure they are not looking up that sort of info.

mesamunefire OP ,

I loved Coromon, Tem Tem, and Monster Sanctuary recently so im hoping to see if there are some more great games out there.

How to use CRT as extra monitor?

I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I’d like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one’s surprise) it didn’t work. I used Nvidia’s custom resolution to use...

mesamunefire ,

Ive used: amazon.com/…/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie… to work with the steam deck and my laptop. Works pretty well.

mesamunefire ,

Nice GL!
