user224 , to android in ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones

Welp, I am the only one in class using Android, so I get some laughs. If I am going to drop Android, it will be for full fledged GNU+Linux phone. Postmarket OS already officially supports Android apps via Waydroid.

I don’t see how I’d use something as restrictive as iOS. Not even being able to sideload apps without jailbreak, so Apple decides what you install.
There’s so much stuff I’d miss, I’d feel like using a modern day feature phone.
How is that cool?

user224 , (edited ) to piracy in Adam Savage endorses piracy, sort of.

I just learned about HDCP. What if you have display without HDCP support? This just sounds like a stupid idea.

Edit: Apparently laptops and computers should have that too. Is there any way I can test it on demand?

Edit 2: Intel just discontinued HDCP on Linux at start of this year.

user224 , to piracy in How to pirate movies casually?

It seems they just use file hosts, although they still do recommend using a VPN.

user224 , to piracy in How to pirate movies casually?

OK, I checked it for you. In Firefox you can open inspector and then head to Network tab and there get the .m3u8 playlist URL. I’d recommend to check in VLC if it works. If playing it in VLC is all you need, good.

Another option is to download it using youtube-dl. I tried it and it started the download, so that will probably work too.

user224 , to piracy in How to pirate movies casually?

If you don’t need to download it, there’s himovies.sx. There used to be option to download, but maybe they had some issues with that.

user224 , to asklemmy in Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

For me it’s other way around. If I have to write I only focus on writing itself, and not the content. This also often causes me to accidentally repeat words, mix up letters, erase it, repeatedly end up writing the wrong letter because I need to speed up, then I have to leave out a section because I already forgot what I wanted to write.
And in the end I still can’t decipher quarter of my handwriting.

user224 , to asklemmy in Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

Just on phone. They’re not important notes though. Just random stuff. I don’t even remember the context for 80% of that.

You get the idea.

user224 , to mildlyinfuriating in Game ad notification on Windows...

Break the

Beautiful words. I shed a tear.

user224 , to mildlyinfuriating in Is... Is this a threat?

Fun fact, if you use the PixelExperience custom ROM, you get free unlimited photo storage in original quality because Google thinks you’re actually using a Pixel phone.

No guarantees they won’t delete your account if they figure out. But it worked for me until I finally got another phone.

Wait, what now?

That sounds awesome!

user224 , to technology in Bots Are Better than Humans at Solving CAPTCHAs

Makes sense. Have you ever tried the impossible Yandex Captcha? Don’t even try. You can’t do it. It is simply not possible for a human to do.

To be honest, I wouldn’t even open the post otherwise.

user224 , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

I just checked Lenovo from Google Search. I only checked the British site, but if you select “No OS” instead of Windows 11 Home, it’s -90£ (115USD)!

Holy hell! I didn’t realize Windows license makes up such a big part of the price.
Now I wonder how much of the price it could be with the cheap Umax laptops sold in Czech republic and Slovakia. They start at €130 with Windows Pro license.

user224 , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

By the way, Ubuntu and probably most Ubuntu-based distros (like Linux Mint) also have driver manager (ubuntu-drivers) that handles drivers similarly to the “search for driver” feature. Except that ubuntu-drivers also let’s you select between multiple drivers and let’s you easily uninstall them.
