I’ll check it out. I’ve been using Breezy Weather and have been happy with it as well.

Not my kid. She only had it on for a specific reason and she only accepts she had to put up with it for now.

She’s more than happy to bring it up as an issue from time to time.

Ok. I’ve put in a SSD, I’m looking to add RAM (I may be already maxed out), and run zswap, etc. I guess I’ll be sticking with LibreOffice.

I use the laptop for ham radio stuff, mostly, and things like an office suite are secondary.

How is it on resources? I have a i386 project computer running Debian 12 and I’m looking to make it as “modern” as possible. Right now, my fight is with slow browsers and LibreOffice (I’m trying to avoid the Abiword, etc route).

These videos exist for monetization purposes.

Does anyone know if one where to view videos through Piped, NewPipe, FreeTube, etc the view would count towards engagement?

Basically, it’s the same upgrade procedure as Debian’s with the added step of editing rasp.list.

I know where you’re coming from. I have direct access to my music at home and use Strawberry to play them.

Plex (as far as I know) is only “free as in beer,” so i doubt you’re going to have any success finding a 3rd party music player. I have the Linux app for when I’m away and don’t want to use my phone but the tiny, Android-sized Plexamp app on my desktop is out of place, and has its own eq, compression, etc.

I was a Xubuntu user for about 15 years but have an old EeePC running Debian.

I just recently moved my main, home computer (10+ yo EliteBook) to Debian 12 and am very happy. I will be soon moving my amateur radio “shack” computer (bought last year) to Debian as well.

Forcing Snaps and Snaps’ terrible usage of disk space (in my experience) is what made me move. The annoying Firefox update warning only served to aggravate me further.

I do use a couple Flatpaks (did with Ubuntu as well) but it was my choice - not a requirement. I haven’t had any disk use problems or bad experiences with them.

If like add another question - how about in a RPi too? I believe there is a LineageOS android TV out there. For anything have any experience with it?

I find using a combination of AdAway and AFWall+ on android to be effective in blocking a lot of stuff. I run as root.

Probably not.

KeepassXC with Syncthing is the best option I’ve found.

I’m not a dev-type but the rumor is Lemmy broke federation somehow with the upgrade to 0.18.

Edit: I just saw my federated content on Mastodon…so I don’t know

I wanted to mention I can’t follow !amateur_radio on mastodon either.

As an early Mastodon user, it went through something like this when overt Nazis (gab, et al) federated and often used misleading names for instances. The result was an immediate reaction in disgust from the vast majority of the fediverse and rampant defederations of hateful instances.

While I blocked the community, I don’t want my little community blocked because the whole instance is defederated. Should that happen I will leave - an advantage of federation.

Edit: I also blocked the 2 posters. There were only 2.

Read It Can’t Happen Here, by Sinclair Lewis. It’s disturbing.

“Has become,” cute. I think a reasonable argument can be made they became one post-New Deal and definitely after LBJ’s legislation and the greater Civil Rights movement. They certainly were one by the time Barry Goldwater and Nixon’s southern strategy.

If anyone is looking, I made !amateur_radio (https://sh.itjust.works/c/amateur_radio).
