YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.
I’ve heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it’s wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.
Nebula is great.
It’s pretty funny to watch a quick “check out our extended content on Nebula” video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)
It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.
Nebula is terrific!
It does take some time to find everything. It’s not (much of) an algorithm, so I just had to explore and start subscribing to things.
because you probably don’t know how software is built.
Oh shit. Nevermind then.
What I’m hearing is: I can replace saying “I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads” with "I host a part of the ‘Deep Net’.
Sweet.
I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can’t go under water.
This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.
We’re not demanding submersible cars, we’re just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.
I’m confident that there’s going to be a great deal of broken… everything…built with AI “assistance” during the next decade.
People forgetting that when you ran out of lives you used to have to go back to the start of the whole game.
We remember. It was bullshit back then. It’s still bullshit now.
Edit: I beat those games on three lives. It was still some bullshit.
I can accept stupid decisions. I don’t have to respect them.
If I recall correctly, it has been released for moile on and off as experimental builds. Last time I grabbed an APK, it wasn’t ready (as an editor - as a document reader it works fine).
Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn’t.
I did this experiment on my own kids. They find Linux more usable, and find it hard to believe people tolerate Windows.
There’s also some indoctrination involved.
But they have access to both, and they prefer Linux. I think that the “Windows is genuinely easier” argument doesn’t hold any water anymore.
Sure, but it’s not quite the compelling argument it used to be.
Today, I’m not sitting here pining for old Linux software that stopped working. And the small amount of old windows software that did finally stop working actually works now only works on Linux with Wine.
That’s another of the decision points that finally switched to fully favoring Linux, for me, in the last decade.
There is such a law, but many of us feel that Microsoft has proven malice a few times, when it comes to open standards.
Linux Mint is so nice.
I would turn off “Secure Boot” in BIOS before doing the upgrade.
It officially works, but can throw in unnecessary challenges - and Mom probably isn’t traveling with national secrets next week anyway.
That’s a pretty good description of what GrapheneOS does with the sandboxed Google services.
I have found that the only apps that don’t work well with Samdboxed Google services are ones that work hard to invasively probe their runtime environment.
Thwy usually fall into these three categories:
That looks like exactly what I’m looking for in my next phone. Thanks.
Do you have access to credit unions?
The GrapheneOs team is quite particular about hardware.
I would gladly purchase a phone that came preloaded with LineageOS.
“Better than we have now.” often wins over waiting for perfection.
CoMaps is quite nice.
There are also still companies selling navigation devices that mount in a car windshield, assuming the car doesn’t already have one built in.
Pro tip - those navigation devices also often have an accident camera that records if it feels an impact - which is a good idea anyway.
