Trackpoint gang!

What makes it even more crazy is 90% of projects are using github/gitlab/gitea or some other modern git platform that literally has a wiki feature built in. And everyone and their dog either knows or could very quickly learn how to use markdown to write the wiki.

If you want a chatroom at least use matrix as it's open source and privacy respecting. Though IRC is better for a community. And good old forums are best.

I tend to just share lists, and if they can't be bothered to look the song up then their loss

I'm by no means an expert, but how is it the phone can still make emergency calls if it has zero contact with the network if it's simless? Seems like a solution that isn't actually one, especially if you consider stuff like IMIE numbers.

And I'm sure if I could be bothered to look into this solution I would be right.

Plus most tracking and privacy violations work just as well if not better via WiFi.

Sure they should be allowing it, but anyone who cares about digital privacy and freedom that's still using apple devices kinda deserves what they get at this point.

Man I didn't know evil made attacks were so easy to spot!

This! Set up virt manager or Virtual Box, then you can try all the distros you want

I used brave for a while, but left as I felt there was something fishy about them. Seems I was right

As a DWM user I won't be moving for a long time. Yes I know about DWL, but it dosnt have half the patches I use yet.

I do like the lower amount of screen tearing on Wayland, but I've minimised it in Xorg.

So I recently made a discovery that I honesty feel daft for not realizing before.

For anyone who recently moved to Linux or like me didn't think about it there are separate video acceleration libraries for your GPU! Now most of you were probably completely aware of that. But I wasn't so I've been mainly watching TV on my ThinkPad X230 for a couple of years at this point, and I always found video playback kinda lacking sometimes(stuttering, screen tearing, etc), but I always though that was due to the generally bad intel GPU drivers on Linux( there are libraries for AMD and Nvidia too). Until I came across this page on the Arch wiki( which except package names should apply to any other distro).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

And I've since had much better video playback performance that no longer has stuttering and screen tearing!

So I hope this helps someone else at some point in time have a better experience on their Linux distro watching some TV or YouTube.
