Bingeing, Weekly, or Batches? Is There a Right Way to Roll Out a Series on Streaming? in c/Television@lemm.ee

Wait until the season pack is available as a torrent, then binge it

GNU Taler v1.0 released and is operating in Switzerland in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

It's likely an alternative to blik or internal revolut/n26/cashapp transfers. And in that regard it's an improvement because of its openness. But privacy is not one of the reasons to use it.

There used to be external chargers. I'm not speaking Nokia times, I had a Xiaomi phablet with Android 5 or 6 with one of these. Just a frame for the battery with an USB input.

With a replaceable battery, you just carry a second one and swap them on the go

Webm supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks inside its RIFF container structure, why the hell arent browsers supporting it??? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

I never used one tbh. Last time I used something WebGL was when its tech demo was released.

Of course all of these have uses, that's why they exist. I just find these use cases very rare/exotic compared to viewing a video with subs.

Running Steam and games securely (lemm.ee)
 

Is there a consensus on how to run Steam and games isolated from the main system? I've seen Flatpak mentioned in some Reddit post but I'm not sure how good the separation is. Everything about Flatpak sounds like an early work in progress, but I can be convinced otherwise.

I don't trust Steam or the closed source games at all. Currently I've got a second disk with a separate system for gaming, but I very rarely have the motivation to reboot. I want to game more (and spend less time on social media) but compromising my main OS is out of the question. Stuff in the home directory should be isolated from the games. Ideally no network access too, but Steam will not work in that case.

If someone has seen a ready made guide I'd be happy to read it. Any tips would be nice too.

Roll-on deodorant refill? (lemm.ee)
 

I've noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I'm using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven't found any refill fluid on the market.

I know some people use powders etc, I'm not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?

Drive safely! (lemm.ee)

Trying and failing to use lemm.ee on mobile (lemm.ee)
 

I'm trying to log in to my brand new lemm.ee account using Jeroba on Android. I copied the password from my laptop, and the login is rather hard to get wrong, and Jeroba keeps giving me "invalid login" error.

When I'm trying to use web version of lemm.ee via Bromite (Android web browser based on Chrome), the circle keeps spinning and login page does not display any error or complete the login. When refreshing, I'm still not logged in. I tried desktop mode in Bromite too, same problem.

On the laptop everything works perfectly with the web version.

Is this something on your side or Jeroba?
