I know it's on Linux as a Flatpak, it's also on Android

Totally agree with the FreeTube recommendation. Libredirect will even open links in FreeTube. I use IVPN and use non obscure servers but every once in a while I do have to try a different one.

You could also try Grayjay instead of Freetube

Hahaha so many articles on different percentages

I've got Mint XFCE on two old laptops

A number of things are integrated to make a simpler setup, it's a single binary, and can be installed easily on an openwrt router and opnsense.

I really think convienence is a huge difference as that's what gets people using stuff and to continue to use stuff

You should rescue your son now and switch him to Linux

If you get a Gl.inet router be aware that you can reflash the firmware with one based on the mainline OpenWRT kernel or also completely get rid of the gl.inet stuff and run straight OpenWRT. The flint 2 is a really nice router that has Adguard Home (PiHole competitor and arguably better) integrated for ease of use.

I saw that too. It's crazy what people put up with

I thought the 5% story was for USA users

SteamOS, Bazzite, and the Plasma DE I think are what's driving Linux to be more popular. They are all very streamlined experiences.

Are you positive it's all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?

Also sidenote, look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps

 

I've been fairly successful at getting people to get on Signal of recent. However, I cannot find them in Signal to send a message. I'm on GrapheneOS, have them saved in the default contacts app (not something isolated like Fossify), and I have refreshed the contacts list in Signal. That doesn't work. So I type their number in the "find by phone number" and then all it offers is to "invite to signal".

Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I'm trying not to lose people from the Signal train but this is a real turn off for normies.

 

Does anyone have opinions on Revelation vs Emerald Cross? Both are vanilla+ experiences of Pokémon Emerald for the GBA. They both look very good but I would like to enjoy the one that that is the better vanilla+ experience.

For comparison, I'm nearing beating the Pokemon league in Polished Crystal and absolutely love the game.

 

On the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 can Rocknix be installed as the sole OS while completely removing Android? I've only seen reference to dual booting when searching online.

 

Sorry I accidentally deleted my last post. I appreciate the answers the two people gave.

This is some big larva I found and the head looks centipede-ish but the body is short and fat with less legs.

I went through my images and found an old photo of a beetle that was on my screen door. Maybe it's a larva for one of these?

 

Hey everyone, I've been a long time photographer on a hiatus. Ever since learning about the existence of EQ mounts I have been excited to get back into photography and try the astro side of it.

I have a 300mm f/2.8 lens for my DSLR and am wondering if that focal length is any good. Thanks!

I don't use Discord much anymore and haven't used this program but this looks like a nice 3rd party Discord flatpak. It supports screensharing on Wayland. Just thought I'd share with the community

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a modern designed case (preferably SFF) that has retro asthetics. Examples would be the SilverStone FLP01 and Ayaneo's Retro Mini PCs.

 

Are there any reviewers on YouTube/Rumble/etc. or independent blogs that don't post affiliate links, aren't sponsored by the printer company, or had one sent out by the company? Those to me all seem like a conflict of interest.

Yes people need to make money, I'm not blind to that, but they can advertise other things that aren't a direct conflict of interest.

I'm looking to get my first printer and would like to get info from an unbiased source. I just don't know enough to weed through the million 3D printer channels.

The Sovol SV06 Ace seems nice with little research as it is large enough to print the project I have in mind and uses open source firmware (Klipper) which is a must for me.

 

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.

 

Anyone else getting Umbrella "No stream available" errors?

I had watched stuff, shutdown, next day tried watching the same thing again as well as other shows/movies and got the error. No changes to the program or service. Now the majority of shows and movies give the error
