  • New Arch-based Distros

    Jump

  • I think only endeavour and Manjaro still hold any use of the arch based distros.

    Endeavour generally has nice tools and is pretty much what you’d do with the install script so it just saves a few steps.

    Manjaro because it’s a gateway into learning arch for better or worse.

    But other than those two I don’t see the point of any other arch distros other than to be made for the sake of it.

    (I forgot steam os 3, but that’s a different topic)

  • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

  • My Reddit account was 2013 so just about 10 years this month when I left.

  • That campaign they ran against Corbyn was truly something else, for fucks sake

    The fact the BBC got away with that sums it up nicely, People say Corbyn was unelectable but honestly, he was insanely popular until the attacks started. Speaking to people in person in my life what I noticed is everyone started to say Corbyn was bad but they had no reason to give other than " He's promised too much he can't do what he says " or " I just don't like him "

    Clearly the establishment knew what he was going to cost them with state run Electric, Railways & dialing back on the private healthcare

  • How does everyone feel about Samsung phones?

    Jump

  • Yeah I use phones on a daily basis as a part of my job everything from apple to Samsung to one plus etc

  • Curb Your Enthusiasm and Crusader Kings III. Sounds good tbh, I'd watch that

  • I wateched strange new worlds and played Stellaris so I guess Star Trek infinite lol

  • Honestly, they're horrible I can't believe people still buy them when wanting an Android experience. They come with so much bloat now and it just feels jank constantly.

    I'd never recommend them to anyone but then again, Google Pixel devices aren't much better due to how unstable they are and you're essentially beta testing the phones as you go. Big part of the issue with Android phones these days.

  • Hey at least the top gun sequel was actually good. I don't think Sequels should be branded as crap movies by default, Sure F&F X and so forth are garbage but there are some genuinely good sequels too.

  • Chilli sauce, or I could just say just any hot sauce in general so Chilli/Pepper sauce because it works on practically everything.

  • Windows won't dominate enterprise in a decade, says outgoing Jamf CEO

    Jump

  • I refused to buy Apple products for 15 years. Recently I grabbed a whole set of them and honestly, there's only one thing I can say. It just fucking works.

    I've been using Linux/Windows for the better part of two decades and I'm just at a point where I don't care to tinker anymore unless I have to, I just wanna have stuff that works especially when it's related to work stuff. Apple stuff is just reliable in that sense, oh my Android phone decided to crash on itself? Yeah my iPhone has had 0 crashes all year I've owned it. My M2 Macbook Air has superior battery life and portability at a more reasonable price than pretty much any competitor on the market?

    Yes certain Apple things are beyond stupid expensive, Hello Apple TV 4K 128gb being £180 on launch?

    But when I want something to work and not have to think about it, the apple stuff fits that need.

  • What would you describe as large?

    The company I work for is a multinational at this point and exclusively uses Google for Mail/Docs. We have I think 600 stores now across 12 countries.

  • $29k before tax and manager fees as an actor for 6 months of work really does not seem worth it, how on earth is that possible?

  • What is your ratio? 😅

    Jump

  • Usenet guy here so no real ratio, my downloads for this month so far are:

    The total is since end of Feb iirc.

  • CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser

    Jump

  • I’m already locked in, I have to use google products daily for work as my work email and drive is all done through google. There’s no moving off that unless I leave my job and even then there’s no guarantee.

    Fuck man, this blows.

  • Has anyone tried one of these Steam Deck alternatives like ROG Ally, GPD, OneXPlayer etc? I'm kinda keen on this Ayaneo Geek 1S

    Jump

  • I had an Aya Neo 2 at work the other day so here's my brief take on it from an experience perspective.

    All the other hand held PC's that aren't the steamdeck are just that, hand held PC's. When you reset or reinstall windows you have no drivers have to plug in a keyboard and mouse to get a driver package of about 19 different things before it's usable then you need to install Aya Neo Space and have that auto launch at startup so that you somewhat get a hand held console experience.

    The deck by contrast is just a single recovery image that is good to go and just works.

    So I'd say if you want something that just works well buy a steamdeck while it may have less games than the others it truly is a pick up and play experience, if you want to tinker look into the others however I'd suggest you avoid the Ally due to the melting SD card issue for now.

  • Spotify’s first US price hike for Premium is coming next week

    Jump

  • It's the quality of service that they offer, I don't mind paying £60-70 a month for all my tv/movies but when the services don't even work well, have terrible experiences and constant caveats to using them it's just not worth it. Go spend the money on a self-hosted solution for a better experience and be done with it. It's not exactly cheaper either it's just less of a headache.

  • Some of us have very good reasons for pirating, I was paying for every service under the sun in the UK last year and I dropped them all simply because the moment I went on holiday practically none of them worked. At that point, I realised that they just weren't worth it and I could build something out and self-host a far better service.

    So I spent something like 2 grand doing that knowing at least I'll never have that issue again, Piracy is always a service issue first and foremost and most of these services are crap. Netflix still at least has a reasonable interface and a good experience across every device but Prime video is atrocious, P+ is likewise terrible and don't ever get me started on NowTV.

  • This is pretty much the best answer, Debian with flatpak is your best option as it will be the most familiar and the safest bet.

    Another alternative is to go the Arch route, which comes with its own headaches.
