  • I use it mostly for YouTube music (which costs almost the same as Spotify), no ads on YouTube is a nice bonus.

  • The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT

  • I highly disagree with recommending regular users to use virtual machines, it defeats the whole purpose, at the end of the day, you are still using windows, and on top of that, it adds additional complexities that can only create frustration to users.

  • Its all Linux !!

  • Do you correct everyone who says Windows instead of Microsoft Windows NT?

  • Don't know why, but they skipped a few cities in Switzerland.

  • Photoshop Terms of Service grants Adobe access to user projects for ‘content moderation’ and other purposes

  • Is that trustworthy? I don't really want to go from Adobe spying to a random russian hacker spying on me.

  • Windows 10 EOL PSA

  • Hahaha, too stable and boring... Do you use OSs as a form of entertainment? No wonder why people can't take Linux enthusiasts seriously.

  • Stremio + Real debrid.

    Stremio is a platform to watch any media you like (works very similar to Plex), you can use it as it is, and install the plugins that are more useful to you (torrentio for example). If your country has strict laws, then you can use real debrid to convert the torrents to direct downloads, you just need to open an account in real debrid, pay a few dollars a month (no need to pay for a VPN as direct downloads are ok), and link your account to stremio, and then you'll have access to lots of content.

    But I only use it to watch the latest linux distributions, nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon watching Fedora 40 while it's raining outside.

  • I am in academia, and I hate how everyone in my field interacts there. Even my supervisor posts relatively important news there (new papers published or conferences etc).

    I used to check it without logging in. But now I can't see a thread without logging in. From all the fields, I thought academia was the first to leave, but no. I tried the mastodon but it is still a ghost town..

    Spotify quietly moves lyrics behind a paywall.

    Jump

  • You basically need professional headphones and speakers to notice any difference, my guess is that 99% of Spotify customers have headphones that didn't cost more than $100, so why would they care? I mean, I have nice headphones and speakers and after some blind tests I couldn't notice any difference.

  • Windows 11 will reportedly display a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements

  • In corporate world, where I think MS makes most of the money, windows is the standard (unfortunately).

  • U.S. likely to enact a law soon that could ban TikTok nationwide, President Joe Biden vowed to sign it into law

  • Check out the new video by "some more news", it's more comedy than anything, by it deals with some reputable sources.

    The effect is not clear cut, and there are many other confounding effects that might be more important, and being glued to your phone might be a symptom more than a cause, but I agree that excessive social media and short format videos are bad for you, but that can be said about video games or even regular games.

  • U.S. likely to enact a law soon that could ban TikTok nationwide, President Joe Biden vowed to sign it into law

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm almost 100% sure the "tiktok is damaging kid's brains" is the millennial equivalent of boomers "videogames and TV are damaging kid's brains".

    I'm a millennia by the way, and we are starting to sound a bit afraid of technologies.

    "Yeah, but what if we used AI?"

    Jump

  • Your example was on Google Chrome, and your example said you had tabs opened with searches, so I assumed you were using chrome. I guess bad assumption though...

  • The US has so much space

    Jump

  • Exactly, it's a ridiculous example because it sounds just as ridiculous as saying US and EU are in principle the same type of union.

    I was being hyperbolic with my last sentence so you can see how ridiculous your statement sounds to me.

  • If you are using Google Chrome they already have your browser history... Why are you suddenly worried about privacy just now?

  • The US has so much space

    Jump

  • True, but my point is that if a country decides not to follow one of the directives, they can just leave if they want, they are agreements that they want to be part of, they are not merely imposed by EU. Nothing like the US and their federal government.

    This is like saying that marriage and a double match of tennis are the same type of union or follow the same principle, no, they are not.

  • The US has so much space

    Jump

  • Sure dude, EU and US, same principle, same as united nations, united airlines and IUPAC. Same principle, they are a union of things, if you mean that as "principle", sure.

    EU doesn't have rules that everyone has to follow, they have agreements, that are often very specific between nations. UK was part of the EU with their own currency for example. So no, it's not the same type of union, unless you simplfiy it to "union of things"which of course is the same principle.

    Also any member of the EU can leave unilaterally (like the UK), not so much for the US. I don't think they follow the same principle, again, unless you think of it just as a "union of things"

  • The US has so much space

    Jump

  • "not much unlike"? They are both nothing alike, except that they are some sort of union.

    I mean, if you say that in real life to anyone who is half aware of how the government works, they would laugh at you.

  • The US has so much space

    Jump

  • What no... What are you talking about? EU is not even close to the government structure of the US. Starting that each EU country has their own military, and the EU president has absolutely no power on each of the EU members military.
