they owned a part of roku at that time, and were forced to sell that to buy tubi.

i’m not. it definitely applies to me. and i’m guessing it would for the majority of the public, too.

i think gnome is actually pretty good… for a desktop with limited duties. like launching a browser and email–perhaps a word processor, and not much else. think a chromebook alternative that could actually do more if you wanted. a lot of things are ‘hidden’ to the user by default, what a user does need to be able to access (wifi, etc) is relatively easy to find, nice big icons that you can put front-and-center while relegating system-related things to a folder. i’ve set up a number of systems like that.

for my own uses though, gnome does need a half-dozen extensions for me to consider it ‘usable’… but i would still prefer a ‘traditional’ desktop experience such as cinnamon

sign me up. can i do it every week i need an extra $1000? (which would be, like, every week)

when the laundry wants $4.50 for a washer and $2.00 (x2) for a dryer everything is washed together and dried together.

time to write the day’s journal:

ctrl-v

just because one person you believe to be the keepers of the code says it’s ok. doesn’t mean it’s the correct person or all the persons permission is needed from, and modifying or distributing the code yourself is still quite risky.

you did well with the ‘hardest part’. good name.

those ‘extensions’ to the spec with the extra formatting are pretty much a must-have feature.

gonna give it a spin when i get back to the office.

love the placeholder on your domain (yea, i looked there too).

when based on alcohol content consumed and not just quantity of beverage, wisconsin doesn’t even rank among the top five u.s. states (which are nh, de, nv, nc, and mt. dc would rank second if it was one). src. one of many found

last week my boss asked her husband to get one specific thing when he went to the store. even took a picture of it (an empty bottle of what she needed more of) with his phone.

yesterday i saw her at the store–exchanging what he brought home for what she needed.

easy to use gui backup utilities (like pika and déjà dup) can also encrypt its backups

firefox just prompted an offer to translate this post.

from french

that was probably the issue. drm support in browsers is usually disabled by default on linux, but enabled on windows.

the odd cases where one still didn’t work on linux, a simple useragent addon in firefox to flip it to windows has usually worked.

but then, even when it is working, linux clients often still get a lesser product as the streaming sites like to reserve higher quality video to clients with os-level drm, restricting linux to 720p or even 480p.

I don’t have any more drives to test this out

you have a drive from a budget-tier vendor. it could very easily a glitchy drive. the only way to know is to replace it with something else.

yea. it might be a good time to buy ‘older’ hardware, but ‘refurbs’ that are blessed by microsoft (gen 8+) are already higher in price than they should be.

there’s also a bunch of sellers everywhere selling the old stuff with ‘windows 11’ at stupid high prices, too. i’ve even seen sellers trying to pass off specs like 2nd-4th gens as ‘new’, calling the old chips ‘reclaimed’ or some bullshit.

reads like an old copypasta.

RARs might have been originally sourced from ‘elsewhere’, that place where the first rule is to not talk about it.

the same tool that can… uh… ‘remove the waterMark’… yea, that’s it. can Also help keep your soon-to-be-abandoned windowS updated.

it pretty much depends on what their distribution agreements have in them–there could be something in there that requires monthly or longer terms for subscribers. if there isn’t, there sure af will be from now on for streaming services carrying ‘cable’ channels

could need a hell of a lot more, if the grifter|liar|pedo|cheater-in-chief dare veto legislation to (re)open the government.

overriding a veto takes more support in congress than just evicting the shitstain from the white house.
