There is this Home Assistant integration which I remember getting working. I haven’t used Home Assistant in a while though, so I can’t be a good resource if you need any help.

I have used Fedora for nearly all the time I’ve daily driven Linux, and haven’t encountered any problem that a newbie would encounter and couldn’t overcome, excluding distro-agnostic stuff. Yeah, the h264 shit sucks, but if you use flatpaks you shouldn’t have to worry about it. And if you ever have to face SELinux, then you’re probably doing something that’s beyond beginner level.

rhombus is just a drunk square

So much for Republicans being “tough on crime,” this law would be more effective (for the purpose of fighting street crime) if they just removed the whole racist bullshit. Of course, that’s not what this law is intended to do. This is some stupid political game where Republicans present a bill that is “intended” to fight street crime. Every sane person and media establishment will see and criticise it for being racist, which it is. Then Republicans and Fox can yell about how those darn woke communists “don’t care about the community” and “aren’t tough on crime.” Also did I mention it’s hella racist? Because it’s hella racist.

I’ve recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.

Oh, how dare they use legal mechanisms to try to prosecute a person who participated in insurrection against the United States? And yes, Facebook is a shining example of collusion with the radical leftists. As we all know, they have never helped our glorious leader Tonald Drump gain power.

Oh I’m sure they have plenty of problems, but it’s probably only minorities and poor people who experience them so who cares!

Ah. Guess I’ve just been lucky.

Just a small component being circumvented. Orphan crushing efficiency was not even dented.

I haven’t used Discord in a while so YMMV but I used to use WebCord and screen sharing worked pretty well IIRC. It uses an up-to-date Electron version which has better support for modern desktop Linux protocols. There are probably plenty of other alternative clients that just repackage the web app with better Linux support. There’s also gtkcord4 which is a native Gtk client, though definitely not as polished as the official client.

Can someone please tell me why everyone hates on WebP? It’s supported by basically everything, has better compression, supports both lossy and lossless compression, and supports an alpha channel. It’s basically a trade-off between PNG/JPEG for compatibility and JPEG-XL for features and compression.

This guy gets it. Obviously the graffitist is making commentary on the darn radical leftists at Ford and Dodge, and how they want to “stop global warming” (like that’s a thing, I’m very cold right now!) and “save people money.”

Idk, twenty twenty-something. But Chromium with the YouTube homepage takes less RAM than GNOME Software and GNOME Shell, which either says I should move to Xfce or that Chromium has improved. Can’t speak on VS Code though since I run that in a distrobox and podman is broken for me rn.

Even on Chromebooks you can install Firefox.

The best way to avoid scam emails is just to change your email account’s password to a random string, not save it, then log out. I’ve also shredded my SIM card so I can’t receive scam texts.

Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer Yusuf Medhi called 2024 “the year of the AI PC” in today’s announcement.

What? No! It’s not the “year of the AI PC,” it’s the year of the Linux desktop, like every year before and after! You can’t just steal our year(s) from us!

It’s really “security.” Every big tech company is trying to sell us on “security” over privacy, because as we all know, they are 100% secure and have no data breaches. In fact, it’s even against the law to hack them!

I’m curious why that only prevents people who have sworn an oath. Why should anyone who has engaged in insurrection be able to hold office? Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I am only half awake.
