Can the term potency also be used to refer to the exponent in English? Because that is what is meant by the terms in the other languages and I haven’t come across that usage of the word potency in English

If you read the article you find that he didn’t actually sell furniture, he got people on Facebook marketplace to pay him money for the privilege of collecting free furniture from Craigslist. It’s a really shitty scheme

I used to think like you but have been using endeavouros for the last 2 years or so and never felt like I an lacking stability.

Okay but the penguins do make sense, right? Penguins are like the mascot of linux

Where exactly is their company going? I’ve only ever heard good things about them

The woman’s hand in the back looks weird.

Raspberry pies are more powerful than you give them credit here. Nothing wrong with using systemd on them

Oh yeah their efforts are definitely a huge net benefit for the Linux community, I just don’t like seeing big companies portrayed in a better light than they deserve. When it comes down to it, what valve really cares about is still their bottom line.

Proton is based on wine, which is copyleft so valve didn’t exactly have a choice in keeping it open source. I also don’t necessarily think that their goal was to reach the rather small existing user base of Linux users, but rather they wanted to make sure they aren’t at the will of a bigger company (Microsoft) whose product is/was required to run most of what valve makes money with.

I have switched from manjaro to endeavouros about a month ago. I definitely prefer endeavouros. However, the kernel install GUI in manjaro was nice, made it very easy to get an overview of the available kernels and which ones are still getting support.

And it does judder free 24 fps playback on a 60hz screen?

Edit: also, what model is it? The Galaxy Tab S5e?

I really want an android tablet with lineageos support for watching movies and browsing the web. But I have been spoiled by my OLED TV so I think LCD just won’t cut it. Also, I would ideally want a 120hz display so that movies can be played back without 3:2 pulldown. I don’t believe such a device exists ATM?

They don’t just confirm it, the apk you download from fdroid is compiled by them from the source code. And sure, they’re not reviewing all the source code for all apps they build, but it’s still one added layer of security.

No, the developers of the apps you are installing through obtainium.

Are you aware of the izzyondroid repo? That contains loads of github releases which for one reason or another haven’t made their way to fdroid yet. So far, I haven’t had to manually download any apks from github because everything has been available there.

Yeah fdroid is vastly preferred over this because you can be sure that the source code provided actually produces the executable.

The need for decentralised identities stems from the same problem you are describing in your second paragraph. A decentralised identity would imply that your content will also stay if the instance goes down. I don’t really know however if there is a feasible way to implement this. An easier solution to me seems to be to enable account backups that can be used to recreate your account on a different instance.

To be fair, you’re the one to blame for blindly trusting an AI.

There is nothing stopping you from subscribing to nebula right now. Since I haven’t gotten any ads on YouTube in many years and even use sponsorblock to skip those annoying video segments I started thinking about how I am basically leeching off of most content creators. Subscribing to nebula was a no-brainer. It’s about $4.16 per month on the yearly plan and lets me support all content creators I watch on there at once rather than subscribing to each and every one of them on patreon and I still don’t see any ads

Peertube is a thing. The problem with a platform like YouTube is that it’s so dependent on its creators, which peertube just doesn’t have. Although not FOSS, I am quite a fan of nebula since it is kind of a community owned project and many of the channels I was already subscribed to are on nebula too. I don’t mind paying a few bucks a month to access ad free content while also supporting the creators.
