Oh I’m sure its not gonna do financial damage but setting precedent that they can’t sue everyone and win is a overall win in my book.

I look forward to the possibility of them wasting money and losing this case.

I was recently looking for something like this and couldn’t find what i was looking for, so thanks!

Very true, i had a vet that barely looked at my cat and after getting a second opinion and looking things up online, i realized that he sucked.

His vet closed a year after. Def not a bad idea to hear others experiences

Well it sounds delicious, and definitely not guilty of piracy

I am not familiar with that, I’m guessing potato supreme is a username or something?

Not everyday i agree with ISPs but here we are. Guilty of and accused of are two very different things. Innocent until proven guilty.

Ah ok so from what im hearing, because the kernal on the deck hasn’t been updated with a codec that you prefer for these headphones, they sound worse. That sucks man. I would hope it wouldn’t be the same case for other distros but if your headphones are newer that can make it more difficult to have compatibility. Takes a while for Linux to catch up on most stable distributions is my understanding.

And I use Reaper! Love Reaper a ton, clean and easy to use daw for $60 bucks (small business/personal use) I’m currently on Fedora 40.

I’m a musician who is just getting started producing on Linux. I haven’t had issues with audio aside from my audio interface not being compatible due to have software control for hardware which i hated anyways. Using a focuarite interface now and its been good. Pulseaudio has been pretty solid for a while now which is what the steamdeck uses from what i can see online.

Both my mic and headphones have worked great with all distros I’ve tried. That said, sometimes stuff just doesn’t wanna play well with Linux, even if it seems like it should and im typically not using bluetooth devices on Linux for audio so im not as familiar with issues they may have.

You might try another set of headphones to see if its an issue with the headohones themselves. And or, try them with a different distro/pc because it may be a issue with the deck itself.

I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.

I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.

Shocked I tell you. I am shocked.

I have used discover and other similar apps like the Pop shop but man are they just not quite there yet imo.

I installed Pop!OS on my media pc recently and that gave me more problems than discover on my main pc running Fedora.

Both were good for finding apps but installing was kind of a pain. Usually it would crash, or not install at all, sometimes canceling would hang forever, etc.

Though this could be due to my internet being shit where i live atm so ymmv.

It has gotten easier the more I’ve used it amd I’m very stubborn so I’ll be here a while lol.

Unfortunately the only person i know that also uses Linux uses Gentoo so he’ll have to compile my question for a few days before he can answer it.

I enjoyed this video, im already subbed to him but i loved his take on Linux cause im kinda in the same boat. I wanna be here, but man I do wish it was a little easier sometimes.

Preach my brother.

I’m almost 30 and i 100% agree. Friends and family thought i was gay because i guess dont fit the normal “male” shit that everyone seems to assume you need to be male.

I like art and music amd cute things like cat bowls with cat ears.

But i also like to build things like my desk and work outside with my hands and fix things like when my girlfriends parents had thier washing machine break. Loved fixing that.

Early on into our relationship, my girlfriend saw me cry and didn’t say shit about me not being a man or being weak or whatever garbage people code to “men”. She was just there for me. Sat and listened.

So to answer OP, i agree with Scrubbles, find someone you wanna spend time with. The woman you describe absolutely exists but theres also a chance that you find someone completely different and that’s ok.

What are you doing step-LAN?

Great question that I dont have an answer for. Maybe one of the foundations that supports Linux development? This is just my hope though. No idea what it would really take to maintain Firefox at this point. Maybe if it was scaled down or something it’d be ok in the hands of just the open source community as a whole but I’m not well versed in programming or development so i dont know.

I gotta try and be optimistic about this kinda stuff because i forsee a future where Google just ruins more and more of the internet and i hate the thought of that.

While I do want competition in the web space, its a good thing that Google could get told to stop doing stuff like this.

I dont want Mozilla to die of course but companies need to be held responsible for all the shit they pull. I’d imagine if Mozilla wasnt able to maintain firefox anymore it would fall to the open source community like they said in the article and I’d probably still use it.

No one company should own the internet.

I think you’re definitely in the majority on lemmy with this take but i agree.

I have a “smart tv” that has never even seen WiFi because i prefer having control over my hardware. My media pc is all i need. I even got a little remote for an air mouse and keyboard combo that works just fine for me.

I often feel like im in this weird in between with tech. Like im pretty good technology and a power user but at the same time, theres tons of small things I forget or overlook and i end up feeling like an idiot lol.

This was a great read to help me feel like im not alone in that. I think anyone whos ever built a pc can relate to “Oh yea it helps if you turn on the power supply” or “damnit, i plugged the monitor into the motherboard ports instead of the GPU”

I think it’s important to remeber that you’re only human. Bound to overlook something. I sure dont remember that as often as i should.
