One blindspot is that the ear is not good at determining whether the sound comes directly in front or back of the head.

Couldn’t they just designate them as no-op codes?

I torrent a lot on Linux and use Qbittorrent. Surfshark has a great VPN on Linux.

If you want to get into it then Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and nzb360 ($10) with Jellyfin is a great stack to manage your library but needs a bit of work to set up. You can then use the phone to download and search and watch it with an android TV app.

I had some issues setting it up with a ublue fedora immutable distro which are pretty non-existent on most standard distros.

Fairphone comes pretty close.

Many of the problems with security and disk space are limited by flatpaks using same base layer for applications that is shared and easy to update.

Maybe but probably not. People that develop applications can save a major headache by choosing flatpaks so the ecosystem will gravitate towards it.

At some point new applications that didn’t launch a Linux version will do so but only on flatpak and older applications will start moving towards flatpaks since it’s less dev time.

It looks to me as inevitable that the best versions of an app will be a flatpak but if you’re on Ubuntu based system you can probably get by for very long without them.

Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
2. Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
3. Show QR code.
4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.

I haven’t tried Plex but Jellyfin is super easy. Type in IP, username and password and you’re done. Only need to setup port forwarding on the router to make it work.

I use many KDE activities all mapped to a single hotkey. Meta+H, Meta+J, Meta+K, then L, Y, U, G.

I set my browser and maybe one other as sticky to show on all. I also have specific desktop picture for all of them.

On top of that I have a startup command that opens all applications I use for work. Each application is configured to open in a certain activity.

The end result is that instead of doing Alt-Tab or looking for the window I do Meta+Key and it’s there in front of my eyes with focus.

UK, Nordics, Germany, Netherlands and a lot of other European countries have state run media. In many cases it’s the least biased media. People in the UK would use “ministry of truth” about the BBC unironically

I think porn would have to be on premises at a library with ID confirmation only if it’s published in the country in question. It should be restricted access.

My idea is that creators and publishers will actually gain more money per view than Nebula for example. They can still of course market their patreon on it.

Honestly it was a toilet thought, I didn’t flesh it out completely for every case.

The national government pays for storage and bandwidth and so on, financed by pay-per-view. Harmful and illegal material will most likely not make the cut but most old movies, old cartoon shows, old talk shows and interviews and so on will be available to the public.

This is both for entertainment and research, optionally they can make a library card add-on to have it as a subscription.

Current services are all in their own corner and often don’t have old content such as dubbed cartoons from people’s childhood.

Piracy is also limited, finding rugrats in a Scandinavian language is pretty much impossible.

If you’re willing to sacrifice the clock speed it’s possible. One of the issues will be that the insane amount of logic gates would have to propagate through every cycle which happens stupid fast on modern chips. Still possible to model it and do a timelapse.

Studied computer science. The answer is yes.

A computer is a funky thingy that’s a jumbled city of stuff turning on and off with the one master on/off thingy which is the clock on the processor.

When it switches from negative to positive a lot of small switches everywhere switch, some stay the same, some flip. It’s all just a bunch of rythm dancing of switches going off and on.

I use vim mode everywhere I can and vim in the console, it took a bit of effort to learn but it was fun and satisfying. Highly recommend, I’m a vim user now for 7 years.

You can change your hate to love by using vim

If you haven’t tried it the repl python is pretty in a pretty good calculator. Use “_” to use the output value.

It comes true every time

Strap in guys, the year is coming. Year of the Linux desktop baby!

Rest of time savings can be achieved by practicing 30 minutes per day
