@ente Wanted to migrate my wife too, she used AndOTP. Couldn't import directly so made a script that converts their JSON to the Ente plaintext, might be useful to others: https://codeberg.org/zerodogg/andotp2plaintext
@jacqueline Yeah BTRFS is pretty awesome, I've been using it as my default on everything for a couple of years now, I have snapshots taken at every update and rolling back is always just a reboot away if anything goes wrong.
So there's some psycho going around my neighborhood and letting off shots at like 3:30 in the morning over the last few weeks and i have no idea how to address this since the cops aren't going to do shit lol
The bribed Supreme Court is ruling on whether or not, for example, Joe Biden, is allowed to order the military to take, for instance, the Supreme Court, and to have them, for example, murdered.
You’d think this would be an easy one but actually it looks like it’s gonna be kind of close.
@JuliusGoat Should be any easy decision for grandpa Joe to order the execution of (most of) the justices then, any justice that says its allowed is pretty clearly committing treason on behalf of trump and should be executed without a trial..
I would assume this immunity extends to anyone ordered to commit such a task as well, hopefully there arent any impressionable mentally ill people who might think they're being told by a dog to eliminate political figures.
If you care about an open Internet, contact the creators you enjoy watching and encourage them to move to decentralized platforms like PeerTube. I can promise you, it only gets worse from here with #YouTube
@tilvids Not sure what "third-party" apps they're talking about because they mention API use and the only 3rd party apps I use don't make use of youtube's API... Piped: Unaffected, YTDLP: Unaffected, NewPipe: Unaffected, SmartTube: unaffected.
The only app i've noticed any recent change on was revanced, which is not a third party app, its a mod of their official first party app and the fix was just to patch a newer youtube version.
Was helping a friend with some computer thing today and noticed Brave now has a nice big ad for turbo tax slapped on its start page along with that controversial VPN move they made a whiles back...Advised them its probably time to start moving to @Vivaldi who's business model doesnt require shoving ads in your face or sneaky VPN services into your OS.
Brave was such a cool idea I used to think, but as with pretty much every half decent idea that makes use of "crypto" it went to shit real fast.
Personally I love looking at vivaldi's start page, because as I think you already knew before posting, its completely customizable.
The ad i saw on brave was literally part of the background and not something like a tile you could remove.
My larger point is that brave has been going down hill with their attempts to make money, first it's a VPN, then ads from tubo tax, now they're shoving an AI into it. Vivaldi on the other hand has been constantly improving.
But hey use whatever browser works for you, I just like how customizable Vivaldi is out of the box, if i wanted to have the same kind of setup with firefox or anything else i'd need a bunch of extra extensions and custom user configs, which is what i used to do till i found out about vivaldi.
Instead of keeping tabs open or needing an extra plugin/service Vivaldi has a "reading list" option I can use that saves links for me to read later without any third party service like pocket.
There is a completely customizable sidebar, a few of the defaults its has are quick notes and translations, but you can also add any web page.
And overall its just had a general trend of actually quality new features, even ones i don't use i still think are neat.
What happened to #screensavers ? I mean yeah in some cases on PC you can still set them up if you really want to, but for the most part we all just collectively moved on, why?
We went from like Flying Toasters and Mazes and all the crazy stuff in XScreensavers to just a "lockscreen" that maybe if you're lucky you can customize the source of your screens static image background and if you want an inspirational quote, so basically like we used to do with our desktop's backgrround since the 90s.
I used to think i couldnt wait for the day I could have actual "animated" desktop as my wallpaper, and to some extent now thats totally possible but I kinda never see my actual desktop anymore (Its currently a giant flipstyle clock).
But like in the 90s and 00's you'd have annual releases of new screensavers, some people would even pay like $20-30 for them... and I know most of that going away is good, but my point is the general enthusiasm from the end user was there before.

So there was this running gag among the Star Trek TNG production designers about there being a location on the ship named "Cetacean Ops", showing up in signage that wasn't legible pre-HD and background chatter that wasn't meant to be heard. Lower Decks then formalized this as an actual seawater tank in the middle of the ship with 2 intelligent Beluga whales "working" there. And this is fanservice and it's not TOTALLY clear Lower Decks is canon, but thing is, after Star Trek IV, it makes sense,
