I’ll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I’ve used it for many years now.

Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

As a poor European:

Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That’s $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

I vaguely remember (but can’t find it right now) that the PDF format became open source at some point and free alternatives came out for PDF editing. And that was already back in the 2000s when people still printed documents (which is what PDF was originally meant for).

In modern times, every browser/OS can read PDF, every text editor can export to PDF, nobody prints physical documents and there are free alternatives – so why do they still exist and who is paying?

Wow, I had no idea Acrobat Reader still exists. They charge €15,72 per month now apparently.

Tbf I ran it on my old phone with Android 8.1. I’m sure many people have old, still working phones they want to use for stuff

I got curious and yes, GL Tron works

Yes, couldnt_find_post error

I’m not really familiar with Gnome

Maybe consider using a launcher for that, like albertlauncher (Linux) or ueli (Windows).

It’s pretty good and you can create custom commands relatively easy. I wanted to use it for my smart plugs, which works by linking it to Openhab, but some hardware is not supported so I don’t actively use it. It only sucks that it loses its connection often so you have to log in to the website and link it again.

I wouldn’t donate to a nonprofit that pays 5 mil a year to their CEO, it sounds to me they have the money but waste it on the wrong things.

Yeah it sucks Mozilla keeps removing functionality. But I switched to Nightly and it’s using much less disk space

I believe you can set browser.download.useDownloadDir in about:config

You can also get YouTube channels on RSS

About 10% of those have an adblocker if I read correctly? I find that hard to believe. Maybe people who leave telemetry enabled are just different.

Their higher-ups all earn exorbitant salaries

I got a working Playstation off the street, also some chairs, cupboards, a mirror and other stuff.

Apparently they need to ask for consent before detecting whether you have an adblocker, according to EU law. I assume you’d be safe when you use a plugin like Consentomatic or I don’t care about cookies and you just don’t log in to Google.
