Hm. I use it for anything, looping stuff, streams, entire album play, playlists, even audio books before I found maBooks

My only current bug is that I used to have my music on an SD card, which failed & I removed, but VLC still thinks it’s right there and fills my library with it

VLC is the goat here, no?

As available in France, tho only for €60 less.
And you pay €30 for fedora (?)

Indeed but it’s rarely available to the general public. They don’t mind selling 2000 units to a business with dedicated IT support. They (used to) totally draw the line at providing individual support to individual customers.

In my experience (France), buy it while you can because it pops from time to time & disappears without warning.

Woah! Never seen this in France, ever. You can even get it os-free!

The difference in pricing is concerning tho.

Where?

“Kernel maintainer steps down” - and here I thought the dude fiercely opposed to Rust, that dinosaur vowing to fight with all his might against… a project he wouldn’t have a single line of code to maintain, ever, was the one to resign.

Instead we lost “Marcan”, Hector Martin, the lead of the Asahi Linux project, following an intervention in the drama-thread by none other than Torvalds himself, who rather than arbitrating or defusing the situation, added to it by scolding Martin with “you are the problem”.

Marcan also deleted his Mastodon account ; I am not quite sure what impact this will do on the Asahi Linux project, but fuck me sideways this all reads like unsupervised five years olds bickering in the schoolyard.

Same. Been using it for ages : nice background pic & just a calendar widget, the six shortcuts at the bottom - it’s so fast, simple, unobtrusive.

Nobody cares about you and your cheap AI-generated tentacle porn. The point here is at entreprise-level. Businesses will be legally locked down with expensive US vendors, it’s all that matters.

Infuriating thing above all that cretin protectionism is that pro use of AI stuff will consume a planet-destroying 10 30 times as much energy than needed.

What’s getting old is continuously asking for a Linux Drive client. I will keep on whining about it, probably until the end of my subscription.

So it is not sarcasm. As I, too, am getting old I just tend to repeat myself. A lot.

Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?

Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.

I’m using Asahi daily these days; it is dual-boot by nature so you can rock your Linux OS everyday but still have “a macbook” (and be working on a work machine paid by your company, as should be).

I’d be using it more if the keyboard wasn’t so shit. Battery is good, screen too, processing power… really just the keyboard is wrong, wrong and wrong. Oh, and I love the touchscreen on my other laptop.

Did you guess my other machine is a Thinkpad? Yes it is. With a touchscreen!

What would be a configuration to maximize battery life?

You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman’s agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it’s public chats.

I tried them on a topic I’m pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a ‘natural language’ query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn’t give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!

DDG has it’s non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren’t harvested for further ai training

In any case, it’s a completely different tab, it’s not mingled in general search results

Dropping The List here because answering in detail would take …a very, very long time.

Newpapers are available in public libraries

Mac. Why the eff can I not remove StockMarket, Weather, Chess (and so many more)… On an Audio WorkStation dedicated to Studio / Live work? Even in terminal, command line from rescue mode with permissions butchered. Argh.
