I find it helps immensely to not be on social media to begin with.

While I fully agree, it probably depends heavily on so you ask.

The arch package has to be built somehow. You could look at that packages source and/or content to figure out how to manually do it on your system, or wait/hope the deb is being maintained and gets fixed.

It’s likely mostly some plumbing, like a systemd service with it’s configuration, to get the audio routed properly.

Just to clarify since it barely came up: NFC can be used for a lot of things, digital payment just being one use case. You can also have “tags” that trigger some sort of automation when the phone is placed there (like on the phone holder in your car, on your desk, on your night stand). You can use it as a key to open doors or locks (bikes). You can transfer your contact information to someone by touching phones together. And so much more.

It’s a universal way to communicate (very) short distances, with the unique property that the reading device can provide power to the item being read if needed. Not a lot of power, but no batteries needed at all for the passive side in many cases.

Doable, not practical. Another major concern is the induced dizziness and general discomfort from such a small circumference. If you stand up straight, your head moves significantly slower than your feet. There are more effects that humans don’t do well with.

In addition keep in mind that this implies significant mechanical complexity the moment you don’t rotate the whole craft, but only a section or ring. If you do rotate all of it, simple tasks like taking a photo become… cumbersome.

Also like others have said, it’s not a permanent residence for anyone, and the main goal of the ISS is the study of low- or micro-gravity.

Somewhere between zero and 16. There is no “usually” for me.

I’ve had just the default KDE wallpaper for make months now. I think I’ll have to switch to some of the Artemis shots tho. Might be cliche, but sorry kinda inevitable.

Re-read the comment you originally replied to. Music selection is too small for me.

I do, but the company is based in Paris as far as I know, so it’s European. At least most employees are (probably?) around there, as are the paid taxes (assuming they pay any).

Given my experiences, I don’t think I have any other option that wouldn’t be just a way worse experience for me. There’s a reason in dropping Spotify after all.

I also gave it a try, but had to cancel my plans to switch due to limited music selection and playlists lacking folders.

I am currently trialing Deezer, so I guess that still counts. Also can’t do folders for playlists, but basically all my music transferred over.

There’s also a dedicated recipe in “bottles”, which I think is based on it at least in part. As I’m trying to move away from fusion, I haven’t tried it yet though. Apparently it can work, but can also randomly break with updates…

There’s also In shape, which has it’s down sides (some go away with money), but also runs anywhere bring browser based. One of the more obvious down sides is that it’s by definition cloud based.

There has been a lot of advances even with Nvidia in recent years. Assuming the GPU in the laptop is semi-modern (not sure if it’s 10xx or 20xx and newer, but one of those), you should be able to just install any modern distro and it should just work. This is especially true for gaming focused distros (like CachyOS), which doesn’t have to be used for gaming btw. They will auto-detect just fine in the installer and there is zero effort or tinkering required.

There are KVM switches that allow something closer to that at least, but usually only for 2 hosts (pcs). It stands for “keyboard, video, mouse” and they originated in the server space, but recently became common in the home/office as well.

They main purpose is to switch use of the monitors and any attached input devices between PCs. But there are models that allow mixed/shared use as well. If you’re looking for one that supports 3 monitors and 3 hosts, with some splitting options, that might be harder to find or cost as rather pretty premium (hundreds).

That’s what happens when one or more core components 5x in price (ram, but others aren’t far behind).

Yes, and all the download sites and tools don’t use anything else either. They all just wrap yt-dlp.

If it stopped working for you, you might have to read the docs on the specific error you’re getting to see how to get around it. YouTube does try to make it harder, but it’s technologically difficult to fully block. There are workarounds for basically every case as far as I’m aware.

Just using yt-dlp also works, but locally.

Lutris is like heroic or steam: it’s essentially the downloader and launcher for games that are then run by proton.

You can’t have it both ways. It’s hard enough to get people to switch to signal, or least also use it next to other messengers. Now imagine they’d have to connect to multiple servers to talk to multiple people. Possibly everyone connection details. Even if that’s done in the background, you have to somehow get the connection registered once, discovered if you will.

Anything and everything you send through their server is end-to-end encrypted. Some people hate on the phone number being required to create an account, but it’s also the reason it works at all: anyone in your contacts who also has signal you can talk to. Phone numbers are an international standard. If course this also has downsides…

Finally what you’re asking for exists. NextCloud has “talk”. Which is essentially a messenger app, it’s built in. Go use it. I have a NextCloud instance and I don’t use it either. What’s the point of having an app I can only use to talk with people so close to me that they’re in my NextCloud with an account already?

If you’re using a keepass database, Keepass2Android can natively sync with many cloud options including self hosted and generic ones, even without specific “companion” apps. That’s what I use. In my case, it’s backed by my NextCloud, but it used to be Google drive before.

Just also sync the file on your PC, merging changes from different clients is part of the keepass database format and “just works”.

Also VaultWarden works great if your can self host it, but I prefer keepass for a variety of features and integrations.
