The difference between workable and non-workable usually boils down to whether I can understand each step and how they arrived at their solution(that is, can I fix my own fuck-up if I miss a step or impliment it wrong for my own situation), which I will know pretty quickly. That said, with my limitted knowlege, I can still spot the 50% that have no chance in hell of working pretty quickly.

OTOH, if a solution is succinct, upvoted, and still looks wrong, I’m at least going to look into the problem further with that as a reference point before I write it off completely.

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.

Moreso than idiot though. It’s almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you’re looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by “cuss-words”.

They said “pretty sure”, not certain. Statistically, they were right, until routers started shipping with “secured” wifi settings by default. Nowadays, its the reverse.

Definitely not on Android. Almost certainly not, in general. Sorry

Talking 10ish years ago. Today you can get KDE apps running on Windows as Native stand-alones, but at the time, you first had to install KDE4Win.

digiKam was the first Linux application I encountered that was so polished and useful for what it does that I tried to shoe-horn it into any and every DE I experimented with, as well as installing it onto my windows machines under KDE4Win.

This is literally any site, including forums, lemmy instances, and more; ANY and all of those that allows the uploading/downloading of GIFs, PNGs, or videos up to a certain filesize.

The common 5, 10 or even 25 megabyte limits were one of the reasons these snippets became popular in the first place. Generally, you can e-mail such things as well.

That is to say, the federated version has been here all along. Certainly before tenor, giphy, or Vine became things, for some reason.

I think its less a question of the technical feasibility, and more of an issue that we, as users, don’t want more closed-source blobs in our kernels. Meanwhile, the publishers insist that they can’t open-source their anti-cheat code; Their idea being that if we know what’s in it, it will be easier to bypass.

Basically, one distro or a few(at most) may get anti-cheat integrated one day(like, say, SteamOS), but it will likely never be in your standard Linux kernal.

They could go the rought of kernel modules, I would think, but for whatever reason, we’re still having this conversation.

Weird how my first thought was DOUBT, then I looked at the pic with the question on my mind…

VPN to Europe? Otherwise not sure how the UK was ever “safe” from this.

Apparently I’ve been “Subscribe Pending” on that one since joining Lemmy…

I literally clutter my space in the vain hope that random mis-positioned object x will remind me to do task y. Blank wall isn’t going to remind me to do shit.

For the prequels, you want the Anti-cheese Fan-edits.

You added a “y” at the begging of the url which screws-up the link, but thanks. My own search had only turned up stale forum garbage. Figured I was out-of-date.

I’ve watched/have the Anti-cheese Edits of the Prequels I-III, and the De-Specialized Edits of Episodes IV-VI, and truly enjoyed both.

I don’t recall seeing 4k versions of either of these available yet, nor am I aware of suitable source re-leases that could be used to make such. Best of luck to you.

Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people’s health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.

Technically, I would prefer subtitles in all-caps as well. Easier to read and less visually distracting.

I mean, my last sentence was pure sarcasm, but I’m sure I would.
