Pronouns: he/him
I doubt you can really buy those TVs anymore without it being a “Smart” TV. The best you can do is disable the Internet Connection on your TV. I have heard couple people suggesting commercial TV but I’m not too sure how great they would be for gaming and more made for well… staying on most the time, inside at a shop.
Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.
I can only understand the concern if it related to how many the chat room and users are mostly created in offical Matrix instance instead more be self-hosted and even that is a reach
though I occasionally play Fortnite with my son
Just an FYI, Fortnite isn’t supported on Linux so if you still want to dabble with Linux, maybe give a try dual-booting.
Yes but I do recommend installing the two OSes on a different storage device. That’s what I did for my PC.
As a Linux Noob, Linux was lot easier than I expect it to be. Think it was me having the “This isn’t Windows so I might as well as research about anything Linux related” mindset which it paid off for me. It got to point where Windows is now my secondary OS (Mainly to use it to use Tomb Editor to make custom Tomb Raider levels which is annoying to get it running with Wine which I don’t know how to troubleshoot at all.)
It’s ironic how it’s now my main OS and if you told me several years ago that I would be mostly using Linux, I would think you’re talking total nonsense.
I remember someone on Discord server I used to be on kept telling people to “use Linux” which back then, I thought it was some scary OS for people who’s tech savvy and wrote him off to be annoying. It was few years when I have my own laptop as early birthday present that I find Windows 10 annoying and remembered Linux exist so I run up a virtual machine and watch so many videos on YouTube about it. Then, I made USB-Boot and installed Linux Mint.
Far from perfect but I feel so much more comfortable using Linux over Windows, feels so much more smoother
I have heard it does but it was generally just an example of “Try this software but note it may not have this feature if this means lot to you” and suggest others like maybe Krita then?
I’m currently using GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone I brought secondhand so think I should (for now) be okay?
Otherwise, Linux phone looks interesting but it just relearning both another OS (like iPhone users trying to learn Android and vice versa) and also just I have low income so buying new tech is just expensive.
I don’t want to throw myself a deepend to an OS that I not as familiar with beside on my desktop and Raspberry Pi. Personally, I prefer to know what’s there before I just go blind so at least I can manage my expectation than expected it to do 1:1 stuff that I do on my phone right now.
Hope this means we eventually get The Sims modding scene to the Fediverse as dispute them loving Tumblr, I always find it clunky to try find CCs
Fed up of Microsoft’s BS and it’s inconsistent UI/UX design. Made my very first PC build around last Christmas and have dual-boot of both Linux Mint and Windows 11 and I been mostly fine with Linux.
The only footage of Miley checking if anyone talk about Hannah Montana Linux /j
PeerTube is the ‘YouTube alternative’ I can somewhat get around but the issue I have it has few content creators I would watch. Otherwise, just seems more of a concept than an actual replacement for now.
I hate Odysee, it has many far-right content creator which I remember seeing much of pro-nazi video on there. It’s beyond me people keep suggesting that god awful platform for people that hate YouTube for allowing far-right wingers on YouTube and doing barely anything about it.
Yes, yes it is.
Reminded me when some American food critic on TikTok stay in hotel in the UK and didn’t like the English breakfast which lot British people pissed off and one was suggesting eating a Indian place. The irony of it… 🙃
Totally get you. It’s why I roll my eyes anytime someone say “Be the change you want to see” as if I wasn’t trying to and also getting a burntout from doing so. Easier said than done.
Sadly, people are simply just so comfortable with whatever massaging & social media app they used that trying out other alternatives is immediately dismissed as a inconvenient before they even tried it. And also we are so used to corporation taking so many of our data that some are just numbed about it and see it as a losing battle or they don’t know how much valuable their information is which you often get the infamous “I got nothing to hide” BS.
I have got few my friends to use Signal when I was about to delete my Instagram. Still in contact with them which is a small victory for me.
I hadn’t tried it but maybe give this Desktop Environment a try? It’s called Enlightenment.
Isn’t React OS unstable? Last time (and this was like maybe couple years), I remember watching a YouTuber trying to run older Windows applications and game and get the Blue Screen of Death
Yeah and majority of them aren’t as popular. Think Fedi.Directory has selection of various PeerTube channels which the popular ones like The Linux Experience, Veronica Explains more used PeerTube as a mirror for people who don’t want to use YouTube and then there’s some FOSS Project (think KDE?) that use it just to show off features related to their project.
Beside Tilvids’ instance, there’s barely much video on PeerTube I feel like I want to actually watch
They made “datapack” which is a way of playing with mods without having to use third-party mod loaders like Forge and Fabric but (don’t quote me on this as I’m not a mod developer) it’s not as powerful compare to the mod loaders.
