Today I’m learning this and now I learn GNU is supposed to be pronounced “guh-NEW”

Sounds like something Microsoft would do!

Do you mean for sharing links on Lemmy/the Fediverse? There was discussion around this a while back and in the end the consensus was that it was most useful to just use the direct YouTube link as the primary, then optionally include a link to an alternative front-end. That way it was easier for people to use their own preferred front-end, and it avoided a problem we were sometimes running into where enough people would try watching a link at the same time that it would overwhelm the alternative.

Interesting website; I did not know New Hampshire has a secessionist movement.

Did you click the wrong discount? $79 is the price for 100.

I think I’ve bought from 7digital a time or two in the past and had no problems. Obviously there are issues with Amazon as a company, but I think they were the first big name to offer DRM-free MP3 purchases and I used it a lot back when it first launched, especially since they offered a selection of albums each month for just $5. They should have most mainstream music available for purchase, depending on which country you’re in. According to this Wikipedia page listing music stores they only offer 256 kbps MP3 but I was sure most if not all were upgraded to 320 kbps now, although of course you would have to re-download anything if you had downloaded the lower-quality version previously. That Wikipedia page is a good link to other stores as well, with a number I’d never heard of including specialty stores.

Also, along with someone else’s comment mentioning ripping CDs like the old days, check to see if you have a local record store. It’s been a mantra since at least the Gen-X days to “support your local scene.” I know in Raleigh the longtime staple Schoolkids Records is still alive and kicking, although their Chapel Hill store closed last year. It might take some digging but it can be worth seeing if there’s a local store in your area.

Not having done much with Signal, is there a way to create local backups?

Self-hosting there are some ways to fight back, or depending on your opinions on Cloudflare it seems they’re fairly effective at blocking the AI crawlers.

There’s actually a surprising amount of free static website hosting out there. Besides GitHub, GitLab, Cloudflare, and Netlify come to mind offhand.

Just stick a Mac mini in the case and call it a day!

I was about to hit send on this, then looked it up and realized you could actually stick one in the 5.25” bays, although it would take two of the standard “half height” bays—or at least some extra height in the case—because it would be too tall by less than half an inch. I would not be surprised if someone has already done this.

Phone projection for navigation has been significantly better than any built-in navigation on any car I’ve ever driven. The vehicle screens are typically larger than a phone screen so that’s a really nice feature to me.

I’ve known about Linux since the late ’90s; I haven’t been around any significant concentration of people talking about it and how to use it until I joined Lemmy.

I’ve only seen that kind of keyboard for iPhone; what model is this?

It’s from ClickHole, which is a site The Onion started parodying viral content sites like BuzzFeed or Bored Panda. It was sold to Cards Against Humanity in 2020.

Unironically I like that

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

It’s not FOSS (IIRC) but I think Resolve is fully available on Linux?

Yes, that is surprising; I’m fairly certain they were involved in developing Bonjour also

I was notified about 3 or 4 breaches just last year, some from companies I’d never even heard of but had my info.
