Definitely not the only ones - while almost every Android can be flashed with a different ROM, very few can be relocked, which is ‘needed’ (workarounds possible) because some banking apps need it in order to run - but definitely some of the best third party ROMs are specifically for Pixel. Ironic, the best phone to deGoogle is a Google phone, thanks to GrapheneOS or CalyxOS devs.

If not using a Google phone, the best ROM may well still be LineageOS.

Not as long as arbitrary monetary values are given to personal items in a civilization dominated by capitalism, wealth inequality, and vultures looking to cheat the system that failed them.

The card is not worth $8,000. Its worth is purely sentimental, after it was originally purchased for what, $0.50? As long as obsession over money exists, people will manufacture products at low monetary cost, sellers manipulate and scam buyers with talk of rarity, people will pretend things are financially extremely valuable, and other people will seek to acquire it.

True but the purpose of sex/mating isn’t solely to be gratifying to a viewer, it’s a natural part of life

Humans fucking is life, and isn’t worthy of censorship. Life happens.

I use Bitwarden, which I’m fairly sure is the same product. Perhaps the issue lies with the app you’re using to login rather than the manager? For example, Bitwarden works well on at least Chrome and Brave, but rarely on Ecosia.

Great news! I tested with a VM and no GPU except iGPU, apparently my issue may have been no Vulkan support. I’ll need a new machine to fully explore it

I’ve reviewed the community rules of PoliticalHumor and, unless suicide counts as violence because it is self-harm, no rule was broken. As it stands the multiple mentions of violence in the rules are ambiguous.

I test-ran EndeavourOS for a future PC and like it. I am a Steam gamer though, so my work’s cut out for me in getting it to work on whatever hardware I choose.

I don’t think many people on the Arch forums have that outlook on EndeavourOS. It is Arch with benefits

And darker skinned

They’re conglomerate assholes. They have been damaging the environment, society and consumer base for decades now. Best to cut as many ties to corps as possible.

OP’s photo of a hat was taken from Boof Barn. It seems to be in stock!

No, I found conduwuit to be my favourite server by far 😭

This poor person. It’s because of her and her values on the websites and docs that I chose conduwuit for my Matrix server, as well as the reason I found and joined the blahaj Lemmy instance…

An old meme once said:

The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.

I did, but completely forgot! I haven’t used a local library in years >.<

You right. I was talking to my partner the other day about the injustice of record labels taking the artists’ achievements as their own, putting the artists’ triple platinum record on their walls as if they did more than advertise. Authors too - some authors sign predatory contracts with publishers that completely castrate their earnings but the publisher gets rich. Creators of media, for the most part, get completely wrung dry unless they manage themselves. I’d say movies are one of the only sectors of the industry that don’t leech the artists as far as I know

That’s pretty much what I just recommended aha, 12th gen or higher, or a GPU. Doesn’t have to be a large one either - my GTX 970 could handle Emby transcoding as well as blaze through speech recognition for a local voice assistant

IIRC the free version of Emby doesn’t throttle in any way, you can still have up to 10 concurrent active devices and the only thing you miss out on really is OpenSubtitles. But I’ve recently upped my game with Sonarr and it’s a dream. One day I’ll put my movies into Radarr.

You need any kind of mobo/CPU combo, I’ve heard 12th Gen Intel onwards are as capable of transcoding on the fly as an older GPU so you wouldn’t need both, but if you go older I recommend a GPU as well, just because it gives more flexibility with being able to use hardcoded subtitles without locking up the CPU, and streaming a lower bitrate version of the video if your internet is shit, instead of - again - locking up

For easy certificate management I use NginX Proxy Manager, for media I use Emby and for a domain I use Cloudflare but you can absolutely serve your server with DuckDNS or another DDNS service for free.

I paid about £200 to build my server, with a £30 CPU (Intel i6 3100), free motherboard, £50 PSU and £110 SFF case (rough costs), and holy fuck it’s so much cheaper than any subscription. Electricity is about £3-£5 a year and other costs are optional. I also sourced a GTX 970 for £90 that was more than up to the task of transcoding, but again, if you get a 12th gen you won’t need it.

I just remembered the HDD I started with was a spare (10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro, but I shucked (like shucking for pearls) an external HDD to get it, as I heard that you can get lucky and get a good drive for cheaper than it would cost to buy it. Said eHDD was about £250.
