Dank Pods! The content has only gotten better over the years, plus their expansion into car stuff and gaming. Started from iPods, now a bunch of different type of content. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Got a new controller I have been wanting for a while at the price of my old one, except this new one has way more features than the previous one.

Despite having tinnitus, I can still hear very subtle sounds and identify them.

  • For example, a long, deep hum means a garage door is opening/closing.
  • I can also hear (and feel) footsteps and movement from people around a building, even very subtle movement.
  • I can also pick up on all the little creaks a building makes.

However, despite being able to hear subtle sounds, I cannot hear "no" sound or silence due to the ringing. :/

Thank you, I didn't know you could do this!

On Mobile: Obtainium due to GitHub's rate limiting after 2 refreshes (I have a lot of apps on it) and having to wait 30 minutes before I can update anything.

On Desktop: I don't really have anything bad for desktop, so I guess FreeTube since I can stop watching videos instead of doing work.

I don't identify myself with any side in politics. Why pick a side when every side is shit.

For me, I mainly just focus on enjoying the limited time I have without really caring what happens in the world. World going to shit? Oh well, I still have my hobbies I can do instead of worrying about that.

Don't really have a number for your scale as I don't even know if you could call this nihilism.

 

I have LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 on my phone. I have also rooted my phone using Magisk.

I want to update my LineageOS version (newer build of 22.2, not to 23), and I want to confirm that the process I plan to take would be correct.

  1. I know to uninstall Magisk, then install the update without rebooting, then install Magisk to the inactive slot.
  2. Since I'm not using MindTheGapps, I'm pretty sure I don't need to reboot into recovery to sideload anything. Therefore, I can just reboot as normal.

For LineageOS for MicroG, is this all I need to do or am I missing something?

 

With the recent false banning of tech channels, such as Enderman, I really want to find alternative platforms to watch tech content. I know a few YouTubers who have channels on Odysee, PeerTube, etc. However, I would rather watch them in a desktop app as opposed to a web browser.

Is there any desktop QT applications for Linux (ideally Arch BTW) that allow me to watch videos from a decentralized video platform, such as PeerTube? Ideally, it would use QT as I'm using KDE Plasma, but if they're aren't many, then GTK is fine too.

As a bonus: Something similar to FreeTube, which is what I use for YouTube. If it's something similar, it doesn't have to be QT as I know FreeTube isn't.

 

I recently de-googled my phone by installed Lineage for MicroG. I want to find a good FOSS firewall app to use. I don't want a firewall app that just uses a VPN as its method of running.

On a test device, I've been using AFWall+, however that hasn't been updated in 2 years (At least on F-Droid). It works great, but I'm not sure if there is something more up-to-date.
