That is the example they gave in the article...

You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone

I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.

Not sure why you were down voted, thanks for the recommendations!

I need an android rss reader that ACTUALLY caches the articles. I use feeder and most of the time it just fetches the titles, I've been through every setting. "fetch full articles by default" is on for all of my feeds.

Would love to know how true this is as I wouldn't put it past manufacturers

The heat on the underground is mad, makes it so hard to dress for the weather. Go out in a coat because it's cold then get down on the central line and everyone is sweating hard

Everyone wanted to compete with Apple

This is literally the first time I've heard it being mentioned since the exodus

That's pretty shocking tbh

I've said this before, the thing I hate about reddit and discord is that you only get exposed to "current" threads or "top" threads. On old forums everything was just there and if someone commented on it, it came back to the top and re-ignited conversations.

I was a big user of the command and conquer forums and I definitely miss the community of it. But that may just be the scale of Internet then compared to now. Back then you saw the same users every day and we ended up chatting on msn and working on projects together. I couldn't tell you any users on my instance or elsewhere other than the admins of my instance.

 

When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.

Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.

I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.

I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

 

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.
