The few times I've needed to man [app name] on a system without internet access or on an obscure utility, I've always been able to find what I need in the included docs

I hope the dev eventually gets sponsored, this is one of those utilities that you don't think you need until --help doesn't cut it

For anyone who doesn't have a device that natively supports this feature, there's an app on F-Droid called "Privacy Indicators" that provides this for camera and mic access. It uses the built-in Accessibility services to provide this, and needs a couple of other special permissions

You can change the color of the indicator, mine's red for more visibility.

I installed it from GitHub however, since the F-Droid build was really outdated: https://github.com/NitishGadangi/Privacy-Indicator-App

I love this 😂

I've seen the redesign too and not really sure how I feel about it 😂 there's a lot of additional whitespace and it kinds looks like a blown up mobile version of the site

Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave's core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don't even work.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're missing the majority of Aniwave's library too

Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don't even try to compete 🤦‍♂️

Pirate websites like this usually rely on the shadier ad networks baked into these kinds of video streaming sites to make their money.

There's no financial incentive to use BitTorrent based streaming, and if they did I feel the torrents would die rapidly just due to the amount of leechers with barely any seeders to offset the ratio disparity (Unless some kind of webseed was available ?)

.NET runs natively on Linux

Only .NET Core sadly

When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework

And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.

Can't think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area

Haven't watched the video - just my thoughts...

Minetest (specifically Mineclone2) is an impressive feat, and a very faithful reproduction of the original. I pretty much used the Minecraft fandom wiki to progress through the game. Hours of fun was had without handing money to M$.

I only really stopped because the redstone functionality wasn't fully implemented.

Hats off to the devs on that project regardless

AFAIK on Windows the physical disk containing the partition needs to be marked offline in Disk Management, and the disk or a partition given exclusively to VirtualBox running as administrator, otherwise access is limited to read-only

I would suggest checking some other sources as well, just in case this has changed over the years. If you do successfully pass the physical partition into VirtualBox read-write, you might need to set up a virtual disk with grub to boot into your physical Linux partition

Platforms like Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon etc make it so easy to support creators outside of YouTube, while also giving creators a larger share of income compared to Adsense.

There's YouTube Premium... but I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to give Google a single cent of my hard earned cash

Windows 7 being discontinued.

I migrated my HTPC to Linux several years ago, and since then just transitioned more and more of my machines over.

My desktop is the only machine left running Windows at this point due to there being no Freetrack implementation on Linux for sim games

 

TL has been returning 1004 errors all day, however their staff are aware of this looking at a discussion thread on a certain site.

Hopefully it gets fixed soon - posted here just in case others are having issues with the site and its mirrors
