verdigris@lemmy.mlto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•I got hit. The UK is no longer safe from this.7·1 month agoDownloading a video is functionally identical to watching the video. I’m not 100% sure they can’t tell, but they certainly shouldn’t care… You’re not circumventing anything by downloading a streamed video, they just obfuscate the download functionality.
verdigris@lemmy.mlto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•I got hit. The UK is no longer safe from this.13·1 month agoYou just close the window. I’ve seen this twice in the last three years and never experienced any actual change – still no ads or even black screens where ads should be.
Right but look at the image, there’s a clear difference between the boxers and what looks like normal or jeans shorts. The long pants have similar styling.
Why are like half of these wearing full on pants? OP, do you actually sleep in like jeans shorts?

verdigris@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's a good, beginner-friendly distro that allows for easy switching between GNOME and KDE?30·2 months agoWhile pretty much any distro can do this, I will warn you that it’s not the greatest idea. GNOME and KDE are both massive software suites and you’ll have a lot of redundant programs, e.g. two GUI file managers, and sometimes you’ll get unexpected behavior. There are also some look and feel issues that might crop up with apps getting style hints from two places. Again, it’s nothing super major, and it’s been a while since I’ve done this so maybe it’s improved, but any time I’ve tried I end up rolling back or reinstalling with only one big DE.
It’s much less of an issue to have one big DE and then potentially several other more modular window managers, as those have much less opinionated payloads. I’ve got sway and hypr installed alongside GNOME.

verdigris@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which areas of Linux would benefit most from further standardization?8·3 months agoHave you tried recently? We’ve been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn’t run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.
verdigris@lemmy.mlto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Looking for a low-profile ISO mechanical keyboard1·3 months agoI’ve got the Ergodox, so my recommendation is entirely off the strength of that product. If I were buying from them today, I’d probably get the Moonlander, but that’s because I use my keyboard with my home desktop 99%+ of the time. If you plan to travel, commute, or otherwise use your keyboard in multiple places, I think the low profile keys will be perfect for that.
As for add-ons, there isn’t really anything to add for the Voyager. If you’re considering the Moonlander, I would be tempted by The Platform. It’s a full third of the already hefty price of the keyboard, but it looks like the dream tilt solution. The legs on the Ergodox, which look to be the same legs as on the Voyager, are serviceable, but the interface that keeps them in place can wear out needing replacement, and they can only tilt so much (the Voyager has less I believe, so you can still tilt it but at less esoteric angles). The platform will let you get nearly vertical with each hand if you want, which is kind of the ergonomic dream. Although, tbf, after using my Ergodox for a couple years, I rarely tilt it at all and just use it flat on the desk along with the included wrist/palm supports
Yeah fair, most of the more granular systems go that way. I know Pathfinder fights can take a minute as well.
Combat can be fun, but DnD in particular reeaaally drags sometimes. An excellent DM helps, but even Dimension 20 takes a full session for a big combat encounter, which is usually just exhausting IMO. I much prefer systems like PBTA that keep combat pretty breezy and improv-friendly.
verdigris@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Organic Maps successfully migrates to Forgejo after GitHub blocks them2·3 months agoI think we all know this, but it’s the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

Deluge is another good client – I’m not sure why but its defaults gave me much better download speeds than transmission or qbittorrent
I’m interested in music discovery communities as well. I think if you’re posting once a month you don’t need to limit yourself to Japanese music communities, unless you want to.
