Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Have we just become numb to ads?
Online I use multiple browser extensions and settings to avoid showing ads. In the offline world there is no way to avoid them but I think I pretty much can ignore them.
I also intentionally do not buy anything I remember seeing an ad for.
I’ll always prefer physical media over streaming for things I like.
It’s mainly Bluray nowadays, but also some older DVDs.
Or just yolo it, if you have some money to burn.
Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.
This made me vomit a little in my mouth.
I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.
How much say do you have on the technical site of the page? Maybe have a custom icon recognized by the templating engine, using a Unicode code point from the private use area. This could be implemented using an icon font.
The commonly used symbol to represent the Fediverse is this one.
“I’m not THAT old, but …”
I am sure fans will find a way to make it happen.
I am pretty sure they will.
It’s me because my reflexes are those of a sausage!
How planes generate lift.
Of archeologists don’t know it: “for religious reasons”.
No, sorry, I’m dumb.
Currently I’m angrily sticking with Firefox. But once Floorp switches to the current version of Firefox as base I’ll totally try this one. According to what I found, they will switch with the next major release.
If you’re into watching YouTube: You can add channels as RSS into your reader. The latest 15 videos are offered via the feeds. All you need is the channel ID of the channel whose feed you want to access.
The channel ID is not visible anywhere on the page, but if you look at the DOM in the web browser via the developer console, you will find a meta entry <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID"> in the <head>, where CHANNEL_ID is the required ID. There are also websites that can be found quickly and easily using the appropriate keywords, which read out and return the ID associated with the provided handle.
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID
If you have a lot of subscriptions, you can use Google Takeout at takeout.google.com and export the YouTube subscriptions as a CSV file. The CSV file contains the subscribed channels with their ID and title for you to parse into whatever format you need for your reader.
For Newsboat you can use this script on the Abos.csv from my Google Takeout archive:
while IFS="," read id url name; do
feedURL="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=%24%7Bid%7D"
[ ! -z "${id}" ] && echo "$feedURL youtube videos \"~${name}\""
done < <(tail -n +2 Abos.csv) >> urls
Edit: Seems like, Lemmy messes up the code formatting, but you get the gist …
Here in Germany we learn that in school in 3rd or 4th grade (ca 9-10 years of age).
Same here. I have no clue what the latest things to watch, read, or listen to are. And I don’t think I miss out on anything. I also get almost none of the references.
Not at all, no. The US government is and always was extremely nationalistic (not nationalist, not national socialist, those are different things) and by being that, there were and are groups that do whatever they need to do to achieve their goals (i.e. “not the goals of the opposite party”). Let it be assassination, bribery, or downright capitalism.
I would actually be extremely surprised if the republicans are not somehow involved in killing a democratic president. (I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the other way round, too.)
If you’re lucky they have an Atom or RSS feed somewehere. (Even if it just may be one from their back-end so they can show the articles on their news page). You could then put that in an RSS reader of your choice.
If you have some scripting experience you could check out Newsboat. You can use a script as source there, and that script then scrapes the their website and generates an Atom feed from raw HTML parsing.
8 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM … those are the specs of my almost 15 years old legacy machine. I doubt that the Steam Machine outperforms anything made in the last 5-10 years.
