AHHHH!

I cannot read the phrase “them bones” without that song playing in my head haha

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the post. Mindustry is awesome, I got so addicted to it for a bit haha

Personally I don’t think I’d use it on my main phone as of now. While it does work well and the granular options for sandboxing/security are awesome, I’d worry about compatibility with banking apps and other more locked down software that, from what I’ve heard, will refuse to run under GrapheneOS. Also, yeah you’d be missing out on some of the exclusive Pixel features that are part of Google’s stock ROM. But overall it works well and handles Play Store backend stuff pretty seamlessly while still keeping the security tight.

From what I understand camera quality and other features may be less performant than stock as well, though in the case of my Pixel 5a the camera experience wasn’t that great before anyways so it didn’t matter to me.

For now on my main phone I’m just gonna keep using stock and dipping into Android betas to mess with the new stuff coming to Pixel phones. Maybe once my desire to be part of that ecosystem is lessened I’d just go for Graphene on my Pixel 7.

Discord cant stream desktop audio at all on Linux aside from sharing a tab’s audio if you’re using Discord in a web browser. There are custom clients (like discord-screenaudio which OP mentioned) capable of doing this to some extent but they’re based on the web version of discord and lack features / can be buggy. Also these options don’t have hardware encoding so any fast moving content will become a choppy mess for the viewers.

The other alternative on Linux is to just route the app’s audio into your mic source. Others will hear it but it will come out as if its your mic so even those not watching the stream will have to hear the stream audio unless they mute you.

I’ve had a Pixel 5a and currently have a Pixel 7. Have enjoyed them greatly. The 5a was a bit mediocre overall, camera performance wasn’t that great & it got a bit slow over time. That being said, the clean OS experience and integration was always nice and it was perfectly suitable for my needs at a good price.

Now that I’m using my Pixel 7 as a daily, the Pixel 5a is holding up pretty well with GrapheneOS as a backup phone / media player.

Pixel 7 has been really nice to me. Interface is smooth, camera is nice, everything just works essentially. And getting the latest Android pretty quickly is a nice feeling. My only gripe is that Google’s SoC is still a bit lacking and battery life isn’t the best, but I hear the current Android beta has some promising battery life improvements.

Overall I’ve been having a good time with them. Still kinda miss my Nexus 5x tho, that thing was sweet…

But the article is talking about unsupported Chromebooks being sold through Amazon and Walmart. Google isn’t selling the unsupported Chromebooks on their own web store.

Even when you’re not intentionally plagiarizing, Turnitin may catch something that could screw you over when the assignment is submitted. Sometimes you have a chance to see what Turnitin analyzes and resubmit the assignment but OP is saying they can only submit it once so they want to use the Grammarly checker first.

Yes, SteamOS does count as Linux. Android does not. The Android and iOS Steam app is just for social features / store, not for playing games so neither show up on the survey.

SteamOS Holo, which is what the Steam Deck uses, makes up 42% of the Linux systems in the survey results.

Ahh, i see what you mean. My bad haha

Tbh I have not really encountered people saying they use Discord for privacy reasons, usually it’s people complaining about the privacy implications of discord

Yeah it usually downloads sync’d stuff to Internal Storage/Android/media/com.nextcloud.client

Haha thats a fun idea. Might have to add that to my config

I don’t have an answer for you unfortunately but I gotta say thanks for mentioning LosslessCut. I’ve been using video-trimmer for quickly clipping stuff from long videos and it’s had a lot of issues for me, no idea how losslesscut slipped past my radar. Gonna give it a try when i get home :D

DOOM Eternal. Really fun game if you’re into fast paced shooters with fun movement mechanics. I loved the 2016 DOOM reboot and Eternal is even better in a lot of ways imo.

I’m not here to debate you on how the great firewall compares to what other countries do, I wasn’t saying anything like that

The part I was pointing out is that it’s hypocritical, in my opinion, for a government (China) to act like there’s some injustice being done to them by countries like the USA putting sanctions on them when they are currently voluntarily cutting their population off from the world.

They’re saying they want to collaborate while at the same time preventing their own citizens from accessing many western websites and services.

Maybe if this was a completely isolated situation it makes more sense but it seems hypocritical to say something like this while their government is actively bolstering the great firewall to prevent Chinese citizens from accessing stuff the rest of the world has access to

February 2022 they put out an update that enabled Proton support for EasyAntiCheat. Apex and Overwatch 2 both work.

I think most people who are already using windows will just stay on 10 for as long as possible rather than switching. I had a friend still using windows 7 by the time 11 rolled around. But once 10 hits EOL maybe the momentum will convince more of those to switch to a Linux distro

Yeah, its a bit much. But hey, it’s something that brings a lot of the users here together. Common ground to get conversation going and gets the new Reddit refugees interacting with content on here. After a while it’ll probably die down but it’s very much at the forefront of new users’ minds.

Ayy I got into Bloodywood a little while back, they’re pretty sick. Haven’t gone through a lot of their catalog but cool to see them mentioned, seems like their fanbase has been growing a ton over the past year
