Have you tried Bottles and/or Wine?

I’ve never had a problem running anything from the Adobe or Microsoft Suite for example, in fact I think they run waaay smoother on linux

But yea I get it, a lot of people associate compatibility with gaming only.

Have you checked out Protondb.com ?

It’s been a lifesaver gaming wise. Nice to know most games do and can run on linux, it’s usually the ones with some sort of online anti-cheat that don’t run.

I read an article that China, while yes they are the outspending US in fusion research, also have exponentially more PhD’s working on the research as well.

I’ll share what a Harvard professor and copyright lawyer sent me in an email:

I write with a gloomy update for the Hachette v. Internet Archive appeal in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals: The court affirmed the lower court’s decision about CDL, and ruled that Internet Archive’s Open Libraires program was NOT a fair use.

One shining moment though, was that the court ruled that a “Donate Now” button does not indicate “commercial use” for purposes of the fair use argument. (Phew!)

There is more to unpack here, but we will be hosting a series of CFR talks in the coming weeks to discuss the decision and it’s implications.

FLAC is best if space is no concern. But when your collection starts getting very big, there are better options like AAC (which I use). It’s a lot less space than FLAC and mp3, and higher quality than mp3 as well.

A few times when I download more than an album from someone,I send them a quick “thanks for the albums!”

Before I download from someone, I always check their user info too

Isn’t AV1 exclusively for video recoding? I haven’t heard of it being used for photos.

Soulseek!! It's awesome

1. P2p isn’t a must, especially after mullvad fiasco.

2. Look into Sonarr, Radarr, and jackett. Seriously, after months of being too lazy to set it up, I caved and am never going back. If you just want to stream torrents download stremio with the torrentio plugin.

3. Qbittorrent.

Gonna have to hard agree with this.

I’d look into Apple’s AAC format as it is the best compromise of space and quality currently.

I encode my FLACs to 256k vbr, which is high enough and saves a ton of space vompared to mp3.

Also I use musicbee to do this.

No, then there is no point to Lemmy being federated at all.

Better to just have each community develop their own flavor on the same topic imo

I’d recommend a brain

“We’re the good guys, trust me!”
