Plex or Jellyfin might be what you’re after.

Yeah, this would make sense. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few “piracy repos” you could add to your package manager. I’ve never thought to look haha.

I mean, you kind of just described two things that are specifically hard to get working properly on Linux in general - MS Office and the Adobe suite. You’re better off using FOSS alternatives, like LibreOffice and Krita or GIMP. Otherwise, you’ll need something like Lutris as a Wine frontend to install Windows apps - and at that point, you might as well just install stock Linux, get qBittorrent going, pirate what you want, and install as needed. Plus, I don’t think I’d trust the security of a modified version of Linux for piracy. That’s just asking to be exploited.

It’s just a pre-registration right now.

I’ve been checking the Play Store twice a day since the alpha testing started. I can’t tell if Google sent it back for some reason, or if they’re just really, really slow to approve.

Discord said the pre-registration should be live in a day or two. And that was 3 days ago. I’m impatient. 😂

Honestly, I’d suggest making an alt account (maybe on lemmynsfw) just for NSFW, add the login to Jerboa, and switch to that account when you want to view NSFW stuff. It’s also nice because you can make a subscription list there and it won’t affect your main/non-NSFW account.

I was on µTorrent for a long time on a really old build (like 2.2.1) because it got even more bloated and crappy with every new release, especially over 3.0. I realized, aside from missing new features and stuff, it was probably a security risk being that far behind. I made the switch to qBittorrent and never looked back. It basically took everything I liked about that old style build of µTorrent and brought it into modern times.

Good, good. I’ve got some Rewards money to burn on the Play Store by mid-August. Hoping to get a Pro purchase in there. 👽

Snaps are proprietary to Canonical (Ubuntu). Historically, they were larger, slower to load, and generally slower overall to use With a good SSD and system, I’m not sure that’s the case anymore though.

Most major distributions come with a software center of some kind. And with Flatpaks, AppImages, and gag Snaps, it pretty much is just click and install these days.

Around 2004, maybe 2005, I had to recover some files from an old laptop and landed on a live CD of Knoppix for the job. Dabbled in Linux a bit after, but not seriously, for the better part of the decade after - mostly distro hopping and having fun, especially with old hardware, back when Ubuntu was in better standing with the community.

Ended up using it more seriously in the last ~5 years. Hopped around Mint, Manjaro (actually lasted 2 years before I borked it), and OpenSUSE before finally landing on Fedora, which has been my daily for maybe 2 years now. With the Red Hat stuff, depending on how that pans out, I’m debating on just going to vanilla Debian at this point. But I’ve always had a soft spot for Mint, so we’ll just have to see.

As for Windows, I still have my main tower with Win 10 (no Linux) that I’ve upgraded throughout the years from Win 7. But Win 11 isn’t having it, so once Win 10 hits EOL, it’ll get Linux as well (assuming it doesn’t kick the bucket first).

Twice a day (sometimes three). Once when I wake up, before breakfast/coffee (but might get pushed til after on occasion), and once before bed, every day. A third time might be in the middle of a day before heading out somewhere if my mouth feels like it needs it, especially if I’ve eaten something with garlic (etc).

Fedora is what finally got me to stop distro hopping 2-3 years ago. :(

Liftoff has been my favorite so far. The only thing I don’t care for is how accounts and subscriptions are handled. There’s a lot of room for cross contamination because you can switch subscriptions without switching the active user (and vice versa).

Can’t wait for Sync.

Mostly FOSS these days. There’s just so many options now. There’s a few things I have from the old days as I’ve updated from Windows 7 through 10 over the years.

Happens on upvoting for me quite a bit.

Android (stock, for now) on a Pixel 6. As for why, I’m the “weirdo” in the peer group that uses Linux and Lemmy, so why wouldn’t it track that I’d be the one messing up video quality on group texts with my green bubble?

I think it’s coincidence. I used my main email address and have the same amount of junk, spam, scams, and phishing crap as usual.

Spez is doubling down. He’s shown his hand. He’s lied. It’s like watching Anakin’s descent to the dark side. He’s too far gone.

I don’t really think there is a going back. The watering hole is poisoned. There’s no more good faith. And, I think for a lot people, especially people here, it’s a matter of principle at this point.

I might check in on certain niche subs that don’t move on to other platforms, but the days of gleefully doomsctolling are over.
