Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he’s owned the property.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish1·5 months agoWhat’s your setup for self hosting? Do you use a vps or host on your own network?
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English1·5 months agoI feel like I did at one point, but I should probably try again
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English2·5 months agoYeah I’m not super surprised… It used to work well when I bought it back in '17 but it’s become worse and worse with updates.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is everyone using as a HTPC?English4·5 months agoI’m not a home theater power user, but this is good info to make sure my setup is future proof for when I finally get a new TV. All these different standards get really confusing.

ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Finally did it, got my parent on linux.English11·9 months agoYeah this tracks, I don’t understand why people recommend Debian so much, especially to new users. Distros that update more regularly like Mint or Fedora (for non nvidia users) are much better options.
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?English11·9 months agoThis would be solved if coin op washers locked. You could take the key like in a gym locker room. They’d probably have to charge per cycle + time to keep people from leaving them all day.

Image display is an important feature for me. If konsole supported it, I’d just use that. If I’m on a gnome system I’ll pretty much always change the terminal because gnome terminal has a lot of issues with font rendering that I find annoying
I used to prefer Gnome before the KDE 6 update due to the rough edges in KDE. After KDE 6 came out I’ve tried it again, and it’s incredible. The team has spent a lot of time on polish for this major release and it allows KDE’s suite of more fully featured applications to shine. GNOME apps like gedit, nautilus, and gnome terminal tend to provide the minimum level of functionality, whereas KDE’s applications feel like they’re trying to work for power users. Kate goes as far as supporting the LSP for code autocompletion. KDE’s desktop is much more customizable as well, so you don’t really need extensions to get the functionality you’d be looking for in GNOME, stuff like the application launcher are built in. KDE connect is a really useful application you can install on your phone to get file transfers and notification sharing, among other things, between your phone and computer while connect to the same local network. Performance wise they seem pretty equal, even on older hardware, but KDE might have a bit of an edge in terms of RAM usage, YMMV depending on how you customize the desktop. The one thing I miss about GNOME is their “start menu” experience, I haven’t found a way to replicate that in KDE, but I haven’t looked very hard either. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate recommending KDE, plasma 6 makes me actually feel like the Linux desktop is ready for mainstream.

ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism WrongEnglish51·10 months agoYou can’t e2e the to and from headers in an email. that’s a problem with the protocol, not with proton. I’d assume the subject line falls into a similar bucket, because mailservers probably want to use it to filter spam
ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’English41·10 months agoThe fediverse could pose a threat to the market dominance of the Facebook platform and instagram, as there are applications that aim to be direct competitors (frendica, plemora, pixelfed) already in the fediverse. If the fediverse grows, there will be no reason for people to stay on Meta’s platforms without them reducing advertisement and increasing user privacy, which is obviously not something they want to do.

The traffic avoidance is much more aggressive than Google maps
