I am wondering the same, mentioning the specific hardware makes very little sense, when it could just be mentioned as Linux/Windows/PC and Android/GrapheneOS/etc.

It would arguably be more informative too for people looking for alternatives for their device platforms.

Sharing another app suggestion(s) for Android: Tubular [0] or the more up-to-date LastPipeBender [1].

Both apps differ from NewPipe and its variants by integrating with PeerTube along with YouTube, apart from providing features like SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike.

I have started using PeerTube much more often as my subscriptions from YouTube and PeerTube are now shown together, which makes for a seamless and superior experience altogether.

I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.

E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD's erratic update schedules for its phones.

I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone's release date.

Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.

The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.

GPU-Accelerated Terminal Emulator

So is Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, and even iTerm.

The README's About section[0] sheds no light on what sets Ghostty apart from the competition, while using vague terms and marketing hyperboles.

Most recently, Marvel's Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.

But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.

An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.

Thank you. I shall try it out as a secondary general keyboard.

This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

  1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
  2. What do you do with the videos after watching?

Gunn elaborated […] while talking with Variety.

“I’m excited for people to get to see the essence of what we’re doing, because it really has been like this private secret that we’ve all been hoarding,” he said. “We felt really good about it, like from a moral place, even from the beginning. We all felt like we were doing something good, both in terms of quality and in terms of actually something that’s not a fascistic power fantasy.”

The background score is based on John Williams' score from 1978.

Not sure whether the piece of music is only for the poster or is part of the movie's score.

 

In a chat alongside 'Commandos' showrunner Dean Lowery, the DC Studios co-chief also delves into why that ‘Justice League’ tag from ‘Peacemaker’ season one is no longer canon in the DCU: “They don't exist yet.”

I learned about IBM’s Granite LLM[0] when a toot[1] had a mention of it. I came across the toot while reading a comment[2] here on Lemmy.

I have an old ThinkPad T42 coming my way. I plan to use it alongside my daily driver mainly for reading, emacs, and retro gaming. I will be dual booting a lightweight flavour of Linux (TBD) and Windows 98 on it.

However, I am a bit concerned about its ability to handle today's internet, with all of its heavy websites.

I would love to hear from those of you who are still using old ThinkPads (or other vintage laptops) in 2024. How do you make it work? Do you use lightweight browsers, specific configurations, or lightweight websites to get around the limitations of older hardware?

Are there any specific tips or tricks you can share for getting the most out of an old ThinkPad on the modern web?

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
