I think the comparison with Lemmy is moot, since Lemmy (or the Fediverse as a whole) isn't owned by one centralized entity. Twitter quite literally has a Nazi as its owner. Sure, progressive people still have tools at their disposal to be able to use Twitter, but I think it makes sense to question why we should use such a platform.
I like Sway, it obviously needs a bit of configuration to be useful, but that's partly what I like about it, and using a distro like Guix (Nix configured with Lisp) makes it easy to have the same settings on multiple PCs. Otherwise I like GNOME; it's well supported and has many good apps. Touch/touchpad support is really good as well.
Happy to help! Have fun!
Seems to have an ALSA UCM configuration since 2022: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/issues/220
If I've understood this correctly, it should just work, and PipeWire should understand the interface.
If you're interested, I have a good experience with yabridge for running Windows VSTs in Linux-native DAWs. If it's the applications themselves, then I have no experience. I ran the FL Studio demo in Wine for a few minutes but that's essentially the end of my experience, since I have Reaper.
I guess I mostly agree, though, I disagree that it isn't acknowledged. From what I see, piracy oftentimes is explicitly precisely just because people want something for free (myself included tee-hee).
The preservation argument has gotten a lot more prevalent, and I agree that there are a lot of people who use that as a justification for pirating while not actually working to preserve the media they pirate, but I at least see far more people who don't justify it at all. Not that they have to, IMHO.
[Image Description]: A meme in the style of anti-piracy ads stating the following:
You wouldn't pirate a game you already paid for to be able to play it again since the company stopped supporting it and no longer sells it
What's missing in PipeWire for it to be "pro audio"? Genuine question, since I've been making some music casually and heard from music producers that it's actually quite good.
I agree with the other commenter recommending to migrate as soon as possible while the kernel still does support, but that does seem like a workable strategy if you can't for the foreseeable future.
Use an old kernel version (if yours doesn't still support it) and something like btrfs-convert to get a maintained filesystem instead. Works pretty well in my experience with converting other filesystems to btrfs.
AWOOO SIBLING! DO YOU KNOW IF THE PACK EXISTS ON LEMMY TOO? IS THERE A PLACE FOR ALL US HOG CRANKERS TO GATHER YET?
Debian is good :)
I myself love Guix, though, so I get why you wanna run NixOS as well.
OpenGamepadUI works well as a FOSS alternative to Steam if you'd like that as well.
I don't live with them since last fall, but I go back on occasion. Getting the space to just exist in my own home has given me room to start validating my own identity as trans. I have thought about it, and I'll probably start writing up something tomorrow to send to them. I feel like I have a lot of mental inertia, which I have to overcome. I've hid this for 11 years, if not longer, with occasional blips of just not being able to do it and not feeling understood as a result. Overcoming this inertia by re-engaging with it has been hard, because I get really anxious every time I have to confront it, but doing breathing exercises, listening to trans-affirming ASMR, and meditating feels like it's helping.
Thanks <3
I get some mixed signals from my parents, but I think they're generally supportive. My mother has misgendered some trans celebrities on occasion, but this may just be down to change being tough.
I'm looking to shop for some clothes, and I might ask a cis woman I know for tips, who I also know is supportive of her other trans friends. I've discussed queerness before and helped her realize she was bi when talking through it. Kinda make it a two-in-one, coming out and getting clothes I actually like. She's also been quite supportive of my gender non-conformity before, so I think she could be a good ally :)
Thank you for all your wonderful responses! I'll probably need to digest them a bit. I'm doing work on just normalizing the thought to myself, gonna try to write up a draft to send to my parents. <3
I bet it was still important as a gesture of solidarity, and it's also valid to go home if it's not worthwhile. Supportive people really inspire hope in me, and I think it's that way for a lot of other trans people, too :)
Hi all! I'm a trans woman who's known since I was a kid. My classmates brought up the topic of being trans once in class, and I remember mentioning my desire to "maybe become a woman when I grow up", as I put it. I can't remember the reaction clearly, but I must've been pretty put off since I didn't attempt to talk about it for quite a while after.
Fast forward to me being about 14. I get a deep episode of dysphoria and instead of hiding away like I usually would, I go to my mother, entirely pale in the face. We talk a bit in private and the only thing I can get out of my mouth is that I don't feel like a boy. She takes it as me not feeling like I live up to the gender norms and tries to solve that. Meanwhile I can't keep talking. My brain stops producing words at all and I just can't say anything.
This happens a lot of times over the years every time my mother asks me to buy new clothes for myself, every time the same complete shutdown. I really just want to continue working this out, and I'm in desperate need of new clothes, since I haven't bought any in years. I hate buying men's clothes, but if I continue boy-moding when I go back home, I'd have to buy new ones.
Thank you for reading this, whoever you are. I'm running on practically no sleep so I apologize if this is wordy, or unclear in any way. I just need to be done with this.
I have a laptop with limited decoding capabilities with regards to royalty free formats, which YouTube tends to use, but I do prefer the quality that I get out of av1/vp9 encoded content on YouTube when using those on my home PC over what I get through h264ify.
What I do have, is a server which runs Jellyfin and can transcode content just fine. Is there any software I could host which could transcode videos I watch with a browser extension via my server?
Sorry if this is jumbled or unclear but it's something that I would really have a use for, and if feasible, would even write myself.
I set this up a few weeks ago since all my systems, except one Gentoo server, run Debian and I am very happy with it. Should work on all distros using apt (Mint, Ubuntu, etc.) and I've read that dnf may work with it as well.
