This is why I use xManager for free Spotify Premium, YouTube Revanced for free YouTube premium, and torrent everything else that I need. I’m so tired of subscriptions for literally everything.

My spice tolerance definitely increased after living in Sichuan Province for 6 months.

I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won’t watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.

I’ve hopped around to a bunch of different distros, but I always return to Debian Stable. I don’t really need the most bleeding-edge packages for my system, due to my use case.

Most of my actual apps are installed via Flatpak, so they’re all pretty recent, while still being on a rock-solid stable distribution.

I definitely do recommend setting the max_parallel_downloads to between 10 and 20. I had the same issue as OP with DNC being super slow, and this fixed it perfectly. I don’t know why that’s not set by default.

I use Fedora. I like the combination of recent, stable, up-to-date software, new releases every six months, and firmware updates for my ThinkPad direct from Lenovo.

Bash on Terminator with powerline theme from Oh-My-Bash. I think the colors are the generic Linux colors in Terminator.

I hate the heat, and especially sweating when I’m not specifically exercising. The other day it was 43C / 110F, and it’s miserable. 😭

Go Terps! I also graduated from UMD in 2014!

Damn, a 1.5GB Excel file!? That sounds like a nightmare to work with. And here I thought a 200MB Excel file acting as a store’s entire yearly accounting ledger (where I used to work) was bad!

At this point, you need a proper database and some reporting scripts / software. If that one file somehow gets corrupted, it’s all over.

Salutations friend, and welcome! :D I’m excited to see so many people joining Lemmy.

I used Ubuntu from 8.10 until the introduction of snaps (2017, 2018?). And since then I’ve just stuck with Debian. :)

I went from Slide to Apollo. When I heard about the API news, I tried out their official app, and it was just horrible. There were even ads in the comments!

Yeah, I’ve been a subscriber to that channel for a while now. :D Our company’s HQ is in the Netherlands, so perhaps one day I’ll make it out there.

👍 Can the keyboard fit in your pocket?

Actual two-way bike lanes!? And here I am in Texas, dodging giant holes in the concrete and avoiding getting hit by cars. That looks like it was a nice ride!

Nice! I’m building an Ergodone keyboard right now that also has a transparent acrylic case.

Nice! I’m doing a transparent Ergodone build, but I didn’t find any transparent keycaps that I liked all that much, so that’s the only part that isn’t transparent.

I’m a sucker for MT3 keycaps. Looks good!
