>>107856922Don't worry with Snap you can have 5 versions of Gnome too.
>>107856922>why do applications have dependenciesGee, I do wonder. If they're not used just do a simpleflatpak uninstall --unused
flatpak uninstall --unused
>>107858960>why don't flatpaks have common dependenciesIs the correct question.
>>107858974They do. But software development isn't some fantasy land where everyone is using the same versions of each dependency, so you need multiple versions.

char (*x)[5];
>>107858875if you don't use the retarded syntax it is>char* x[5]which is simply an array of 5 pointers to charand x is a pointer to that array
>>107858893That doesn't seem to be the case though, exactly.

>>107855340I like the pulsar xlite large shape. I have big hands and it's one of a few mouses I found comfortable to use, and their software is non-invasive so I don't mind having it on my system.
>>107858087I've been using trackballs for the past 15 years, sounds like a skill issue.
>>107858087? They still make them
What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.
>>107851098youre autistic as fuck
>>107850587The only time I’ve thought my 16-inch was too big was when I was flying and the seat tray was too small
had a 15 inch laptop and probably wouldnt get one nowits just too big and heavy to lug around, its anti-portable14 inch should be a good compromise
>>107858375unironically yes if you live in europeyou can use something for up to 14 days and return it no questions askedapple is particularly easy with this

Are there any open source streaming OS? Can I buy a roku, rip it apart, and install my own shit? Or do I get a raspberry pi for this usecase?
Rokus are locked down as hell and they have ads built in, you can't root any of them except for ones on older firmware. Just get a fire stick or plug in a spare PC
>>107857471>adsWeird, I have a 4k roku tv and I have never seen any ad
>>107857471>just get a streaming stick branded by an online marketplace that's also subsidized by serving you adswhat
>>107857636Fire sticks are just android so you can root them easily, on a Roku even if you root it then you can't really do anything since the firmware is totally proprietary
>>107857433LinuxThe only question is how to get a normal remote hooked up to it. The rest is just which software you use to mimic what you want on linux
so after almost half a decade of generative AI. investing billions in it. we got:- expensive hardware- content farms getting the steam engine and automating slop videos on youtube and social media- soulless "art" that no one cares about- boomercide of fake AI content on facebook- more bot farms on twitter- codemonkey peasants getting the tractor so they can produce even worse code.- scam AI startups that rugpull and shut down after 2 monthsnot a single penny of profit generatednot a single usecase
>>107858843Usecase for working out more than 2-3 times a week?
>>107858859Big muscles.They are aesthetically pleasing and make your every day life easier.It's like using a mechanical keyboard over membrane.
>>1078588712-3 times a week is more than enough for big muscles
>>107858911What about even bigger muscles, like with ram.16 GB are enough but people go for 32 and even 64.
>>107857814I think AI helps/will help with these actual use cases:>Doing the grunt work for analyzing, calculating and scheduling anything from personal diets to medical lab results>Debugging code>Automating topology and rigging 3D models>Refine image and film editing tools (e.g. green screen actors etc)>Generating concept art and sound>Replace voice actors>Replace Googling>Integrated in games for NPCs with guardrails to give them more interactivity>Helping to learn different skills/subjects (I've learned more by asking AI directly than following slow-ass tutorials)

soo thiis is why MX Blacks have nylon housingsmy pants keep sliding off my nylon stockingsactuating hard rn
MX Blaecks
>>107857951Nothing MX is going to perfectly replicate buckling springs; I think MX blues come somewhat close but they're noisy.There are "silenced" clickies like Gateron Lanes and Kailh Box Mute Jades, but these are still as loud as a normal switch, too loud for most offices.Some keyboards might be quiet enough that these would be ok. My Brutal V2 1800 is many dbs quieter than my top mount Typface Monospace, both foamless with mx browns. And some people have tried drilling holes in the bottom of switches to replicate the silencing technique of the Haimu heartbeat. So here's my idea:You get Gateron Lanes. You drill two small holes in the bottom of each switch to reduce the bottom-out loudness. You get a very quiet board like e.g. the Flatbrains Plaket XL, and build it with these sort of silenced clickies.
>>107857857they're accessible via the fn ke-wait, what the hell
>>107857857First time seeing an F-row less keyboard? Don't worry, it's a piece of shit and anyone with a functioning brain will agree.

Hi /g/ I'm looking to rip my saved songs and playlists from Spotify. I've had a premium acct for a couple of years now but I'd like to download them for personal use so I don't need the acct anymore. Yet, for all my searching I just keep finding sketchy third party applications, usually ones that require a premium acct themselves.Do y'all have any suggestions on how I can download music (that I've paid for with my years of Premium) so I can listen to them whenever I want without the Spotify app? If nothing else I could cross reference them on Youtube and use a shitty youtube to mp3 website, but I'd like something a bit less involved if such a thing exists.
>>107858107NewPipe on your phone. You can download straight from that to your phone. On pc you can use 4K Video Downloader (the program) to paste links and download them.
>>107858177Nice dubsSo it's likely I'll have to go the Youtube route huh? Well it'll keep me busy at least
Deemix will parse Spotify playlists and download matches from Deezer's catalog. Without a premium Deezer account, you'll be limited to 128kbps quality. In the past I just got a 1 month free trial. You'll need to provide a credit card tho.
>>107858590Nice, thanks for the recommendation Anon. You're swell!
>>107858107they literally dropped a torrent of all spotify songs a couple weeks ago

You have to go back.
Why are they so hellbent on destroying their brand? What's their endgame?
>>107858769The US employees with knowledge of Windows internals:- have been laid off- retired- croaked- reassigned to more profitable development
>>107858763desktop linux is not the answer
>>107852109What do you mean by endgame? They imported poojeets and now they will die.Tell me 1 (ONE) indian technology company that produced anything of use to society.Ubisoft even had to cancel their prince of persia remake made in india right before release and tell their canadian studio to start again from scratch cause indians are just that incompetent.
>>107852956That issue will solve itself in a matter of years if Microsoft continue being that retarded.
>>107852109Because they are trying to win the race they already lost only 1.2% of all AI usage use Copilot(Microsoft AI) rest is using different. Also AI currently have shit ton of problems like energy usage, it hell when it comes to resource consumption, etc... unless they find some better algorithms and solve problems around it it's going to pop.
