I’m gonna be honest, I don’t like the amount of power big corporations have. Nintendo is currently abusing their power to stifle their competition and potentially harm the future of gaming. Google recently proved that they have pretty much full control over the internet. Microsoft is ruining the entire PC market. I could name more but these are the first few that came to mind.

I haven’t been paying to much attention to the news but I’ve heard that other, non-NATO, countries have threatened some of the countries that are just simply giving aid to Ukraine. So, I’d assume that those other countries would get involved in some way and just make things worse for everyone.

The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?

Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.

I know you’re probably just joking but I’m not actually sure why it’s called that. The only thing it does that other keyboards don’t (outside of having more keys than anyone would probably need) is that, I’m pretty sure it’s the smallest keyboard app for android. It’s only 1 MB while the second smallest keyboard I know is the LG Keyboard and that uses a little over 4 MB.

While I normally use whatever the default keyboard app is, I do sometimes use Unexpected Keyboard. It doesn’t have auto-correct but it has more keys available than even normal keyboards do. It may take some getting used to though as, for example, to use the “alts” for each key, you have to swipe in that direction. So for example if you wanted to press “Esc” with the default settings, you’d press q and swipe diagonally down and to the right.

For customization, I don’t know if you can add images or gifs but there is some visual options and you have pretty much full control over the layout of the keyboard and what keys it has.

I think since at least middle school. I was already aware of some of the lies and “half truths” that they were teaching us. I don’t remember most of what they taught us but I remember telling some of my classmates about it and they acted like I was weird.

There are currently two main reasons I don’t use PeerTube:

1. Videos have inconsistent playback performance.
2. It’s pretty confusing and difficult to use if you are just looking for an experience similar to YouTube.

If they can find a way to make playback performance consistent and make the entire experience better, then I’d consider using it. But, I already use YouTube alternatives like Odysee and Rumble, so I don’t know how much I’d end up actually using PeerTube.

I’m going to assume that I can’t just buy a 100$ gift card to buy multiple things, so I’d probably just buy a cheap tablet/phone or something.

On a bit of a tangent, I actually looked into android tablets to see if you could actually buy one for 100$. It looks like you can get some decent ones but I’m so confused by their wording. I hate that they seem to use the terms “ram”, “rom” and “memory” both interchangeably and completely differently from how their used for PCs. Does anyone else have this issue or is the mobile market completely different from the PC market?

It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.

Yeah there’s one that I’ve wondered for a while now. Awhile back, I found out that women don’t have prostates but they can still feel pleasure from that hole. How can they feel pleasure from that hole if they don’t have a prostate?

If the issue is with the DE, I’m actually using the Xfce edition of Linux Mint. I would just use VLC but it gives me performance issues because I don’t have the best hardware and mpv seems to work much more efficiently. But yeah, changing the audio output fixed this issue, I’m guessing the flatpak version of mpv defaults to pipewire. I was curious and I did test pipewire with both versions and I got the same results that they did.

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

I know it’s been a while but I tried the flatpak version of mpv and it’s not working. If I open the flatpak version without any music it opens but it becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to load any music. I also have no idea how to diagnose this issue as running the flatpak version in the terminal gives no error messages.

The version that comes with Linux Mint works perfectly fine, so I don’t need the flatpak version, I’m just curious as to why the flatpak version doesn’t work.

If you’re using Windows, DXWnd has some options for improving the graphics in games. It may not work for every game but it’s probably worth checking out.

I might try that later because, like I said earlier, I got the version of MPV that’s already installed to play YouTube videos and that fine for me. I also made configurations to the preinstalled version and I don’t know if it would be easy, or even possible, to transfer them to the flatpak version.

Well, while MPV might be outdated, I already mentioned that I was able to get YouTube videos working by downloading a newer version of yt-dlp and creating a conf file for MPV that links to it. While I was looking into the problem, the versions available in apt for all three of these are outdated by at least a year, possible 3 years for MPV. I’m not sure if this is just a Linux Mint issue but I have noticed that a lot of the software both preinstalled and available in it’s repository, are pretty outdated.

I might try downloading the newer versions of these later. I got MPV working and that’s good enough for me right now.

I got YouTube videos working in MPV. While I have no idea if the way I did it was technically not correct, all I did was download the newest version of yt-dlp from github and created a file name mpv.conf which links to the yt-dlp python file. I was also able to set a preferred resolution using that conf file.

VLC still gives me the same error message.

For MPV, it gives me the following error message:

`mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e9_l2oGxdw [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] 3e9_l2oGxdw: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred Failed to recognize file format.

Exiting… (Errors when loading file) `

I just tried that and it’s not working for me. MPV just closes itself and VLC gives me an error message. Do I need to do more that just drag and drop the URL?

I think the most notable change is that the main hospital in my hometown was moved to the outskirts of the city. It used to be closer to the center but they moved it, possibly because it’s bigger now and they needed more space to work with.

They also tore down the old courthouse and replaced it with one that, at least from the outside, looks smaller. Some of the supermarkets have also move locations and there are some new stores that have taken the old locations.
