I find it helps immensely to not be on social media to begin with.

While I fully agree, it probably depends heavily on so you ask.

The arch package has to be built somehow. You could look at that packages source and/or content to figure out how to manually do it on your system, or wait/hope the deb is being maintained and gets fixed.

It's likely mostly some plumbing, like a systemd service with it's configuration, to get the audio routed properly.

Doable, not practical. Another major concern is the induced dizziness and general discomfort from such a small circumference. If you stand up straight, your head moves significantly slower than your feet. There are more effects that humans don't do well with.

In addition keep in mind that this implies significant mechanical complexity the moment you don't rotate the whole craft, but only a section or ring. If you do rotate all of it, simple tasks like taking a photo become... cumbersome.

Also like others have said, it's not a permanent residence for anyone, and the main goal of the ISS is the study of low- or micro-gravity.

Somewhere between zero and 16. There is no "usually" for me.

I've had just the default KDE wallpaper for make months now. I think I'll have to switch to some of the Artemis shots tho. Might be cliche, but sorry kinda inevitable.

There's also a dedicated recipe in "bottles", which I think is based on it at least in part. As I'm trying to move away from fusion, I haven't tried it yet though. Apparently it can work, but can also randomly break with updates...

There's also In shape, which has it's down sides (some go away with money), but also runs anywhere bring browser based. One of the more obvious down sides is that it's by definition cloud based.

There has been a lot of advances even with Nvidia in recent years. Assuming the GPU in the laptop is semi-modern (not sure if it's 10xx or 20xx and newer, but one of those), you should be able to just install any modern distro and it should just work. This is especially true for gaming focused distros (like CachyOS), which doesn't have to be used for gaming btw. They will auto-detect just fine in the installer and there is zero effort or tinkering required.

I bought 48 GB DDR5 for my laptop back in September, just before the prices ignited their rocket engines. I paid 120€ I think. Prices now are like 500(ish). Truly insane.

There are KVM switches that allow something closer to that at least, but usually only for 2 hosts (pcs). It stands for "keyboard, video, mouse" and they originated in the server space, but recently became common in the home/office as well.

They main purpose is to switch use of the monitors and any attached input devices between PCs. But there are models that allow mixed/shared use as well. If you're looking for one that supports 3 monitors and 3 hosts, with some splitting options, that might be harder to find or cost as rather pretty premium (hundreds).

Yes, and all the download sites and tools don't use anything else either. They all just wrap yt-dlp.

If it stopped working for you, you might have to read the docs on the specific error you're getting to see how to get around it. YouTube does try to make it harder, but it's technologically difficult to fully block. There are workarounds for basically every case as far as I'm aware.

 

I've noticed for a while that when playing a linked video directly in the app, it doesn't respect the global auto-rotate setting of the screen. Only today did I notice that there's a "lock rotation" button at the top of the player, but unless I'm misunderstanding something, it seems to do the opposite of that it's showing: when I see the little lock it's unlocked, and then it's just the rotation icon it's actually locked. For context, my phone's rotation is always locked, but the video always rotates on me.

In general my suggestion for the behavior for playing video would be to rotate and lock it to the "correct" orientation for it's aspect ratio. It makes no sense to play a portrait video in landscape, neither does the other way around. Rotating the phone should probably still be able to flip it 180°.

 

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
