That's where fakespot comes into play. I have the add on on my browser and it rates the reviews. Anything below a B is probably filled with fakes. You can even sort the entries using fakespot adjusted review scores.

I am sucker for these things. I have a small laptop I keep around for menial tasks and I use Mint on it. I wanted to change it for a while and this article just tipped the balance. Fedora here we go! Although I will be using Xfce for it's lightweight.

But.... Yay Linux! Yay Fedora! Yay OP!

I have a water container I need to take care of in my house. An ultrasonic sensor hooked to my raspberry 3b uploads the collected data to my vps that later serves an html through Flask to show the water level. It has a few alarms so that I can take action at the appropriate time. The ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 suck and I have to replace them quite frequently. Other then that it works really well.

I read an article about. Here is another one. Doesn't seem to mention any of the effects on Foss software so I might be out of the loop.

What I do is use Chrome to cast the tab to whatever I want. Works flawlessly.

There soon will be because EUR turned their arm into opening the chat protocol. As soon as that happens expect other chats to be able to talk to whatsapp without the oficial app. So hopefully... Soon.

I think this man alone has done more damage to society than anyone else in modern history. I am astounded on why this has been allowed for so long.

I think the UAW planned for these layoffs. What is Ford suppose to do with all the workforce standing around when the supply chain has been cut and halted on strategic sections. The whole assembly line is down, not just the striking workers. They were counting on Unemployment benefits from the government to stretch out the UAW fund to it's maximum. This move puts Ford in a much tighter squeeze and will probably help leverage the negotiations on behalf of the UAW. Also, the public eye will frown upon the big 3 by laying off workers. On top of losing sales and market they will hurt their reputation which will be the costlier of them all. It seems that the UAW is prepping for the long haul. Let's go workers!!!

I just hope that this gets resolved quickly and favorably because all of the industry (supply chain all the way to the bottom) will hurt because of this.

I defaulted to DDG now. It has been working just fine. Every now and then I can't find something and I will append a "!g" at the end of the search in DDG to get Google results.

I will use Yandex when searching for more copyright infringing content which works very well too.

That has me 100% covered. If I were to lose Google I would still be 98% covered.

Plex will cast to a Chromecast with subtitles. It will also fetch them if you don't have an SRT file in the folder of your video with the same name. Lenguages is also selectable at the time of fetch. I do not pay for pro. Nonetheless, I have not tried jellyfin and cannot tell you if it is possible there or not. My guess is it should.

Excel Python yay! Cloud interpreter boo! But overall yay! I am really excited to try this out. I run a bunch of data analysis and simulations. It will be very cool to streamline some of the heavy lifting python does while still being inside an excel file.
