This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they’re so hard.

Volla supports dual boot. Android and Ubuntu. Play with Ubuntu, work with Android.

This isn’t built to trap you into an ecosystem. It’s only built to give options. Each app is enforcing the activitypub protocol.

It requires some registry or command line crap to deal with it on consumer grade Windows.

They’re going to try what they’re going to try. This won’t sway me, but it might sway someone. In which case, that user is subsidizing me
butter@midwest.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Nothing Announces "iMessage on Android"English2·1 year agoIt hurts the ability to send multi media. Specifically video just can’t be sent over MMS if you want to do more than listen.
You might check out privacy guides instead of privacy tools. Basically, the owner of privacy tools wouldn’t make changes that the community wanted, causing privacy guides to be formed.
Read both, form your own opinion. I don’t like how tools has what amounts to ads on it.
I’m thinking I’ll buy it for it, and gift it to her at work, where she can choose to take it home.
And good advice on Google photos thing. I’m planning to set it up ad hoc.
Yeah, it’s the other kids I’m worried about.
This is my single biggest fear with our daughter going to a babysitter. Kids just seem to be always sick.
My wife has 3 more weeks before her 12 week maternity leave is up. I’m thinking about buying her a WiFi picture frame and having it set up in her office, loaded with baby pictures.
I’m also afraid that’ll make her sad.
I pushed for wireless offline. It gives you a camera and a monitor. Wireless with plenty of range. Two way talk. White noise options on the camera.
The biggest advantage is that it’s something you can leave on and open. I know if my baby is coughing or hiccuping or yelling immediately. I’m not getting a little ding on my phone that says my camera heard something. That wouldn’t wake me up.
I just got the v tech from Walmart. It was expensive and the best I can say about it is that it’s sufficient. We needed one in a pinch. I’d do real research if you go this route.

butter@midwest.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•The excellent Arc browser is now available for anyone to download1·2 years agoThe only interesting browser launch in years was brave. And even that lost hype after some time. It actually tried something new. The idea of being able to cash out your ads, or donate them to the websites you actually used was novel. And it wasn’t a horrible idea.
But at least it added something. According to marketing, this is just changing the layout and claiming it’ll change the way you interact with the web. Also a vague promise of AI, which honestly sounds like a negative at this point.
Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.
I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff
