- Doesn’t have millions to market like the alternatives.
- More technical requirement (historically anyways)
- Much less likely to be the default on hardware (which is what most ppl stick to)
Regardless of how you feel about subscriptions, it’s a step in making the fediverse a more viable option for that that create content for a living.
Made the switch as well thanks to the modern key bindings
Prior to switching (upgrading?) to Wayland, Debian KDE crashed under X11 regularly when waking from hibernation and the taskbar would disappear. Restarting the plasma shell made it operable again, so I created an alias and regularly rebooted the DE shell 2-3x a day:
alias damnTaskbar='killall plasmashell ; kstart plasmashell &'
For game subscription services, I use a month as a ‘taster’ and then buy games outright that will keep me busy for months. Paying for a subscription in perpetuity isn’t worth it for my gaming, but admittedly, I’m a millennial that grew up before online gaming et al.
I get it. I’m a year in and was pulling my hair out dealing w/ frustrating issues for the first few weeks/months. Smooth sailing now, but I don’t deny the learning curves that are possible.
I’m preaching to the choir here on Lemmy but I’m glad that I made the jump to Linux last year
There’s also cheat as well
Can you copy/paste your code so that we can take a look at it? Alternatively, if you load a tix on the Clipious GitHub, they might be able to assist.
Didn’t know this, thanks for sharing!
Interesting name choice

I believe that Wi-Fi points are more accurate than towers especially when they’re sharing the information with indoor retailers
I think this is the reason why Google implemented it. They already track you over Wi-Fi when you do not explicitly turn off the option, so Bluetooth is going the same route
I don’t want to go conspiracy theory, but in my opinion it feels like a dark pattern to increase the time people have Bluetooth on. I believe they did the same thing with success for Wi-Fi. If I recall correctly, even when you are not connected to a device, Google can estimate your location based on what Wi-Fi networks you are in proximity to and something to varying degrees might work for Bluetooth as well which is why they also roll the feature over to the Bluetooth toggle
If you know how to write scripts in bash, that is an alternative way to trigger night mode/dark themes. You can use curl wttr.in
to get your local sunrise/sunset, write a simple IF statement if the time is greater than sunset/sunrise and automate it via cron/systemD.
Alternatively, there are a few options floating around on GitHub iirc
It is Google’s attempt to limit what is possible within a chromium browser. It will potentially lead to the demise of numerous ad blocking extensions for example. It is one of the driving forces that encouraged me to move to Firefox to be honest.
It automatically redirects websites. So for example every time that I go to a site that has unscrupulous marketing and tracking, I can potentially use a privacy friendly front end alternative website. For example, every time I visit a Reddit link, it can redirect me to a teddit link, which is a front end alternative that strips out the marketing. These front end alternatives apply to a variety of websites such as YouTube, Urban dictionary, Wikipedia, etc.
You can find either of the listed extensions on GitHub to install them
My personal opinion is that it was:
