i decided i should give an honest chance to some other platform that isn’t spotify, and after basically eliminating my options, the only left is amazon music
it lacks some of my japanese stuff (only some utsu-p stuff is in there, for example), and well, no one is making playlists there

i feel the interface is clunkier (which impresses me, spotify already has clunky interface), but overall is alright i guess

J'ai jamais pris en photo, mais un truc de ce genre qui me fascine, genre je peux rester plusieurs secondes à contempler, c'est le mélange eau-lait (verser quelques gouttes de lait dans une casserole d'eau)...
Ça fait des nuages, des filaments, c'est de la mécanique des fluides élémentaires, un truc tout bête mais hypnotique.

@niavy j'ai craqué pour un verre à pinte chez Duralex l'été dernier, qui me sert à 100% à des infusions l'hiver et du sirop l'été 😅
Et la forme (haut, assez étroit, bien transparent) fait que c'est un observatoire incroyable pour la goutte de lait dans le thé (c'est TELLEMENT beau 🤩), pour voir les feuilles de verveine qui font leur vie dans l'eau, les volutes de sucre... J'adore 😍

Just like everything with the democrat party... it's fake and gay... disregard newscum...

An alternative way of thinking about generative AI, when thinking about what you can automate and build agents around:

rather than thinking of it as a god tool, the next Industrial Revolution - there’s no evidence of that being true - think it of as having many really dumb workers who Google shit and misunderstand it, that you wouldn’t trust to do much correctly, and that you are ultimately accountable for.

HELP!
I got a new phone a few days ago. I was able to install and login to the #nextcloud app without any issues. When I try to login to nextcloud from any other app (DAVx5, antennapod) I can't. I tried my credentials and app passwords. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. This is driving me nuts. Everything works fine on my wife's phone.

@Richard yep. Unfortunately these groups are owned by the likes of Blackrock, Vanguard, and other institutional investment companies that setup portfolios of rentals. That is growing due to influences of massive property tax increases and the absolute insaneness of people throwing down high as hell offers on crap homes just to be in a certain area. Look around at the massive build of apartments. NC is on an apartment craze!!! They then buy them up for revenue. They're pushing this.

OK c'est bon

Quand j'installe des système ubuntu ou dérivés j'aime bien activer flatpak et snap pour les utilisateurices CEPENDANT l'app store de gnome (software center, logiciels) donne toujours la priorité aux flatpak par rapport aux packages de la distribution, c'est cool pour les gens qui veulent la dernière version d'un soft mais pas cool pour les gens qui aiment avoir un truc qui JUSTE MARCHE

petite commande pour rétablir la bonne priorité:

 gsettings set org.gnome.software packaging-format-preference "['deb', 'flatpak','snap']" <br>

Cette commande est valable pour ubuntu, zorin, debian, et tout dérivé de debian ou ubuntu qui utilise le gnome software center

pour les autres distros, mettez "package" ou "RPM" à la place de "deb"

Comprendre l'intérêt pour les novices:

Vous avez plusieurs moyens de distribuer des applications sur linux, ici je parle des paquets de la distribution (package, deb ou RPM) des flatpak et des snap

les paquets de la distribution sont testés et maintenus par votre système linux: ubuntu, debian, zorin, linux mint, manjaro, etc, qui s'assure que les applications fonctionnent bien sur VOTRE système.

elles sont donc souvent plus fiables

cependant sont parfois moins à jour, peuvent avoir une ou deux versions de retard. La plupart du temps, c'est pas grave du tout, généralement vous voulez pas la toute dernière version de votre application.

Parfois aussi, vous allez vouloir une application qui n'a pas été publiée par votre distribution. Un exemple pour moi est l'application Rustdesk. En ce cas, j'aime pouvoir l'installer en flatpak, ou en snap, mais c'est tout de suite un cas largement plus rare. Les flatpak et les snap sont publiés directement par les développeureuses des applications, et donc ne nécessitent pas que les packageur s'en chargent eux-mêmes.

Là ma modification donne donc la priorité à la stabilité plutôt qu'à la nouveauté.

Yes, #Fedilab has some differences between its Google Play version and its #FDroid version.
There are mostly due to restrictions from Google.

In the Google app we had to remove:

- Donation links
- Register an account on Mastodon (as they don't want to understand that the app doesn't collect emails).
- Filter some search results with #Peertube to exclude "YouTube Downloader" videos

To Google users, keep in mind you can easily switch to FDroid, we would be happy to help if you have questions
