  • I use freetube on desktop ( The libredirect extension make it an ease ), and since i watch subscribed channels in phone, i use revanced. So that i don't cause viewership loss to them ( IDK it will affect them directly or not, just for my pleasure. )

  • For PC's the whisper can be now run on many common laptops and desktops ( with almost good accuracy ) , thanks to projects like whisper.cpp and faster-whisper.

    There also happens a lot of model's getting released by meta like wav2vec2 and MMS ( not seen using anywhere though )

    I guess there are many python packages for aforementioned projects too.

  • I thought I would never have to see BSOD after switching to linux, but here we go...

    [ tbh, I love that errors are presented much better, just that the name doesn't bring back much good memories.

  • Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.

    Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.

  • How are you still using that old os ? Also how does it perform ? do the modern web run in it ?

    Updated Documentation · This Week in GNOME

    I'm happy to see the improvements in the mobile side of things ( phosh ). As per different reviews i heard , what it mainly need are perfomance improvements though.

  • I don't know about graphene, but doesn't some android roms allow to use custom ( more private Webview implementations) instead of default ?

    Incoming changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention

    We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

    To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.

    This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

    • If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with

    pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.

    • If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
    • If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacm

  • Doesn't Tor on Tails come with ublock origin ? I don't get why Tor doesn't come with it preinstalled too

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Probably that if possible, you can link to original article from itsfoss. And possibly for all such news ( unless its overly bloated / behind a paywall )

  • News18 first showed the picture of a Muslim man as culprit ( before getting his name & details )

    And if u follow twitter, Even Sachin Tendulkar and PV sindhu suddenly got "shocked" by the incident.

    Not saying that all our medias are working with an agenda ( many of above channels just want their viewership rise, no matter how ), but there has been efforts to communalize the narrative too.

    What is your opinion ?

    Although i applaud their moral stance, this probably only helps to just stagnating one more business. Its not as if they were providing any defence clothes or equipments.

  • Yeah. If someone have a good DE , arch is as easy as some other distros. I have 3 friends whose laptops i installed with pure arch + GNOME ( by sideloading aside windows, but setting arch as default 😈) . Its still on their laps, and the only problem they only thing i had to say them was to update weekly or bi-weekly.

  • It mainly depends on your likes. What i did was to find one or two accounts related to my favourite topic and then checking their "following" tab. It really helps to Fill my feed

    Also, most accounts boost other accounts/ post, which also acts as a way for me to discover accounts.

  • I don't remember any films, but this shortfilm about timeloop was good. https://youtu.be/35z4bChYS_A

    There appears to be a few more ones too related to time travel. Thankyou for reminding to check em out

  • I just had to uninstall "Enhancer for youtube", and reload the YT page. Not even ubock cache clearing was necessary. ( maybe different for different people )

  • Right now, this feature is client specific. Some have it ( like Sync ), most dont.

    The happy news is , a serverside option to block an instance is already merged and will be available in next (big) Lemmy upgrade 19.0. After that, the client apps will easily be able to implement it ( Now, i guess they are just filtering posts client side if from that instance )

  • I've tried it too. The nous_hermes model worked very well ( except that its a little slow than chatgpt )

    Extension bisect : A vscode tool to find bad/buggy extensions faster.

    What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

  • Since that post was'nt available for me atm, just reposting relevant Github blog : 1-Click RCE on GNOME

    The TL;DR

    libcue is a library used for parsing cue sheets—a metadata format for describing the layout of the tracks on a CD. it’s used by tracker-miners: an application that’s included with GNOME.The index is automatically updated when you add or modify a file in certain subdirectories of your home directory, in particular including ~/Downloads. To make a long story short, that means that inadvertently clicking a malicious link is all it takes for an attacker to exploit CVE-2023-43641 and get code execution on your computer.

    An excellent read. ( and a long one )

  • Usually that is the case. normally gnome stays in the testing repo for a few months. Gives enough time for extension managers to update extensions, and thus, us not having heavily broken workflows. It mostly will only be out as stable only after the gnome 45.1 release.
