NewPipe is one of "THE APPS" that make me regret a bit that I had to move to iOS again. The possibility to just download and listen offline and also to create playlists without an account are awesome.

I had to laugh when I read about this "Ubuntu install process" - Is there really still people on earth who can screw that up? :-D

Haha at least you are honest ;-)

Yes, always!

This would be the internet that was used in Star Trek I think. The computers they use can just be asked about something and the whole system is searched for that - so the service to find things is inherent to the system itself. In our world

Oh I forgot - many of the ppl responsible for implementing these patterns are here to vote stuff like this down.

Yes of course! In a capitalist market where the one main goal is to earn as much profit as you can people use everything legal on a big scale because they won't have a chance to beat competition otherwise. The really big ones even inve

Ok, so the solution would be to decentralize and distribute solutions to autonomous entities to reduce the size of the system that is directly involved (big system is still the source of money and strategic planning, like in most companies)

I agree. The main reason for over-population is the lack of enough wealth ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility ) and I think this is important for the ongoing inheritance of poverty. 1. The systemic issue

While I think you are right about this comparison, I still believe the initial hypothesis is a good one: "Does anyone deserve to have a billion dollars?" No matter what the rest of the article tells us or asks (because there is ju

A consumer can still decide for himself if he has enough and the right education and set of mind. An electronic device connected to a brain could inject thoughts without the carrier even noticing it's not the thoughts who are supposed

Until someone hijacks your little device and you are transformed into a zombie ;-)

Ok thank you then for pointing that out and I agree that name-calling is unnecessary most of the times. In the case of Trump however I think he has become a figure of a certain way to think and act which is almost meme-esque. Of course we c

Exactly, TIFF is very popular because of the printing process. You don't need layers for that of course and under normal circumstances you'd export your layered file to a one-layer TIFF.

Nice phrase, I'll remember that one. I had to read your answer twice to realize you just compared the "Orange Monkey" to Obama. Very funny though the only thing they have in common is that they will have been POTUS. I think t

I'm afraid I don't know enough about them and their politics to criticize them. We could discuss about their view of the EU policy but I think it would be another topic for another thread. Why are you demanding this when I say tha

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
This attitude may give you some downvotes - BTW: Many people here are from the US and they usually react to criticism about their countries policy and leader in a bad way.

The relevant thing about 1984 is not the time by which this is "supposed to happen". The important give-away from the book is that when we (ppl of earth) allow our governments and the industry (in whatever form) to take that amoun

This can only be said by someone who doesn't use IM "properly". IM is: - asynchronous (vs. f2f or calls) - multi-format (text, audio, video or files) - searchable (vs. f2f, calls and in my case email which is horrible t

Yes they should just because they can, it's easier, you don't need extra hardware when an RPi is already there and it's good to know how to do that when no SDR is around.

Thank you for the work and for open sourcing it! I hope you can keep up the good work and would love to see more of this.

You are basically right but for me this is a bit different. My family and friends like to come to me with their IT problems and it's easier for me to solve them if they use Linux. The big problems with Mac/Windows can in many case

You must have some bad luck. There is plenty of great Desktop Environments nowadays that can easily compete with the UX you are used to from Windows (KDE Plasma, Gnome 3, Deepin,...). Most things just work out of the box even without instal

Yes very sad - this would be a great idea if we wouldn't have to live in a f *ed up world like this. Surveillance and Advertising are the #1 sectors to use this for.

Haha nice that came to my mind, first :-D

This is so true! I hate that I can't use iTerm2 on linux and I think it's quite ironic that the best terminal emulator is not made for linux and on top of that also free (instead of many other OSX apps). Hope some day we'll g

There's both of them. Google Tools, Social Networks like FB and Tinder are like Odysseus' Sirens - they lure the sailors in with some promises for free to shipwreck them and drive them into addiction so they control the mindset

Thx for the hint that looks really interesting!

Exactly. That's a good example what's wrong in our world. As long as this won't change we won't get closer to the FOSS world that every human deserves.
