Yeah boost is definitely good, it was my main app until a few months ago. Recently I have been trying Connect, which is another great app.

Connect has improved a lot since I first tried it, also doesn’t have any ads. But all things considered - Boost is bit more polished than connect.

I think it’s the Boost app.

Thanks for sharing this, but I have found another way to control the volume. I’m using back taps on my phone to control the volume now. It’s very convenient.

I have edited my post to include how I enabled this.

Bruh I just got the OnePlus 12… Welp…

Pixel pricing is horrendous in my region anyway.

My msi motherboard randomly erases boot entries, I have to keep the computer on for a few minutes and reboot so that my other boot entry appears.

It maybe a problem with the m.2 slot, but it has been the case ever since I bought the motherboard.

Anyways I’m gonna stick to a different manufacturer for my motherboard if I’m building a new PC.

I use a firefox addon to hide shorts. works most of the time I guess.

I agree. Having loops within pixelfed makes more sense.

I was surprised to see moondrop releasing an android device. If they can keep it affordable it will sell well.

Here you go -

At that point BSD will take the place of linux I guess.

I have tried Buyvm when I was getting into selfhosting during the pandemic.

They were pretty cheap too, not sure about the pricing these days but you should take a look.

From the image, I have seen 3 of them on my youtube homepage.

It’s such a distraction while you are browsing for videos… Recently I have been trying this extension to block off shorts. I think it works for the most part.

Hope this helps someone.

I still try interesting distros but the ones I daily drive are usually Arch or Tumbleweed (Void linux came close)

My favourite arch based distro is CachyOS so far, been working really well for me for the past 5 months or so.

Doesn’t that violate Youtube’s ToS ?

I daily drive Window managers but occasionally I also check out Desktop environments. Here is my personal preference -

DE

1. XFCE
2. KDE
3. Cinnamon

WM

1. Hyprland
2. BSPWM
3. Openbox / Labwc

Don’t wait. Get Linux Mint Cinnamon / LMDE on a USB and install it.

If you don’t like Debian based or Linux Mint for some reason, then check out Nobara or Fedora KDE spin. EndeavourOS is also great.

Nah it needs more red, but it’s getting there.

Thats a cool feature for sure but I don’t trust opera.

I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn’t figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.

I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -

1. I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn’t afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.

2. I couldn’t play games using steam proton. I don’t know the situation these days, but I’ll surely check it out If it has improved since then.

You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.
