has your YouTube consumption decreased after implementing the "no history, no recommendations" feature?
  • proycon proycon Now 100%

    I've been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don't visit the site if I can help it, I don't login, I don't "like & subscribe", I don't see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don't see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

  • Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?

    Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

    I'd go for Alpine Linux in such case.

  • Non-US sci-fi recommendations?
  • proycon proycon Now 100%

    I'll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it's often hard to find good books in other languages. I'd also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

  • Question for software developers: how do you organize your To Do list at work?
  • proycon proycon Now 100%

    I'm using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

    • make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
    • time tracking functions
    • synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

    Not really, though it wouldn't be hard to add, say via a cronjob.

  • What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?
  • proycon proycon Now 100%

    I'm not much of a distro-hopper. I think I've been on just four distros on my daily-driving desktop & laptop since about 1999:

    • RedHat (around 1999, starting with 6.0)
    • Mandrake (around 2001?)
    • Ubuntu (around 2006)
    • Arch Linux (around 2012 - today), and no intention to hop. In fact, I recently bought a new PC and installed Arch again. On the previous machine, I installed it once and it rolled nicely its entire lifetime.

    My personal server has been running Ubuntu LTS for ages, I might have run debian a long time ago, but I'm not sure anymore. Nowadays I run a container setup, and those are running on Alpine Linux.

    Let's not downvote the poor guy just because we lost him to Apple. The comment is on topic and people are allowed to make different choices/mistakes 😉

  • Throwing in the towel on mobile Linux
  • proycon proycon Now 100%

    I can definitely see where you're coming from and I have similar experiences. I got fairly fed up with the fact that the modem often doesn't come up again after suspend on the pinephone. And if you disable sleep like I often do, you often find a dead battery. Despite all the great work of so many people, I'd have hoped for some more stability in the ecosystem by now.

    I also took up a spare Android phone unfortunately, but I'm really fighting with its interface, I want my sxmo !

    I didn't see any dedicated natural language processing communities yet so I started one. I hope fellow NLP researchers, students and all who are interested join to discuss language technology, computational linguistics, etc. Link: [!languagetechnology@lemmy.world](/c/languagetechnology@lemmy.world)

    I wrote this a while back, it's a probably a niche tool for people who like to stay in the terminal, load their own data from simple tsv files, and still learn vocabulary.

    I made this 15 years ago, but I figured it might be appreciated by this community. Ever since I watched the show in my teens, I've been playing its music.

    Not a question as such, but this is a popular youtube channel where Russians are asked questions, including sensitive ones about the horrific war going on right now. I figured it might fit the theme of this channel.

    This is a niche-solution based on the well-known todo.txt, for the more technically capable user. I mainly just wrote it for myself but maybe others can find use for it too (it's fully open source).

    A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running. Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
