MATE gang rise up!

Do XP next!

Signal is nice. SimpleX seems neat too.

have you tried GoLang? It’s big for game dev as of late

This made me smile 😊

I used to use Kodi, worked really well.

Asked Perplexity, got this back, seems right.

When choosing a Linux distribution for a Home Theater PC (HTPC), several options are tailored for media consumption:

1. LibreELEC: This is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-use media center distro based on Kodi. It’s designed for dedicated media center PCs and supports various media formats. LibreELEC is simple to set up and runs smoothly on older hardware[5].

2. OSMC: Another Kodi-based distro, OSMC is known for its automatic media library updates and support for remote control devices. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for media playback[5].

3. OpenELEC: Similar to LibreELEC, OpenELEC is a “just enough operating system” designed for running Kodi. It is suitable for embedding into a media center setup[6].

4. Ubuntu MATE: Although not specifically a media center distro, Ubuntu MATE is user-friendly and can be configured with media center software like Kodi or Plex. It offers flexibility and stability for a media center environment[5].

5. Linux Mint: Known for its ease of use, Linux Mint can also be used as a media center with additional software installations. It provides a full desktop experience with the option to install Kodi[7].

Each of these options provides different levels of customization and ease of use, making them suitable for various HTPC needs.

100 percent this. Anything SP backed is gonna be safe. Unless you can do a CD, some have good rates of like 4-5 percent. T-bills tend to be too low yield for me tho.

This is amazing!

It’s gonna die like Digg or Fark … Which are still around, but shells of their former selves. TBH most normal folks haven’t even heard of Reddit, let alone Lemmy or Mastodon.

If you use Inoreader, you can just skip going to it for the most part.

You can also setup a little linktree page and just have all your profiles link to that so you don’t have to update 10000 links on every profile.

slow clap

Huge fan of PHP…I mean PGP, oh god auto correct, you scary 😳

I mean, you’re in the right place to advocate for that 😜

No one mentioned Phind or Perplexity, both are niiice.

I feel personally attacked 😭

Straw Hat gang rise up!

What do you mean you didn’t buy a Canon 1 series? That point and shoot is a PoS you loser. 😝
