Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Music Assistant 2.7 - Taking over the airwavesEnglish
3·1 month agoIn case anyone wants to use something while waiting on some features for this, here’s an alternative set up:
Cheap Ikea ZigBee smart plug and an analog Bluetooth speaker(s) (like the Marshall ones) kept at on with volume set to max (and, if using a music player that supports it on your phone, you can keep bass and treble controls at max as well).
You can then turn on the smart plug, which will turn on the whole set up, connect your phone via Bluetooth, and play the music via a file manager that has a music organizer (if music is on your own server) and control volume levels and an equalizer on an app of your choosing. If you don’t want to wait for syncing to your Bluetooth, you can also do a quick automation so it turns on the speaker in the morning so it auto connects before you wake up.
At least, that’s how I have things at the moment.

Opensource@programming.dev•HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

You’re the one who keeps moving the goalposts.

1·2 months agoIt does, but runs a bit slow. Switched it to Garuda xfce after.
I don’t know if it was faster or slower than USB 2.0 Speeds

Opensource@programming.dev•UN Ditches Google for Taking Form Submissions, Opts for an Open Source Solution Instead
2·2 months agoWell they got spurned by Google pretty badly already which is why this is even on the table now
Finally someone else said it.
Just adding that since they game Bazzite is maybe the better option but still fedora based.
But I’ve too seen compatibility issues recently with Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros, but not really with Debian based ones (yes, even though Ubuntu is based on Debian). I don’t know why, but even MX has given me less troubles recently than Mint (not that I’d recommend base MX though - I just heavily customized it so that it’s elderly friendly, so people who basically barely can use a browser and have poor eyesight).

You vastly overestimate the average computer user’s abilities.

Linux@programming.dev•780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks
1·2 months agoSure, these days it could be said (though Mint still is a bit different looking enough that it could also be said it looks less like Windows 10 than Zorin - that’s why they think you’re running Windows 9 instead). 10 - 15 years ago? No, Mint didn’t look like Windows. Maybe Windows XP but not 7.
That’s why Zorin exists, because back then it actually looked a lot like Windows, and was one of a few that did so.
And, it could also easily change it’s look to XP, Vista, 95, and Mac back then too. I think now though it’s only Pro that it has all the options, but it also has expanded options I see including ChromeOS (which I imagine is something certain schools would prefer).
And unlike Mint, even the core edition can easily swap to a touch type interface for those with touchscreen laptops.

Linux@programming.dev•780k Windows Users Downloaded Linux Distro Zorin OS in the Last 5 Weeks
3·2 months agoNah, y’all just young. Zorin’s designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they’ve always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.
If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.

3·2 months agoOh fuck off. You’ll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre.
You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven’t even heard of a distro that’s been around over a decade either? Poser

4·2 months agoIt’s for people who don’t know what an operating system is (probably over half the world population or much greater) but can understand “this is like Windows but works faster and with less viruses, and it has something like Microsoft Office but free”.
It was the most easy to convince others to use it during the Windows 8 era because it looked so much like Windows 7 and likely the same is happening now with the end of life of Windows 10.
Not that hard if you ever spoke to anyone who doesn’t really understand computers. Good for you I guess that you came from a family of tech literate people I guess.

Linux@programming.dev•What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
4·2 months agoI have the same layout except an older 3090 instead of a 5090. I had compatibility issues until I switched to Bazzite. Seems Fedora based distros work better with new hardware compared to Ubuntu based ones. It’s worked so well I finally straight up deleted windows entirely.

6·2 months agoI’d like to legitimately know the possible rationalization that came to that conclusion
Ohp you’re right. I misunderstood the prices, and thought the cheapest one was 200$ not the most expensive one. 200 to 350€ I figured was the VAT + Import fees.
200 to 600 don’t know what the heck is going on.


How would I do that? I that each and every community had to be manually approved by the server administration
