>>17532 When it comes to media pirating it is almost invariably just going to get you a better higher quality product with no DRM, and unlike pirating software there's zero risk involved. Not to mention it's unbelievably easier than even getting shit you paid for to work. You're essentially saying you want to pay for youtube premium to download a youtube video instead of typing yt-dlp [URL] into a terminal. To say that the former is "proper" isn't autism, it's retardation. Pirating media is the proper way to get the best quality content with the most agency.

>>17533 >When it comes to media pirating it is almost invariably just going to get you a better higher quality product with no DRM, and unlike pirating software there's zero risk involved. Not to mention it's unbelievably easier than even getting shit you paid for to work. And here's the flipside of that argument and what I'm more concerned about: I don't want these companies using me as an excuse for why they cannot make money. I don't care if I can get a "better quality version" through piracy as that's moot to the central point that these companies justify their shitty practices as deturrents against "unscrupulous characters". If I pirate content, then I'm proving them right. Therefore the only correct course of action would be to deprive them of all excuses for why it is they're allowed to treat their customers like shit.

Does the Zune require proprietary software to load the music or can almost any program do it?

Any recommendations for end to end encrypted private text/voice chat that doesn't require me to host my own server?

>>17536 It's pretty neat, but I think sort by color balance is slightly flawed, as it ends up with a ton of black and white images in the middle, while sort by hue places images with low chromatic magnitude at the end, outside the rainbow. Since you can also sort by chromatic magnitude, which places mostly black and white images at one end, I think it would be feasible to filter most of these out of color balance like they are for hue sorting. In fact, I think it might not be too hard to implement a system:color (assuming such a function can't be folded into a different system predicate) that allows you to search above or below certain color balance, hue, chromatic magnitude, and lightness thresholds. The system already fetches all the information necessary to perform such a search in order to perform these sorts, so it should be mostly just be making another UI window if it were to be added. I don't think it'd be particularly useful outside of fetching images to make those color collage images like pic related, but it would be neat.

>>17538 Also, it's personally not much of an issue to me, as I already tag images as "black and white", which lets me exclude them from color sorts. The chromatic magnitude option really helps find stray black and white images I've missed though.

>>17530 in terms of the fuzzyness, like you mentioned 99.7, would it be possible to have a "most likely compression noise" or when there is an areas where the details are quite a bit more firm "most likely same set with slight difference" I think that those two would be the... well I don't want to say easy, but probably the easiest to make a filter set know as for the window with thumbs, it would be really nice to have on the side a few buttons [a is better] [b is better] [related alturnaties] [false positive] we can give a quick scrub through of the thumbnails that come up and pick out the obvious, and what's not obvious, goes to full on opening the images and doing them one at a time while a/b ing them hell, even the 'is better' isn't necessarily true, its just that im keeping one of them and not the other. for me where things are going to get fuzzy is png's and jpeg's where I take the pngs out of hydrus, downscale/reencode to jpeg and re import, I could honestly see my biggest auto resolve being png vs jpeg where they are 99.5% the same but the jpeg is half the size or less. I have already gone though around 200gb of files like this that I got rid of, not to mention the ones I kept to be processed later on.

>>6929 There isn't any 3d acceleration so you can't play games.

>>6929 Yea games are basically a no-go. I use a laptop running QubesOS for most things, but I keep a PC for games and anything else with even slightly demanding graphics. Some people have figured out how to get GPU passthrough working, but it's difficult and largely undocumented. Overall, QubesOS is easily my favorite OS. I've uninstalled it a couple times for the convenience of something else, but I always come crawling back to it because I literally just don't feel safe on anything else lol.

Other than the graphics performance, poor suspend support is also really annoying. Being able to suspend a running VM to disk is pretty useful, especially to temporarily put away work when RAM is low.

>>11153 seconding kitty.

Alacritty works fine and supports image viewing with ueberzugpp. Kitty has OPT-OUT analytics and the project leader does not want to change it, which is a red sign, but it's usable enough as a program in itself. Wezterm is often recommended, but I found it to be a little heavy and prone to crashing.

>>9622 terminal emulators are garbage obsolete software. use emacs as the text-based interface to your computer if you want true freedom and power.

the soulful interfaces of the past are simply not something that is going to return. the golden age of the personal computer has passed. basing your choice of software on soulfulness in current year is pure folly. reliability and function are the new priorities in our increasingly draconian and overly complicated digital world. popular des like gnome, which have many eyes on them and receive serious funding and contributions, are better tools. you might hate this utilitarian approach, i don't love it either, but it's simply what computers have been relegated to, and using them as anything other than tools is delusional.

fuck uis bare terminal it is

I had written a couple of applications with the TK framework and honestly I would not have any problem if all applications used it instead of the shit we have today. It may not have all the features of Qt or GTK but frankly I don't think most applications need everything Qt or GTK offers. Most applications seem to be gradually slipping into mobile device design at worst or mac OS design at best and I fucking hate it.

>>17470 Youtube-local had been broken for months. Did they finally fix it?

>>17471 No, my bad I just checked. What I just started was setup an instance of tubearchivist and just keep a backup of what I want to watch, that way it's guaranteed to always work. It's really only good for channels/playlists you already know will be good, but I guess that's the best way to use YouTube in the first place.

>>17465 >You can't browse on yt-dlp. Yes, thank you. >Browsing on YouTube is what we're trying to avoid because it's absolute shit, but you have to do it to copy the link to yt-dlp. Well, no, most people using Invidious are also trying to avoid ads and trackers. >>17466 >you have to trust those niggas to not be glowies A (no-log) VPN + Mullvad Browser combination, which you should always be using anyway, will protect you from that regardless.

the beauty of gnome is that it filters compulsive ricers and brainlets who can't figure out how you're actually supposed to use it. you probably worship vim for offering increased efficiency but don't apply the same logic to something like gnome, which is absolutely the case, for a much smaller learning curve. the problem with vanilla gnome haters is that they are not trying to simplify their computing experience or get shit done. all they wanna do is make time pass and play the autistic male equivalent of dressing up dolls on their computers.

>>16048 Is your computer so slow that it can't execute a bash script?

Also + 30 for the 7:30 programme, I'm assuming -- are comments in lua and don't run code after it. Also commas after each { } except the last in the list, like { {}, {}, {} }

>>16738 >>16739 It's unreasonable to expect you to give me a crash course in not being retarded, thanks for all the help you do give, you've answered the question and I can go from there - I can probably make something with that however pajeeted or yanderedev'd it may be I'll see if I can have ai check my code once I have a basic prototype built

Sorry, I forgot I made this thread for a while: the breadboard was a waste of space and painful, so I just hooked everything up to a server rack, they're running diet pi and should work, but I haven't actually set up the RF modulators fully yet so I can't confirm 100% that it all works yet, but it should do I've gotten myself a nice AI server for cheap to make code since I'm retarded, the commodore monitor pictured didn't work because it's 15khz so I swapped for an IBM one for now but I plan to switch back in the future because it looks nice, I also bought a nice keyboard pictured to complete the aesthetic, and I'm getting a new desk because just using this stuff at the rack is annoying Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! you're awesome for helping me!

>>8442 yep, I installed it a month ago manually. its awesome

>>10283 pacman is great, faster than dnf and apt-get, much faster than zipper, nice interface, and plenty of helper utilities if you need

>>8442 i made a 6 page handwritten manual for installing arch back in the day, will probably be a relic

Considering every search engine sucks now, I eventually settled for Brave. DuckDuckGo is Bing. Startpage and Qwuant are Google. When Bing or Google censor something like Tank Man from their results, it’s censored on DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and Qwuant. I would use a SearX(NG) instance, but they either are down or the UI bugs or glitches out. Brave Search is good enough…for now.

>>17396 Brave is also bing.

>>17408 Source? Everything I've seen is that Brave Search is its own index, not reliant on Bing or Google. I could be wrong, so please share more information on Brave being Bing.

>>9801 I imagine tails / linux would be your answer since it can pass everything over tor, even if you're not using tor browser. I think even on debian you can create a virtual network interface that actually is connected to tor

Run Kik in an Android VM on Tails and route the entire traffic through Tor, easy

TOR doesn't support UDP
