No need for outside tools, go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps>Opening Links and set which apps open which links. No idea if it’s an Android or a Graphene feature, since I’m on Graphene as well. I’ve set up Revanced to handle all my Youtube links, works flawlessly.

I mean, I agree with the fact that it’s fun to know the basics to software engineering (just knowing the words in a coding language is kinda useless by itself) but no one’s building their own alternatives by themselves. The field is too vast. Find your specialty and contribute to open source projects.

Outertune, Harmony, etc. kept dying on me too, so I pulled the nuclear option and set up a Jellyfin server for my music. yt-dlp can download whole playlists, so I had it pull the 250-ish songs I regularly listen to from youtube. I use FinAmp as the music app on my phone now, it’s set to automatically download the songs I add to my Jellyfin.

Only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to find out about new music, but at least I’m now always guaranteed to have something that works.

Maybe try ZorinOS! I’ve used it for a bit on a Laptop with a touchscreen and it performed reasonably well. Didn’t get to try it for very long because I gave that laptop to my parents, but they’re still using it with no complaints so far :0

Would you see someone who is paid to interact with you as an equal though?

So that leads us into the actual question: would you be willing to take a job where you pretty much just train men on how to act around/ treat women?

Nope, hard pass. Never been into the social field myself, because it’s full of bullshit jobs. What would make this one any different than any of those “Life coach” jobs that promise to teach you all the secrets that will instantly fix you, as long as you have the money to keep paying for that “wisdom”?
Reality is, there is no single proven way to treat women. And if anyone claims that there is and they know it, it’s a scam.

It’s oddly specific, but vegpool.de has a weekly newsletter that lists all the vegan foods on sale in german supermarkets for the week. It’s usually only a few interesting items per store, so getting it compiled like that is super handy

I think Valve is one of the only companies I don’t actively hate. Steam is a pretty solid platform that hasn’t been too enshittified over the years, even though the gambling on there is kinda concerning.
The advances in Proton are usually attributed to them. And I like how permissive the family sharing on there is (I personally only own like 2 games and just leech the rest from my husband).

But of course, they might just have a good PR team and be secretly shitty. I’m always down to just hop back to pirating games.

Oh, in that context, Humble Bundle seems pretty decent as well. That’s where my husband got most of his steam games from

Oh, that’s not just a Linux issue sadly. My company uses Dell Laptops with Win11 as development machines and every single coworker has issues with their laptop overheating in their bag if they don’t completely shut it down beforehand (I say completely because if you close it before it’s fully shut down, it will still keep running and overheat, fun!)

Most of us speak pretty good English and German media absolutely sucks ass, so many people choose to exclusively hang out in English-speaking spheres i guess

Ooh, there’s a great Asimov short story about this! Victory Unintentional (1942)

I think TickTick has that feature!

The upside to Teams is that you can always claim it’s at fault for your fuckup. It has so many bugs that no one can ever say that something can’t go wrong because of teams.

• Fell asleep at your desk and didn’t see an important message or call? => “Dang, so sorry, Teams never sent me a notification!”
• Way too late to a scheduled meeting => “Omg hi, finally! Teams crashed every time I tried to enter the meeting!”
• Hungover and don’t want to turn on the camera => “I’m sorry, Teams starts stuttering every time I turn on the camera, so I’m keeping it off for now.”
• Forgot to get back to someone? => “Huh but I wrote you like a week ago… weird, Teams must have swallowed the message”
• Don’t want to answer a tough question in a meeting? => “Sorry, your audio keeps cutting out for me. Just one moment, let me restart Teams.” pretend to struggle for 20mins and give up without answering the question

I’ve been daily driving Bazzite with Gnome too for the last few weeks! It works perfectly fine, but I was weirdly unhappy with the aesthetic of it, despite knowing for a fact that I love Gnome, especially the bare-bones Gnome that CachyOS has.
I only found out about Gnome extensions a few days ago while trying to get rid of the ugly Bazzite Logo in my top bar. It’s probably super obvious to anyone else, but those extensions make such a huge difference and playing around with different ones is absolutely worth it!
OP, if you do end up going with Bazzite, go to the “Extension Manager” and toggle a few of those on or off to see the difference! Getting new ones is super easy too!

I recently switched my parents old Macbook with a random Dell Notebook running ZorinOS and they’re pretty happy with it so far! So maybe that could be an option for you? Their guides are very easy to follow as well - https://help.zorin.com/

Just like with bog-corpses, the canal environment will be what protects until they are dug up again

Year 7-9 was pretty alright for me! I had cut out all the people I dislike in my class by year 6 so after that I had a nice, tight-knit friend group.

When I was a teenager, my main source of income was online Usability testing. It was pretty inconsistent, some weeks were 10$, some were 60$, but it took fairly little effort and time. All I had to do was click through a website and narrate how my experience with it was.

It probably pays way less nowadays, but I remember that usertesting.com was my main website for this back in the day because they paid 10$ per test (even if it’s just 10min) and had plenty of opportunities. If you want to try it, make sure to state your household income/education level/job is a bit more than it actually is. You do get more tests that way
