    Worse still that an MP came in form sick leave to vote against.

    From what I read somone would abstain and shed be on leave, making the votes even out. Then they pulled out and said they'd vote so she came in to have her vote count!

    I've started a commitment to disengage with enshitification. Sequels only if movie 1 deserves it and was released in the past few years. I dont need to waste time on E.T. 2 or Home Alone 5.

    You can use Syncthing (the fork on FDroid is better) and Obsidian (for the notes). You can also use obsidian services (might be paid) for the sync but its easy enough to do yourself.

    Premiumize. I dont fully understand. But they have server farms thst will download your torrent, and then you download the file from them. Its faster and your IP doesn't see it as a torrent. You also dont have to leave ypir PC on if there's only one seeder. If somone else has downloaded thst torrent before its already in the farm and you visit download it from them.

    However the main thing is they integrate into Kodi and my new fave Stremio. So you can just stream anything anytime without all the torrent stuff I just mentioned.

    Endeavour IS is arch with KDE and a few basic apps. Pretty sure you dont need WiFi to test it. For any issues you can just use the arch wiki. I really enjoyed it as first distro as the wiki is so helpful. I moved to Mint tho (not DE) and have loved not having to use the terminal for anything.

    Perplexity isnt new. The hook is it links to the web articles its sourced the answer from. So you can (somewhat) vet the information isnt a hallucination or dog into the website for more info.

    I installed an emoji quick search app (not sure what one). It freezes Wayland/mint.

    I tried Wayland once and didnt realise I was still logging in with it.

    Maybe I misunderstood. Are launchers more like "search" or quick lunch?

    I was looking for a start menu replacement.

    Tracker Control is blocking me from joining. Weird that Molly (its a hardened signal fork) is showing amazon is being contacted when trying to join the group.

    I can unblock it but its weird. I also noticed the other domains its been trying to (unsuccessfully) contact.

    Probably not the place to ask, but. Say In a n00b and have Arch (EndeavourOS BTW) on a 15+ year old laptop. Everything works fine hardware wise. Software is fairly basic web, Inkscape, LibreOffice.

    Do I really need all the latest Arch updates? Or can I just do an update say every 6 months?

    I got that but still what? Why does the front lift up, why does the cop car spin round, why do the cop wheels go horizontal.

    PIT should spin the crim and the cop should remain forward.

    Linux on iMac?

    Question is title. In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs. A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates). I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple. - Is this going to be like installing over windows? - What issues can I expect? - Should I consider another distro? Asking here as searching results in AI bullshit websites.

    I'm looking for a way to browse YT or find creators I might like. In the long run I'd like to use YT like my podcasts. Thst is, play the new content daily/weekly form people I follow rather than mindlessly scrolling the algorithm. With most podcast apps I can just see categories and go through the top creators in each category. Along with seeing how often content is posted. This way I can also check out other random categories and find content outside what is normally like. Searching YT just gets all the clickbate and my algorithm is pretty rubbish. Im using Tubular and SmartTube, but perhaps there is a website or other way to find creators?

    I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows. Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months. I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs. And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics. I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

    I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync. When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected. When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues. Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what. I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account. _Written with dyslexia._

    Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

    Is it possible to set the local button to show another instance? Ideally when signed in but I'd also be happy to swap to a guest/anonymous account. It saves having to make many instance logins. And I think it's voyager that allows this. Good work and cheers
