I want to see how Open Source projects has gone after the crisis in 2017 (article is from 2006, where things were in a good plan). My first knowledge of Vzla using Open-Source projects on the Government was Canaima GNU/Linux and its usage on education with the Canaima Educativo.

Posted their album here if you want to take a look

Well, that's better :) then I can consider moving this into Nixpkgs.

An awesome tool for sure. What I like about it is that if you want to store stuff on an untrusted server, you can encrypt the whole content (so you get it stored without the worry of having anyone seeing its content).

A reminder to the people using Privacy Redirect: The Translate redirect generally points to translate.metalune.xyz (which seems to be an old instance of simplytranslate.org). Remember to change it to simplytranslate.org.

Speaking about the tool, I recommend it a lot.

I saw IPTVNator wasn’t available on Nixpkgs (and probably would be rejected to avoid anything related to DMCA or some stuff of takedown), so I decided to port it to NUR (an external nixpkgs repo) and got it working. It is using the AppImage.

So, if anyone is using Nix, you can install IPTVNator from NUR now :).

Hm, I wouldn't call it dying (unfortunately). See it when WhatsApp (part of Meta, or FB at that time) put the new Privacy Policy and it looked like people was finally going to leave the platform. It didn't happen, they simply left and came back.

I see the same happening with Fb (again, unfortunately).

No, Upwork. I have only tested it on Sway, not sure if on GNOME that behavior changes.

I wish I could use Wayland but the software I use to work, which needs to take screenshots of my desktop, can't take any screenshots from it (on my case, using Sway). And the company who made it give zero fs to find a fix to it.

Oh yeah, let's confront nazis by giving hugs. That for sure would help fighting antidemocracy.

Yes and no. Yes, graphically, you would like to use something that won't make you despise your experience using a GNU/Linux distro. Some people can smoothly transition from a DE to another, or even use a TWM with no problems, but others are simply used to a single style, and that's totally understandable.

But, trying to complement to what @Ephera@lemmy.ml said, each distro will have its way to handle a bunch of other stuff. You can feel amazing using Garuda Linux but somehow despise the AUR experience, or using something like Xubuntu but hating apt. I found myself loving Elementary but despising apt, but now I am using Pantheon on NixOS and I love it.

Maybe on Nick's point, as we are talking about people being introduced to GNU/Linux, it is a very valid idea.

I didn't know John Frusciante was back. Kind of a nice surprise to me.

Thank you, didn't know about that one. Need to test it to see if the local results are shown as expected (this is the main reason I have to rely on Google results)

Indeed. just edited the previous comment. Didn't know about that.

By the way, Falls Of Rauros will throw a new album soon, here is a single.

I can provide like my Top 10 stuff of "recent albums" to use as a reference (won't include Gravpel):

• Nachtschwarz - Abysmal Ruin
• Etxegiña - Herederos del Silencio
• Bring Forth The Exodus - Rituals From a Dying Forest
• Ethereal Shroud - Trisagion
• Dawn Treader - The Burial of the Dead
• Mystras - Empires Vanquished and Dismantled
• Toul En Ihuern - INSREF
• Lamp of Murmuur - Submission and Slavery
• Devil Warship - GodIsNowhere
• Destructo - Demonic Possession

As a special mention, I want to add Kaatayra's Impariquipê. Not the usual BM, but an awesome album.

I think Startpage is a frontend for Google results (last time I tested, the results on the first page were the same). The only thing I'm not sure if it is dangerous to use it (I use DDG and if I can't find anything, then I go with Startpage). @the_tech_beast@lemmy.ml is right, they are owned by an ads page now and the whole thing smells fishy.

Also, I recommend using the Privacy Redirect extension. Supports redirects from Twitter, YT, IG, GTranslate, Maps, Reddit, Wikipedia or any search you perform, to an alternative frontend

Agreed. Unfortunately, the only effective way to get a group/channel (if they are associated with a group) taken down is with very dirty methods. And I say this because I have seen groups of any kind being taken down because of NSFL content that the mods weren't able to take down on time.

Not at all, Neckbeard Deathcamp is kind of an intro for some regarding satire to chuds :).

Just because of this, I had to post one of their albums.

On another panorama, as elections are coming in Brazil and too many people has created an account to mostly follow groups in favor of Bolsonaro (which generally spread misinformation about a bunch of topics), the major election authority there (TSF) tried to contact Telegram for content removal, with no response.

So there is a menace that Telegram might be blocked there. Not sure if that would happen (and if it does, they will find methods to circumvent this as usual).

I must admit I have found this band recently and have it on my list. Thank you!

Maybe the two things I complain about them are not putting Mercedes Marxist/I Dream Guillotine on an LP and CRAWLER being a roller coaster (It was a cycle of being engaged and bored).

But yeah, Ultra Mono, Protomartyr's Ultimate Success Today and Shame's Drunk Tank Pink were my AOTY.

Thank you!

Maybe my only complaint about the chart is recommending Panopticon too much (not that I dislike it, but it makes it look like only Panopticon is the main option). But again, the point of this community is bringing more bands and more variety.

P.S: Also pinned it

To the point of "Our installers are just better", I would put a "depend of what installer you are talking about and your desired setup".

I was going to try Manjaro and install it on my gaming PC (which was using NixOS previously). The problem is that on Calamares, I was not able to find a way to mount my other encrypted drives besides root. This was disappointing, because I know I could do that on the Fedora installation (which uses Anaconda), for example.

But coming back to the topic, the fear of installing a distro comes to the fact of not knowing what you are doing and screwing up your data. This is why you need to be focused on what you are doing at that moment. And also, some guided help would be great (I used to do that with friends at the Uni). But the rest is simple and easy to do, unless you need to perform everything almost manually, which is another story.

Another one to the list of the Victims of Chen Weihua Memorial Foundation

Also wanted to add SAO Documentary. They are Chinese tourists that recorded three trips to the DPRK.

Also this guy from Tijuana, Mexico (he went in 2019). It is in Spanish though, and he was kind of reckless (in the way of just recording and not asking if it was permitted, or simply recording where it is not permitted).

I love IDLES and almost all albums are bangers :)

Lol, I can't find any results for this quote

Do you have recommendations of channels on Peertube? The only one I have found on the main page that I know is "The Hated One" (It's unofficial and I don't watch it, it just appears on Invidious recommendations). Don't worry about the topics, as long as it is something cool to watch, I think it would be fine to check.

I need to test it again, because when I found out about Piped months ago on HN, most of the videos crashed. But again, it was months ago.

As much as I have tried to use it constantly for a few days (I joined a few communities from Twitch streamers), I feel it is complicated, specially when there are servers with a bunch of channels where everyone interacts and there are too many notifications. It's too much for me.

I see its benefits of how easy is to enter a voice channel and such, but that's it. There is nothing that makes me feel attached to it (not even the FOMO for not interacting helps).

And being a closed-source tool, makes things even worse.

By the way, sorry if you see too many posts from there. I'm trying to post some of the known bands that come to mind. Hope it is not an issue.

What I love from Bandcamp are the recommendations. Generally, when you are suscribed to a band mailing list, sometimes they are mentioned on a Bandcamp article where they recommend similar stuff. I definitely found more stuff from it compared to years of using Spotify.

Although you need to purchase stuff and there is a limit to listen (do not spam the play button for a song you like, or you'll find that limit), you can download your purchases and even find cool merch. Plus, as @nromdotcom@lemmy.ml said, Bandcamp Fridays are a huge support to the bands.

Thank you! :)

Here is the RABM subreddit and the Antifascist Black Metal Network channel on YouTube

EDIT: FYI, checking the subreddit, it seems it is imploding with the whole "I can listen to fash stuff as long as I don't support it" mentality regarding a certain mod and its supporters. Still the recommendations there are the good ones, just avoid the chaos on the comments (as usual).

Much to the contrary, see it as a counter-movement to that scene. Most of the bands associated with the RABM scene are fed up with the perception that Black Metal is a genre where only shitty people prevail. You will see more anarchists composing the scene though, but the main idea is standing against racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. It is not a huge movement, but this is why it is needed to bring visibility and support to these bands, mostly because they also support causes related to fights against corporations, injustice and so on.

There is a RABM community on Reddit that definitely contains more info about this, and some of the members have even engaged into investigating more about most of the bands and even creating lists pointing to sketchy stuff. Besides that, another place I use as a reference to find this band is the Antifascist Black Metal Network on YouTube. The person in charge of it is very strict on posting bands there.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Same here. I used to pay for the Plus version until I found out Tutanota has a client on F-Droid and the free tier works nicely. Another thing is that I can bulk export, which is something I can't do on Protonmail unless I pay for a plan.

The only thing I don't like about Tutanota is that everything is enclosed on their apps, so you cannot use any external clients, and I rely a lot on Thunderbird. And while I can connect Protonmail through the bridge, I still need to pay for it.

In the end, I'm slowly migrating to Mailbox. It's not free, but I like it, offers a bunch of features I use and I can connect it with external clients. Tutanota is the secondary service I use.

Not only Newpipe, but recently I have been relying too much on Invidious.
