The announcement comes after Twitter announced across-the-board job cuts earlier on Thursday, with plans to lay off 9 percent of its workforce, which equals about 350 people. The company also said in a letter to shareholders that it was going to prioritize some parts of its business, while deprioritizing others.

Twitter was financially in a bad shape for a long time, the first year they generated some profit was 2018. Source Vine existed 2012-2017, I think they couldn't figure out how to monetize it. Twitter was a text based platform, tiktok was designed for video from conception.

But I still don't know why they didn't try to sell it instead of shutting it down.

Coub was also nearly shut down in 2022, it seems like it's hard to profitably maintain a short video service.

One more thing could have an important impact was music rights. Tiktok has special deals with record labels for background music, Coub was Russian, so they could just pirate music. Streaming wasn't big back than, only spotify existed, labels couldn't figure yet out how to milk internet users, so I guess Vine couldn't get as good deals as it would now. Too early, too legal.

IIRC Vine and Coub made it mainstream more than 12 years ago, it's not something new. Gifs are basically a prequel of the format.

If people wouldn't like it, it wouldn't survive this long, and wouldn't be copied by every other company and requested in threads like this. It's alright if you don't like them but please let other people have fun. You don't have to "learn" from everything, it's just jokes and light entertainment.

OP asked about Open Source not about privacy.

MicroG minimises connections to google servers, here you can read what addresses it still connects to and why: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connections

MicroG works really well

Redmis usually have a good 3rd party rom support, if you can open the bootloader. Literally any rom is a better experience than MIUI or whatever they call that nowadays.

There is already a crdroid official available: https://xdaforums.com/f/xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro-5g-poco-x6-5g.12860/

That video is till up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj04MKykmnQ

She went there, because in the support forum the manufacturer replied that they can only give the source code in person.

Actually that's acceptable, and does not violate GPL, they just expected that noone will show up in their sweatshop. GPL does not define how you should make the source available.

No recipe inventory, you should write your own.

It wasn't clear from your post if you are looking for actual reciepes or a software managing them.

If the former, than I see why your search queries yield no results. "Open source" usually associated with software, open written works usally ha ve some kind creative commons license. Search for that instead

Grocy has a recipe feature, it can even recommend you recipes based on what you have in your fridge: https://grocy.info/#recipe-details It can run on your server or you can use it a standalone desktop app. It's a full systems to manage your fridge, e.g. it notifies you if something will expire soon.

But I think four use case any wiki or note manager software would be enough. You can hyperlink there ingredients for example.

These are self hosted, but you can use your desktop as a server, and a lot of them works completely offline:

You can buy IDE m.2 converter. There are usb to floppy converters, usb drive shows up as floppy drive. You can attach modern peripherals to old computers, this kind of retro world with modern and old parts mixed is funny.

I don't have this exact card, but used several different pcie soundcards with linux with toslink, and usually I had to fiddle with pavucontrol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Are you using pipewire?

Install pavucontrol, what profiles can you see there for this card? I had to change the profile there to get digital output.

MR: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/merge_requests/1

An issue: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/issues/91

To find your already installed debug packages:

pacman -Q | grep -e '-debug '

This debug packages usually huge, I noticed this accidentally, and I haven't found a news about this on archlinux.org

To solve this add a ! before debug on line 97 in /etc/makepkg.conf
