Yeah, I wasn’t close for a picture and I didn’t know how to explain it (English isn’t my main language). Just has to remember to take a picture next time I went to the bathroom 😆

This

The side of the toilet paper. My best friend is a mad men and puts it on the wrong side. He always changes it whenever he goes to the toilet somewhere.

Its just funny, my gf made a frame specifically for him in our bathroom and at one point we duck taped the shit out of the toilet paper dispenser so he wouldn’t be able to change it. Made everyone laugh.

I migrated from Bitwarden to 1password because I wanted something that works better on Linux. With 1password-cli and PAM integration mainly. Bitwarden worked beautifully under Windows, but once I switched over to Linux, I realised that 1password had more Linux friendly features. I track some discussions over bitwarden that talk about implementing those features, I might come back at some point.

Why would they need production capacity to produce a product that is useless for the NATO military doctrine? That’s just not how NATO countries wage war. Of course they don’t have a good production capacity of a tool they are not likely to use. And even if they wanted to start to produce them at the start of the war, it wouldn’t be ready today, it takes a lot of time and resources to build production capacity from scratch.

This is TOTP. I use my password manager for that. I used to use Bitwarden, but I recently switched to 1password.

SSO means single sign on. If I sign on to Google, it automatically sign me on other apps. I use a forward auth on my self hosted services. I used to use authentik but I switched to google since it just works much better. If Google makes a shitty move in that department, I can always fall back to authentik.

I don’t mind using proprietary softwares if they’re good, I just prefer to think about an alternative in case I need to switch.

I installed this week, so I’m not a long time user. But it’s by far the best self hosted photo app that I’ve used. Before that I used nextcloud, but the user experience isn’t as good Imo.

The only things that I miss are automatic albums based on face recognition and pet recognition. I still use google photo to share with family though.

For Gmail, I switched to fastmail. For google photos, I switched for immich.

The services that I still use from them are google maps, YouTube and SSO. They are all services that I wouldn’t mind them shutting down. It’s just that I find them much better than any alternatives.

You present western media as a single monoblock. It isn’t. Even a single media is not a single coherent unit. Every journalist has his/her own voice since, contrary to China, we don’t lock people up for voicing their opinion. Everyone can do investigative journalism. There are correspondants in most countries, when information comes up, it is verified as much as possible with people living there. When we talk about investigative journalism, the information is verified and usually corroborated by the other independent medias. If a media realize that the government propaganda doesn’t match with reality, they can publish the story without retaliation. Not only that, but they would have quite the story and they will be quite happy to publish it.

You seem unfamiliar with all this, do you have free press where you live?

Equating Western propaganda (and yes it exists) with Chinese authoritarian state is precisely a China apologist attitude.

I replied because I wanted to. The fact that I replied doesn’t have anything to do with your ability to convince people.

You’re doing a poor job of it though… What your doing is going on posts that have nothing to do about America and saying “yeah, but America is bad”. Most people here are aware that america does a lot of bad things. But denying that China is magnitude worse for its citizens isn’t “not to defend China”.

You sound like a China apologist more than anything. You convince nobody by doing that.

You should learn about something called free press and specifically the consequences on the societies that have that compared to others. It doesn’t immunize a population against propaganda, but its effects are much more tame. Also free press also means that you can have main stream media that goes against the government’s narrative. This is just not possible everywhere.

Of course we are bombarded by American culture, but science and investigative journalism still exists and where I live, we don’t lock people up for having “bad” beliefs or for simply investigating and sharing ideas.

I’m suscribed to youtube premium and I still pay for Tidal.

I like the integration into Plexamp. I use it often.

I don’t don’t regularly download music, The music I download is mainly specific recordings that I can’t find on Tidal, for example Vynil versions. (I like some good Vynil recording since they usualy have a higher dynamic range).

So having Tidal besides my library is nice. The Tidal integration has its quirks though. Sometimes I can’t play some albums. Don’t know why or how to fix it.

I use a Ultrawide as my main monitor, a 1440p vertical one on the right and 2 portable 15" 1080p under the Ultrawide.

When I need to share, I share one of the 15". I keep my notes and the call on my Ultrawide. I think it’s a great setup.

But if you don’t want as many monitors, for sure 2x 16:9 is much better than 1x 21:9 or even 1x 32:9.
