4k freshwater screensavers?
I hope this is not off topic. I love using 4k screensavers for my tv, like long forest walks, birds, or fish. Unfortunately almost all of the fish ones are creatures from the oceans. I like those too, but does anyone know of some nice, hours long, videos from freshwater fish or shrimp? I miss my fishtanks, so i would really enjoy watching them on tv, whether in the wild or in big tanks.
US: No mention of other political parties, other than republicans and democrats?
First off, i live in Europe, so i honestly don’t know too much about politics in other parts of the world, other than what i sometimes see in the news. I hope my innocent question doesn’t trigger any nastiness. My question is; in discussions i see only talk about democrats vs republicans, for instance discussions only about Biden and/or Trump. But my understanding is that there are other political parties one can vote for. However, i never see any mention of them. So, is it that most people are not interested in those? Or maybe they don’t get enough media time? Or are they seen as too extreme? Are the US basically a two-party system? And does it change over time? There are a lot of worries in the world - i don’t need to name all of them - but this seems to trigger more extreme views. Does this mean that those other parties attract more voters nowadays?
Covid brain
[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/08d69033-d99b-44c5-b8f7-f7ee1f5455dd.jpeg] So, a few weeks after my very first covid attack, i still have some fogginess. So, i discovered a few tiny mistakes in my little bookmark cross stitch. And i stopped working on it, because i had already fixed some other small mistakes and i was feeling disheartened. I contemplated whether i could stitch over them (but i’m a bit of a neat freak, so this tells you how i felt about it), or rip them out, or just ignore them and keep going. And for a week i was looking at that thing on my desk, waiting for me to make a decision. So, today i picked it up again and checked my pattern. I did not make a mistake. I colored them wrong on my chart… (For anyone interested, it’s the Vevaco PN 0184423 kit.)
Kagi, view my stats?
I hope this question is allowed here (since it is one of the search engines that i now use instead of google). I’m trying out Kagi [https://kagi.com/]. For the trial, you get to have 100 free searches, i belief. Is there a way to see how many searches i used up? I can only find stats for Kagi, not for my personal stats. How do you all like Kagi? And if so, do you pay for it? I’m considering paying, but i would like to have some insight into how many searches i actually perform on average in a month time. I honestly have no idea. What i also do lately is ask a question to a LLM (i found Petal) [https://chat.petals.dev/], so that i have a start on where to search for more precisely. Sometimes, i get incorrect answers, but often it helps me get more of a handle on what i should be looking for when using a search engine. For example, i switched to Linux and Petal helps me understand some things better, which i can then use to do a more precise search.
Yesterday, Proton shared plenty of their plans and thoughts on the dreaded r** site
I never go there anymore, but i made an exception to read Protons plans for the (near) future. I found it very interesting, so wanted to share [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/18czv7w/were_three_scientists_who_went_from_cern_to/] here.
Yes, Proton Drive for Linux is currently not being actively worked on
Thought i would share this with you all: I contacted Proton for a technical issue and decided to also ask about their plans for Drive for Linux. Their response: > Proton Drive on Linux: Regarding the availability of a Proton Drive client for Linux, this is a common feature request that many users have expressed interest in. Our team is aware of the growing demand for a Linux client. While we currently do not have an ETA for when a Linux client might be available, we have not ruled out the possibility of working on it in the future. I’m very disappointed, since i’m probably going to switch to Linux over the weekend.
Questions; Space restricted on Proton Drive My Files?
Hi all, I’m preparing to move to Linux and am backing up a number of files on My Files (so, not the synced files). I have used about 90 GB on my proton account, but in total i have 550 GB available. While i was moving files, i suddenly got a popup that i only have 2 GB left on My Files. So, there is a cap on that? I have never read anything about this. Does anyone here know more? I’m pretty disappointed, because now it will take a lot more work to decide which files i really need to keep. When i install linux, i will only have the web version of Proton Drive available, not the app. In other words, once i move to linux (not dual boot), i take it that all the sync files will be gone and i will only have My Files left. Or will it still keep the latest synced version of all the files on my Drive? Anyone have experience with this?
Noob question: what to arrange before switching to linux
Hi, I’m getting ready to switch to Linux. I’m looking for a kind of checklist of what to do beforehand. When i search online, there is a lot of advice on which distribution to choose and how to set it up, which i already know, but my question is the step before. I made a list of which programs i currently use (almost all have a linux variant or i can use them in the browser) and i am making screenshots of their settings. I have basically everything important backupped, both on my ProtonDrive and on a private server in the house. Is there anything else i need to prepare before switching? I wouldn’t want to overlook something. (I already have the distribution and am trying it out, but my plan is to actually install debian and without dual boot. Also, many, many years ago i already used debian but then i had the luxury of someone who basically arranged everything for me) Currently, i run windows 10 with Nvidia GeForce. I already am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting so to speak, so i don’t use google drive or onedrive, or MS Office anymore (nor a lot of other things). Apologies if this is not appropriate for this community. Have a great day :-)
I sewed a bag
[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/01feec65-c9d4-449b-8fe2-8c16af476148.jpeg] All from secondhand curtain and bedsheet. Sewing, serging and handstitching. It has a lining and an inside pocket. It will be a gift for someone. It’s so cheerful! Don’t look to closely, but it is sturdy enough
Proton Photos is coming!
