This!
Consumption is made of impulse choices. (most of the times).
Also we are having fewer children, does this drug reduce also the impulse of having sexual desires? In that case that would be even worst.

You are right, I think I need radio paradise occasionally :)
Are you French? If so, "bonjour de la part d'un autre français perdu dans les méandres d'internet"

I was using radio paradise a couple of years ago, where I discovered a lot of new musics and it was great. But also I wanted to listen to some of my favorite songs (things I listened when I was a teenager and some more commercials titles) and I went to a streaming service. Sometimes I regret radio paradise and the discovering of new things. But also, I like how streaming services allow me to listen to old (and new) things more "commercial".

Well you can look at the money but environmentally it's a disaster. Closing nuclear power plant was a mistake, reopening coal power plant is another. But I guess what's important is the economy...

I had the exact same problems you mentioned!
Also, Nvidia gpu drivers are the worst (I was on Manjaro back then) to seeif I could get rid of Windows for gaming purposes. I used Linux for games for about 6 months and had to quit and get back to Windows.
I should retry now with all the steam deck fuss!

I personally have a qnap Nas because I wanted something cheap. I did not enabled all the fonction and I will definetly not enable all the "internet functions".

I agree with you with the first point, giving money to companies isn't a good idea but I think it's also a bad idea to give it to "the people". I think it would be better to change. My opinion is most people are going to buy thing they don't need. Instead we could focus on better ideas for the future.... I don't know maybe I'm too utopist...

Exactly what I though! I finished Control about a week ago so it's still fresh in my mind. (great game tho)
Re:Steam for Linux client adds support for Linux namespaces
on Monday November 11, 2019 @03:07AM (#21502985)
I recently moved to Linux as a primary (and only os). I was a windows user because of games and I was so fed up with automatic updates, privacy concerns and so on that I decided to fully go to Linux. I searched a lot over internet before choosing a distrib (I'm not pro Deb or rhel or else) so I ended up with Manjaro (KDE version). And it such a delight fully customizable. Steam installed with some of my games working without doing anything "complicated", I was impressed! And then I installed lutris for all non native games. I expected much much troubles but in fact, it was easy. I installed Epic games store first and oxenfree just to test. It runs smoothly! I also installed Control (great game) in standalone still with lutris. I finished the games with only two or three crashes.
So yes gaming on Linux is not ideal it might not be with the best performances also but it was much much easier than I though before doing the big step from windows to Linux. I'll follow any new improvements for gaming on Linux and I hope in the future that every store and game will be accessible natively on Linux. And that more and more user have the choice of the os they want!

I really enjoyed reading your comment thanks! I think orientation is very valuable also but we kind of lost it because of GPS and so. I remember maybe 20 years ago, my parents and relatives always had a physical map in their cars. When I started driving, I had one too (even if I used it only one or twice)
Re:Spybot Anti-Beacon: Disable Tracking/Telemetry in Windows

I'm using spybot for quite a long time now but I think I reach a point where I can't continue with windows... I'll move to manjaro soon the only things that was making me stay with windows was the games. I'll do whatever I can to make it work over Linux. Windows always updating when he wants really annoys me. Anyway, everything I have at home is already Linux or android so...
Re:Jellyfin is an open source alternative for Plex
on Monday August 26, 2019 @03:01AM (#20797967)
Interesting, I setup a plex server on a Linux lxc container to test the software and so I could have Netflix and my local library on the same "client" (which is a ps3). But then I end up going back to kodi installed on the same Linux because it was wayyyyyy better than plex. I also have to say that my bandwidth does not allow me to stream content when I'm away...
Re:Ask HN: Where do you find new music to listen to online?
on Saturday August 17, 2019 @01:36PM (#20725144)
For me it was a promise that headphones (can't remember where I found this but I think it's still on github) should have compelled... But I never got to make it work...
So I find new songs when watching series or even on YouTube.
For me the best is Radio Paradise (free eclectic radio on the internet) it's more "old" stuff than new stuff but I discovered so much quality music (and still discover new things)
