USB C Headphones Recommendations

That's the nature of the beast. You can't have human users on a network without at least some slop.
But the decentralized network ensures that a "techno-baron" has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.
That's decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.
Yes. German is a Lego-block language. The example in the image is extreme, but there are lots of "combination" words like that.
For example, glove is Handschuh, which means hand-shoe. A shoe for your hand.
And valve has already won. Everyone else is just playing catch-up, and good luck catching up to a Linux-driven steam-integrated platform. You will need it.

Backup Question (External HD to pcloud)
(lemmy.world)
I'm setting up a backup if an external hard drive to my pcloud, and I have come across the following issue. I need the help of this awesome community.
I used to run arch on my laptop, and I set up a backup of a usb hard drive to my pcloud storage. This was extremely convenient, because all I had to do was occasionally connect the drive, start the backup service, and that's it. Any changes to the drive would automatically be backed up in the cloud.
Now I've switched to bazzite,and the pcloud doesn't recognize the external drive as the same device anymore because the path has changed. It treats the drive as a part of the "new" laptop.
Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this? I don't mind starting from scratch again, I just want to find a way to avoid this in the future.
Note: I understand that I could just get a raspberry pi or something similar to act as a new dedicated "pcloud backup device" or something like that. I'm looking first for a solution that would work in the case of a new linux PC veing used in the future to do this same job and not loose the connection.
Edit: I think it would be enough to change the name of the PC, either just for the (pcloud) flatpak or the whole PC.
This certainly isn't of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.
Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:
- download the game via steam.
- switch it to use proton
- switch it back to linux version
- use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn't touch the game anymore and screw it up.
- add the exicutable to PATH
- start the game via terminal
If any one of those step was left out, it didn't work. I'm no linux expert, so I didn't have the skills to actuality find the real problem.
That's the price of privacy. Google has that traffic data because there are so many drivers with thier app installed. If you are OK with a giant corporation monitoring your every move, then of course that convenience is a good reason to use thier services.
Data is the new oil.
I'm starting to think this was a pre-planned bait and switch. Let MAGA and the Russian trolls waste thier energy and money going after Biden, painting him as old and senile. Then Kamala comes in and goes all scorched-earth on Trump.
Whether it was planned or not is not all that important though, the result is a thing of beauty.
I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.
The German language is like legos. You can just slap words together to make new ones.
Like glove. It's Handschuh in German, which id hand-shoe. The language is full of words like this.
Well the dodos seem to think that "the time" is a relic of some sort that one can possess. But you understood that.
I don't think there's anything I can explain that will make it funny for you. I suppose it's a matter of taste.
It's not about support. It's not about 100% agreement with Biden's policies. It's about using your vote as a tactical choice to influece the government as best you can.
Each US citizen has three options: vote for Trump, vote for Biden, or don't vote. For me it's clear what the only viable choice is.
By all means protest. By all means vote undecided in the primary. Of course we should use other means to put pressure on someone like Biden to change his policies. But at the end of the day he's playing the tactical game too. And so is Israel, btw. They know that the US is weakened by the election cycle, that Biden's hands are tied right now by the need to retain centrist votes.
It's a practical decision, that should be made not based on an ideal world, but based on the real world in which we currently live and the options we actually have.
