It’s mini PC that I manage to have it working only with FOSS, even the bluetooth, but it’s a dongle with Bluetooth version 1.1 and I want to upgrade but keeping the system with FOSS.

It’s a mini PC, no PCI or m.2 extension, it’s connected to the internet through cable, but I also have WiFi dongle and a Bluetooth dongle that don’t require proprietary firmware, but the Bluetooth version is only 1.1 which its limitations and I want to upgrade.

I’m already using one that doesn’t require proprietary firmware, but it’s Bluetooth version 1.1 which it has its limitations

Great job! thanks for your effort. It seems that it overrides the default settings of mpv. I tried adding options in the box in the settings like --volume=50 but it doesn’t work.

Does it support playlists or at least a list of videos in the video link?

Yeah, I use MPV as a external player and it’s great because you can highly customize the way you watch videos. I like equalize the sound and through a MPV script I save the video from cache with a keystroke if I liked it. Sadly watching with subtitles stopped working some weeks ago.

I don’t see the reasoning “hackers with AI” is a vague, it’s already happening. Scammers use deepfakes to steal $25.6 million from a multinational firm The software to do this is already available in github for anyone to use it. There’s a billion market around phone scams, it’s just a matter of time of widespread adoption of this technology by scammers. Scammers are swiping billions from Americans every year That’s why I talked about being well informed and seeing the dangers. May be I’m paranoid but it doesn’t mean its not happening.

If I should talk about an emotional color concerning to this I’d say it’s defeat. They will get what they want.

Well, it seems that my bad english made it seem that I am suffering of anxiety or something. I just don’t like the abussive behavior of corporations and the government that exposes us unnecessarly to the risks of being hacked or scammed.

No daily anxiety at all, just being aware of the dangers. When I drive and see a red light I just stop, there is no anxiety involved, I’m just aware of the dangers of crossing. If you are not aware of the dangers of the excessive digital exposure and surveillance you should subscribe to this community and read what’s going on in China and in an increasing number of western countries in relation to this.

Debian 69?

How many years until they run out of characters?

Debian is the first choice if you look for stability and the last choice if you are looking for the latest versions of the software.

Connecting to a non free site (anti feature) doesn’t mean having proprietary or non free dependencies (being non FOSS), which is what you stated, but OK, you don’t trust proton proprietary services. I assume you don’t see youtube videos for the same reason, any FOSS privacy app or frontend will have that anti feature too.

That doesn’t mean it is not FOSS, there are many anti features not related to not being FOSS. Newpipe for example is FOSS but has anti features just because it connects to YouTube which is non free.

do you see how easily you are manipulated with misinformation? That’s why people don’t stop talking stupid things about bitcoin. She doesn’t say that in any moment. She says higher highs and higher lows, which is true and doesn’t mean allways increasing.

One of the biggest misconceptions about bitcoin is that it’s a neoliberal/libertarian thing. Thinking this way only shows lack of understanding. A famous short video from the most respected bitcoin educator will make understand better. https://youtu.be/ywO0r_Fz0lc

And about the environmental concerns Lyn Alden has a post that deals with all the misinformation. If you are really interested take the time to read it, it’s exhaustive. https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/

Honestly I was expecting far more downvotes. I posted the video with people like you in mind, who still can think critically without the burden of misinformation and ideology.

This video has seemingly no sources for its claims.

It’s just an introductory video. The references are in her book. I counted around 300.

Lyn Alden is part of “Ego Death Capital”, a venture capital company around cryptocurrencies (https://egodeath.capital/team)

Only Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not any crypto or altcoin, which I agree most are scams.

Lyn Alden is the Board Director of Swan Bitcoin - a Bitcoin investment platform (https://www.swanbitcoin.com/alden/) Lyn Alden is not an economist (https://www.lynalden.com/about-lyn-alden/)

Who are you expecting to make a video about the failure of the current system? A banker?

Bitcoin cannot be diluted (~27:25) REALITY CHECK: Bitcoin is always being diluted until it reaches its hard limit.

What she obviously means is that nobody can delute it. It creates new money at a mathematically determined rate.

The value of Bitcoin has only increased over time (~27:50) REALITY CHECK: The log scale is playing tricks. A linear graph would show how volatile Bitcoin has truly been.

She doesn’t say that. She says bigger highs and bigger lows, which is true. That doesn’t mean it always increases.

Bitcoin’s hard limit is likely very dangerous for the network (~29:00): Once the hard limit is reached, it is unclear if people will keep >pumping computing power at it. If the creation of new Bitcoin is no longer allowed, it is possible that transaction fees will need to >be raised to compensate miners.

Dont worry, it will happen in 2140.

And of course is Bitcoin propaganda, and more of this quality is needed.

Besides the solution proposed, the video excels explaning how we have reach the current mess in the economy.
