Discord cant stream desktop audio at all on Linux aside from sharing a tab's audio if you're using Discord in a web browser. There are custom clients (like discord-screenaudio which OP mentioned) capable of doing this to some extent but they're based on the web version of discord and lack features / can be buggy. Also these options don't have hardware encoding so any fast moving content will become a choppy mess for the viewers.

The other alternative on Linux is to just route the app's audio into your mic source. Others will hear it but it will come out as if its your mic so even those not watching the stream will have to hear the stream audio unless they mute you.

I've had a Pixel 5a and currently have a Pixel 7. Have enjoyed them greatly. The 5a was a bit mediocre overall, camera performance wasn't that great & it got a bit slow over time. That being said, the clean OS experience and integration was always nice and it was perfectly suitable for my needs at a good price.

Now that I'm using my Pixel 7 as a daily, the Pixel 5a is holding up pretty well with GrapheneOS as a backup phone / media player.

Pixel 7 has been really nice to me. Interface is smooth, camera is nice, everything just works essentially. And getting the latest Android pretty quickly is a nice feeling. My only gripe is that Google's SoC is still a bit lacking and battery life isn't the best, but I hear the current Android beta has some promising battery life improvements.

Overall I've been having a good time with them. Still kinda miss my Nexus 5x tho, that thing was sweet...

But the article is talking about unsupported Chromebooks being sold through Amazon and Walmart. Google isn't selling the unsupported Chromebooks on their own web store.

I remember having a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time a few years ago.

You have up to 4 players (iirc) manage a spaceship which is essentially a platforming area. It gets pretty hectic (in a fun way imo) managing the different equipment on the ship and piloting it around while dealing with obstacles and enemies.

Even when you're not intentionally plagiarizing, Turnitin may catch something that could screw you over when the assignment is submitted. Sometimes you have a chance to see what Turnitin analyzes and resubmit the assignment but OP is saying they can only submit it once so they want to use the Grammarly checker first.

I didn't have a specific plan for how I wanted to use it but having it around encourages me to use it.

Because of the Steam Deck I was able to kick back with it in my hands and be like "eh why not start Yakuza 0 I've had it in my library for a while" and now I'm set on playing through the whole series since they're remastered on Steam these days.

Also is nice to have it around for whenever I wanna kill a bit of time and run some roguelites or other casual games. But overall it's made it much easier for me to drop in and try out my backlog of single player games since it's so easy to start playing even if I'm not in the mood to sit at my desk.

I've also found fun use cases like leaving it in its dock and using the touchscreen to trigger Soundux soundboard with the audio routed to my main PC. Or using obs websocket to control OBS on my main PC from the Deck's touchscreen, kinda using it like an impromptu Stream Deck (lol). All around fun to use as intended and also find cool ways to utilize it when I'm not gaming on it.

For some reason it infuriates me that they compare ChromeOS to "other Linuxes" as a plural when they could've just said Linux distributions

[-] jaykstah@waveform.social 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

On many popular distros there are graphical apps preinstalled for that. The distribution maintainers have repositories with common packages to make it so that you can open an app store and install programs from one place rather than going to different websites and downloading installers.

I've gone like 5 moths without updating a laptop on Arch before and the only thing I had to deal with was updating keyring first

I think most people who are already using windows will just stay on 10 for as long as possible rather than switching. I had a friend still using windows 7 by the time 11 rolled around. But once 10 hits EOL maybe the momentum will convince more of those to switch to a Linux distro

That's just how people are in general regardless of platform
